Remote Control Setup and Operation

The Model 950 remote control is preprogrammed to operate over 1,000 audio and video components. Programming is accomplished by simply punching in a three digit code number that matches your equipment.

In addition to the Model 950 itself, the remote control can operate up to seven other audio and video devices in your home entertainment system. They are listed below:

TVs, Monitors, Video/LCD Projectors

VCRs, TV/VCR combination units

Cable boxes, Internet set-top boxes

Satellite receivers–DSS, PrimeStar, Dish, DBS, C-Band

Audio receivers, Preamplifiers, Surround processors

Compact disc players, Multi-Disc changers

DVD, Laser disc players

Cassette Tape Players, DAT, MiniDisc, Switchers, Lighting, Home Control Devices, and Line Doublers

For the best performance when operating your remote control, please follow the guidelines listed below.

Remember to point the remote control toward the remote control sensor on the Model 950, not the TV screen. Place the 950 away from strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent light , which can prevent proper operation of the remote control.

Using another remote control of a similar type or placing the Model 950 near equipment which also uses infrared control may cause operational interference.

Do not put objects on the remote control. The buttons of the remote control may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.

Make sure any doors, which may cover the front panel of the 950, do not have colored glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote control operation.

If there is any obstacle between the remote control and the remote control sensor, the remote control will not operate.

The remote control also has many advanced features that can add ease and enjoyment to the operation of your home entertainment system. After becoming familiar with the layout of the buttons on the remote (see page 10), follow the steps below to customize the remote for your particular setup.

Remote Control Setup and Operation

Battery Installation

This remote control uses four AAA 1.5 V batteries (supplied). Please be sure to match the batteries with the (+) and (–) markings inside the battery compart- ment during installation.

To install batteries in the remote control:

1.Open the battery cover by pushing the latch toward the top of the remote and lifting up

2.Insert four (4) AAA batteries into the compartment, being careful to match the polarity shown on the diagram inside.

3.Slide the battery cover straight back in (toward the top of the remote) and push down until it snaps into place.

Note: Do not mix new and old batteries or different kinds of batter- ies. To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for one month or more. Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion.

Under normal conditions the life of the batteries supplied is about six months, but this may vary depending on usage.

The remote control will retain its programmed memory for up to one year after the batteries are removed, and up to ten years after the batteries go “dead”.

Setup Using Preprogrammed Codes

Each of the Source Selection Buttons can be programmed to operate a particular audio or video component in your system. The AUD button is used exclusively for control of the Model 950. More detailed information can be found in the section “Operation.”

More than one setup code number may work with your device. You should test the functions for each of the code numbers that work with your device to determine the best one for your particular unit.

Note: Some devices, such as CD players and DVD Decks that do not have POWER buttons on their original remote controls, may not shut off during programming. For these devices, it may be necessary to first store the setup code number and then test functions like PLAY, STOP, etc., to determine if the correct number has been selected.

If your system has more than one VCR for example, any available Source button can be used to select that device. Use the steps below to program the remaining seven source buttons (TV, VCR, SAT, CBL, CD, DVD, and AUX) to program the remote control for your devices.

To program using Three Digit Codes:

1.Turn on the device you would like the remote control to operate, either manually or with its original remote control.

2.Find the three digit setup code number for your device from the tables on pages 41-44.

3.Press the corresponding Source button and the MUTE button on the remote control simultaneously.

The red LED and the selected Source button will illuminate.

Note: The selected button and LED will remain lit for approxi- mately 10 seconds to indicate that the remote control is ready to be programmed. The following steps must be entered while they are lit. If the lights go out, simply press the Source and MUTE but- ton again to re-enter the setup code.
