Multi-Brand Remote Control

This Remote can control some functions of remote controllable TVs, cable boxes or DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receivers listed below. Without setting, you can control a PANASONIC TV.

NOTES:

Some unit’s brands have more than one code. If the unit does not function with a specified code, try other codes.

Depending on the type of unit, some or all functions cannot be operated using this Remote.

It’s not possible to operate a unit not equipped with a remote sensor.

It’s not possible to set the Remote for both your cable box and a DBS receiver at the same time.

Once you have set the Remote to operate the unit, you do not have to set it until you replace the batteries from the Remote.

Changing Remote Control Code

This Remote is capable of transmitting two control codes; one set to respond to A code control signals and another set to respond to B code control signals. This Remote control is preset to send A code signals because your VCR is initially set to respond to A code signals. You can easily modify your VCR and the Remote to respond to B code signals. When using two PANASONIC VCRs, set two VCRs and their Remotes to different codes, so that you can operate these VCRs separately.

ASet remote control code for Remote

APress and hold A/B.

BPress the Number key 2”. C Press OK, and release A/B.

The Remote now can transmit B code control signals.

BCheck remote control code for VCR

Press and hold 4 on the VCR for more than 5 seconds while the VCR is turned off. The code currently set appears on the display panel.

CChange code for VCR

Press any key on the Remote. The VCR now responds to B code control signals.

To set the Remote and the VCR back to A code control signals, repeat the same procedure as shown above except pressing the Number key 1” in step B of 1.

To control two VCRs with the same Remote

You can control two PANASONIC VCRs by switching the remote control code for the Remote between A and B ( step A), keeping two VCRs to different control codes.

To change only the remote control code for the Remote, DO NOT perform steps B and C.
