Controlling Other Components In Your System

Exactly what your remotes do when controlling other components will depend on what compo- nents you have and how the remotes are custom-programmed. If your remotes have not been set up for your specific system, you’ll find the Master remote already programmed to control various popular TVs, DVD players, VCRs and more, so that its device-control pages can give you some idea of how it might be re-programmed to control your system.

Even when the remotes are customized, however, the printed buttons will usually have the following functions:

Previous
Channel	Channel
Guide	Selection
Menu
Players &
Recorders

Keypad

•The buttons surrounding the Master remote’s thumbpad are labeled for use as transport con- trols for DVD players, VCRs, tape decks, etc., and will ordinarily be used as such, controlling whichever device’s control pages are active.

•MENU, if pressed while any of the C1/C2 pages is on the display, will put the C 1 in setup mode, as described in the chapter on “Adjustments, Menus, and Setup.”

•CH + and CH – can be programmed to change channels on whatever device or devices you use for station selection. If, for example, you used both a satellite-dish tuner and a cable tuner, these buttons could control channel selection for whichever one was currently shown on the Master remote’s display, and control station selection when the current device was your FM/AM tuner. You might, however, find it more convenient, if you have only one tunable device, to program these buttons to tune that device at all times, no matter what device is shown on the remote’s display.
