36 Setting Up the TV
Controlling Other Equipment With the Remote Control
You can program the remote control to operate other home theater equipment, such as a
DVD player, VCR, or satellite receiver. That way, you can use just one remote control when
watching movies or TV programs.
First you must program your remote control so it knows what kind of equipment you’re using.
You do this by entering a code that corresponds to the equipment and its manufacturer.
Programming the Remote Control
1 Look up the three-digit code for your equipment and manufacturer in the tables
beginning on page 37.
2 Slide the equipment switch on the top of the remote control to the setting for your
equipment type. For example, to enter a DVD player code, slide the switch to the DVD
setting. If you reprogram the STB1 setting, you won’t be able to use the remote control to
operate the HDTV tuner that may have come with your TV, unless you re-enter the
tuner’s code (101).
3 Hold down the Menu button on the remote control until its light comes on (about 2 to
3 seconds).
4 Enter the three-digit code using the remote control number buttons (for example, 420).
The remote control beeps once.
If it beeps 3 times, you’ve entered an invalid code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using the correct
code.
Using the Programmed Remote Control With Your Other Equipment
Once you’ve programmed the remote control, follow these steps to use it to control
your equipment:
1 Slide the equipment switch at the top of the remote control to the type of equipment you
want to control, such as DVD.
2 Use the 8 buttons on the top of the remote control to play and stop movies, skip and
pause tracks, etc.
When you want to operate the TV again, slide the equipment switch on the remote control
back to the TV position.
Note
If there are multiple codes
listed for your equipment
manufacturer and the first
one you choose doesn’t
work, try another code.
After you replace the
remote control’s batteries,
you will still be able to use it
to operate the TV and
tuner. But you will have to
re-enter the codes for any
other equipment that you
want to control.
