SETTING THE TV REMOTE TO WORK ACCESSORY DEVICES

SEARCH METHOD

Your TV remote can be set to work various accessory devices (VCRs,

cable converters, and satellite receivers, for example) by what is called the Search Method. NOTE: The Search Method works only with devices equipped with Channel Display Indicators or that capability. If the Direct Access code number method (shown in the previ- ous section) did not enable your TV remote to work your accessory device, then follow the easy steps listed below. Please read the steps once before per-

forming them.

BEGIN

Turn on the desired device. Press and hold down the VCR or ACC (for an accessory device other than a VCR) mode button on the TV remote. Then press and hold down the SURF button as you hold down the desired mode (VCR or ACC) button.

NOTE: You must press and hold down the desired mode (VCR or ACC) button first and then press and hold down the SURF button second.

While holding down the SURF and the desired mode (VCR or ACC) buttons at the same time, point the remote toward the accesso-

ry device and continue holding the buttons down.

NOTE: The remote’s back light will blink as the remote moves through its product code list. After the remote identifies the product code for your accessory device and you release the remote buttons, the back light will blink twice.

Watch the Channel Indicator on your accessory device. Channel num- bers will scan up when the TV remote has identified the correct code for your accessory device. This may take several minutes.

Release the mode (VCR or ACC)

and SURF buttons as soon as chan- nel numbers start to scan up. The scanning means that your TV remote has found the code for your accessory device.

SMART HELP

• Your TV remote may locate the accessory device’s

code quickly or require several minutes to do so.

Don’t let the accessory device scan up more than five channels when the correct code is found—the remote may pass up the right code and have to repeat the search cycle.

If no channel change happens after several minutes, repeat steps 1–4. Then if a channel change still does not occur, the remote will not work the desired accessory device.
