Programming a Cinemate Home Theater Universal Remote can be a complicated process. If not done correctly, it can cause your remote to not work at all or cause it to malfunction. Fortunately, it is possible to program the remote with relative ease, provided you have access to the correct instructions.
You will need to have the original remote control that came with your Cinemate Home Theater system as well as your universal remote. It is important to note that some universal remotes do not have the capability of programming a Cinemate Home Theater system. Once you have determined that your universal remote will work with your system, you can begin the programming process.
The first step in programming your Cinemate Home Theater Universal Remote is determining which type of code is necessary for the device you are trying to program. There are three different types of codes used by Cinemate Home Theatre systems; these include four-digit codes, five-digit codes, and direct-entry codes. The type of code used will depend on the model of your home theater system and whether it uses infrared or radio frequency technology.
Once you have determined which type of code is needed for your device, you can begin programming your universal remote by following these steps:
Step 1: Turn on both the universal and original remote controls.Step 2: Press and hold down both “Program” buttons simultaneously on both remotes until all buttons on both remotes light up.Step 3: Release both buttons and enter the code for your device using either a four-digit or five-digit code followed by the “Enter” button.Step 4: Test out the functions of your universal remote by pressing each button individually and verify that they are functioning correctly.Step 5: If you are using direct-entry coding, press and hold down both “Program” buttons until all buttons light up, then enter each individual function from both remotes one at a time followed by pressing “Enter” after each one has been entered.Step 6: Test out all functions of your universal remote again to ensure they are working properly.
Conclusion:
By following these steps carefully, you will be able to successfully program a Cinemate Home Theater Universal Remote with ease.
