Programming the Remotes 33
pointed there until the TV goes where
you want - some TVs take a while to
respond. if the TV only sees one digit,
wait until that clears before you try
pushing the Xtender channel button
again.
One other thing to watch for, some TVs
need a long time in between pressing
buttons - if you press the Red button
(and have the default configuration
where red is on channel 14) and you see
the 1 on the TV but the 4 never shows up,

we get more feedback from users we will
publish a detailed pause-time list for
various TV models - so if you don't mind
let us know what works for you if you
have to adjust this in your house)...
To set the pause time,
Hold down the MENU button and the "4"
key: The power light should come on and
stay on
