To add a device for which you do not have
a working remote control, you must identi-
fy the category and brand in the Setup
Wizard.

1 On the Home menu, select Device

Setup, and then press Add.

2 Under Select a device category to

add, select the category of device.

3 Under Select your <device> brand,

select the brand of device.

4 Follow the instructions on the Setup

Wizard screen.

Note Without a working remote control for your
device, Take Control works only with the brands of
products listed in the Setup Wizard.

If the device you wish to program is not
listed in the Setup Wizard, or if Take Con-
trol cannot match the IR code for your de-
vice, then Take Control can learn the appli-
cable IR code for any IR-controlled device
by using the device’s 
remote control.

To learn the IR code for your device:

1 On the Home menu, select Device

Setup, and then press Add.

2 Under Select a device category to

add, select the category of device.

3 Under Select your <device> brand,

select Unlisted Brand.

4 Follow the instructions on the Setup

Wizard screen to learn the IR code for
your device.

Note You can learn the IR code for your device
with Take Control or with it connected to your
computer. To use Take Control with your computer,
see “Setting up Take Control with a Computer,”
page 14.

When you buy a new device, replace a de-
vice with a new one, or want to 
remove a device, Take Control helps you to
easily maintain your configuration. 

To add a new device:

1 On the Home menu, select Device Setup.

2 Press Add, and then follow the 

instructions in the Setup Wizard.

Notes
• Some device categories are very similar. If your

device category isn’t listed, try a similar catego-
ry before creating a new category with the Take
Control software. For example, try the catego-
ries of “Aux Audio” or “Receiver/Tuner” when
looking for pre-amps.

• If your device category is not listed, such as TV,

VCR, etc., you can add the category by using
the Take Control software. See “Adding or 
Deleting a Device,” page 18.
