Programming Device Control

The One For All 6-Device PVR Universal Remote Control is preprogrammed at the factory to operate an RCA TV, VCR, and satellite receiver, a Philips Tivo PVR/DVR, a Toshiba DVD player, and a Pioneer audio receiver/ amplifier.

NOTES:

• For DVD Player/VCR Combo control, see the next section.
• To program control of a cable box or satellite receiver, press CBL/SAT once.
• To program control of a CD player or audio receiver, press AUD once.
• To program control of a TV/VCR Combo, press VCR once. After programming, you will be able to control channel selection, volume, and VCR functions.
• To program control of a TV/DVD Player Combo, press DVD once. After programming, you will be able to control channel selection, volume, and DVD functions.

To control devices other than the default brands, perform the following steps; otherwise skip this section.

1. Turn on a desired device (e.g., VCR or DVD player) and, if applicable, insert media (e.g., cassette or disc). NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes and device you wish to program before starting step 2.
2. On the remote control, press a device key once (i.e., TV, PVR, DVD, CBL/SAT, AUD, or VCR).
3. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
4. Use the "Manufacturer's Codes" to locate the type of device and brand name and then enter the first four-digit code for your device. If performed correctly, the LED will blink twice. NOTE: If the LED did not blink twice, repeat steps 2 through 4 and enter the same code again.
5. Aim the remote control at the device and press POWER once. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 2 through 5, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still doesn't work, try "Searching for Your Code" below. NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER key, press the PLAY key.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each device you want to control. For future reference, write down each working device code in a safe place.

Programming DVD Player/VCR Combo

1. Turn on the DVD Player/VCR Combo and insert a DVD. NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes and device you wish to program before starting step 2.
2. On the remote control, press DVD. Next, press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
3. Use the "Setup Codes for DVD/VCR Combos" to locate the brand name and then enter the first four-digit code for your device. If performed correctly, the LED will blink twice. NOTE: If the LED did not blink twice, repeat steps 2 through 4 and enter the same code again.
4. Aim the remote control at the device and press POWER once. It should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 2 through 4, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try "Searching for Your Code" below. NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER key, press the PLAY key.
5. If you've located a setup code that works, but it also has a separate VCR code, you'll also need to program it into the remote control to access VCR controls as follows: a. Press VCR once. Then press and hold the SET key until the LED blinks twice. b. Enter the VCR code for your DVD Player/VCR Combo. If correct, the LED will blink twice. NOTE: If a separate VCR setup code is not listed, you can use the VCR key to program a separate VCR device or another device.
6. For future reference, write down the working DVD Player/VCR combo code in a safe place.

Searching for Your Code

If your device does not respond to the remote control after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code. For example, to search for a code for your TV:

1. On the remote control, press TV once.
2. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
3. Enter 9 9 1. The LED will blink twice.
4. Aim the remote control at the TV and slowly alternate between pressing POWER and TV. Stop when the TV turns off. NOTE: In the search mode, the remote control will send IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.
5. To lock in the code, press and release SET. The LED will blink twice.
6. To search for the codes of your other devices, repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitute the appropriate device key for the device you are searching for.

Checking the Codes

If you have set up the remote control using the Searching For Your Code procedure (above), you may need to find out which four-digit code is operating your equipment.

For example, to find out which code is operating your TV:

1. On the remote control, press TV once.
2. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
3. Enter 9 9 0. The LED will blink twice.
4. To view the code for the first digit, press 1 once. Wait 3 seconds, count the LED blinks (e.g.., three blinks = 3) and write down the number. NOTE: If a code digit is 0, the LED will not blink.
5. Repeat step 4 three more times for remaining digits. Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit. Write down the code digits.
6. To check for codes of other devices, repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitute the appropriate device key for each device you are checking. Write down the device’s code digits.

Programming Master Power

In its default state, the POWER key on the remote control will individually power your home entertainment devices on or off. However, you can also program a Master Power function onto the POWER key that will sequentially turn on or off all the devices with a single key press.

Programming the Power Key for Master Power:

1. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
2. Enter 9 9 5. The LED will blink twice. Then press POWER once.
3. For the first device you want in the power on sequence, press its device key (e.g., CBL/SAT) once.
4. Repeat step 3 up to five more times to add desired devices to the power-on sequence.
5. To save the settings and exit the program, press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice, then release SET.

Clearing Master Power:

1. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
2. Enter 9 9 5. The LED will blink twice. Then press POWER once.
3. Press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice, then release SET. Master Power is now cleared.

Programming Keymover

The One For All 6-Device PVR Universal Remote Control includes a Keymover feature that allows you to map (or copy) keys from one mode (i.e., source mode) to another mode (i.e., destination mode).

For example, if your VCR does not have volume control, you can map those keys (i.e., VOL +, VOL -, and MUTE) from the TV mode to the VCR mode as follows:

NOTE: The following keys cannot be used as a source or destination: TV, PVR, DVD, CBL/SAT, AUD, VCR, and SET.

1. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
2. Enter 9 9 4. The LED will blink twice.
3. For the source mode, press TV once.
4. For the source key, press VOL + once.
5. For the destination mode, press VCR once.
6. For the destination key, press VOL + once.
7. The LED will blink twice, indicating the keymoved sequence is correct.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 twice more to map remaining volume control keys, substituting VOL - and MUTE as source and destination keys in steps 4 and 6.

Upon completion of the above procedure, you can now use your One For All 6-Device PVR Universal Remote Control to control the TV’s volume and MUTE in the VCR mode, as well as in the TV mode.

Restoring Keymoved Keys to Default Settings

Restoring a Single Keymoved Key:

1. Press a device key that has a keymoved key.
2. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
3. Enter 9 9 4. The LED will blink twice.
4. Press the destination key twice (where the keymoved key is stored). The LED will blink twice.

Restoring All Keymoved Keys in a Single Mode:

1. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
2. Enter 9 9 4. The LED will blink twice.
3. Press the destination mode twice (where keymoved keys are stored). The LED will blink twice.

Re-Assigning Device Keys

You can set the One For All 6-Device PVR Universal Remote Control to control a second TV, PVR/DVR, VCR, DVD player, or other device. For example, to control a TV, a cable box, and two VCRs, you will need to re-assign the unused DVD key to operate the second VCR as follows:

1. On the remote control, press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
2. Enter 9 9 2. The LED will blink twice.
3. Press VCR once, then press DVD once. The LED will blink twice.
4. The DVD key is now ready to be programmed for your second VCR. See "Programming Device Control" above.

To re-assign other device keys to the DVD key, repeat steps 1 through 4 with a sequence from the following chart:

To Re-Assign Device:	Perform Sequence:
DVD as 2nd TV key:	SET - 9 9 2 - TV
DVD as 2nd CBL/SAT key:	SET - 9 9 2 - CBL/SAT - DVD
DVD as 2nd PVR key:	SET - 9 9 2 - PVR - DVD
DVD as 2nd AUD key:	SET - 9 9 2 - AUD - DVD

NOTE: Only one device can be assigned to an unused device key at a time.

You can also re-assign another unused device key by substituting it for the DVD key above and performing the sequence. For example, to re-assign an unused AUD key as a second VCR key, perform SET - 9 - 9 - 2 -VCR - AUD. When you've completed the reassignment, the LED will blink twice to confirm your choice. At that time, you will need to program the remote control for the new device (see "Programming Device Control" above).
