Modes of Operation

Because this universal remote can control several different components (DVD player, VCR, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the mode switch. For example, if you want the remote control to operate the TV, set the mode switch to TV to put the remote into TV mode. If you've programmed the AV1 position to operate your DVD player, and you want the remote to operate the DVD player, set the mode switch to the AV1 position.
