The following steps will allow you to program your InteracTV controller:
- Make sure the InteracTV controller has good batteries. Slide the 3 position memory switch, on the back of the controller, to the desired memory position. The controller is capable of being setup for up to 3 different DVD players in 3 different locations.The controller must be setup and tested individually for each of the 3 DVD players, but once that is done the controller will retain the manufacturer's code and does not need to be setup again.If the consumer accidentally enters a new valid 4-digit manufacturer’s code, then they must set it up again for that DVD player.It is a good idea to write the 4-digit manufacturer’s code in the labeling area provided on the back of the controller.
- Insert the compilation DVD into the DVD player and turn on the DVD player and TV.
- Insert the programming card into the controller; the green light should blink twice.
- Locate the manufacturer’s codes in the user’s manual.
- Enter the first 4 digit code listed under the manufacturer. Use the right arrow button for the number. The light should blink after each button press and blink a long blink after the 4th digit is entered.
- Remove the programming card.The light should double blink when the card is removed
- Insert the test card into the unit;the green light should double blink.
- The DVD should skip to the test screen, if it does not, repeat from step 3, choosing the next manufacturer’s code on the list. If the test card skips to the footage, which resembles the test card, then proceed with testing the unit.See Testing the unit section of you manual or quick setup instructions.
- If you have tried all of the manufacturer's codes listed and you cannot locate an acceptable code, see programming the unit using manual search in your user's manual.

Signs that you may need a macro -
- When testing with the test card, the consumer is getting no functionality
with the any buttons. A character macro maybe needed.
- The controller is shipped with several default macros. Certain DVD
players require an enter command be sent after the numeric commands (arrow keys
do not require enter), others require that all commands be sent multiple times
(repeated).
- The macros are programmed after the manufacture code has been programmed.
- There are two sets of macros. One set controls the number of times a
command is sent.
- The other sends additional characters with the number commands.
Additional characters:
- 0001 – Will send only the numeric command (1-9)
- 0002 – Will send the numeric command (1-9), then enter (default)
- 0003 – Will send zero then the numeric command (1-9)
- 0004 – Will send zero then the numeric command (1-9) then enter.
Number of times command is sent
- 0005 – Will send the IR command one time
- 0006 – Will send the IR command 2 times (default)
- 0007 – Will send the IR command 3 times
- If no macro is entered the controller will use the default macros. In most
cases the default macro will function fine and does not need to be changed.
- The additional character macro is specific to the 3 pos. memory
switch. Every time a new manufacture code is programmed the Additional
character macro will reset to the default code.
- The additional character macro only affects the number 1-9 it does not
affect the arrow buttons
- The number of times command is sent macro is assigned to all positions of
the memory switch and will not reset to default even if a new manufacturers code
is entered. The consumer must reprogram it to change it.
- When programming a macro each button pressed will flash the green indicator
light once. When the final digit is pressed and the macro is programmed
the green indicator light will flash twice (just like when inserting a card).
- After any of these commands are entered into the controller, the controller
will stop responding to button presses until the card is removed and
re-inserted.
- Version 1.0 remotes do not support macros and will not display the double
blink after the 4th button is pressed.

How do I determine the version electronically?
- Insert programming card
- press 0010
- after pressing last 0 watch indicator light
- count the number of blinks
- that is the major version number (2 blinks would be 2.??)
- if no blinks it is version 1.0
- remove programming card and reinsert
- press 0011
- after pressing last 1 watch indicator light
- count the number of blinks
- that is the minor version number
- no blinks is zero
Example: 0010 is pressed and it blinks twice. 0011 is pressed and it blinks twice. The version is 2.2

Here are some tips that may help you during the quick setup:
- Make sure you are using fresh alkaline batteries inside your InteracTV controller.
- If you have followed the instructions on the quick setup sheet and your InteracTV controller is still not working with your DVD player, try the setup sheet again from the beginning. It is possible that one of the numbers did not register when you entered in your DVD code.
- When pressing the numbers on the programming card, make sure your press each number firmly and slowly. The green light on your controller should blink one time after each number is pressed. When the fourth digit is pressed, make sure the green light on your InteracTV controller blinks one long blink. If you do NOT see this long blink, remove the programming card, re-insert it into the controller and try the same code again.

If you are stuck in an activity after repeated attempts to remove and insert an activity card, please place the activity card back into the InteracTV controller and wait for the next activity to appear on the screen. When the next activity appears on the screen, remove the card from your InteracTV controller. The menu screen should now appear on the screen. If the menu screen does not appear on your screen you need to restart the InteracTV DVD. Press stop on your DVD player and then press play to restart the DVD.

Each DVD player will respond differently to your InteracTV controller. Some players will take longer to access the DVD then other players do. For the best results, please make sure that you press the button one time and then wait a few seconds for a reaction from your DVD player. If you do not get a reaction from your DVD player after a few seconds, try pressing the button again. Also, make sure you are pressing the buttons firmly.
