How to Program a Cox Universal Remote for your TV

1. Turn your TV set on. Make sure that you have manually turned on the power to your television set and have your universal remote in hand to begin programming it.

2. Prepare the remote for programming. Press the "TV" button one time and then press the "Setup" button and hold it until the "TV" button flashes two times.

3. Manually program the remote control. Aiming your universal remote at your TV, press the channel up button repeatedly until your TV set turns off.

4. Save the settings. Once your TV has turned off press the "Setup" button again. The TV button will flash two times. This will let you know that the remote control has saved the programmed settings.

Tips & Warnings

• Give the channel up button a second for your TV to process the signal while programming it; sometimes it takes a moment for the signal to reach the TV's sensors.
• If you accidentally pressed the channel up button too many times past when it had turned the TV set off do not fret. Simply press the channel down button until your TV turns on again and save the settings by pressing the "Setup" button once.

on 6/12/2009 I have done this and successfully set up my TV and a DVD player. There is only one issue. When I use the remote in TV mode to change the input so I can run the DVD it will let me scroll through the input choices by clicking "input" multiple time to advance, but I can not select any of the choices. When I press the corresponding "enter" button, the cable mode button lights up and nothing happens. Pressing the Up, Down, or Select buttons do the same thing. Any help on this. Thanks
