You have ten minutes to replace the batteries before your remote loses memory.

USING YOUR REMOTE

To select a device to control, simply press one of the device mode keys (TV, AUDIO, DVD/VCR, CABLE) at the top of your remote. After you set up the remote to control that device, you may begin using the device.

See “Programming Device Control” for more information on identifying a specific device to a device key.

3.Enter the four-digit code. The device key LED turns off briefly after each key press.

Note: You have 10 seconds to press each digit. If it takes longer than that, the remote “times out” and you must begin again.

4.	If the remote recognizes the
	code, the device key’s LED blinks
	three times. You can now test the
	remote by pressing POWER. If
	your device responds (turns off),
	you have found the right code. If
	your device does not respond,
	repeat steps 2 - 3 with the next
	code in the list..
	If the remote does not recognize
	the code, the LED will turn off.
	Retry the code (by repeating
	steps 2-3 using the next code

Tip: Note the code set that worked, in case you must re-code your remote:

DVD/VCR:

TV:

AUDIO:

See “Checking Codes”for more information on noting code sets.

CHECKING CODES

1.	Press and hold a device mode
	key (AUDIO, DVD/VCR, or TV) for
	at least six seconds. The LEDs
	for each device key light up, then
	the key for the device you
	selected remains on.
2.	Enter 9 9 0 to tell the remote you
	are verifying the device code.
	The LED blinks twice.

The device key’s LED blinks three times, indicating it has unlocked the volume control for all devices.

REASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS

Each device key accesses a specific type of device (for example, the DVD/ VCR key can only be programmed to control a DVD player, VCR, DVR, or HTIB system). This makes it easier to search for a code if your device’s code does not appear on the list provided.

Your new remote allows you to change the type of device that may be assigned to a device key. That way, if you have two TVs, for example, you can control them both by changing the type of device the DVD/VCR or AUDIO key controls.

•	Review the information in
	“Using Your Remote”to make
	sure that the key you pressed is

	“Using Your Remote”for more
	information on choosing a

User Guide

OVERVIEW

Your new Motorola DRC800 universal 4-in-1 remote operates your Motorola or or other manufacturer's cable set- top box and up to three other devices.

In addition, the DRC800 provides advanced features such as Digital Video Recording (DVR) control and Picture-in-Picture (PIP) support.

You can lock volume control to any of these devices, to make adjusting your home entertainment volume easier.

See “Changing Volume Lock”. The DRC800 comes from the factory without the volume locked to any specific device.

You can also change what type of device each mode key controls. See “Reassigning Device Keys”.

Operating Range

Your remote controls devices from up to 50 ft (15 m) away if you are directly in front of the device, or from up to 20 ft (6 m) away if you are off to either side.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your remote requires 2 AAA batteries. The first set of batteries is included, and should last up to 6 months under normal usage.

1.Remove the battery case cover and the old batteries (if necessary).

PROGRAMMING DEVICE CONTROL

Each of the additional device keys controls a particular type of device. For example, the DVD/VCR key controls your VCR, DVR, or DVD player, but not your TV, unless you specify otherwise. See “Reassigning Device Keys”.

for Codes”.

SEARCHING FOR CODES

If none of the codes listed under “Device Codes”on the back of this guide match your device, you can search for a set of commands that will work. Your remote will sample all the codes in its system for that device mode to find one that will allow you to control your device.

1.Press and hold a device mode key (AUDIO, DVD/VCR, or TV) for at least six seconds. The LED for each device key lights up, then the key for the device you selected remains on.

2.Press a function key (such as Power or Mute). The following function keys are valid for Searching (Power is recommended):

•Power

•Mute

•Play

•CH +

•Stop

The device key’s LED blinks three times, then turns off.

3.Press !. The remote will send the IR command for the function you pressed in Step 2.

4.If the device performed the function you pressed, press OK. The remote will now control the device you selected in Step 1.

If the device did not perform the

function you pressed, repeat step 3. Press " to retry the previous code.

number. If the LED does not

blink, the number is 0. This is

the first digit of the device code.

Press 2, 3, and 4 to obtain all

four-code digits.

CHANGING VOLUME LOCK

Locking the volume controls to a single device makes it easier to control volume, without having to guess whether the volume will change. If you lock the remote's volume controls to the TV (for example), you will always be able to change the volume to the level you want, without having to adjust it on multiple devices.

1.Press and hold the device mode key (TV, AUDIO, DVD/VCR, or

Cable) corresponding to the device you want to control volume for at least six seconds. The LED for each device key lights up, then the key for the device you selected remains on.

2.Press Volume +.

The device key’s LED blinks three times, indicating it has locked the volume control to the device you selected. The AUDIO device key always controls its own volume, regardless of the device is locked to volume control.

Note: If you reassign AUDIO to another device, such as a second TV, the second TV will always control its own volume.

Unlocking Volume Control:

1.Press and hold a device mode key (TV, AUDIO, DVD/VCR, or

Cable) corresponding to the device currently locked to the volume controls for at least six seconds. The LED for each device key lights up, then the key for the device you selected remains on.

2.Press Volume -.

	Cable) corresponding to the type
	of device you want the
	reassigned key to control (for
	example, TV) for at least six
	seconds. The LED for each
	device key lights up, then the key
	for the device you selected
	remains on.
2.	Enter 9 9 2.
3.	Press the device mode key you
	want to reassign (for example,
	AUDIO). That mode key’s LED
	blinks three times and turns off,
	indicating that it has been
	reassigned.

The reassigned key automatically uses the same device code as the key you selected in Step 1. If your second device uses a different code, you may program it for the new code. See “Programming Device Control”.

Note: You may not reassign the Cable device key to another type of device.

Assigning a Key back to Its Original Device Type:

1.Press and hold the device mode key (TV, AUDIO, DVD/VCR, or

Cable) you want to reset to its original type (for example, AUDIO) for at least six seconds. The LED for each device key lights up, then the key for the device you selected remains on.

2.Enter 9 9 2. The mode key’s LED blinks three times and turns off.

3.Press the device mode key you selected in Step 1 again. The mode key’s LED blinks three times and turns off.

4.Program the restored mode key to control a device. See “Programming Device Control”.
