Aiming the remote control

To aim the remote control:

•Point the remote control towards the remote sensor on the front of your TV.

Notes

•Do not expose the remote control to shock or liquids.

•Do not use the remote control in an area with high humidity.

•Do not place the remote control in direct sunlight. The remote control may not work if direct sunlight or bright light shines on the remote sensor. Either move your TV or change the angle at which you use the remote control.

•Do not place objects, such as furniture, between the remote control and the remote sensor.

Programming a universal remote control to work with your TV

You can operate your Insignia TV with a new or existing universal remote control.

To program a universal remote control:

1Find the code for your universal remote control by identifying its model (or your set-top box’s remote control manufacturer and model) on the charts below, then making note of the numbered code below it. You will use the numbered code to program your remote control to work with your Insignia TV.

Codes for other remote controls are available online at: www.insigniaproducts.com/universalcontrolcodes.aspx

Tips

•The brand name is often visible on the front of the universal remote control, and the model number is often visible on the back.

•If your universal remote control isn’t listed on the chart, refer to your universal remote control’s instructions and try codes for the brands Orion, Emerson, Memorex, Sansui, Sylvania, or Zenith. You may need to try several codes before finding a match.

2Follow your universal remote control’s instructions to enter the TV code you found in Step 1.

Tips

•If your universal remote control has a code search feature, run a code search to identify a code that matches your TV. See your universal remote control’s instructions for details.

•If your universal remote control has a “Learn” feature, you can manually program it using the Insignia TV remote to “teach” the commands one at a time. See your universal remote control’s instructions for details.

3If all else fails, you must use a different universal remote control that can operate both your set-top box and your TV. Four such remotes are listed on the chart, but many other compatible models are available in the market.

For more help, call technical support for your universal remote control or set-top box manufacturer, or call the Insignia Customer Care Center at 1-877-467-4289.

Making connections

Connecting the power

To connect the power:

•Connect the power cord to the power jack on the back of your TV, then connect the other end to a surge protector or power outlet. If you are using a surge protector, make sure that it is turned on.

Cautions

•Make sure that you use the correct type of power. See the label on your TV.

•If you do not intend to use your TV for an extended period of time, turn off the surge protector (if you are using one) or unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Installing the ferrite core

The ferrite core shields cables from interference.

To install the ferrite core:

•Open the ferrite core, slide the cables into the slot, then close the core.
