Programming the Digital Remote

Programming the Digital Remote

Before your Digital Remote can be used to operate your TV, VCR and other devices, it must be programmed with the correct models. The instructions, along with the codes for your models, will allow you to program your Digital Remote to control your TV and VCR. If your model has more than one code listed, it may be necessary to try a few codes before your Digital Remote properly controls your TV, VCR and other devices.

To program the Digital Remote for your TV model

1. Locate the TV's setup code in TV Model Setup Codes for the Digital Remote.
2. Turn your TV on.
3. On the Digital Remote, press and hold the TV button for at least 6 seconds. Wait for the programming mode to start. The light for each mode key (the four buttons across the top, just below the Motorola logo) will turn on and off in sequence, starting with AUX and continuing through TV. The sequence will repeat twice. Release the TV button. Wait until the TV button stays lit.
4. Enter the 4 digit code for your TV. If this is a valid code, the TV light will blink 3 times. If you enter an invalid code, the TV light will turn off. In that case, you will need to repeat step 3 using another code.
5. Aim the Digital Remote at your TV and press POWER once. The TV should turn off. If it doesn’t turn off, repeat steps 3-4, trying each code listed for your TV until you find the one that operates it. If your TV still doesn’t work with the Digital Remote, try searching for the proper code (See "Searching For The Code" below). Write down your TV code for future reference.

To program the Digital Remote for your VCR model

1. Locate the VCR's setup code in VCR Model Setup Codes for the Digital Remote.
2. Turn your VCR on.
3. On the Digital Remote, press and hold the VCR button for at least 6 seconds. Wait for the programming mode to start. The light for each mode key (the four buttons across the top, just below the Motorola logo) will turn on and off in sequence, starting with AUX and continuing through VCR. The sequence will repeat twice. Release the VCR button. Wait until the VCR button stays lit.
4. Enter the 4 digit code for your VCR. If this is a valid code, the VCR light will blink 3 times. If you enter an invalid code, the VCR light will turn off. In that case, you will need to repeat step 3 using another code.
5. Aim the Digital Remote at your VCR and press POWER once. The VCR should turn off. If it doesn’t turn off, repeat steps 3-4, trying each code listed for your VCR until you find the one that operates it. If your VCR still doesn’t work with the Digital Remote, try searching for the proper code (See "Searching For The Code" below). Write down your VCR code for future reference.

To program the Digital Remote for your CD Player, Stereo or other device

1. Locate the auxiliary device's setup code in Auxiliary Device Setup Codes for the Digital Remote.
2. Turn your CD Player, Stereo, or other auxiliary device on.
3. On the Digital Remote, press and hold AUX for at least 6 seconds. Wait for the programming mode to start. The light for each mode key (the four buttons across the top, just below the Motorola logo) will turn on and off in sequence, starting with AUX and continuing through TV. The sequence will repeat twice. During the sequence release the AUX key. Wait until the AUX button stays lit.
4. Enter the 4 digit code for your CD Player, Stereo or other device.
5. Press AUX, VCR, CABLE, or TV once to let the Digital Remote know what type of device you want to assign to the AUX mode.
6. Enter the 4 digit code for your AUX. If this is a valid code, the AUX light will blink 3 times. If you enter an invalid code, the AUX light will turn off. In that case, you will need to repeat steps 3-5 using another code.
7. Aim the Digital Remote at your component and press POWER once. The component should turn off. If it doesn’t turn off, repeat steps 3-6, trying each code listed for your component until you find the one that operates it. If your component still doesn’t work with the Digital Remote, try searching for the proper code (See "Searching For The Code" below). Write down your component code for future reference.

Scanning for and displaying the correct code

If the correct code for your TV, VCR or other device is not listed in the code table, you may find a working code by scanning through the Digital Remote code library. This allows you to try each and every code known to the Digital Remote without having to program them all manually.
