USERS GUIDE

VOLUME LOCK

In its default (unlocked) state, the remote allows each device to control its own volume only in its own mode (e.g., TV volume in the TV mode,VCR volume in VCR mode, etc.). However, using your remote’s Volume Lock feature, you can adjust the volume for a certain device (e.g., TV) while in a different mode (e.g.,VCR). For example, if you’re watching a movie on your VCR, you can adjust the volume on your TV without first pressing TV.

You can further customize the setting by unlock- ing the volume controls (see “To Cancel the Volume Lock Across All Modes” on page 28), so your device’s volume controls are unlocked in one mode, but locked in all other modes.

To lock the volume control to the TV while in another mode (VCR, DVD, SAT, AUD or CD mode):

1.Hold down P for at least 3 seconds. The bottom of the IR Indicator blinks twice, and a circle appears around P.

2.Press 9 9 3. The bottom of the IR Indicator blinks twice.

3.Press TV and the bottom part of the IR Indicator blinks twice. Now you can control VOL+/- or MUTE functions of your TV while in other modes.

To unlock the volume control for a specific mode:
