Troubleshooting
P
roblem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate
y
our component.
You may be too far away from the component or at a
wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) technology
to communicate with components. The remote sends the
code and the component’s IR sensor reads the code.
Therefore, there must be an unobstructed path between the
remote and the IR sensor on the component. Move closer and
make sure you point the remote at the component (VCR or
DVD player when programming the VCR•DVD key; TV
when programming the TV key; cable box, satellite receiver or
digital TV converter when you’re programming the
SAT•CBL•DTC key).
If you’ve entered all of the codes for your brand that
are in the accompanying Code List and followed the
instructions, try one of the Code Search methods
(See Code Search on page 8)
You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD,
SAT•CBL•DTC) so the remote knows which component
you want to operate.
To program the 3 component universal remote to operate
a combination unit (TV/VCR or TV/DVD), first try the
VCR or DVD codes for your brand. Some units, however,
require that you program both the TV (using the TV
codes) and the VCR or DVD (using the VCR or DVD
codes) for full operation.
Problem: The indicator light does not light when you press a key.
You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD,
SAT•CBL•DTC) so the remote knows which component
you want to operate.
You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the
remote is in (for example, REC only works in VCR Mode).
Make sure the batteries are properly installed.
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries.
Problem: The remote does not operate your component.
You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD,
SAT•CBL•DTC) so the remote knows which component
you want to operate.
Remove any obstacles between the remote and the
component. Make sure to aim the remote at the
IR sensor on the component.
Make sure the batteries are properly installed
(See Battery Installation on page 3).
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries.
