REMOTE CONTROL PROCEDURES
CONTROLLING A DEVICE
This section explains how to set up the remote to control a device,
such as a satellite TV receiver, a TV, a VCR, a cable TV box, a tuner,
or an amplifier.
Note: The remote already is set up to control the receiver. But, if the
receiver has its own volume control, then when you first install it, it is
set up so that the remote cannot control the receiver sound volume.
If you want to set up the receiver so that the remote can control the
receiver volume, see Receiver Volume Control on page18.
1.Turn ON the device you want the remote to control, using the
device’s buttons or the remote control that came with the device.

on page22. If the brand is not listed, see Doing the Device Code
Scan on page20.

that you want the remote to control, for about
three seconds. When all the other mode button
backlights come on, release the mode button. For example

2 is for an audio amplifier or cable TV box.
