Chapter 2: Using the remote control

5 To control the TV, press the “TV mode select button.”

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 device’s original remote control (or the control buttons on the device).

•Every 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 “VCR1/VCR2.” 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 (“VCR1” or “VCR2”) 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 p, 1, z, <, and S. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

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

1

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

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

4 If the device responds to the remote control:

Press Eto store the device code. The device button LED will blink two times and the remote control will exit the program mode.

If the device does not respond to the remote control:

Press B, and then press p. Repeat this step until the

device responds to the remote control, and then press E.

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

Using the volume lock feature (8000)

By default (factory setting), the remote control’s volume keys (zZand W) are locked to the “TV” device mode.

The remote control will operate the TV’s volume, even when “TV” is not the current device mode. (This includes all remote control device modes except AUX 1 and AUX 2).

If you unlock the remote control’s volume keys, each device mode will have its own volume (if the device ID has volume data). The remote control will operate the volume of the device associated with the current device mode. (This includes all remote control device modes.)

If you lock the remote control’s volume keys to a specific device mode, the remote control will operate the volume of the device associated with the locked mode, even when the locked mode is not the current device mode. (This includes all device modes except AUX 1 and AUX 2).

When the remote control is in AUX1 (or AUX 2) mode, the remote control will operate the volume of the device associated with the AUX 1 (or AUX 2) mode, even when the volume is locked to another mode.

See “Using the remote control to operate your other devices” on page 16.

To lock the remote control’s volume keys to a specific mode (CABLE/SAT in this example):

1

2

3 Press z. The CABLE/SAT button LED will blink two times (locked).

The remote control’s volume keys will now operate the volume of the device associated with the CABLE/SAT mode, even when CABLE/SAT is not the current device mode (for all device modes except AUX 1 and AUX 2).

To unlock the remote control’s volume keys:

1

2 Press Z. The CABLE/SAT button LED will blink four times (unlocked).

Operational feature reset (8900)

This feature clears all programmed remote control features not related to “Device code setup” and resets the volume lock to the “TV” device mode.

To reset the remote control:

While holding down E, press 8, 9, 0, 0. The Device button LED will respond with four blinks.
