Xbox 360 Univeral Media Remote

Insert Batteries

Turn on your TV and point the remote toward it.

  1. Remove the remote battery cover.
  2. Insert two new AA (LR6) batteries as shown on the underside of the remote battery cover. For best performance, AA rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
  3. Replace the remote battery cover.

Program the Universal Media Remote for Your TV

Before your remote can work with your TV, you need to program it for use with your particular brand of TV. Two methods exist for programming your remote: manually entering your TV code or scanning to find your TV code.

Note

After 30 seconds of inactivity, the remote will exit the TV programming mode. Pressing any button besides 0–9 or CH/PG returns the remote to its original settings.

To enter a TV code:

  1. Turn on your TV and point the remote toward it.
  2. Press and hold the TV and OK buttons simultaneously for two seconds. All of the buttons on the remote will then light up for two seconds, after which only the numeric TV buttons (1–12) will remain lit.
  3. Enter the code for your TV.
  4. Press the CH/PG button to send a series of off commands to your TV. Repeat until the TV turns off.

To scan for a TV code:

  1. Turn on your TV and point the remote toward it.
  2. Press and hold the TV and OK buttons simultaneously for two seconds. All of the buttons on the remote will then light for two seconds, after which only the numeric TV buttons (1–12) will remain lit.
  3. Press the CH/PG button to send a series of off commands to your TV. Repeat until the TV turns off.
    Note

    Give your TV enough time to respond to the off command after each button press. Some TVs take more time to react to off commands than others.

  4. Press the TV button to save the code and exit. All buttons on the remote will blink three times to confirm the code.
Note

If, after setting the TV code, you find that the remote is not functional or has incomplete or inaccurate functionality, try a different code for your TV manufacturer or scan for another code. To scan for another code after the TV turns off in step 3, turn on the TV then continue to press CH/PG for other codes prior to proceeding to step 4.

The Universal Media Remote works only with TVs and the Xbox 360 console. It does not control VCRs, DVRs, DVD players, or audio equipment.
