Operating Peripheral Equipment

Programming the remote control code

Your HP remote control is programmable. You can program the remote control to operate other home entertainment devices such as your VCR, DVD player, audio receiver, or set-top box. Manufacturer codes for compatible brands are listed at the end of this chapter. If the brand of your device is not listed, see "Searching for the device code" on page 69.

Programming the device code

The following steps describe how to program a device button if your brand is listed.

1 Turn on the TV. Turn on the device you would like to program.

HP Pavilion PL4200N - Programming the device code - 1

Read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes and device you wish to program before performing step 2.

2 Hold down a device button on the remote control for 5 seconds until the device button blinks, and then release the device button. The device button blinks one more time and then remains lit.
3 Locate the brand of your device and manufacturer codes (see the listing that follows).
4 Enter the first four-digit code. If the code is accepted, the device button flashes twice. If the code is not accepted, the device button flashes three times.

If the device button did not blink twice, repeat steps 2 through 4, entering either the same code or the next code if provided.

5 Aim the remote control at the device, and press the Power button once. The device should turn off. If it does not respond, repeat steps 2 through 4, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try searching for the code; see "Searching for the device code" on page 69.

HP Pavilion PL4200N - Programming the device code - 3

If the device does not have a Power button, press Play.

6 Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each device you want to control with the remote control.

Searching for the device code

If your device does not respond to the remote control after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code.

1 Turn on your home entertainment device.
2 Hold down a device button on the remote control for 5 seconds until the device button blinks, and then release the device button. The device button blinks one more time and then remains lit.
3 Enter 1, 1, 1, 1, and the device button blinks once and then remains lit.

4 Press and release the Power button once on the remote control. Wait until the device button stops blinking. Continue to press and release the Power button, waiting each time for the device button to stop blinking, until the home entertainment device turns off.

5 Once the home entertainment device turns off, press the Select button on the remote control to save the code.

HP Pavilion PL4200N - Searching for the device code - 1
