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. Set the mode switch to the correct position to control the component.
2. Press PWR to turn the component on or off.
3. Use the remote control buttons that apply to that component.
Note: Your remote’s buttons might operate differently for other
components, especially when you’re using another component’s menu
system.
Modes of Operation
Because this universal remote can control several different components (DVD
player, VCR, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the mode switch. For
example, if you want the remote control to operate the TV, set the mode switch
to TV to put the remote into TV mode. If you've programmed the AV1 position to
operate your DVD player, and you want the remote to operate the DVD player,
set the mode switch to the AV1 position.
