... in the Mode menu, tap Use.

You can also tap the mode label covering the icon to open the Mode menu.

NOTE If the Mode button isn’t visible, the Mode menu has been hidden to protect against accidental changes to the remote control commands.

To switch devices without affecting the source

If your components are connected to a preampliﬁer or other device, such as a receiver, the remote control may be programmed to automatically switch the input source when you choose a device from Home or the Device menu.

However, sometimes you may want to operate a device without affecting the input source. For example, you may want to rewind your VCR while watching TV. You don’t want to interrupt your TV viewing when you switch the remote control to the VCR control panels.

To switch devices without switching the source:

1 Open the Device menu.
