Note

The Commander can be set up to operate only one component of each category (TV or VCR) at a time — unless their code numbers happen to be the same. For example, you cannot set up the Commander to operate a Sony TV and a Panasonic TV at the same time (because they use different code numbers).

Installing the Batteries

Slide open the battery compartment and insert two R6 (size AA) batteries (not supplied).

Be sure to line up the + and – on the batteries with the + and – on the battery compartment.

3 When the component powers off, check that the commander is operating the other functions of your component, such as programme and volume control.

If the Commander Doesn’t Seem to Be Working...

•First, try repeating these setup procedures using the other codes listed for your component (see “Component Code Numbers”).

•If — after trying all the codes listed for your component — you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, try the search method described under “Searching for the Correct Code”.

See “Remote Button Descriptions” for complete descriptions of the buttons on the Commander.
