Using the Remote to Control Additional Components

You can set up your remote to control a TV of another brand. You simply need to enter the code into the remote control. (not necessary for recent RCA & Proscan models).

1.Turn on the component to be programmed.

2.Look up the brand and corresponding code number in the code list.

3.Press and hold the TV button on the remote while enter- ing the code from the code list using the Number Buttons.

14

4.Release the component button, then press the ON•OFF button to see if the component turns off.

5.If this does not work, repeat steps 3 and 4 by trying to use the next code (if available) listed for the brand of your component until the component responds to the remote command.

Volume punchthrough

By default, the VOL+/VOL- and MUTE buttons will only control the DVD receiver, regardless which mode (TV, VCR, etc) the receiver is in.

By programming the volume punchthrough function, you can also control the volume of the TV.

NOTE: Controlling the TV volume can only be done in TV, VCR and SAT.CABLE mode, not in DVD/CD and TUNER mode.

To activate the volume punchthrough function, follow the pro- cedures below:

1.Press and hold the VOL- button.

2.While pressing it, press the device button (TV, VCR or SAT.CABLE) that you are programming the volume punchthrough. The red led will turn off.

4.While you are still pressing the VOL- button, press the device button that you want the volume command to punch through from, the red led will turn on until the VOL- button is released.

5.Removing the batteries will reset the remote such that once again the receiver VOL+/-/MUTE codes are sent in TV mode.

Note: If an invalid key is pressed, the remote led blinks four times, then you will have to start over again.

NOTE

Once your remote is encoded, you can press ON/OFF on the remote once to turn off the com- ponent and then followed by the second time quickly to turn off the receiver (i.e. this unit). If you only want the receiver to be turned off, select TUNER or DVD/CD while the unit is ON before pressing ON/OFF.

HINT

This remote may not operate all models of the brands shown.

If batteries are removed from the battery compart- ment of the remote control, all memory may be lost. If this is the case, you will need to re-enter all previously programmed codes again.

The remote buttons may not work exactly like the original remote buttons for components of other brands. Experiment with the remote and your com- ponents to see which buttons work. If only a few functions work, you may try another code to check if more buttons work.
