Using the Remote Control
4.Press and release the ON•OFF button once. There is a delay of approximately 6 seconds before the remote starts the code search.
The device buttons blinks each time the remote control sends a code to test with your device. Keep pointing the remote at the device.
5.Once the device turns off, quickly press the OK button to save the code.
6.If you accidentally passed the code before saving it, press the left arrow button to back- track through the codes; then use the right arrow button to go forward through the codes again.
When all codes have been searched, the device button flashes 3 times, then the remote exits automatic code search and returns to normal operation.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to operate your devices.
To operate the device:
1.Press the appropriate device button (SAT•AUX or DVD) to set the remote to control the device, for example, press DVD to control your DVD player.
2.Press ON•OFF to turn the device ON or OFF.
3.Use the remote buttons that apply to that device.
Note: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of devices.
Modes of Operation
The button corresponding to the mode the remote is in lights up when you press any button that works in that mode. For example, if you’re in TV mode and you press the VOL+ button, the TV button lights up. This tells you that the command to increase the volume is being sent to the TV (and not the satellite receiver, for example).
Volume Punchthrough Feature
You may find this feature helpful if you’ve connected your devices to an audio system, and you want to use the TV’s remote control to operate the volume for a device that is connected to the audio system. An example follows:
Let’s say you’ve connected your DVD player to your audio system. You’ve also programmed your TV remote control to operate your DVD player. Since the DVD player sends its volume through the audio system, you would have to bounce back and forth between two remote controls: the audio system’s remote to adjust the volume and the TV’s remote control to operate the DVD player.
The Volume Punchthrough feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls and saves a button press when you’re using the TV remote to adjust the volume. In effect, you are telling the TV remote to retrieve and send volume commands from the audio system whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode.
