As mentioned, there are two ways to set up your Brightstar universal remote- with and without codes. In this section we will see how to do it with codes.
To find the code for your device, refer to the table above. If you don’t find it there, head over to the official Brightstar remote manual and look for it.

Press the ‘Setup’ key
On your Brightstart remote, you have to press and hold the ‘Set up’ button until the LED light blinks and stays on. Then, you can release the button.
Step
Enter the remote code
Now, you have to input the code that you have found. As mentioned, you can use the table above or the user manual.
If the code is valid, the LED will turn off. But if you enter the wrong code, the LED light will blink. In this case, you will have to repeat the above process.
Step
Test the remote code
Now, you have to see if the Brightstar remote works with your device. Try turning it on and pressing different buttons. If everything works correctly, then the remote has been programmed.
However, if the buttons don’t respond correctly, then you will have to repeat the process above and program it again with a different code.

If you don’t want to use codes, then you can try to program with the code search method –
Step
Power on the device
