How Do I Lock My Channel Keys To a Device?

By default, the channel keys on your remote (CH+, CH-, digits 0-9 and Last) allow you to change channels on the set- top, the TV, or a VCR, depending on the current mode. You can disable or enable channel control for the TV or VCR mode. Also, if you have reassigned your AUX key to control a second TV or VCR, you can disable or enable channel control for that device as well. See Can I Program My Mode Keys to Control Other Devices on page 34 for more information.

If you disable the channel control for a TV or VCR, then the channel keys in that mode will control channels on the set-top.
