Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Programming the remote control to operate your other devices

Device code setup

1.Refer to the multi-brand remote control device code table on pages 33–34 to find the code for the brand of your device.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find one that works.

2.Press MODE until the Mode indicator for the device (CBL/SAT, VCR/PVR, DVD, AUDIO 1, AUDIO 2) lights up.

3.While holding down the RECALL button, press the Channel Number buttons to enter the four-digit code for your brand of device. If a valid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink twice. If an invalid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink one long blink.

4.Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test the code.

If the device responds to the remote control: You have entered the correct code.

If the device does not respond to the remote control: You may have entered the wrong code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another code.

Note: In addition to POWER, confirm that all necessary keys on the TV remote control operate your device. If some keys are not operational, repeat the device code setup using another code (if other codes are listed for your device). If, after trying all listed codes, the necessary keys do not operate your device, use the deviceÕs original remote control.

5. To control the TV, repeatedly press MODE to select “TV.”

Note:

¥Although the TV remote control includes codes for many devices, it may not include codes for some or all of the features on certain devices you want to control. If you are unable to program the TV remote control to operate your device or some of the features on that device, use the deviceÕs remote control or the controls on the device.

¥Each time you change the batteries you will need to reprogram the remote control.

¥Some newer VCRs respond to either of two codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled ÒVCR1/VCR2.Ó If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to the codes for your VCR brand, set the switch to the other position (ÒVCR1Ó or ÒVCR2Ó) and reprogram the remote control.

Searching and sampling the code of a device (8500)

If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you can cycle the remote control through the available codes for that device mode and sample the functions to find the code that operates the target device. The keys available to be sampled, provided they are applicable to that mode, are POWER, 1, VOL y, CH y, and PLAY. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:

1.Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.

2.While holding down RECALL, press 8 – 5 – 0 – 0. The remote control will enter program mode.

3.Point the remote control at the target device and press POWER (or other function buttons that are available to be sampled).

4.If the device responds to the remote control:

Press RECALL to store the device code. The mode indicator will blink twice and the remote control will exit the program mode.

If the device does not respond to the remote control:

Press y, and then press POWER. Repeat this step until the device responds to the remote control, and then press

RECALL.

Note: When a search cycle is completed, the mode indicator will blink three times. The remote control will begin to cycle through the available codes again. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while programming, the remote control will exit the program mode and return to the previous code.
