5.Once the second number is entered, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.

!TIP: Any keypress other than the number keys is ignored. If you don’t enter the sleep time within 10 seconds after pressing the SLEEP key, you must start over at step 1. The illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times and then turns off, indicating your attempt to program the Sleep Timer has been unsuccessful.

6.The Sleep Timer is now set.

7.Leave remote aimed at the TV. Once the Sleep Timer is set, you can continue to use the remote without affecting the Sleep Timer. However, because the timing mechanism for the Sleep Timer is built into the remote itself, the remote must be in TV Mode and pointed at the TV to activate the Sleep Timer.

CANCELING THE SLEEP TIMER

1.The Sleep Timer program will be canceled and reset to zero by pressing and releasing the

ON•OFF key.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The remote does not operate your component.

You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so the remote knows which component you want to operate.

Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component. Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.

Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. (See Battery Installation on page 3.)

Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.

Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold the number 1 key on the remote for several seconds to reset the microprocessor inside the remote. Release

the number 1 key, reinstall the batteries, and press the ON•OFF key. If it lights up, reprogram the remote and try again. If it doesn’t light up, replace the batteries with new ones.

Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate your component.

If you are testing the remote after you have entered the code, you may be too far away from the component or at a wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) technology to communicate with components. The remote sends the code, and the component’s IR sensor reads the code. Therefore, there must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the component. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at the component (VCR or DVD player when programming the VCR•DVD key; TV when programming the TV key; cable box or satellite receiver when you’re programming the SAT•CBL key).

If you’ve used the Direct Entry programming methods to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning properly, try one of the Code Search methods. (See Code Search Methods on pages 7 and 9.)

To control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you must program both the TV key and the VCR•DVD key. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV
