Using the Remote Control

USING THE SEARCH METHOD TO PROGRAM YOUR TV REMOTE

Your TV remote can be set to work various accessory devices (VCRs, cable convert-

ers, and satellite receivers, for example) by what is called the Search Method.

NOTE: The Search Method works only with devices equipped with channel-display indi- cators on the devices themselves or the abili- ty to show channel numbers on the TV screen. If the Code-entry Method (shown in the previous section) did not enable your TV remote to work your accessory device, then follow the easy steps listed below. Please read the steps once before performing them.

1 Turn on the desired device. Press and hold down the VCR or ACC (for an accessory device other than a VCR) mode button on the TV remote. Then press and hold down the SURF button as you hold down the desired mode (VCR or ACC) button.

NOTE: For correct operation, you must press and hold down the desired mode (VCR or ACC) button first and then press and hold down the SURF button second.

While holding down the SURF and the desired mode (VCR or ACC) buttons simultaneously, point the remote toward the accessory device and continue holding the buttons down.

2 Watch the Channel Indicator on your accessory device. Channel num- bers will scan up when the TV remote has identified the correct code for your accessory device. This may take several minutes.

3 Release the mode (VCR or ACC) and SURF buttons as soon as chan- nel numbers start to scan up. The scanning means that your TV remote has found the code for your accessory device.

NOTE: If no channel change happens after several minutes, repeat steps 1 and

2.Then if a channel change still does not occur, the remote will not work with the desired accessory device.

HELPFUL HINTS

The remote’s back light will blink as the remote moves through its product code list. After the remote identifies the product code for your accessory device and you release the remote buttons, the back light will blink twice.

Your TV remote may locate the accessory device’s code quickly or within several minutes.

Don’t let the accessory device scan up more than five channels when the correct code is found— the remote may pass up the right code and have to repeat the search cycle.
