1. Press DVD
2. Hold the magic/set button until the DVD button flashes twice.
3. Press 0533

4. Hold the magic/set button until it flashes twice.
5. Press 994
6. Press Magic/Set Key (don't hold)
7. Press 00189 (if your oneforall remote uses 4 digit or 3 digit codes, use less leading zeros)
8. Press 1 ( this sets it to key 1 - it flashes twice )

9. Hold the magic/set button until it flashes twice.
10. Press 994
11. Press Magic/Set Key (don't hold)
12. Press 00255
13. Press 2 ( this sets it to key 2 - it flashes twice )

14. Hold the magic/set button until it flashes twice.
15. Press 994
16. Press Magic/Set Key (don't hold)
17. Press 00095
18. Press 3 ( this sets it to key 3 - it flashes twice )

19. Hold the magic/set button until it flashes twice.
20. Press 994
21. Press Magic/Set Key (don't hold)

25. Press 994

3. Put the player back into standby with the Sony remote
