(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).
Performing a Code Search
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.
