Cox cable remote programming can be easily believed to be complicated but it is very easy to program and use to control your TV and other equipment. When you press one of these buttons, your Cox remote can be programmed to turn on your TV, change the volume, switch channels, and much more. This is a comprehensive guide on how to program a Cox cable remote by following simple procedures at go.
Step 1 – Insert Batteries
The first step I would recommend is checking the batteries in the Cox remote that you are going to use. Look for a slot on the rear part of the remote and insert the 2 AA batteries with the correct polarities (+/-). Ensure that the batteries fit tightly in the compartment after you have placed them correctly. Walk away from the television and press some buttons on the remote to see if the batteries are properly inserted.
Step 2 - Power on the Device You Want to Control
When programming the remote, ensure that the device you wish to operate (including television, DVD player, stereo, etc.) is on and in the right mode. For example, if programming for a TV, turn your TV on and switch to the input that your cable box is plugged into (HDMI 1, Video, etc.). If your device has an on-screen menu, call it up now.
Step 3 – Find the Cable Button
To manage the cable box there will be a button to switch between the two modes of the application. Some of the labels that you may find on this button are “Cable”, “CBL”, or a picture of a satellite dish. This button must be pressed and released before programming the remote.
Step 4 – How to Locate the Code for Your Device Brand
On the back of your Cox remote, there should be a multi-digit code next to your device brand. These are usually popular brands such as Samsung, LG, Sony, and many others. If your exact brand is not displayed, attempt to use codes of similar brands and see the results. Here is what you should write down to input the subsequent steps:
Step 5 – Program the Remote
With your device on, the cable mode is selected meaning you are set to program. Make sure that you are pointing the remote directly at the desired appliance or piece of equipment.
While holding the Setup button (the button can be marked as System Setup/Control, depending on the model)
Press the Setup key, and then input the device code in step 4 using the numeric buttons.
Last of all, take your finger off the Setup button and press the Power button to lock the entered code.
The device you are programming should now shut down. Press Power once again and you will see the icon lights up again and this means that the remote is functioning and programmed.
Note: If your device does not respond after entering the code, repeat the process starting from steps 5 and 6 using different codes from brands that are compatible with your device.
The next step is done synchronously and involves syncing of volume and channel controls.
Although basic on/off control is present now, the volume, channel, and other buttons need to be programmed into the device.
To do this, press and HOLD the Setup button again until the chosen device turns off. While Setup is still highlighted, press Rewind/Fast Forward on your remote control. Finally, release Setup. The device will switch back on – the sync is done.
Step 7 – Special Inputs Customization
If your device and remote have something like Audio, Smart Features, HDMI Control, HDP, etc., follow the above steps pointing at these specific device buttons when programming. Please refer to the user’s manual of the device for more information.
Step 8 - Repeat the above setup for other devices
If you want to pair the same Cox remote to other components including DVD players, game consoles, and others, repeat steps 2-6 focusing on each piece of equipment. Make sure to push Cable mode between programming each new component to not get the codes intertwined.
Once this, you should have a fully functional remote to power on/off, change channels, and control the menu, and volume on compatible TVs, audio systems, and streaming devices. Batteries should also be checked and re-programmed monthly if you ever get new remote controls or connected equipment. Cox remote programming, as outlined in this easy programming guide, will enable you to point your Cox remote to control important equipment within several minutes.
