Using the Remote Control
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list at the end of this
section.
3. On your remote control, press and hold the component button you want to program.
4. While pressing the component button, enter a code from the code list.
5. Release the component button, and then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to
the remote control commands. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then
ON•OFF again.
6. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the
component responds to the remote control commands.
Operating Other Components
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to
operate your components.
To Operate the Component:
1. Press the component button (TV, VCR1, SAT, VCR2, or AUX) to set the
remote to control the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component on or off.
3. Use the remote control buttons that apply to that component.
Modes of Operation
Because this universal remote can control several different components (DVD
player, VCR, cable box, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the
component buttons. For example, if you want the remote control to operate the
TV, press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode. If you want to play a
videotape, press VCR1 then PLAY (pointing the remote at the VCR).
Controlling a Second Satellite Receiver
The remote can control two satellite receivers. From the Main menu, select
System Setup, then System Options, then Remote Setup. Then follow the on-
screen instructions and enter the appropriate code from the Satellite Receiver
list at the end of this section. By default, the SAT button is used to control the
first satellite receiver and the AUX button is used to control the second satellite
receiver.
If your second receiver is an RCA, GE, or Proscan and you want to control it
using the AUX button, use code 5001. Code 5000 is used by the SAT button.
One Button Recording
If your remote is programmed to
operate a VCR, and the VCR is
properly connected to the satellite
receiver, you only need to press
the RECORD button to begin
recording from video.
