Default Programming a remote

Thanks, Michael. What do you mean "power cycle"? You mean when the
set goes off or on? Should I be seeing something on the screen? How
will I know what the codes are?


Tonita,

The universal remote's code search function (usually) sends a 'power'
command to the set; this command will either power-on the set if it
is off or power-off the set if it is on. You need only watch to
see if it works (the set honors the command). When you find a code
or codes that work, make a note of them (usually a 3-digit number)
and try them using the programming procedure for the remote to see
how well they control the set. Pick the code that has the most
functionality with your set (it is often a compromise).

Regards,

Michael
