This tutorial will show you how to perform a factory reset on your Cogeco remote control. This may be a good idea if your remote is not controlling your devices properly, weird things are happening when pressing buttons on your Cogeco remote or you are having problems program your Cogeco remote. This will flush out all remote codes that are currently programmed into your Cogeco remote and you will need to re-program all devices.
1. Press and hold the “Setup” button on your Cogeco remote until you see one of the device keys at the top of the remote flash red twice.
2. Enter “981″ using the number pad on your Cogeco remote.
3. You should see one of the device keys flash in red 4 times.
Your Cogeco remote control should now be reset.
Note: If you want to remove the remote control from the previous cable box and re-assign the “CBL” device button you must enter “982″ in the steps above to do this.

In this tutorial we will show you how to use your Cogeco remote control to search your TV or other device (DVD, stereo receiver, etc…) for the remote control code neeedd to control your device form the Cogeco remote control.
Search for the remote control code for your TV or other devices.
1. Turn your TV or other device on.
2. Press the “TV” button on the top of the Cogeco remote control. (Note: You can substitute the “TV” key for the specific device you are programming e.g. VCR, DVD, AUD or CBL.)
3. Press and hold the “Setup” button at the top of the Cogeco remote until it flashes red twice.
4. Enter “991″ on the Cogeco remote number pad.
5. Aim the Cogeco remote at your TV or other device and press “PWR” once.
6. Press and release the “CH+” and stop when your TV or other device turns off. (Note: This causes the Cogeco remote to scroll through all the device codes that are contained in the remotes library.)
7. Press “PWR” and the TV should turn back on. (Note: If the TV does not turn on, press the “CH-” key slowly and then press “Setup” when the TV turns back on.)
8. Press “Setup” to lock the code into your Cogeco remote.
9. Your Cogeco remote control should now be controlling your TV or other device.

Here’s the deal. Should you use component cables or HDMi cables to hookup your Cogeco HD receiver? Well simply put, you can use whatever one you want.
The only difference is Cogeco’s technical support will not provide technical support for HDMI cables. The reason for this is that Cogeco cable ships a set of component cables with their HD receivers and not a HDMI cable. HDMI cables will work just as good as component cables if not better with a HD receiver from Cogeco.
What’s the difference between component cables and an HDMI cable you ask? Well not much, a component cable consists of 5 plugs, 3 for video and 2 for audio on each end of the cable. While an HDMI cable has the video and audio built into just one connector. If you are looking for simplicity then HDMI would be the way to go.
Below is an HDMI cable
And this is what a component cable looks like.
The moral of the story is that HDMI will work with a Cogeco HD DCT, but if you want to use it do not call their technical support looking for help, you won’t get very far. If you use HDMI you are on your own even though you pretty much just have to plug the cable in.
It’s Cogeco, not Cogico!
