Programming Your Cable Converter

Your remote control is pre-programmed to operate the Scientific Atlanta and Motorola Digital / DVR set-top terminals. Therefore, no further programming of your Cable device is necessary.

 

Three-Digit Code Programming Method

RTU60C.jpg
  1. Turn on the equipment you wish to program. (TV, VCR, or AUX)
     
  2. Press [SEL], then [MUTE] together - hold both buttons down until the mode (power) buttons start blinking in sequence:

  3. From the TV Setup Code list below, locate and enter the 3-digit code for your brand. If multiple codes are listed, you may have to enter several 3-digit codes until your TV turns off
     

    TV   -- >

    VCR  -- >

    DVD (VCR key)  -- >

    For TV/VCR combos, program the TV code first, then the VCR code

    For TV/DVD combos, program the TV code first, then the DVD code

    CD Player (AUDIO key)  -- >

    Receiver/Amplifier (AUDIO  key)  -- >


    If you cannot find your code, you can use Point and Press ® Programming

     

  4. Press [MUTE]. If your TV turns back on, press [SEL] to lock in the code. The mode (power) buttons will blink 3 times and go out.
    If your TV does not turn back on, repeat steps 3 and 4 until you can turn your TV off and on
     

Please Note: 

  • Try all the functions on the remote control. If any of the functions do not work as they should, repeat from Step 2 using the next three-digit code number from the same brand list
 

Point and Press Programming

RTU60C.jpg This method allows you to program the remote control without using codes

 

Please note:

  • The order in which you program your devices IS NOT important
     
  • While the remote is searching for the correct setup code, other devices that you are NOT currently programming may turn on/off. This is nothing to be concerned about. Simply continue pressing [CH +] until you find the correct code for the device you are programming. Your other devices will not be affected
 
  1. Turn on your Device
  2. Press [SEL], then [MUTE] together - hold both buttons down until the lighted mode (power) buttons start blinking in sequence:

    RC-U62CD_top.gif
  3. Press and hold the [CH+] button until the TV turns off

    Every time the mode (power) buttons light in a sequence (see animation below), the remote is trying a different code. It may take seconds or several minutes for the remote to find the proper code for your device. Please be patient, and be ready to release the [CH +] button when the device turns off:

  4. As soon as the device turns off, release [CH +]
     
  5. If your TV does not run back on, try pressing [CH -] one step at a time until that device turns back on. Each time you press the [CH -] button, the power/mode buttons will start blinking in reverse sequence:

  6. Once you have found the proper code, press [SEL] to lock in the code
