Using the Remote Control

The remote control operates the TV, your cable or satellite set-top-box, your DVD/VCR, and your HP Media Center PC (HP PC). Refer to “Identifying the Remote Control buttons” on page 8 for information on the remote control buttons.

NOTE: Use the remote control within a distance of 16.4 feet (5 meters) from the front of the TV remote control sensor window and at the maximum horizontal and vertical angles of 30°.

To use the remote control:

1Press the TV, CBL/SAT, DVD/VCR, or HP.PC button to select the home entertainment component (TV, set-top-box, DVD/VCR, or HP MCPC) to control.

2Aim the remote control at the remote control sensor of the selected home entertainment component, and then press the button you want to use.

Programming the remote control for component control

Programming the component code

1Turn on the TV. Turn on the cable or satellite set-top-box, VCR, or DVD and, if applicable, insert media (a cassette or a disc).

NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. We recommend highlighting or writing down the codes and device you wish to program before performing step 2.

2On the remote control, press CBL/SAT button or DVD/VCR button once. Press and hold SETUP until the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP.

3Use the Manufacturer’s Codes (see listing that follows) to locate the type of component by brand name and then enter the first four-digit code for your component. If performed correctly, the red light blinks twice.

NOTE: If the red light did not blink twice, then repeat steps 2 and 3, entering the code again.

4Aim the remote control at the component and press PWR once. The component should turn off. If it does not respond, repeat steps 2 and 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try searching for the code; see “Searching for the component code“ on page 34.

NOTE: If the device does not have a power button, press PLAY.

5Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each component you want to control with the remote control.
