Controlling Other Components

Code Select Mode

Follow these steps to control a device on the TV, CBL, RCV, and DVD keys:

(For this example, we’ll program the TV key)

1. Turn on the TV using the TV’s front panel.

2. Press the TV key on the MS300 remote.

3. Press and hold the CODE SET key until the LED blinks twice, then release.

4. Locate the Manufacturer’s Code for your brand of TV (see the end of this chapter)

5. Enter the first four-digit code for your TV using the numeric keys on the MS300

remote.

6. The LED on the remote should blink twice. If the LED did not blink twice, then

repeat steps 2 through 5.

7. Aim the Remote at the TV and press PWR key once. It should turn off. If it does

not respond, repeat steps 2-5, trying each code for your brand until you find one

that works.

Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each component you want the Remote to control on the TV,

CBL, RCV, and DVD keys.

Code Scan Mode

If your device does not respond to the Remote after trying all codes listed for your brand,

or if your brand is not listed at all, try scanning for your code.

Follow these steps to scan for a code for your TV:

1. On the Remote, press TV once.

2. Press and hold CODE SET until the LED blinks twice, then release CODE SET.

3. Enter 9 - 9 - 1. The LED will blink twice.

4. Aim the remote control at the TV and slowly alternate between pressing PWR and

TV. Stop when the TV turns off. NOTE: In the scan mode, the remote will send

IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular

code first.

5. When you find a working code, press CODE SET once to lock in the code.

To search for the codes of your other components, repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitute

the appropriate key (TV, CBL, RCV, DVD) for the component that you are searching for.

Code Check Mode

If you set up the remote using the Code Scan Mode, you may need to find out which

four-digit code is operating your equipment.

Follow these steps to find which code is operating your TV:

1. Press the TV key.
