The RV-8 remote control can operate up to 10 home entertainment and home automation components by using the preprogrammed code library in the remote control, by teaching up to 530 commands into the RV-8 remote from your original remote controls, or a combination of both. The RV-8 remote has many additional operating features to add convenience and enjoyment to the operation of any home entertainment system. You can create your own button labels on the LCD screen; program 50 favorite channel buttons; operate the volume, channel and transport buttons from one device when you are in another device; and perform multiple tasks with the press of a single button.

The RV-8 remote control features extensive preprogrammed IR codes for practically all major audio and video equipment. It can set up and operate various components by simply entering a threedigit code number assigned to the brand of component. The code numbers for the various brands of components are listed beginning on page C-18.Refer to the programming instructions on page C-5for additional information.

DEVICE ACTIVATION

In addition to controlling the RV-8, the remote is designed to operate up to seven components including Satellite Boxes, TV, DVD (LD), VCR, CD and Phono. Remote control buttons perform different commands depending on whether the Main Zone, Zone 2, Zone 3 or another device is activated.

However, each of the device buttons and corresponding functions cab be changed to meet individual requirements.

The Phono function could be used to operate lighting controls; the second DVD (DVD2) could be changed to operate a second TV, etc. Each device button on the main screen contains two subpages of commands and the name of any LCD button can be changed, using up to five alphabet characters, numbers and symbols to customize the unit to fit your audio/video devices.
