If you program the remote to control other equipment, refer to the
following pages located at the beginning of this guide for remote
control operation instructions:
TVs, Remote Operation TV Mode, page S-5.
VCRs and DVD players, Remote Operation VCR Mode,
page S-6.
DISH Network satellite receivers, Remote Operation SAT Mode,
page S-4.
Stereo equipment use only these buttons: SELECT (change
inputs), MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER.
HOW THE REMOTE COMMUNICATES
This remote uses IR signals to control the receiver and other
equipment.
IR signals travel only short distances (up to 40 feet), and cannot go
through walls or other solid objects. Point the remote control right at
the equipment you want to control, with no objects to block the signal
path.
PROGRAMMING FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT
Page S-2, Program the Remote to Control Your TV, shows you how to
program the remote to control a TV. This section uses a different
method to program the remote to control a TV or other equipment
(such as a VCR, DVD player, tuner, amplifier, or a second TV). You
can program the remote by either following the instructions in
Programming Using Equipment Code Tables on page 4, or the
Scanning for Equipment Codes procedure described on page 5.
COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/VCR)
When programming the remote to control combination equipment,
such as a TV/VCR or a TV/DVD, program the remote control in one
mode, and then repeat the procedure in the other mode. Use the
appropriate equipment codes provided later in this guide (see page 12).
For example, to program the remote to control a Magnavox TV/VCR
using code 887, follow the instructions to program the remote to
control the TV using code 887, and then repeat the instructions for the
VCR using code 797. Put the remote in TV mode to use the TV and
VCR mode to use the VCR.
