•How to identify a cable converter

Direct Entry Method

Refer to the following steps and list to quickly find the remote control code for your cable TV converter.

•First look up your converter’s remote code number before going through the Direct Entry Method below.

•If this procedure does not identify your converter, use the Search Method for identification.

(1)Slide CATV /DVD-TV/VCRswitch to CATV.

(2)Press and hold down DISPLAY and CH s on your remote control.

Then release both buttons.

(3)Within 10 seconds after releasing DISPLAY and CH s, enter your converter’s two-digit code number using REMOTE KEYPAD (refer to the list).

•The remote control is now ready to send commands to your converter.

•Some brands have more than one remote code listed due to changes in the remote codes from early to later model years. In such cases, you may have to try more than one code to find the code your converter accepts.

Note:

Depending on the model, year produced, brand, and type of CATV converter, some models may not be compatible with the remote control.

Search Method

(1)Slide CATV /DVD-TV/VCRswitch to CATV.

(2)Press the power button on the cable converter to ON.

(3)Stand at least 6 feet away from the converter. Point the Remote towards the converter. Hold down the DISPLAY and CH a at the same time. KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS DOWN.

(4)Watch the Channel Number indicator on the converter.

Channel numbers will scan up when the converter has been identified.

Release the DISPLAY and CH a as soon as the channel numbers start to scan up.

The converter’s remote control code number has been identified, and the remote is ready to operate the converter.

Tips on identifying your cable converter Be Patient: A minute or two can seem a lot longer when you’re waiting for something to happen, but the code should be identified within 2 minutes. Remember, it is only a one- time set-up.

Be careful not to let the CATV converter scan more than 5 channels when the indicator starts to move up. If you continue holding down the DISPLAY and CH a after 5 channel scans, the proper remote code can be passed up, and the 2 minute identifying cycle will have to be repeated.

If a channel change does not occur on the cable converter within 2 minutes, read the identifying instructions again and repeat the steps. Should a channel change still not occur, the remote will not operate with the desired converter.

Note:

Some satellite receivers can be operated by the REMOTE CONTROL. If you have a Satellite Receiver, you can use the above method to search for available channels.
