Control other devices in the same room as the remote

The Xtender remote is a full universal remote and can control other devices that are in the same room as the remote – the three buttons on the bottom of the remote (Aux, CBL, and DVD) can each hold the codes for a device of your choice

Decide on which device you would like to control with which button – for example we will program a JBL DVD player to be controlled by the DVD button

Find the JBL DVD codes in the code list (Appendix A) and write down those codes – in this case 25278

Hold down “Info” and “DVD” for about two seconds until the power light comes on and stays on

Punch in the code “25278”

Press select/OK to confirm

If there are multiple codes, try them one at a time until you find the one that works for your device.

Repeat for each of the other local control buttons

Punch-Through

Why might I want to do this? If you use something other than the built in speakers in your TV to listen a show, you have an external receiver or video switch to control what you are watching on your TV, or you change channels on something other than your TV – like a Cable or Satellite Box.

Volume Punch-Through

By default, volume buttons always control the local TV, regardless of mode. To redirect volume buttons ("Vol +", "Vol -", and "Mute") to the AUX device (an audio receiver, external amp or anything else), or return these controls to the local TV, use this procedure:

1.Make sure you have programmed the remote to control your external audio device by using the AUX button – see “Control other devices in the same room as the remote:” above

2.Press and hold one of the following combinations for at least 2 seconds:

ƒ"AUX" and "VOL +" - to direct volume buttons to the AUX device, or

ƒ"TV" and "VOL +" - to direct volume buttons to the local TV.

3.The power LED will turn on.

4.Press Select/OK to confirm.

5.If successful, the power LED will pulse twice and turn off. If the function failed, the power LED will pulse rapidly for one second, and then turn off.

Input Punch-Through:

By default, the remote sends the TV-Input button to the currently selected local or BOCS device. To redirect the TV-Input button to the AUX device (when the remote is in any local mode), or return it to its default behavior, use this procedure:

1.Press and hold one of the following combinations for at least 2 seconds:

ƒ"AUX" and "Live TV" - to direct the TV-Input button to the AUX device, or
