PROBLEM: Red Indicator Light does not blink when you press a key.

SOLUTION: Replace the batteries with four (4) new “AAA” alkaline batteries (see page 4).

PROBLEM: The VOL+, VOL–, and MUTE keys are not functional.

SOLUTION: Make sure the remote control is not in the I-TV mode, and that volume control is locked to a component that has vol- ume capabilities and is pro- grammed into the I-TV remote control.

PROBLEM: Red Indicator Light blinks when you press a key, but home entertainment compo- nent does not respond.

SOLUTION: Make sure you are aiming the I-TV remote control at your home entertainment compo- nent and that you are within 15 feet of the component you are trying to control.

PROBLEM: The remote control does not control home entertainment components or commands are not working properly.

SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the component brand being set up.Make sure all components can be operated with an infrared remote control.

PROBLEM: TV/VCR Combo does not respond properly.

SOLUTION: Use the VCR codes for your brand. Some combo units may require both a TV code and a VCR code for full oper- ation (see page 6).

PROBLEM: CH+, CH–, and LAST do not work for your RCA TV.

SOLUTION: Due to an RCA design (1983- 1987), only the original remote control will operate these functions.

PROBLEM: Changing channels does not

work properly.

SOLUTION: If original remote control required pressing ENTER to change channels, press ENTER on the I-TV after entering a channel number.

PROBLEM: Tried Auto Scan and still could not find a working code.

SOLUTION: Try Auto Scan again after clearing out the component key as follows: Press and hold ENTER until Red Light blinks twice,then release. Next enter 9 - 9 - 2. Then press and release the component key to be cleared twice.

PROBLEM: Remote control does not turn on Sony or Sharp TV/VCR Combo.
