remote.controls.available.today..With.the.
24958,.juggling.multiple.remote.controls.is.
a.thing.of.the.past!.Your.24958.controls.up.
to.6.devices,.including.the.most.popular.
brands.of.TV,.DVD,.DVR,.Cable,.etc..
.
In.addition,.this.remote.is.equipped.with.a.
command.learning.feature,.which.lets.the.
remote.learn.commands.from.your.original.
equipment.remote.control!
Note:.Some.functions.from.your.original.
remote.may.not.be.controlled.by.this.
remote..Use.the.original.remote,.if.
available,.to.control.such.functions..
Sometimes.buttons.other.than.described.
in.these.instructions.may.actually.perform.
the.function..For.example,.the.CHAN.and.
VOL.buttons.might.be.used.to.navigate.
through.menu.choices..We.recommend.
you.experiment.with.the.remote.to.
identify.if.such.situations.pertain.to.your.

Setup
Programming Combo Device Codes
Some.combo.(combination).devices.(TV/DVR,.TV/
DVD,.DVD/DVR,.etc.).require.you.to.set.up.2.dif-
ferent.modes.to.control.both.parts.of.the.combo..
For.example,.if.you.have.a.TV/DVD.combo,.you.
might.need.to.set.up.one.code.under.the.TV mode.
to.control.the.TV.and.a.separate.code.(under.other.
modes).to.control.the.DVD..
DVD/DVR Punch-Through Feature
This.remote.allows.the.6.DVD/VCR.transport.
buttons.(i.e..PLAY,.PAUSE,.STOP,.FF,.REWIND,.
and.REC).to.Punch-through.from.any.Mode.
programmed.with.TV,.SAT.or.Cable.codes.to.the.
last.DVD,.or.VCR.programmed.Mode.you.used,.
i.e.,.the.transport.keys.control.your.DVD.or.VCR.
player.even.when.you.are.in.TV,.SAT.or.Cable.
mode..If.you.use.a.SAT/DVR,.Cable/DVR,.etc.,.you.
may.want.to.disable.this.Punch-through.feature.
to.allow.the.transport.keys.to.control.your.DVR.
device..The.following.steps.will.disable.the.punch-
through.feature:.
1.. Press.and.hold.SETUP until.the.red.indicator.
stays.on,.then.release.the.SETUP button..
2.. Press.and.hold.PAUSE until.the.red.indicator.
turns.off,.then.release.the.PAUSE button..The.
PAUSE button.needs.held.for.about.3.seconds.
before.the.red.indicator.turns.off..
The.punch-through.feature.can.be.enabled.again.
by.repeating.the.above.steps.
Volume/Mute Control and Punch-
Through Feature
Your.remote.allows.you.to.select.which.device.
mode.controls.VOLUME.and.MUTE..This.remote.
is.initially.set.for.all.device.modes.to.use.their.own.
Volume/Mute.control.if.present..
If.the.programmed.code.does.not.have.Volume/
Mute.operation,.then.VOLUME.and.MUTE will.
“punch-through”.(hand-over).control.to.the.TV-
mode.device.without.you.needing.to.change.to TV.
mode..Note: Any.mode.chosen.for.Volume/Mute.
control.must have.its.own.Volume/Mute.function.or.
else.VOLUME and.MUTE will.not.function.

commands.
g. Place.the.original.remote.end-to-end.with.the.
Learning.Remote.so.the.IR.transmitters.on.both.
remotes.are.directly.in.line.with.each.other..You.
may.need.to.adjust.the.height.of.either.remote.
to.achieve.this..Use.the.IR.Transmitter.Finder.
feature.to.assist.you.
h. Keep.the.distance.between.the.two.remotes.
to.approximately.1.inch.and.do.not.move.or.
change.the.distance.between.the.two.remotes.
until.you.have.learned.all.the.required.buttons.
for.that.Mode.
i. When.Learning,.do.not.release.the.button.being.

for.half.a.second.
j. Avoid.learning.your.original.remote.Volume/

the.same.device.e.g..some.original.DVD.
remotes.include.TV.Volume/Mute.button.control.
and.can.be.two.different.types.of.code.
k. Avoid.learning.your.original.remote.DVD.

