How to Program Your Universal Remote
Programming your universal remote for an Insignia Blu-ray player is simple with the right steps. Below are three methods: programming with codes, auto-search, and code search. Always check your remote’s manual for specific instructions, as some steps may vary slightly by brand.
Method 1: Programming with Codes
This method uses the codes listed above to program your remote manually.
- Turn on your Insignia Blu-ray player.
- Press and hold the “Setup” button on your universal remote until the indicator light turns on.
- Enter a 4-digit or 5-digit code from the lists above.
- Point the remote at your Blu-ray player and press the “Power” button. If the player turns off, the code is correct.
- If the code doesn’t work, repeat the process with another code from the list.
Method 2: Auto-Search Method
If you don’t have a code or the listed codes don’t work, the auto-search method scans for the correct code automatically.
- Turn on your Insignia Blu-ray player.
- Press and hold the device button (usually labeled “DVD” or “Blu-ray”) on your universal remote for about 3 seconds until the indicator light turns on.
- While holding the device button, press and release the “Power” button, then release the device button.
- Aim the remote at your Blu-ray player and slowly press the “Channel Up” or “Up Arrow” button until your Blu-ray player turns off.
- Once it turns off, press the device button again to save the code. The indicator light should blink twice to confirm.
Method 3: Code Search Method
Some universal remotes have a code search feature that cycles through codes until one works.
- Turn on your Insignia Blu-ray player.
- Press and hold the “Setup” button until the indicator light turns on.
- Enter “991” (or check your remote’s manual for the specific code search sequence).
- Aim the remote at your Blu-ray player and press the “Power” button. If it doesn’t turn off, press “Channel Up” and try again.
- Repeat until your Blu-ray player turns off, indicating the correct code has been found.
- Press the “Setup” button again to save the code.
Troubleshooting
If you’re having trouble programming your universal remote, try these tips:
- Check Power: Ensure your Blu-ray player is turned on and within range of the remote (usually 10-15 feet).
- Battery Check: Replace the batteries in your universal remote if they’re low.
- Clear Line of Sight: Remove any obstacles between the remote and the Blu-ray player.
- Code Accuracy: Double-check that you’ve entered the code correctly. A single wrong digit can prevent it from working.
- Try Multiple Codes: Some codes may work better for specific models. Test all codes from the lists above.
- Consult the Manual: Your universal remote’s manual may list additional codes or specific instructions for your brand.
- Contact Support: If none of the codes or methods work, reach out to the remote manufacturer or Insignia support for help.
