Welcome to the Ultimate Control Experience! Your new AT8550™ AllTouch® Universal Remote Control (remote) is a true universal remote, functioning as five remotes in one. As one example, you can use this remote to operate your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable box, and receiver. Important Information About Your Remote Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your cable box. The Volume and Mute keys will not work until a TV code is programmed into the remote.

What Devices Can I Control? The mode keys arched across the top of the remote tell the remote which device you want to operate. Each mode key is associated with different groups of devices. You can use each mode key to control one of its associated devices: Mode Key Associated Devices CBL .......... cable boxes, HDTV tuners, and satellite devices T11208 TV ............. TVs and HDTVs VCR ......... VCRs, digital video recorders (DVRs), DVD players, and CD players DVD ..........
Reassigning Mode Keys (Program Code 9 9 2) 1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice. 2. Press 9 9 2. The CBL mode key blinks twice. 3. Press the mode key associated with the type of device you want to control, and then press the mode key that you want to change. All mode keys blink three times. Some Common Examples • To program the AUX key to operate your VCR, press VCR and then AUX. • To program the VCR key to operate your TV, press TV and then VCR. 4.
What If None of the Codes Work? If none of the codes listed for your brand of device operate the device correctly, you can search through the code library for a valid code. Improving Your Reaction Time When you search the code library, you need to be ready to press SELECT as soon as the remote turns off your device. Therefore, make sure you are familiar with the location of the SELECT key before you begin this procedure.
Which Code Worked? Find out which code programmed the mode key to control your device. Finding the Code That Worked (Program Code 9 9 0) 1. Press and hold SELECT and the appropriate mode key (CBL, TV, VCR, DVD, or AUX) until all mode keys blink twice. 2. Press 9 9 0. The mode key you selected in step 1 blinks twice. 3. Press 1 and then count the number of times the mode key blinks. The number of blinks indicates the first digit in the code. For example, 4 blinks indicates the first digit in the code is 4.
Change Power Control Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways: • • The remote controls power for only one device at a time. For example, in CBL mode the POWER key controls the cable box only. However, in TV mode, the POWER key controls the TV only. The remote controls power for either one device or for multiple devices at once, based on the selected mode. For example, in CBL mode, the POWER key controls both the cable box and the TV at the same time.
Want An Example? If you want to control power for the TV and the cable box at the same time, you would do the following: 1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice. 2. Press 9 9 8. The CBL key blinks twice. 3. Press TV. The CBL key blinks twice. 4. Press CBL. The CBL key blinks twice. 5. Press SELECT. All mode keys blink three times.
Change Volume Control Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways: • The remote controls volume for one device, such as your TV, whether the remote is in TV, VCR, DVD, or CBL mode. The AUX mode always retains separate volume control. • The remote controls volume for different devices, depending on the mode key you press. For example, in CBL mode, the volume keys control the cable box. However, in TV mode, the volume keys control the TV.
Change Channel Control Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways: • The remote controls channels for a single device, such as the cable box, whether the remote is in CBL, VCR, DVD, or TV mode. The AUX mode always retains separate channel control. • The remote controls channels for different devices, depending on the mode key you press. Try your remote to see how the channel control currently works. The channel keys include , , Digits 0-9, LAST, and FAV.
Change VCR/VOD Programming Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways: • The Rewind, Play, Fast Forward, Stop, Pause, and Record keys (the transport keys) are programmed, by default, to transmit the codes for the Explorer® 8000™ series Home Entertainment Server video-on-demand (VOD) or digital video recorder (DVR) functions when in Cable (CBL) mode. • The transport keys control different devices, depending on the mode key you press.
Put It Back the Way I Got It Return specific advanced functions or all advanced functions back to their original settings. Choose the procedure that fits your needs. Important: Your cable service provider may have programmed the dual power control feature for your convenience. Therefore, if you reset the power control, you may need to program the remote to control the power for the cable box and TV at the same time.
Code Tables If the remote does not recognize your device, you can find codes for your device by brand. With combination devices (such as a TV with a built-in DVD player), you have separate codes for each device component. Therefore, for ease of use, the combination device codes are listed first. All other code tables are organized by devices assigned to each mode (CBL, TV, VCR, DVD, AUX).
