Lost your manual? Can't figure out how to change the settings on your universal remote control? You've come to the right place! We've got several
sections on Remote Central that can help you figure out how to program your remote.
Please note that Remote Central does not sell any remotes; we are an online publication dedicated to remote controls.
Our Programming Guides
|
First is our collection of in-house programming guides. These are instructions for certain popular remote control models that we've written
ourselves - you should find them easier to understand and more direct than the original manuals.

True or False?
False. Each remote control manufacturer uses a different system for storing preprogrammed codes, and as a result their remotes will have completely unique code numbers compared to all others. Even within the same brand, what may work for one model may not work on the next due to database updates.
Now there may be some database similarities between certain brands of remotes, as one manufacturer may produce remotes for several third-party brands, or license their database for use to other companies.
False. Preprogrammed databases contain finite, specific instructions for devices that existed up to the point that the remote was first produced. If a manufacturer releases new equipment that uses previously unknown IR instructions, you can’t just enter a new code number in your preprogrammed-only remote and have it work.
Note that learning remotes can be taught nearly any infrared command as long as you have the original remote to teach from, and a few brands also offer methods of upgrading their code databases.
True. Due to the growing number of OEM and “house” brands, if your specific brand is not listed there may still be a functional code somewhere in your remote. Most remotes offer a code search function for this reason, which will step through the entire built-in database and help you locate a potential match.
