Where Do I Start?

Before you begin using your remote, complete the following initial setup tasks.

Install the Batteries

The remote requires two AA batteries (alkaline recommended). A diagram in the battery compartment of the remote indicates proper placement of the batteries. When batteries are properly installed, the light on the remote blinks each time a key is pressed.

Visit the Quick Reference Section

Use the Quick Reference section of this guide to familiarize yourself with the remote and the functions of its various keys. Knowing the function and location of the keys on the remote will assist you when you are programming the remote.

Program the Remote

To learn how to program your remote, refer to the sections What Devices Can I Control, What Devices Do I Want to Control, and Program the Remote to Control My Devices for further instructions.

Find a Place to Store Your Remote

Keeping up with one remote is much easier than keeping up with four or ﬁve remotes. However, it is still a good idea to ﬁnd a storage location for your remote. The AT6400 is not a toy. It should be kept out of the reach of children under the age of 6 years.

Program the Remote to Control My Devices

Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your set-top. You will need to set up the remote to operate your other devices using its TV, DVD, and AUX modes. The TV key may be programmed to operate a standard or high-deﬁnition television (HDTV). The DVD key may be programmed to operate a DVD player. The AUX key may be programmed to operate a VCR, a receiver, an ampliﬁer, or a Home Theater in a Box (HTIB) system. If the remote provides only limited functionality for

a device, you can look for a code that provides more functionality. Refer to the code tables at the end of this guide to locate additional programming codes.

Note: You have the option to assign some remote keys to operate one device type only. For example, you may want to assign volume control to the TV only. If this is the case, you can reprogram power, volume, and channel control using procedures found later in this guide.

Assigning a Device Code to a Mode Key

1.Refer to the code tables at the end of this guide to locate the information for the device you want to program.

Note: If your device is not listed, you may be able to program the remote using the Auto-Search function. Go to What If None of the Codes Work for instructions.

2.Turn on the device that you want to assign to a mode key.

3.Press and hold the appropriate mode key (TV, DVD, or AUX) on the remote, and then press and hold the OK key.

4.Release both keys and the mode keys blink twice.

5.Enter the ﬁrst 4-digit setup code for the device using the numeric keys (0-9) on the remote. The mode key blinks three times to indicate that the code entry was accepted.

Notes:

•When an invalid code is entered, the selected mode key displays a long ﬂash to indicate that you have not entered the code correctly.

•Should the remote time-out before you complete the code setup, you must start over. This is indicated by one long ﬂash of the red LED.

6.Point the remote at the device, and press POWER to test the device.7.Did the device power off?

•If yes, write this code number in the table found in this guide. You may need it again if the device code is accidentally erased.

•If no, repeat this procedure from step 3 using a different setup code.

Note: If none of the codes listed for your brand of device operate the device correctly, go to What If None of the Codes Work for instructions.

8.Repeat this procedure for each mode key you want to program.

What If None of the Codes Work?

If none of the codes listed for your brand of device operate the device correctly, or if your device is not listed in the codes table, you can use the Auto-Search function to search through the code library for a valid code. This section provides procedures for using the Auto-Search function to search the code library for TV, DVD and AUX mode codes.

Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your set-top. Therefore, you must program the remote to operate your TV, VCR, or other devices. See Program the Remote to Control My Devices to learn how to enter device codes and program your remote.

Note: You must use the IR remote within line of sight of the set-top to operate the set-top correctly.

How Does A Universal Remote Control Work?

You tell the remote which type of device you want to operate using the four keys arched across the top of the remote. These keys, known as mode keys, are labeled STB, TV, DVD, and AUX. Each mode key is associated with a speciﬁc device. As an example, after programming the remote, if you want the remote to operate your TV, you simply press the TV key. Other keys you press on the remote, thereafter, should operate your TV. Want to switch the remote to operate a different device? Just press the mode key for the next device you want to operate. In this guide, you will learn which types of devices you can control and how to program the remote to control your speciﬁc devices.
