4.16 Using a Cable or Satellite Remote

Your VIZIO remote uses codes 11758 and 10178 to work your Plasma HDTV. To use a cable or satellite remote to work the Plasma HDTV, refer to your cable or satellite remote user guide for more information on how to program the remote. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 5-digit code (like most Direct TV units), first try 11758 and then, if that does not work, 10178. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 4- digit code, try 1758 and then 0178 as an alternative. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 3-digit code (Echostar or Dish Network for example), use code 627.

Note: Some buttons may not function as expected on your cable or satellite remote. Typically power, volume and mute will work.
