Navigate to the WOW Support site and click on the “Device Codes” link for your remote.
5
Click on the tab for the type of device you want programmed, then select your device brand and model from the dropdown menus. For example, if programming the remote with your stereo, click on the “Audio” tab, then enter the stereo’s brand and model name or number.

Click on “Search.” The WOW site will display one or more compatible programming codes for your device.

Troubleshooting Remote Setup

1
Try replacing the batteries in your remote if it fails to operate properly even when the remote is lit up. Weak battery life will often prevent your remote from responding to some or all button commands.
2
Try unplugging and reconnecting your device if it fails to respond after being programmed with your remote. This will powercycle the device, and can often help resolve problems with unresponsiveness to your WOW remote.
3
Move any objects that may be obstructing the signal between your device and the remote. Large objects positioned between the device and your remote such as furniture can sometimes prevent both devices from communicating with one another.
4
Make sure that your device is plugged in and can be powered on manually if it fails to respond to your remote. This can help verify whether it’s your device or the remote experiencing problems.

Warnings

The WOW universal remote may not offer full functionality after being programmed with your device. For example, if you programmed the remote with your VCR, the “play” and “stop” buttons may work, but the “rewind” or “fast forward” buttons may not work. Keep this factor in mind when programming your remote for use with multiple household devices.
