Getting Started - Overview Battery Installation Press the tab and remove the cover of the battery compartment located in the back of your remote. Insert the two AAA batteries (included in the package) making sure to match the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols as shown in the diagram. Place the cover back over the battery compartment.
Using Component Buttons Once you have activated the remote for all three of your components, you can simply press a Component button at the top of the remote, and the buttons on the remote will work with that component. Each time you press a button on the remote, the Component button light will turn on, indicating which component you are controlling.
Three ways to get started There are three ways you can activate your new URC-SR3 universal remote control using its pre-programmed codes. 1. Quick Set-Up (page 9) 2. Three-Digit Code Set-up (page 10) 3.
1. Quick Set-up Set-up one component at a time, and you’ll move quickly through your system. Step 1: Turn on the component you want to activate. (Other components can be on or off, it doesn’t matter.) Step 2: Point your new URC-SR3 Remote Control toward the component and press the appropriately labeled Component button (TV for TV, DVD for DVD, etc.
2. Three-Digit Set-up STEP 1: Find the 3-digit code numbers for your component type and brand from the lists in the back of this manual. The codes are listed by component type (TV, DVD, etc.), then by brand name. Be sure to identify the list of codes for the correct component and brand. For instance, if you would have a Sony television, first locate the TV category, and then look for the Sony brand. Be careful. Codes for Sony DVDs may be different than from Sony TVs.
STEP 5: Check your work. Once you’ve entered the code number and the component has turned off, press the POWER [ON] button to turn the component back on. Next, test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons (or PLAY and STOP buttons for DVD) to make sure they all work. For example, perhaps your TV turned off with code number 147, but the volume controls did not work properly. In this case, try the next code number listed for that component. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until you find a perfect match. STEP 6: Save your work.
3. Auto-Search Set-up The Auto-Search Set-up scans through all of the codes in the table to find the right code for your component. Use this method for components you cannot set up with either the Quick Set-Up or 3-Digit Set-up. This step is not difficult, but tests your patience, as it takes about five minutes to work through the entire table. STEP 1: Turn on the component you want to activate. (Other components can be on or off, it doesn’t matter.
Continue pressing the up or down button, in approximately one second intervals, until the component turns off. (DO NOT alternate the up and down button. You want to move in only one direction.) STEP 4: Once the component has turned off, check your work. Press the POWER [ON] button to turn the component back on. Next, test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons (or PLAY and STOP buttons for DVD) to make sure they all work. If the buttons do not work properly, you need to find a new code.
Set-up using the Learning Method STEP 1: Line up the URC-SR3 to the remote control you want to “learn” from, head—to— head as shown below. Start with the two remotes’ infrared (IR) windows touching, or nearly touching. STEP 2: On the URC-SR3, press the Component button that you want to program and the ENTER [ENT] button at the same time. Hold down both buttons for two seconds until the Component button light turns on. This signals that you are in set-up mode.
STEP 5: You can continue learning all other buttons from your old remote by pressing the next button on the URC-SR3 and repeating this step. Note: The component light will blink five times if there was an error in the learning process. In this case, please repeat Steps 3and 4. STEP 6: Save your work. After the URC-SR3 has learned all the buttons for the selected component, press and hold the Component button and ENTER [ENT] buttons at the same time to save the learned functions.
If the Learning Method does not work, here are a few suggestions: • Infrared (IR) beams on all remotes are sensitive to light, and can be impacted several ways. Here are some things to look out for: – If you have a Plasma TV, move farther away from it or to another room while working with the remotes. – Avoid programming under fluorescent light or direct sunlight. Close your curtains during the day.

Want more? Activating Optional Advanced Features Now that you’ve got your components up and running, you can stop right here. Or if you are adventurous, you can set up optional advanced features including Automated Activity Macros and Punch Throughs. The URC-SR3 has six Automated Activity Macro buttons. Macros can be set up to automatically fire off a sequence of commands. Set it up, press the button, and Wwatch it happen just the way you wanted.
What to know before you start: • You can program up to 20 sequential commands on a Macro button. • You can program delays in between commands by pressing the [PAUSE] button on the transport control. – Each press adds a one-half second delay. – If you add the delay time as the first step of Macro commands, the remote will not send the Macro unless the button is held for two seconds. • You can set up program macro commands in layers by pressing the [STOP] button in between commands.
MacroPower for Total System On or Off MacroPower makes several devices work together while pressing just one button. If you want to turn on your TV, DVD player and Cable/Sat receiver by pressing a single button, you can. Both the Power On and the All Off buttons can be programmed for MacroPower control. Note: Most components use the same signal to turn the power on and off.
