Using the Remote Control

Reference

Programming the remote control for use with your audio/video devices

Device code setup

1.Refer to the Device code table on pages 18–21 to find the code for your device.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find the one that works.

2.Press MODE until the mode indicator of the device (CABLE/ SAT, VCR, DVD, AUDIO1, AUDIO2) lights up.

3.While holding down RECALL, press the CHANNEL NUMBERS to enter the four-digit code for your device. Release the buttons.

If a valid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink twice. If an invalid code is entered, there will be one long blink.

4.Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test the code.

If the device turns on, you have entered the right code.

If the device does not respond to the remote control, you may have entered an invalid code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another code.

5.To control the TV, press MODE until TV mode lights up.

Searching and sampling the code of a device (991)

If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you can cycle the remote control through the available codes for that device and sample functions to find the code that operates the device. The keys available to be sampled, provided they are applicable to that mode, are 0, 1, 2, 3, POWER, VOL y, CH y, PLAY, and STOP. Invalid keys will be ignored while in program mode.

To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:

1.Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.

2.While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 1 in sequence. The remote control will enter program mode.

3.Point the remote control at the device, and then press POWER (or other function buttons that are available to be sampled).

4.If the device responds to the remote control:

Press RECALL to store the device code.

The mode indicator will blink two times, and the remote control will exit the program mode.

If the device does not respond to the remote control: Press y, and then press POWER.

Repeat this step until the device responds to the remote control, and then press RECALL.

Note: When a search cycle is done, the mode indicator will blink three times. The remote control will begin to cycle through the available codes again. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while programming, the remote control will exit the program mode and return to the previous code.

Note:

•Every time you replace the batteries, you must reprogram the remote control.

•Some newer VCRs are capable of working on either of two remote codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”

If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to any of the codes for your VCR brand, set the switch to the other position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.
