CHAPTER 3

Remote Control

Think of the TGIII remote control as ten remotes in one. There are ten DEVICE buttons, fi ve on either side of the display, and each allows the remote to operate one piece of equip- ment.

From the factory, the device buttons are labeled: CD, TAPE, AUX, ZONE2, TGIII, DVD, VCR, SAT, TV and CABLE.

Only the TGIII and ZONE2 buttons are pre-programmed, and these allow the remote to operate your TGIII. The remote can be set to operate your other remote controlled equipment. This is done in three ways from the hidden SETUP menu:

1.Entering a code from the tables at the end of this manual

2.Stepping through the codes

3.Learning from your other remotes

LCD Display

The top line shows the present device, mode or status, and it shows when a remote command is being transmitted. The bottom line shows the page number, status and basic instructions during programming.

This button will return the re-

mote display back to the Main menu. Depending on which mode you are in, it may take two or more presses. This will help you get back to the Main menu if you ever get lost in the menus.

M1 M2 M3 MACROS

The main part of the display shows the labels of the ten DEVICE buttons. You can change any label and customize the remote to fi t your system. Note: this is not a touch-sensitive screen, just a way of labeling the device buttons on each side, and showing instructions and status.

Contrast

The contrast of the display can be changed by holding down the MAIN button and pressing the joystick pad UP or DOWN.

FAV

This button allows you to step through fi ve display pages of your favorite TV and radio stations. These can be set and re-labeled to suit.

Joystick Pad

This pad and surrounding buttons are used to operate standard DVD menus, and VCR and Tape transport controls. In TGIII mode, if you press MENU, the On Screen Display will appear and the joystick can be used to select and adjust the various items.

M1, M2 and M3 Macros

These MACRO buttons can be programmed to send out a sequence of commands with a single press.

Batteries

The remote takes four AAA batteries inside the rear compartment. These should last about six months in normal use, before a low-battery warning appears.
