4. Enter a code. Use the number buttons on the remote control to enter a four-digit code 

(starting with the first code in the list on the screen). After you press the fourth digit of 
the code, the red light on the end of the remote control should flash. If it doesn’t, try 
the next code.

5. Test the code. Point the remote towards the TV and test the button (refer to the table):  

If pressing the button works (e.g., turns the TV or A/V stereo system off, or changes 
the TV input), the code is correct. If it does not work, repeat steps 3 and 4 using the 
next code on the list. If none of the codes works, perform a code search (see below).

If none of the codes listed allows you to control your device, a code search may detect the 
correct code. Performing a code search can take up to 20 minutes.

1. Prepare the remote control. Point the remote away from your DVR.

Refer to the table below and determine which two buttons to press to prepare the 
remote. Press and hold the buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds (until the red 
light at the end of the remote lights up and stays on when you release the buttons).
