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.
Tip: You program the remote that came with your receiver to control as many as three other devices.
