Controlling External Sources

For VCR (or DVR) control

The list of VCR brands and VCR codes include selections for DVRs as well. By following the instructions below, you can set the remote to control one or the other, but not both.

If you have both a VCR and a DVR, setting your remote to control the DVR will provide more control options. Whether yours is a standalone DVR or is coupled with the VCR or Cable/Satellite box makes no difference.

Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE® System menu, refer to “Using System Menus” on page 29.

Follow the process below:

Turn on your VCR or DVR. Turn on the TV and be sure to select the Video input on the TV for the media center. Then, using the LIFESTYLE® remote control, press the VCR source button and follow the steps below.

1.Identify the brand.

•From the Remote Control options in the System menu, select VCR Brand.

•Move right into the list of brands and up or down to locate your brand of VCR or DVR.

•Press Enter to select that brand.

2.Choose a device code:

•In the menu options on the left, select VCR Device Code.

•Move right to select the first code.

•Press the VCR On/Off button on your LIFESTYLE® remote. Press this button again. If the VCR or DVR turns off and on again, you have chosen the right code.

If the VCR or DVR does not turn off and on, select another code, and press the VCR On/Off button two more times.*

•When you have chosen the right code, press the Enter button.

•Press the System or Exit button to leave the System menu.

When you complete these settings and select VCR as the source, you can now use the VCR On/Off button and press Play, Pause, or Stop to control your VCR.

If you have made the remote settings for a DVR, you can also use the Seek button on the LIFESTYLE® remote. On some DVRs, pressing Shuffle and Repeat buttons will allow you to skip backward or forward quickly.

For AUX control

If you have a component connected to the AUX input on your media center, you can set your LIFESTYLE® remote to control it, although on and off control is not an option.

If you do not have a component connected to AUX, you can still control another device by selecting it from the list of AUX device choices: Changer, Satellite, Cable, DVR, TV or VCR.

To exercise this control, you must press the AUX source button first.

Note: For general guidelines on using the LIFESTYLE® System menu, refer to “Using System Menus” on page 29.

*Some manufacturers use a number of similar device codes. After selecting one, you may find you can turn your VCR or DVR on and off, but are unable to change channels or select Play or Pause. In that case, select a different device code that provides more control.
