Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your cable box. The Volume and
Mute keys will not work until a TV code is programmed into the remote. If the remote
provides only limited functionality for a device, you can look for a code that provides
more functionality. Before you begin, make sure you know the brand name of the device
you want to control.

Note: Some remote keys may be assigned to operate one device type only. For example,
volume control may be assigned to the TV only. If this is the case, you can reprogram
power, volume, and channel control using procedures later in this guide.

1. Find the codes for your brand of device in the appropriate setup code list at the end

of this guide. For example, look under TV Group if you need to program the remote
to operate your TV.

2. Turn on your device.

3. Press and hold SELECT and the appropriate mode key until all of the mode keys

blink twice. For example, to set up the TV, press and hold SELECT and TV.
Note: If you reassigned mode keys, you may, for example, press SELECT and VCR
to program the VCR mode key with a TV code.

4. Enter the first setup code for the device. All mode keys blink twice to indicate that

the code entry was accepted.

5. Point the remote at the device, and press POWER, PLAY 

, or 

 to test the

device.

6. Did the device operate correctly?

• If yes, write down the code that worked on the cover of this guide.

You may need it again if the device code is accidentally erased.

• If no, repeat these steps using a different setup code.

Note: If none of the codes listed for your brand of device operate the device
correctly, go to What If None of the Codes Work for instructions.

7. Repeat this procedure for each mode key you want to program.

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 2. The CBL mode key blinks twice.

3. Press the mode key associated with the type of device you want to control, and then

press the mode key that you want to change. All mode keys blink three times.

• To program the AUX key to operate your VCR, press VCR and then AUX.

• To program the VCR key to operate your TV, press TV and then VCR.

4. When finished, go to Program the Remote to Control My Devices.

Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:

•

The Rewind, Play, Fast Forward, Stop, Pause, and Record keys (the transport keys)
are programmed, by default, to transmit the codes for the Explorer

®

 8000

™

 series

Home Entertainment Server video-on-demand (VOD) or digital video recorder
(DVR) functions when in Cable (CBL) mode.

•

The transport keys control different devices, depending on the mode key you press.

You can choose to override the default settings for the transport keys so that the
transport keys operate a different device when you have selected CBL mode.

Try your remote to see how the transport keys currently work. If you want to change the
settings for the transport keys, complete the procedure that fits your needs.

1. Press and hold CBL and SELECT until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 9. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press the mode key (VCR or DVD) associated with the device you want the transport

keys to now control.  All mode keys blink three times.

•

The transport keys now always control the device associated with the mode you
selected in this procedure (DVD or VCR).

•

Pressing PLAY 

 starts the VCR, the DVD, or the device that has been

reassigned to AUX.

•

In AUX mode, the remote always controls channels for the device assigned to the
AUX key.

1. Press and hold CBL and SELECT until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 9. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press CBL. All mode keys blink three times.

Result: The transport keys are restored to their default settings.

Example: Pressing PLAY 

 in CBL mode starts the DVR.
