Using the keypad on your remote control, enter the number that's listed first for your device. When you've finished, enter the appropriate key to indicate you've completed your input. For some remotes, this might be the asterisk (*) while other remotes might use the pound key (#). The mode light on your remote control will flash again and, if your code was correct, you should be able to now control your device with the remote control. Test your results by turning the power on and off. Does it work? If so, you've just programmed your device.

If your code doesn't work the first time, don't panic. Most remotes come with several codes for the various device brands. If the first code doesn't work, start over using the next code and the next and the next until you get the right one.

What if your device isn't listed at all? Look through the list for "general" codes. If you can't find those, try scanning for your device. Your user manual should have specific advice for devices without a listed code.
