Start the search method over again to locate the proper code. If, on your original remote, you had to press a number key to turn on your device, you should do the same on the Topline 5. During any set-up procedure, except for Sequences and Timed Sequences, the ESC key will return you to the main screen with out saving. If you made a mistake when setting up a Sequence, erase the incorrect sequence by re-saving a new Sequence under the same key. If you made a mistake when entering a Timed Sequence, return to the Timed Sequence menu and delete the incorrect sequence. Enter the programme number exactly as you would on your original remote. As a safety feature on your ONE FOR ALL, you must press the Record key twice. Make sure your original remote had a programme +/- key. Some audio components may need both a Tuner code and an Amplifier code to control all the features of your audio component, 5

CUSTOMER SERVICE KEY MAGIC Key Magic is an exclusive ONE FOR ALL feature. The design of the ONE FOR ALL ensures that many functions of your original remote control can be operated - even those that do not have their own key on the ONE FOR ALL keyboard. Often used functions can be assigned to a key of your choice using the Key Magic feature of your ONE FOR ALL. In order to program a certain function with KEY MAGIC you need to know the corresponding code. As the function codes vary with different types of devices, they cannot be found in the manual. You can request your codes through our consumer service help-line or by letter, fax or e-mail. All we need to know is the 3-digit set-up code your device is working with and how the function was labeled on your original remote control. Once, you obtain your function code from customer service, programming the code is easy: TV VCR SAT CD AUX MAGIC Press the device key (TV, VCR, etc.). Press and hold the MAGIC key until the display reads [TIMED SEQ]. MENUx Press times. Press. 4 5 6 7 3 MAGIC x4 Press the key 4 times. Press. The display will read [FROM]. Press MAGIC once then enter the function code (provided by customer service). The display will read [TO]. Press the key you want this function programmed on.
