Installing remote control
batteries
To install or replace the remote control batteries:
1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert two AAA size batteries as shown, observing the correct polarity.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Programming the
remote control
You can operate your TV, VCR, and Audio/Video receiver using your HRMC-8
or HMRC-9 remote control. Use the Code Scanning or Code Entry method to
program the remote control. Code scanning may be more time-consuming, but
you dont need to know manufacturers control codes. Using the Code entry
method may be quicker, but youll need to know the correct manufacturers
control codes for each component you want to operate.
1. Aim your remote control at the component you want to use.
2. Hold down the desired device button (
TV, for example).
3. Press the
MUTE button for one second.
4. Release both buttons together.
5. The device button (in this example, the
TV button) glows and remains lit.
If the button does not light, repeat the previous steps.
6. Use one of the two programming methods described above.
Code scanning
To use this method:
1. Repeatedly tap the top part of the
CHANNEL (CH) button.
2. Continue to step through the codes until the component turns off, indicating
you have found the correct component code. If you accidentally pass a code
that responds or realize you may not have been aiming the remote control at
the component, tap the lower part of the
CHANNEL (CH) button to step
backward through the codes.
3. Press the remote control POWER button to verify the proper code by
turning the device on and off.
4. Press the device button (in this example, TV) again to lock in the code.
