How To Program Spectrum Remote To Cable Box Using The Code Manual Method.
If you have the correct codes to program your spectrum remote, this method is the easiest for you.
Step 1. Ensure you turn on your Cable box
Step 2. Hold your spectrum remote control close enough to face your Cable box.
Step 3. On your remote, find and press the CBL and OK/SELL buttons together. You may have to hold down both buttons for a couple of seconds until the tiny LED light turns on.
Step 4. Your cable box is ready to be programmed at this point. All you have to do is to find the correct code for your brand and enter using the number buttons on your Spectrum remote. (Check below to see the list of codes) You may have to try multiple codes to get the correct code. After each incorrect code, wait for a couple of seconds before you try another code. Once you get the right code, your cable box will turn off automatically.
Step 5. Press the ‘POWER’ button on your spectrum button to turn on your Cable box. If your cable box turns on, it means you got the process right. Try to use other buttons on your remote to test the process. If other buttons are not responding, then you will have to go through the process again starting from step 2 this time.
Step 6. After that, press the CBL button again on your remote to store the code. Viola, you have programmed your cable box.
How To Program Spectrum Remote To Cable Box Using The Auto-Search Method.
If you don’t want to go through the stress of finding the remote control codes to program your Spectrum remote, then this is the best method for you. With the auto-search method, the remote automatically goes through the database of programmed codes to find the correct code for your cable box.
Step 1. Ensure you turn on your Cable box
Step 2. Hold your spectrum remote control close enough to face your Cable box.
Step 3. On your remote, find and press the CBL and OK/SELL buttons together. You may have to hold down both buttons for a couple of seconds until the tiny LED light turns on.
Step 4. Find the CH- or CH+ buttons on your remote, press and hold while still holding your remote control to face your cable box. You just have to press either of the buttons, not both. You will continue to press the button until your Cable box goes off. What is happening when you are pressing the button is that your remote is searching through the database of codes to get the correct code. So you may have to press the button a number of times until the right code is gotten.
Step 5. Press the ‘POWER’ button on your spectrum button to turn on your Cable box. If your cable box turns on, it means you got the process right. Try to use other buttons on your remote to test the process. If other buttons are not responding, then you will have to go through the process again starting from step 2 this time.
Step 6. After that, press the CBL button again on your remote to store the code. Viola, you have programmed your cable box.
