Remote Control Setup and Operation
The Model 1070 remote control is preprogrammed with remote codes for 1,000 audio and video components. Programming is accomplished by simply punch- ing in a four-digit code number that matches your equipment.
In addition to the Model 1070 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 Projectors
VCRs, TV/VCR combination units
Cable boxes, Internet set-top boxes
Satellite receivers—DirecTV, Dish Network, Primestar, DBS, C-band
Audio receivers, preamplifiers, surround processors
Compact disc players, multi-disc changers
DVD, laserdisc players
Cassette tape players, DAT, MiniDisc, switchers, lighting, home control devices, and video scalers
For the best performance when operating your remote control, please follow the guidelines below:
Remember to point the remote control toward the remote control sensor on the Model 1070, not toward the TV screen. Place the 1070 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 1070 near equipment which also uses infrared control may cause operational interfer- ence.
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 covering the front of the 1070 do not have colored or smoked 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 pages 10-11), follow the steps below to customize the remote for your particular setup.
Battery Installation
The remote control uses two AA 1.5-volt alkaline batteries (supplied). Please be sure to match the batteries with the + and - markings inside the battery compartment during installation.
Note: Do not mix new and old batteries or different kinds off batter- ies. To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for one month or more. Remove dead batteries immedi- ately to avoid damage from corrosion.
To install batteries in the remote control:
1.On the back of the remote, push the tab and lift off the battery cover.
2.Insert two new AA alkaline batteries. Match the + and - marks on the batteries to the + and - marks in the battery case.
3.Press the battery cover back into place. The tab should click when the cover is locked.
4.Test the unit by pressing PWR and any mode key (i.e., AUX, CBL, etc.). If the batteries are inserted correctly, the LED will blink once.
Note: The batteries will usually last about six months under normal use. When batteries need replacement, the remote will blink twice with every key press. Simply replace them and the remote control will be restored to its full functionality, including favorite settings.
Setup Using Preprogrammed Codes
The Model 1070 remote can be programmed to operate other audio or video components in your system. The TNR button is used exclusively for control of the Model 1070. To program the remote to control another device, you must enter a four-digit code. Codes for a wide variety of devices and brands are provided in the following pages. 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.
The procedure for setting up the Model 1070 remote to control a TV/VCR is different—see Programming TV/VCR Control below.
NOTE: Some devices, such as CD players and DVD players 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.
To program using four-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 four-digit setup code number for your device from the tables on pages 44 to 49.
3.Press the Device Control Selector button on the Model 1070 remote that corresponds to the device you want to control.
You can choose from CBL, AUX, VCR, TV, SAT, CD, or AMP.
NOTE: The codes for controlling DVD players are programmed into the AUX button.
4.Press and hold SETUP on the remote until the red LED at the top of the remote blinks twice, then release SETUP.
5.Enter the first four-digit code for your component.
The LED should blink twice. If it does not, then repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 above, using the same code.
6.Aim the remote at the component and press PWR once.
The component should turn off. If it does not respond, repeat steps 3, 4, and 5, 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 Your Code, below).
7.Repeat the process for other components you wish to control with the Model 1070 remote.
