programming the Remote
to Control other devices

The remote control will only control the device 

that is selected by the appropriate mode key 

(STB, TV, DVD and AUX). The mode key light 

for the selected device flashes each time a valid 

key is pressed. In order to control other devices 

with your MXv3 Remote Control, you need to 

tell the remote control what types of devices 

you have. Sections A and B take you through 

the steps needed to do this. The volume controls 

will control your Set-top Box (STB) until the TV 

device mode is set up. The channel controls will 

always control your STB. If you want to change 

this, you should follow the steps in Sections E 

& F. 

To use your MXv3 Remote Control for your other 

devices, you will need to set up the TV, DVD and 

AUX mode keys to control the devices (Section A).

Please refer to the code list for a list of supported 

brands and models. If you do not find the brand 

of your device on the supported code list, please 

refer to section B for the search function or you 

may use section C for instructions on the learning 

feature of your remote control.

If you have an integrated or combo unit such as a 

TV/DVD, each component of the unit may need 

to be set up separately by setting up both the TV 

and DVD mode keys.
Note: The DVD and AUX mode keys can be set 

A. Manual programming

How to set up the TV, DVD or AUX mode keys:

1. Power on the device you want to program and

AUX) and, while holding it pressed, press the OK 

key for 1 second.

3.  Release both keys. All of the mode keys will 

flash, then the selected mode key light will stay lit.

4. Enter the 4-digit code by pressing the numerical 

keys (0-9). The selected mode key light will blink 

for each digit entry and will remain off after the 

entry of the fourth digit  - indicating a successful 

setup.

5. Point the remote control at the selected device 

and press the power key once. The device should 

turn off. If the device stayed on, repeat steps 2 

through 5, trying each code for your brand until 

you find the correct code

Repeat the steps on the previous page to set up 

another device. To use the remote control for 

your Set-top Box, press the STB mode key.
Note: If an invalid code is entered or no key is 

B. using the Search Function

To search for a particular device code for DVD or 

AUX, e.g., VCR, use the Manual Programming 

for section A and program DVD or AUX with any 

VCR code prior to starting a search.

1.  Turn on the device you want to control and 

point the remote at that device.

2. Press and hold the mode key (TV, DVD or 

AUX) and, while holding it pressed, press the OK

selected device turns off. Once your device has 

turned off, press OK to save the code.

5.  To indicate a successful setup, the selected 

mode key will turn off and you are ready to set 

up another device by following steps 1 thru 4 of 

this section.

C. Learning 

If the code for your device is not found in the 

code list and the search feature was not able to 

find the code for your device, then the learning

The volume controls will control your Set-top Box 

until the TV device mode is programmed, e.g., 

if DVD mode is selected, then volume controls 

your STB. If TV mode is programmed and DVD 

mode is selected, then volume controls your TV. 

If  you’d  like  the  volume  commands  to  operate 

from just one device, e.g., always TV, then follow 

the instructions in Section E-I. If you’d like the

remote control times out. The selected mode 

key light flashes for 3 seconds and turns off. The 

remote control returns to normal operation and 

you will need to start over.

k. troubleshooting Learning

You can only learn one device type under any 

one mode key. For example, only learn TV 

codes under the TV mode, DVD codes under the 

DVD mode, etc. If you are trying to learn from a 

“Universal” remote, it might have more than one 

code type stored under a mode.

a. No functions may be stored under the LEARN 

key, or in the STB mode.

b. Depending on the remote you are trying to 

learn, some keys may not be learnable.

c. Only one original device type can be learned 

per individual mode.

d. Use fresh batteries for your original remote and 

your MXv3 Remote Control.

e. Stay at least 3 feet away from incandescent or 

low-energy lights when learning.

f.  Before learning, clear all learned commands 

(refer to Section D-II), then try learning two or 

three commands initially.

g. Point your original remote at the bottom end of 

your MXv3 Remote Control so the IR elements 

on both remotes are directly in line with each 

other (see diagram in C-I). You may need to adjust 

the height of either remote to achieve this.

h. Avoid learning your original remote’s Volume/

Mute keys unless you are sure these operate the 

same device.

i.  Avoid  learning  your  original  remote’s  VCR 

or DVD transport keys unless you’re sure these 

operate the same device.

j.  If  learning  the  first  or  second  keys  for  a 

mode results in continuous errors, then try the 

following:

i. End the learn session by pressing the LEARN key.

ii.  Clear out the learned commands for 

that mode.

iii. Check that the IR elements are correctly 

aligned between the two remotes.

iv. Adjust the distance between the two remotes 

to be closer (e.g., half an inch) or farther away 

(e.g., 2 inches) from each other.

v. Try learning the original remote for that 

mode again. If problems reoccur with the 

same key, check the original remote key 

being learned. Does it transmit? Does it 

operate the target device? Try learning that 

key under a different clear mode. If it learns 

OK, then it is likely to be a different code 

type from the others and cannot be learned 

under the same mode.
