CONTROL OTHER DEVICES WITH THE REMOTE
REMOTE CONTROL MODES
You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver or
other devices. This section explains how to set up the remote to control a
device, such as a satellite TV receiver, a TV, a VCR, a DVD player,
a tuner, or an amplifier.
To set the remote to the right mode for a device, use the remote control’s
mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV, VCR (for a VCR or a DVD
player), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a DVD player, or an audio amplifier). To
change the mode, press the button for the device you want the remote to
control. The mode button flashes once to show you’ve set the remote to that
mode.
Tip: You
program the
remote that
came with your
receiver to
control as many
as three other
devices.
