Universalremotesmustbeprogrammedwithacode(usually3-or4-digits)in
ordertoworkwithaspecicdevice(i.e.receiver).Themanufactureroftheuni-
versal remote chooses this code, not the manufacturer of the receiver. As your
receiver was manufactured recently, some universal remotes might not control
it, even if the manufacturer of the universal remote provides you with Metronic
codes. If none of the Metronic codes work, try an automatic search. If this fails,
the codes of your receiver have probably not been entered into your universal
remote.PleasebeawarethatMetronicwillnotbeabletohelpwiththecodesfor
