4-In-One Remote Control
(15-1991) Troubleshooting Faxback Doc. # 58258
If You Have Problems
Manual Code Search
If the 4-in-One Remote Control does not operate your remote-controlled
devices when you first set it up, you might have to manually find the
correct codes for your devices. You can try all the codes listed in
"manufacturer Codes" in Faxback Doc. # 58259 for your brand device, or you
can follow these steps to search the remote control's entire library.
1. Manually turn on the device you want to set up.
2. Press the corresponding device key (TV, VCR, CBL, or AUX).
3. Hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then press 9 9 1. The
red light blinks twice again.
4. Aim the remote control at the device you want to operate.
5. Repeatedly press POWER then the device key (TV, VCR, CBL, or AUX)
until the device turns off.
6. When the device turns off, press P within 10 seconds to save the code.
The red light blinks twice.
Note: If you do not press P within 10 seconds, the remote control
does not save the code.
Because the 4-in-One's library has so many codes, this can
take several minutes.
If your device turns off during the search, but does not
operate after you lock in the code, begin the search again,
pausing longer between key presses.
If necessary, repeat these steps for each device.
Note: Some VCRs and CD players do not have a POWER key on the original
remote. If so, manually turn on the VCR, insert a tape or CD, and
repeat the manual code search using PLAY instead of POWER. When
the device responds, press P. The red light blinks twice.
Determining the 4-Digit Code
After you set up your remote control using the manual code search, you can
find which 4-digit code the remote control is set to by following these
steps.
1. Press the device key you want to get the manufacturer's code from,
then hold down P until the red light blinks twice.
2. Press 9 9 0. The red light blinks twice again.
3. Press 1, then count the number of times the red light blinks. This is
the first digit of the 4-digit code.
Note: If the red light does not blink, the digit is a 0.
4. Repeat Step 3 three times to find the second, third, and fourth
numbers of the 4-digit manufacturer's code, pressing 2, 3, and 4,
respectively for each additional digit.
Troubleshooting
If the remote control stops working after you have successfully tested the
control for each device, or if you are unable to get the remote control to
work at all:
Be sure you press the device key for the device you want to control
before you press any other key.
Confirm that your remote-controlled devices are working properly by
using the original remote control or the manual controls.
Replace the batteries.
If some keys do not function, try a different device code.
