Solution

notes

I programmed the remote,but it wont work my TV,VCR,or Cable Box.

You may have entered the wrong code (or the correct code might not be listed). Try entering
all of the device manufacturers codes again, starting with the manufacturers popular code if
one is available.
If you are still unable to operate your device, follow the instructions in the section
titled CodeScan .
Weak batteries may cause the remote to only operate one device. If this happens, simply
replace them with NEW alkaline batteries and reprogram the remote. If you are sure the
batteries are good,try rolling them with your finger to ensure a good connection.

Problem

My remote control doesnt operate my combination TV/VCR.

Solution

Most combination TV/VCRs have VCR tuners in them. You will need to select a code
from the VCR section that will power up your TV/VCR. If this is the case, you probably
wont need to use a TV code. Also, to control volume with your remote control, you
must program the remote for the cable box last.

Problem

What determines which device operates volume control?

vcr codes
If your VCR is made by one of the manufacturers
listed to the right, try that code first.
Otherwise, find your code in the chart below.
