If your soundbar or audio device is not one of the brands listed, you can also set up the remote to control it by entering a four-digit code. Locate the brand of your soundbar or audio device in the Remote Codes List found in the separate document.

  1. Hold down volume + and – buttons together until the LED blinks twice.
  2. Enter the first four-digit code for your soundbar or audio device. The LED should blink twice on the last digit.
  3. Test volume + and – buttons and the (mute) button.

Note: If the volume buttons don’t work, start again at step 1 using the next code on the list.

Turning on all devices
If you have set up your soundbar or audio device using Simple Setup or Audio Code Setup, you can now turn your TV and the audio device both on and off using a single button. Hold down the power button for three seconds. Your new remote turns on both the TV and the audio device or soundbar. If you press and release the button, it only turns on the TV.

  5. On the original remote, press the button with the function you want to teach to the button you pressed in Step 4.
    If the LED button blinks twice on your new remote, your new remote learned the function.
    Notes:

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add another function to your new remote.
    Note: You can learn from multiple remotes, but only one function per button.

  7. After you teach your new remote all the functions you want it to learn, press and hold ENTER until the LED blinks twice.
    Note: If you find one or more buttons don’t work as you expect, start again at step 1.

Note:
If you find the sequence doesn’t work as expected, you can repeat the same sequence to reprogram.
