Basic Programming for the ONEFORALL URC8820 or URC8820N Remote Control

SETTING UP YOUR COMPONENTS

The One For All 8L Universal Remote Control with Learning (URC8820B00) is preprogrammed at the factory to operate an Sony TV, DVD and VCR, a Motorola Cable Box, a Sony Tivo PVR/DVR, a Pioneer Receiver and CD, and a Sony Receiver (in the AUX Mode). To control devices other than the default brands, perform the following steps; otherwise skip this section.

NOTE: For Combo Device control, see the next section.

1. Turn on a device (e.g., TV, 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, CBL/SAT, VCR, DVD, CD, PVR, AUD or AUX). NOTE: Use the AUX key to program control of an audio device such as an AMP, HTIB (Home theater in a box), or a tuner. Alternately, use the AUX key to program control of a second device type (e.g., a second VCR; see “Re-assigning Device Keys” by clicking here).
3. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, then release SET.
4. Use the “Manufacturer’s Codes” in the Code List 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” in a section 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.

PROGRAMMING COMBO DEVICE CONTROL

You can set the One For All 8L Universal Remote Control with Learning (URC8820B00) to control your combo devices such as TV/VCR, TV/DVD, Satellite/PVR/DVR, Home-Theater-In-A-Box, and many others with a single code. For a complete list of combo devices, refer to the “Device Table” below.

NOTE: Some combo device types have codes that you can program on separate device keys. For example, you can program DVD Player/ VCR Combo codes under the VCR or DVD mode keys. See “Setup Codes for DVD/VCR Combos” in the Code List; note that there are two sections under this device type.

Perform the following instructions to control a TV/DVD Combo:

1. Turn on the TV/DVD Combo and insert a video cassette. 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 TV.
3. Press and hold SET until the LED (red light) blinks twice, and then release SET.
4. Use the Setup Codes under the TV/ DVD Combos heading (use codes listed as “TV Codes”) in the Code List. 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.
5. Aim the remote control at the device and press POWER once. It should turn off. If the device does not respond, 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.

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. Turn on your TV and 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. Select a test function from the list below or use the default test function (POWER) and skip step 4. NOTE: The keys that can be used for the test function are 0, 1, 2, 3, POWER, VOL +, Play, Stop and Mute.
5. Press CH+ to begin searching for your code. Stop the search when the device turns off or performs the function selected in step 4 (if other than POWER). 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. Every press of CH+ will send a new code. If you go past the code that performed the Test Function, you can go back by pressing CH-.
6. To lock in the code, press and release the SET key. The LED blinks twice.
7. To search for the codes of your other devices, repeat steps 1 through 6, but substitute the appropriate device key for the device you are searching for in step 1.

CHECKING THE CODES

If you have set up the remote control using the Searching For Your Code procedure, 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.
