If you want to play a videotape, press VCR1 then PLAY (pointing the remote at the VCR).

Controlling a Second Satellite Receiver

The remote can control two satellite receivers. From the Main menu, select System Setup, then System Options, then Remote Setup. Then follow the on-screen instructions and enter the appropriate code from the Satellite Receiver list at the end of this section. By default, the SAT button is used to control the first satellite receiver and the AUX button is used to control the second satellite receiver.

If your second receiver is an RCA, GE, or Proscan and you want to control it using the AUX button, use code 5001. Code 5000 is used by the SAT button.
