Get the code appropriate for your device brand from the above table, and then follow the exact steps below
- Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the RED indicator stays ON, and release the button

After completing the pairing process, kindly verify the functionality of all the keys with your device.
Many people asking me Via the Contact Us page that they can’t set up the remote with the code provided in the user manual. If you feel that none of the codes are working, you can simply follow the auto-code search method to program your Jumbo universal remote.
Auto-code search method
Turn ON your device whether it is a TV, DVD whatever you want to set it with the remote.
Next, press and hold down the CODE SEARCH key until the LED indicator stays ON. Then release the key.
Then point your Jumbo remote to the device, and REPEATEDLY press and release the POWER button until your device is turned OFF. It’s suggested to give 1 – 2 seconds time intervals between each pressing.
If there is no response, repeatedly press the CHANNEL UP button until the device responds like controlling channels.
Once you notice the significant response, press and release the MUTE button to register the code.
In the testing phase, test all the keys like CH+, CH-, Vol+, Vol-, etc on the remote whether all are working properly with the device.
How to tell the Jumbo universal remote which component you wish to control?
Whenever you program your Jumbo remote to multiple devices like TV, DVD, SAT, etc, you have to tell the remote which component you need to control.
For this, example, if you want to control your TV, press the TV button on the remote to make it TV mode. The remote will be in TV mode as long as you change it to another mode like DVD, CBL, etc.
