Alternative Accenda Setup


Auto Search

Accenda offers several alternative set up methods. If your brand does not appear in the list of manufacturers, or you cannot locate a code that works using the "Search by Manufacturer," you may have Accenda search through its entire database of automatically codes using "Auto Search."

It may take from 7 to 18 minutes for the Accenda to locate the correct code, depending on the type of device.

When searching for a code using Auto Search you first select the appropriate device type.

The [TV] device button will search through TVs and TV/VCR combos.

The [VCR] and [DVD] device button will search through VCRs, TV/VCR combos and DVD players.

The [CBL/SAT] device button will search through cable boxes and DSS receivers.

The [AUX] device button will search through all codes.

  1. Manually turn on the device that you want to auto search (TV, VCR, etc)
  2. Press the device key for the device type for which you are searching. For example, to search for a TV code, press TV once (1 Flash).
  3. Press the [PROG] button once (2 Flashes).
  4. Make sure that the remote is aimed directly at the device you want to control.
  5. Press the [SRCH] (Search) button (1 Flash).
  6. Accenda will now search through the library for the target device code in 3-second intervals. Every 3 seconds the remote will prompt you by flashing the light, and the remote will test the new code by attempting to turn the device power off. If sound is enabled, Accenda will state the code being tested. Codes are searched in sequence of popularity to reduce search time.
  7. When the target device turns off, immediately press [PROG] to save the device code in memory. (3 flashes)
After you have pressed [PROG], check the other buttons (such as CH+ and VOL+) to be sure they all work with the target device. If they do not, repeat steps 1 through 7. When the auto search is re-started the search for the target device will begin where it was last stopped.

To stop the "Auto Search" without saving the currently tested code, press any key except [PROG], or a source button such as [TV], [VCR] etc.

Helpful Hint: When you press TV, VCR etc., in step 2 above, the Accenda remote control will just search the codes for that particular device. If you press AUX, Accenda will search through all the codes in the database. If you have two different model TVs etc., and wish to save the code for the 2nd TV as AUX, press [TV] in step 2, and [AUX] instead of [PROG] in step 6 above. This will store the 2nd code in the “Aux” button, but only search through the TV codes. This will greatly reduce the time the Accenda will require to search for the proper code.
