I'm trying to teach my remote some codes - I'm following the instructions but the remote doesn't behave correctly.

Action                          Reaction
Press/hold setup            LED lights solid
Press "TV"                    LED flashes once
Press "Learn"                 LED blinks 7 times then goes out (according to manual should blink once)
                                  Then I'm no longer in setup mode

I tried taking out the batteries - same thing.

Any suggestions?

Learning remotes are sensitive to IR from all sources.  Try it in a dimly illuminated room, e.g., close blinds and turn off lights, taking care that the learning port is not pointed towards a window or other source of IR.

Some other tips from my own experience, clear out memory just in case you have "garbage" filling it up.  Practice learning just a button or two.  Once you get the feel for it, clear out memory once again, and program your remote for good.

Do you have the 4 battery or the 2 battery version?   The 2 battery version is the newer one, and actually is easier to program.
