example, if the code number is 021, the light will blink 10 times (for “0”), pause two seconds, blink two times (for “2”), pause two seconds, and then blink one time (for “1”).

Controlling Other Components Using the AUX Button

Some additional features are available when the remote control is in the AUX mode.

Volume Control in AUX Mode

When the remote control is in TV, VCR, or SAT mode, the volume keys control the TV’s volume. When the remote control is in AUX mode,the volume keys control the auxiliary device’s volume. If your auxiliary device does not have audio output, you can program the volume keysto control the TV’s volume when your remote control is in AUX mode by performing the following steps:

1)Press the “AUX” key and the “Mute” key simultaneously.

2)Press the “Volume Up” key.

Once you perform these steps, whenever your remote control is in AUX mode the volume keys will control the television volume. In the event that you reprogram the “AUX” key to control a different component at some future time, you can restore the remote control’s capability to control the auxiliary component’s volume by simply repeating these two steps.

Assigning a Device to a Different Device Key

You can assign a device to a device key that has a different label. For example, you can assign a second TV to the “AUX” key:

1)While holding down the “AUX” key, press the “Mute” key. Then release both keys.

2)Press the device key associated with the type of device you wish to assign to the AUX key. In this example, you would press the TV key.

3)Enter the correct code. (To determine the code, use either the code scan or code entry method described earlier.)

4)Press the “AUX” key. The new device code is now stored in the “AUX” key, and the “AUX” key now controls the second TV.