My Button Automatically turn on TV to your favorite channel. Always begin watching TV on thechannel you like best - you can preset thisbutton with a few simple steps. In cablemode, MY BUTTON will automatically turnthe TV to your favorite channel. To activatethis feature: STEP 1: Press the CBL button to select the Cable mode. STEP 2: Press the green My BUTTON and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time for 2 seconds until the CBL component light turns on.
My Favorites Button Setting up favorite Channels and/or Lists In Cable mode, the A, B, C, D buttons are also designed to serve as dedicated Favorite Channel buttons. Each button will access one of your favorite channels with just one button press.
Setting Up Optional Punch Throughs Punch Throughs are special commands that control components without having to press the Component buttons at the top of the remote. If you find yourself switching to a particular component mode frequently to access a particular control, (TV Volume up or down, for example) consider setting up a Punch Through.
SimpleSound™ Total System Volume Control Punch Through SimpleSound gives you total volume control over ALL the components in your system, even those that do not have built—in volume control, such as TIVO and DVD. It saves you the hassle of switching between component modes just to control volume. STEP 1: Identify which device in your system will be used to deliver sound. In a basic system, the sound may come from your TV speaker.
Channel Control Punch Through This punch through lets you set up the URCSR3 remote so that either the Cable or TV Channel Controls (CHANNEL UP, DOWN, LAST, CHANNEL NUMBERS 0-9, +10 and ENTER) will operate in other component modes on the remote control. STEP 1: Press and hold the component button you want to add channel control to, such as [DVD], and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time for two seconds until the Component light turns on. Release the buttons. COMPONENT BUTTONS SELECT CH 5] button.
Transport Control Punch Through This “punch through” enables you to set up your remote so that the DVD Transport Controls (PLAY, STOP, FF, REW, PAUSE, SKIP and RECORD) will also operate in other component modes on the remote control. STEP 1: Press and hold the component button you want to add Transport Control to, such as [CABLE/SAT] or [TV], and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time for two seconds until the Component LED light turns on. STEP 2: Press the [PLAY] button.
OSD (On-Screen Display) Control Punch Through This “Punch Through” enables you to program the URC-SR3 so that CBL/SAT or DVD/DVR OSD Controls (GUIDE, MENU, INFO, EXIT, My Button, Seland 4 Cursor Controls) will also operate in other component modes on the remote control.

STEP 2: Press the [MENU] button.
Erasing Commands - Overview If you have set up your macros and punch throughs, you should be able to put all your other controls away for safe keeping. However, you may find one pesky control you want to change or get rid of. The URC- SR3 allows you to erase commands easily. You can erase a single learned command, all learned commands in each omponent mode, SimpleSound programming, MacroPower commands, or re—set the remote to original factory default settings.
Erasing All Learned Commands from One Component This function allows you to erase all the learned commands from one component. For example, if you want to erase all learned commands on the TV component button because you bought a new TV, the process is very simple. STEP 1: Press the component button where all the learned commands are stored and the [ENTER] button at the same time for two seconds until the component light turns on.
Erasing MacroPower & Other Macro Commands STEP 1: To erase MacroPower commands on the POWER [ON] or [SYSTEM OFF] button, press and hold either the POWER [ON] or [SYSTEM OFF] button and the [MUTE] button simultaneously for two seconds until the current status Component light turns on. POWER ON ALL OFF SELECT 5 CH 5 STEP 2: Press the CHANNEL UP [CH ] button to erase and exit Erase mode. The component light will blink two times to confirm the erasure.
Erasing SimpleSound & Other Punch Through Commands STEP 1: Press and hold the Component button you want to erase volume control from, such as DVD and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time for two seconds until the Component light turns on. 5 STEP 2: Press the VOLUME UP [VOL ] button and the same Component button from Step 1. The component light will blink two times to confirm the erasure. Repeat Steps 1—2 to erase SimpleSound commands from other components.
Factory Reset You can reset your remote to the original factory default settings. Press and hold both the [CABLE/SAT] and RECORD [REC] buttons for about five seconds until the [CABLE/SAT] component LED light blinks five times. All programming and set-up codes that you have entered into the remote will be erased and the URC-SR3 will return to the original factory default settings. Warning This procedure will erase all programming and set-up codes that you have entered into the remote.
Finding a Component’s Set-up Code Number If you used the Auto-Search or Learning Methods to set up a component, you may not know the code number you programmed. Here is a way for you to identify what that code number is, so you can make a note in the back of this Manual for future reference. STEP 1: Press the component button you would like to verify and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time for two seconds until the selected Component light turns on.
Pre-Programmed Code Tables The URC-SR3 Pre-Programmed code library is classified by category (CBL/SAT, TV, DVS, etc.).
