Adding devices to your system (Add mode)

If you have a device that isn’t on the Device menu—for example, a second VCR, or a new flat-panel TV—you can add it by using Add mode. In Add mode, you can:

•Create a new device using a built-in device template.

•Create a copy of one of the devices in your Device menu.

•Restore a previously deleted device.

When you copy an existing device or create a new device from a template, you decide whether to copy the built-in RC codes or leave the buttons “empty.” Either way, as soon as you add the device the remote control is ready to start learning how to operate it.

NOTE Devices you add to the Device menu automatically appear in Home.

To add a device

1Display any device control panel.

2Switch the remote control to Add mode: Tap the Mode button to

display the Mode menu. Then, tap .

The remote control displays a choice of buttons.