l. If.learning.the.first.or.second.buttons.for.a.
Mode.results.in.continuous.errors.then.try.the.
following:
i.....End.the.Learn.session.by.pressing.the.SETUP
button.
ii....Clear.out.the.learned.commands.for.that.Mode.
iii...Check.the.IR.transmitters.are.correctly.
aligned.between.the.two.remotes.(use.the.IR.
Transmitter.Finder.facility).
iv...Adjust.the.distance.between.the.two.remotes.
to.be.closer.(e.g..half.an.inch).or.a.further.away.
(e.g..2.inches).from.each.other.
v... Try.learning.the.original.remote.for.that.Mode.
again.
If.problems.reoccur.with.the.same.button.check.
the.original.remote.button.being.learned.–.does.it.

Tips On Learning (cont.)
The.learning.feature.lets.you.“learn”.functions.
from.your.original.remote.control..For.example.
-.you.may.want.to.use.your.remote.to.operate.
the.RANDOM.PLAY.feature.from.your.original.
CD.remote.control..This.remote.is.equipped.with.
an.“easy.learning”.feature.that.lets.you.“learn”.
features.(such.as.RANDOM.PLAY.from.your.
original.CD.remote).
Tips on Learning
You.can.only.learn.one.device.type.under.any.one.
Mode.button.e.g..only.learn.TV.codes.under.the.
TV Mode,.DVD.codes.under.the.DVD Mode,.etc..If.
you.are.trying.to.learn.from.a.“Universal”.remote,.it.
might.have.more.than.one.code.type.stored.under.
a.Mode..Try.learning.from.another.remote.to.see.if.
there’s.a.problem.with.the.type.or.brand.of.remote.
you.are.trying.to.learn.from..
a. Some functions from some types of remotes
might not be able to be learned.
b. No functions may be stored under LEARN,
SETUP, or BACKLIGHT buttons.
c. Only one original device type can be learned
per individual Mode.
d. Use.fresh.batteries.for.both.the.Learning.
Remote.and.the.Original.Remote.
e. Keep.at.least.three.feet.away.from.
incandescent.or.low-energy.lights.when.
learning.
f. Perform.a.Master.Clear.(see.page.16).before.
learning.and.try.learning.2.or.3.commands.
initially..Then.carry.out.a.Master.Clear.before.
completely.learning.your.original.remote’s.

IR Transmitter Finder
This.feature.assists.you.in.identifying.where.your.
original.remotes.IR.transmitter.is.located.and.
is.particularly.useful.if.your.original.remote’s.IR.
transmitter.is.hidden.behind.a.lens..
1...Point.both.remotes.facing.each.other.by.
approximately.1.inch.apart.(see.Tips.on.

red.indicator.will.remain.on.if.no.IR.from.the.
Original.remote.is.found.and.the.red.indicator.
will.blink.on.and.off.more.rapidly.when.the.IR.
transmitters.are.lining.up...The.point.where.the.
red.indicator.blinks.most.rapidly.is.where.the.
two.IR.transmitters.are.aligned...Note.some.
original.remotes.will.only.transmit.IR.on.the.
initial.button.press.then.stop...In.these.cases,.
quickly.press.and.release.the.original.remote.
button.repeatedly.during.this.procedure.

Troubleshooting
Remote does not operate your product
1.. Select.the.mode.for.the.product.you.want.to.
control.
2.. Program.the.remote.with.a.new.code.
3.. Install.new.batteries.in.the.remote..(You.might.
have.to.reprogram.your.remote.after.installing.
new.batteries.)
4.. If.these.steps.do.not.work,.the.remote.might.not.
be.compatible.with.your.product.
Remote does not operate some
features of your product
1.. Program.remote.with.a.new.code.
2.. If.this.does.not.work,.your.remote.might.not.be.
able.to.operate.all.features.of.your.product.or.
the.button.names.might.be.different.than.your.
product.
Indicator blinks after you program a
product code
1.. This.means.the.remote.did.not.accept.the.code.
2.. Try.to.program.the.code.again.or.try.a.different.
code.
Lost Your Codes?
Enclosed.with.this.remote.is.a.sticker.on.which.
you.should.write.the.codes.for.each.device.you.
