PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE Manual Three-Digit Code Method The DR-3 remote control can duplicate the remote functions of most brands of audio/video equipment by simply entering in a three-digit code number. When you enter in the code the DR-3 “learns” most or all of the remote functions of that equipment so you don’t need to program the DR-3 button by button. There are tables on pages 14 - 15 that list the major audio/video brands and their three-digit remote codes. Quick Instructions 4 1. Look up co
