The following procedures describe how to program a Cox remote to a TV:
Cox remote programming is a simple process that should take you no more than five minutes to complete. This means that by programming the right remote, one can operate all the functions of a TV without having to deal with many remotes. These are the instructions on how to program a Cox remote with your television.
Things You'll Need
- Cox remote control
- TV
- Television remote control (optional)
The very obvious first step is the switching on of the television set.
First, switch on your TV and ensure that it is set on the correct input where you want the Cox remote to operate. This is usually HDMI 1, HDMI 2, and the like.
Step 2: Identify Your TV Code
Cox remotes contain a list of some of the most used codes for different brands of TVs. Read the manual that was provided with your remote and look for the list of TV codes. Try to find out the 4-digit code for that particular brand of your television. Common ones include:
- Sony: 0463, 0689
- Samsung: 0767, 1103
- LG: 0517, 0178
- Vizio: 0582
If your TV brand is not listed above, it will be necessary to try all the codes for this brand, but, maybe, you will find here the code which will work.
Step 3: Press the TV/Video button on the remote to enter the TV Setup Mode.
To program the remote, you first need to put it into TV setup mode:
1. To get to the home menu, press the TV button once. The display will turn off and the TV button will flash twice.
2. Dial 9-9-1 on the buttons of the telephone. The TV button will stay lit.
The remote is now ready to be programmed.
Step 4: Input Your TV Code
With the remote in setup mode:
1. Press the number buttons on the keypad to input your 4-digit TV brand code.
2. Then press Channel Up once.
The inclusion of a TV button will blink two times to indicate that the code entered has been recognized.
Attempt performing elementary tasks such as adjusting volume/switching channels. If your TV brand has several codes, you may need to try every one of them until the correct one is found for your model.
Step 5: Program Special Functions The special functions are mainly used in engineering, physics, and mathematics applications.
Step 6: Test the Program & Debug
After the basic operations like on/off of the TV, volume, and channels are mastered, then you can reprogram the other special buttons such as Input, Smart Hub, etc.
To do this:
1. The buttons on the remote that you want to program have to be pressed.
2. Press the corresponding button on your normal television remote until the Cox Remote button blinks twice. For instance, if you are programming Input, then all you have to do is keep pressing the Input button on your TV remote.
Do this for each function that you wish to create. This enables the Cox remote to mimic the other buttons on your native remote if you have one.
Troubleshooting Guide
If the basic functions like volume and power still do not work after trying several codes, try the following tips:
• Ensure that you are pointing the remote at the TV
• Ensure that both remotes have functional batteries and replace the batteries if they have been depleted.
• You might want to try to reconnect again in the TV setup mode and rekey your TV code.
• Try factory resetting the remote by holding the Setup button until the buttons flash and then redoing the whole process.
In addition to basic TV programming, you can also refer to a full remote manual that contains more instructions than just changing channels. If the above methods do not work, you should contact Cox support to help you with the remote. Although it may require some patience, nearly all TV brands and models on the market can be paired with the Cox remote.
Using Your Cox Remote
After this setup you can perform some basic functions of the TV without directly interacting with the TV such as turning it on or off, selecting channels, or volume adjustment using the Cox remote. The extra advantage is not having to deal with several remotes only for the basic operation of the devices.
The majority of the customers can easily code their Cox remote control without help from outside sources after reading these instructions. It may be a pain to set up initially if you invested the time to get it working with your specific television, but the convenience it brings in the long run is worth the trouble. Don’t wait for someone else to set up the Cox remote for you, and take advantage of easy and simple control of everyday entertainment.
