Control Other Devices with the Remote

Remote Control Modes

You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver or other devices. This section explains how to set up the remote to control a device, such as a satellite TV receiver, a TV, a VCR, a DVD player,

a tuner, or an amplifier.

To set the remote to the right mode for a device, use the remote control’s mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV, VCR (for a VCR or a DVD player), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a DVD player, or an audio amplifier). To change the mode, press the button for the device you want the remote to control. The mode button flashes once to show you’ve set the remote to that mode.

Limited Mode

You can program your remote control in Limited Mode to keep from accidentally changing the channel on your TV or VCR. When you use the remote to control your TV in Limited Mode, you will only be able to use the POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME buttons. Also, when you use the remote to control your VCR in Limited Mode, you will only be able to use the POWER and VCR tape control buttons.

The section Set Up the Remote Control has a step that tells the remote control to go into Limited Mode.

Note: Limited Mode is not used with cable boxes or amplifiers.

Combination Devices

If you are programming the remote to control a combination device, such as a TV/VCR or a TV/DVD, program the remote control in one mode, and then repeat the procedure in the other mode. For example, to program the remote to control a TV/VCR using code 748, follow the instructions to program the remote to control the TV using code 748, and then repeat the instructions for the VCR using the same code.
