Controlling the rest of your system

Setting the remote to control other components

There are several ways to set your remote to control the other components in your system. The easiest way to do this is to assign the component’s manufacturer preset code (listed on page 55) to one of the MULTI CONTROL buttons on the remote control.

The buttons can be set to control the following components:

Button

Controllable Components

 

 

 

 

 

DVD:

DVD or LD player

 

TV:

TV or Satellite tuner

 

VCR:

VCR or Digital Video Recorder

 

CD:

CD player

 

CD-R:

CD Recorder, Tape deck

 

 

or MD player

 

TVC:

TV or Cable TV tuner

 

TUN:

You can do this directly, or by searching through different preset codes until you find the right one. If you can’t find a preset code that matches the component you want to control, you can still teach the remote individual commands from another remote control (page 49–50).

You can cancel or exit any of the steps by pressing and holding MUTE for three seconds.
