1. Press and hold down the magic button until the LED blinks twice.
2. Key in 994
3. Press the button you want to copy
4. Press the button you want to change

This also works if you want to change a button so it does another button on a different system.  e.g. You can redefine the Play button on the TV mode to play the video recorder on the VCR mode.  To do this, press and hold the magic button until the LED blinks twice, key in 994, press VCR, press the Play button, press TV and press the Play button.  Now if you press the Play button on the TV mode, it will start the video recorder.

Note:  You can only redefine a key so it does what the other key originally done. e.g.  If you redefine the 2 key so it presses 3 and redefine the 1 key so it presses 2 then pressing the 1 key will act if you pressed the 2 key and pressing the 2 key will act if you pressed the 3 key.  i.e. You can't chain keys.  You cannot redefine the VCR, TV, SAT, AUX, MAGIC and S keys.

To find a button that was on the TV, VCR or Satellite remote:

1. If you are setting up the VCR, be sure to put a blank Tape in as the VCR may start recording when doing these steps.
2. Using the original remote, put the TV, VCR or Satellite in a way so when you press that button that is not on the Universal remote, you will know what is to happen.  e.g. Put the TV on Teletext on a quiz page if you are trying to find the reveal button.
3. Press the magic button (don't hold it down for two LED blinks) and key in 000.
4. If the remote acts if you pressed that missing button, write down the number you keyed in.  Otherwise, repeat steps 3 and 4 with the next number in sequence, e.g. 001.  If a certain number causes the remote to press a wrong button, e.g. changes the channel, repeat step 2 before going on to step 3 using the next number in sequence.  Sometimes you have to go through over 50 keys before even anything happens.
5. After you found the number, press and hold down magic until the LED blinks twice.
6. Key in 994 and press magic (don't hold it down for two LED blinks).
7. Key in the number you found above.
8. Press the button on the remote to store it on.
9. Repeat all these steps to find other keys that were on the original remote.
