Notes:

All functions in competitive models and brands of products may not be fully supported.

The remote will automatically time out in Menu

Mode and the lighted component key will stop blinking after approximately 10 seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). For DVD menus, the Menu Mode will time

out after approximately 15 seconds.

Because of the wide variety of menu formats, some experimenting may be required.

Exiting a Menu System

To exit Menu Mode, press the corresponding component key on the remote (TV, VCR, DVD•AUX, or DBS•CABLE). The lighted component key turns off and the remote reverts to its normal mode of operation.

Troubleshooting

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

•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 when programming the VCR key; TV when programming the TV key; cable box or satellite receiver when you’re programming the DBS•CABLE key; DVD Player when programming the DVD•AUX key).

•If you’ve entered all of the codes for your brand that are in the accompanying Code List and followed the instructions, try one of the Code Search methods (See Code Search on page 9).

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

•To program the 4 component universal remote to operate a combination unit (TV/VCR or TV/DVD), first try the VCR or DVD codes for your brand. Some units, however, require that you program both the TV key (using the TV codes) and the VCR or DVD•AUX key (using the VCR or DVD codes) for full operation.

•To program the 4 component universal remote to operate a combination unit (VCR/DVD), program the VCR key using the VCR codes and then program the DVD•AUX key using the DVD codes.
