Helpful Hints

The remote control may only operate some features of your Cable Box/DBS. For example, the remote control may turn off the Cable Box/DBS power, but it may not change channels at the Cable Box/DBS.

If you can not change the channels at the Cable Box by using the Number buttons, press the VCR PLUS+/ENTER button after you press the Number buttons. It may change channels at the Cable Box.

When you replace the batteries in the remote control, you will have to program the remote control again.

Remember to point the remote con- trol toward the Cable Box/DBS dur- ing steps 1-6.

Some Cable Boxes can only be turned on at the Cable Box.
