Welcome to the Ultimate Control Experience!

Your new AT8550 AllTouch® Universal Remote Control (remote) is a true universal

remote, functioning as five remotes in one. As one example, you can use this remote to

operate your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable box, and receiver.

Important Information About Your Remote

Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your cable box. The Volume and

Mute keys will not work until a TV code is programmed into the remote. You must

program the remote to operate your TV, VCR, etc. See Program the Remote to

Control My Devices to learn how to enter device codes and program your remote.

How Does A Universal Remote Control Work?

You tell the remote which type of device you want to operate using the five keys arched

across the top of the remote. These keys, known as mode keys, are labeled CBL, TV,

VCR, DVD, and AUX. Each mode key is associated with a specific device. As an

example, 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.

Note: Some remote keys may not operate in all modes. You can even program your

remote to assign specific functions, such as channel control, to operate one device only.

You will learn more about these advanced functions later in this guide.

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

Timing is often important when you program advanced features. Therefore, knowing

where certain keys are on the remote gives you an edge in pressing the right key at the

right time.

Important Information About Power Control

Scientific-Atlanta strongly recommends that you turn off your cable box every time you

turn off your TV. To make this easier, you can program your remote to turn both devices

on or off at the same time. After you program the remote to control your four favorite

entertainment devices, see Change Power Control to learn more about programming

your remote to control power for the TV and cable box at the same time.

Find a Place to Store Your Remote

Keeping up with one remote is much easier than keeping up with five remotes. However,

it is still a good idea to find a storage location for your remote. The AT8550 is not a toy.

It should be kept out of the reach of children under the age of 6 years.
