2. Aim the remote control at the device and press down and hold CODE SEARCH button for at least 3 seconds until the red LED lights up solid red.
3. Press the device button for the item you wish to program, e.g. TV, DVD, VCR, etc. and the LED light will blink once and then remain solid red.
4. Using the number keys, enter the 3-digit codes. You will notice that each number that you press, the LED will blink once. After you have entered the 3rd digit, the red LED will turn off indicating that the code was recognized for the device.
