SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODEIf your TV,VCR, Cable Converter or Audio Componentdoes not respond to the Millennium 4 after trying all ofthe codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is notlisted at all, try searching for your code.

For example, to search for a code for your TV:

1. Turn on your TV.



4. Aim the remote control at the the TV and slow-ly alternate between pressing POWER and TV.Stop when the TV turns off.

NOTE: In the search mode, the Millennium 4 willsend IR codes from its library to the selected compo-nent, starting with the most popular code first.

5. Press SETUP once to lock in the code.

6. To search for the codes of your other compo-nents, repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitutethe appropriate key (i.e., VCR, CBL, or AUDIO)for the (VCR, Cable, or Audio) component youare searching for.

26


CHECKING THE CODES If you have set up the Millennium 4 using the SearchingFor Your Code procedure, you may need to find out whichfour-digit code is operating your equipment:

1. Turn on your TV.



4. To view the code for the first digit, press 1 once.Wait 3 seconds and count the number of LEDblinks (e.g., 3 blinks = 3) and write down thenumber in the leftmost TV Code box below.

NOTE: If a code digit is “0”, the LED will not blink.

5. Repeat step 4 three more times for remainingdigits. Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the thirddigit, and 4 for the fourth digit. Finish writing down the code in the TV Code boxes below.

6. To check for the codes of your other compo-nents, repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitutethe appropriate key (i.e., VCR, CBL, or AUDIO)for the (VCR, Cable, or Audio) component youare checking.Write down the codes in theappropriate boxes below.

TV Code

VCR Code

CABLE Code

AUDIO ___________________ Code

3. Press POWER once.

4. Enter the following sequence*:

a. Press CBL once, then POWER once.

b. Press TV once, then POWER once.

c. Press VCR once, then POWER once.

d. Press AUDIO once, then POWER once.

3. Press VCR once, then press AUDIO once.

4. The AUDIO key is now ready to be programmedfor your second VCR. See Programming VCRControl on page 12.

To re-assign other device keys, repeat steps 1 through 4 bysubstituting the key sequence from the following chart fora desired component:

To Re-Assign Perform Key Sequence

TV as 2nd VCR key: SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - VCR - TV

TV as 2nd Audio key: SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - AUDIO - TV

TV as 2nd Cable key: SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - CBL - TV

TROUBLESHOOTINGPROBLEM: LED does not blink when you press a key.

SOLUTION: Replace the batteries with two (2) new AA alkaline batteries (see page 7).

PROBLEM: LED blinks when you press a key, but homeentertainment component does not respond.

SOLUTION: Make sure you are aiming the Millennium 4 atyour home entertainment component and thatyou are within 15 feet of the component you aretrying to control.

PROBLEM: The Millennium 4 does not control home enter-tainment components or commands are not per-forming properly.

SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the component brandbeing set up. Make sure all components can beoperated with an infrared remote control.

PROBLEM: TV/VCR combo does not respond properly.

SOLUTION: Use the VCR codes for your brand. Some combo units may require both a TV code and a VCRcode for full operation (see page 16).

PROBLEM: No volume on a second TV.

SOLUTION: Follow instructions in Changing Volume Lock(see page 31).

PROBLEM: CH+ , CH – , and LAST do not work for your RCA TV.

SOLUTION: Due to RCA design (1983-1987), only the originalremote control will operate these functions.

PROBLEM: Changing channels does not work properly.

SOLUTION: If original remote control required pressingENTER to change channels, press ENTER on the Millennium 4 after entering a channel number.

PROBLEM: Tried “Search Method” and still could not find aworking code.

SOLUTION: Try the “Search Method” again after clearing outthe device key as follows: Press and hold ENTERuntil red light blinks twice, then release. Nextenter 9 - 9 - 2. Then press and release the devicekey to be cleared twice.

PROBLEM: Remote control does not turn on Sony or SharpTV/VCR Combo.

SOLUTION: For power on, these products require program-ming TV codes on the Millenium 4. For Sony, useTV code 0000 and VCR code 0032. For Sharp, useTV code 0093 and VCR code 0048.
