Changing house code settings
Setting the house code links your remote to your system for reliable control. The house code is adjustable to avoid interference in situations where another device unexpectedly controls your system.
To change the House Code:
- Power off your system
- On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover
- Above the battery compartment, use a small utensil (i.e. paperclip or pen) to change the positions of the first four switches. These switches are the House Code
- Replace the battery cover
- On the system console, press and hold the Store button: House Code appears on the console display with four squares indicating the previous House Code
- While holding the Store button, press any button on the remote: New House Code appears and the four squares change to reflect the new House Code
- Release the Store button
Note: If you have more than one remote for your system, match the House Code switch positions on all remotes to the new setting.
To change the expansion remote house code setting, follow these steps:
Determine the house code of the system:
- Turn the Lifestyle system off

Note: The default house code setting is all squares in the down position
- Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote and locate the nine switches above the battery compartment
- Change the position of the switches 1, 2, 3, and 4 using a push pin, paper clip or pen to match the position of the squares shown on the media center display
