URC A6
Three-Digit Code Set-Up Method
STEP 1: Find the 3-digit code numbers assigned to your brand from the lists. The codes are listed by component category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), then by brand name. For instance, if you would like to locate a code for a Sony television, first locate the TV category and then look for the Sony brand.
STEP 2: Once you have located the 3-digit codes for each of the components that you wish to operate with your URC-A6, write them ALL down on a piece of paper. It’s important that you write down all the codes listed for your brand because only one code is going to work with your component.
STEP 3: Manually or using your old remote, turn on the component you want to program—for example, to program your TV turn on your TV set.
STEP 4: On the URC-A6, press the Component button that you want to program (in this case the button that says TV) and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time. Hold down both buttons for 2 seconds until the TV Component LED light turns on. This signals that you are in programming mode.
IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in programming mode. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds,the component LED light will turn off. The remote will exit the programming mode and you will have to start over.

IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in programming mode. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds,the component LED light will turn off. The remote will exit the programming mode and you will have to start over.
STEP 5: Point the URC-A6 toward the component (in this example the TV)
and punch in the first 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. The TV LED light
will blink each time a number is pressed.
If the 3-digit code number you just punched
in is the correct number, the component you are trying to program will turn off.
If it did not turn off, enter the next code number from your list until it does
turn off.
STEP 6: Once you’ve entered the code number and the component has turned off, press the POWER button on the URC-A6 remote to turn the component back on.
Next test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons (or PLAY and STOP buttons for DVD and DVR) to make sure they all work. For example, perhaps your Sony TV turned off with code number 147, but the volume controls did not work properly. In this case, try the next code number listed for that component. Repeat Step 5 using the next code number until you find a perfect match.
STEP 7: Once you’ve entered a correct code you must save it. Press the component button you just programmed (in this case TV) one more time to save the code number. The component LED light will blink three times to confirm that the code was successfully stored. Now when you press the TV component button, all of the buttons will work with your TV.
Program the remaining components by repeating steps 3 through 7.
Auto-Search Method
The Auto-Search Method is a way you can scan through all of the codes in the table to find the right code for your component.
STEP 1: Manually or using your old remote, turn on the component you want to program—for example, to program your TV, turn on your TV set.
STEP 2: On the URC-A6, press the Component button that you want to program (in this case the button that says TV) and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time. Hold down both buttons for 2 seconds until the TV Component button light turns on. This signals that you are in programming mode.
IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in programming mode. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds, the component LED light will turn off. The remote will exit the programming mode and you will have to start over.
STEP 6: Once you’ve entered the code number and the component has turned off, press the POWER button on the URC-A6 remote to turn the component back on.

For example, perhaps your Sony TV turned off with code number 147, but the volume controls did not work properly. In this case, try the next code number listed for that component. Repeat Step 5 using the next code number until you find a perfect match.

IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in programming mode. If you do not press a button within 30 seconds, the component LED light will turn off. The remote will exit the programming mode and you will have to start over.
STEP 3: Point the URC-A6 remote control toward the component and press
the UP arrow (or DOWN arrow) button once. Each time the UP or DOWN arrow button
is pressed, the code will count up (or down) one code number and send a Power
OFF signal. When the correct code is sent out, the component will turn off.
STEP 4: Once you have found the right code number and the component has
turned off, press the POWER button on the URC-A6 remote to turn the component
back on.
Next test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons (or PLAY and STOP buttons for DVD and DVR) to make sure they all work. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you need to find a new code. Continue pressing the UP (or DOWN) arrow button until you find a new code that turns off the component and makes the VOLUME or PLAY buttons respond correctly.
STEP 5: Once you have found the right code, you must save it. Press the component button you just programmed (in this case TV) one more time to save the code number. The component LED light will blink three times to confirm that the code was successfully stored. Now when you press the TV component button, all of the buttons will work with your TV.
