Setting Up Your GAMER There are three ways you can program your remote to work with your A/V Components: • The Pre-Programmed Code Method (page 8) • The Auto-Search Method (page 12) • The Learning Method (page 14) The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to set up all the buttons at once, so it’s the fastest and easiest of the three methods. The Auto-Search Method scans through all the codes in the remote control, one at a time. The Learning Method allows you to transfer functions from your ol

STEP 2: Once you have located the 3-digit codes for each of the components that you want to operate from your GAMER, write them ALL down on a piece of paper. It’s important that you write down all the codes because only one code is going to work for you. STEP 3: Now, turn on the component you want to program using your old remote… let’s say your TV to start. Look up your TV’s manufacturer set-up code from your hand-written list. STEP 4: Press down on the component button, in this case the butt

IMPORTANT: You now have 20 seconds to perform the next step while you are in set-up mode. If you don’t press a button within 20 seconds, the LED light will turn off and exit the setup mode and you will need to start over. STEP 5: Point the remote toward the component, in this example the TV, and punch in the 3-digit-code that you wrote down for that specific component. Use the Number buttons 0-9 on the remote to punch in the code. If the 3-digit code number you just punched in is the correct num

STEP 6: After you’ve entered the code number and the component has turned off, press the POWER button on your remote to turn the component back on. Now it’s time to test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons (or PLAY and STOP buttons for VCR and DVD) to make sure they all work. For example, maybe your Sony TV turned off with code number 147, but the volume controls did not work properly. If this is the case, repeat STEP 5 using the next code number until you find a perfect match. STEP 7: Once you have

SECTION 2: Auto-Search Method The Auto-Search Method is a way you can scan through all the codes in the table to find the right code for your component. STEP 1: Using your old remote, turn on the component you want to program with the GAMER... let’s say your TV. STEP 2: Now, press down on the component button, in this case the button that says TV, and the SELECT (SEL) button at the same time. Hold them both down for 3 seconds until the TV component button LED light turns on. IMPORTANT: If you

STEP 4: Press the ON button on the GAMER to turn the component back on. Now you can test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons (or PLAY and STOP buttons for VCR and DVD) to make sure they all work. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you need to find a new code. So, continue pressing the Up Arrow button until you find a code that turn off the component and makes the VOLUME or PLAY buttons work. STEP 5: Once you have found the right code, you must save it by pressing the component button (in th

SECTION 3: The Learning Method This method allows you to ‘teach’ your GAMER the commands from your old remote. STEP 1: Line up the GAMER to your old remote head-to-head as you see here. Make sure the heads are one to two inches apart. STEP 2: On the GAMER remote, press down on both the component button you wish to teach (such as TV, VCR,etc.) and the ENTER (ENT) button at the same time for 3 seconds until the component LED light turns on. 14

IMPORTANT: If you don’t press a button within 20 seconds, the LED light will turn off and exit the set-up mode and you will need to start over. STEP 3: Press any button on the GAMER that you want to teach a command to. For example, if you want to teach the MUTE button on the GAMER from your old TV remote, press the MUTE button on the GAMER. The TV component button LED light will blink once indicating that the GAMER is ready to learn the command. STEP 4: Press and hold the MUTE button on you

STEP 5: Once you have completed teaching the GAMER all the buttons, press and hold the component button and ENTER (ENT) buttons together to save the learned functions. The LED light will blink three times to confirm the programming. Now test all the learned buttons to make sure they learned correctly. If necessary, please repeat Step 2 to program the next component. 16

If the Learning Method does not work, here are a few suggestions: • If you have a Plasma TV, move to another room • Avoid programming under fluorescent light or direct sunlight • Put new batteries in your old remote • Gradually vary the distance between the two remote controls. • Tap the button on your old remote instead of pressing and holding it during the learning process. See the following notes regarding the Learning process: • Learned functions override any existing pre-programmed func

SECTION 4: SimpleSound™ Volume Control SimpleSound gives you total volume control over ALL the compo- nents in your system, even those that do not have built-in volume control, such as TIVO, DVD and VCR. SimpleSound saves you the hassle and inconvenience of constantly switching between component modes just to control volume. In a basic system, the sound may come from your TV. In a more advanced system, the sound may come from your audio component such as a Surround Sound Receiver or Home Theatr
