Reset My Remote

While I was programming my remote/recorder I accidentaly pushed it to DVD1 when it was to be on DVD3 and now I can't use it with my recorder. How do I reset it so I can use it with my recorder?  Sony RDR-GX255 I have read the manual, but it doesn't say how to reset it that I can see. Please Help
