Accessing Device Menus and Guides

Many devices use on-screen menus and guides to help you navigate through all their features and programming. While this remote may not access every menu or guide system of every device model, it does offer some menu and guide functionality.

To use a device’s on-screen menu or guide system, you first have to put the remote in Menu or Guide Mode.

1.Make sure your devices are turned on and your TV is set to the correct device input (use the INPUT key to toggle through inputs when in TV Mode.)

2.Press the device key whose menu you want to access.

3.To access menus, press the MENU key. To access guides, press the GUIDE key. The ON•OFF key starts blinking, indicating you are in Menu or Guide Mode.

4. Use the VOL+/- and CH+/- keys to navigate through the on-screen menu system or guide. To select the highlighted item, press the OK key.

TIP: If the remote doesn’t respond, check to see that the ON•OFF key is still blinking. The ON•OFF key times out after 20 seconds. If this happens, just press the MENU key again, and then retry your selection.

Exiting Menu/Guide Mode

The remote automatically times out of Menu or Guide Mode after 20 seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that time, the remote clears the displayed menu from the TV.

If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the corresponding device key on the remote (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, VCR•AUX). The ON•OFF key turns off.

Changing A Key’s Device Type

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters, DVD for DVD players, and VCR•AUX for VCRs or DVRs. To program these keys to control a different kind of device, you have to reassign them first.

Code Retrieval

Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your devices, you may want to record the codes for future reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just find the codes you entered and make a note of them in the boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method but don’t remember the code, you will need to retrieve each device’s five-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and writing it down will save you time if you ever need to program the remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when you change the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use the Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your devices, which is quick and easy.

ON•OFF key		1. Press and hold the device
		key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD,
		VCR•AUX) whose code you
		VCR•AUX) whose code you
		wish to retrieve. The ON•OFF
		key turns on. Keep pressing the
		device key.

2.While holding the device key down, press and hold the INFO key. The ON•OFF key turns off. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the ON•OFF key turns back on.

3.Release both keys. The ON•OFF key remains on.

4.Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9, then

0. The number that causes the ON•OFF key to blink is the first number of the code. As you find each number of the code, write it down for future reference.

Note: All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR and DVR codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3; and all satellite receivers, cable boxes and digital TV converters, the number 5.

5.Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all five numbers in the code. After the fifth number is retrieved, the ON•OFF key blinks briefly, then turns off.

TIP: To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the GO BACK key.

Note: If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval process, the remote will not respond. If you do not press a valid Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, VCR•AUX, INFO, GO BACK), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The ON•OFF key blinks four times, and then turns off.

Reassigning the VCR•AUX Key To Control Other

Devices

The VCR•AUX key defaults to control a VCR or DVR. If you want the VCR•AUX key to control a different device (an additional TV, DVD, satellite, cable box or digital TV converter, for example), you must reassign it.

1.Press and hold the VCR•AUX key. The ON•OFF key turns on.

2.While holding down the VCR•AUX key, press and release the number key on the keypad for the device you wish to control

(see the chart below). The ON•OFF key turns off.
