14 Using the remote control
Programming the 
remote control
You can operate your TV, VCR, SAT, AUX device, or DVD (HRMC-11 and 
HRMC-12 only) devices using your remote control. Use the Code Entry or 
Code Scanning method to program the remote control. Using the Code entry 
method may be quicker, but you’ll need to know the correct manufacturer’s 
control codes for each component you want to operate. Code scanning may be 
more time-consuming, but you don’t need to know manufacturer’s control 
codes.
1. Keep your remote control aimed at the device you want to control during 
this process. The remote control will send out the “power” command for the 
device being programmed. 
2. Press and hold the device key (for example,
 TV)
3. Press press the 
MUTE key for two seconds. 
4. Release both keys.
The device key should light and remain lit. If it doesn’t remain lit, repeat
steps 1 through 4 above.
5. Choose one of the programming methods described below:
Code Entry
Use the REMOTE pane under the System Setup menu tab to program your 
HRMC-11, HRMC-12, or HRMC-13 remote control to operate your TV, VCR, 
SAT, AUX device, or DVD (HRMC-11 and HRMC-12 only). The AUX menu 
button can be used to control a CATV box or other type of device. Use the menu 
buttons to choose the desired type of device and display a brand name menu list 
from which you can select the manufacturer of your device. 
Device codes appear in the menu pane for the brand selected. Step-by-step 
onscreen help guides you through the procedure. Appendix B – Manufacturers 
device control codes, on page 41 also provides a complete list of device codes.
