Programming the AR ARRS05G Universal Remote Control

Programming the AR ARRS05G Universal Remote Control

Before you can start using this remote to control your home entertainment system, you need to program it to operate those devices.

You can program the remote’s device keys for the following kinds of devices: TV-Television, DVD/VCR-DVD player, video recorder, CBL/SAT (DTC)-Cable box, satellite receiver, or digital TV converter, Audio-Amplifier, amp/tuner, Aux-Video accessory device, digital TV converter.

IMPORTANT: By default, the CH +/– and VOL +/– keys are locked to the following devices regardless of what mode you're in:

• CH+/– changes channels for CBL/SAT (DTC) only. Don't test the CH+/– keys unless you're programming the CBL/SAT (DTC) key.
• VOL+/– controls volume for TV only. Don't test the VOL+/– keys unless you're programming the TV key

To program this remote to operate a device:

1. Find the code for your device in the code list below. Codes are listed by device type and brand name. The most popular code is listed first. Make sure your device is switched on (not in standby mode).
2. Press the device key on this remote for the device you want to operate.
3. Press and hold the SET key until the device key blinks twice (the red indicator underneath the device key blinks once, then twice).
4. Enter your four-digit device code using the number keys. The device key blinks twice.
5. Now, aim the remote at your device and press POWER. If your device switches off, the remote is ready to operate your device.
6. Turn your device back on and try all the remote’s functions to ensure they operate properly.

Notes: 

• If the functions do not work properly, repeat steps 1 to 5 using another code listed under your brand. If none of the codes listed for your brand operate your device, or if your brand is not listed at all, try the Code Search described method below.
• Some codes are quite similar. If your device does not respond or is not functioning properly with one of the codes, try another code listed under your brand.
• If your device’s original remote control does not have a POWER key, press PLAY instead of POWER when setting up your device.
• Remember to press the corresponding device key before operating your device.

Code Search

The code search allows you to scan through all the codes contained in the remote’s memory. If your device does not respond to this remote after you have tried all the codes listed for your brand (or if your brand is not listed in the code list), use the code search to program the remote.

To search for your device’s code:

1. Make sure your device is on (not in standby mode).
2. Press the device key on this remote for the device you want to operate.
3. Press and hold SET until the device key blinks twice (the red indicator blinks once, then twice).
4. Press 9 9 1. The device key blinks twice.
5. Press POWER.
6. Aim the remote at the device you want to control. Press CH+ over and over, until your device turns off (every time you press the CH+ key remote sends out a POWER signal from the next code contained in the memory). You may have to press this key many times (up to 150 times) so you'll need to be patient. If you skip past a code, you can go to the previous code(s) by pressing the CH– key. Remember to keep pointing the remote at your device while pressing this k
