Control” on page 11.
Use the TV remote control to direct the complete operation of the TV. See the illustration on page 35.
Programming for Other Devices
You can use the TV remote control to operate other equipment in your entertainment system. The following
tables list all the types of equipment you can control after you program the remote control.
NOTE: The remote control might not be compatible with all devices from a manufacturer listed in the tables
below.
1. In the following tables, find the listing for your device. Devices are listed according to the type of
device and manufacturer. Find the device code for your device. If several codes are listed, try them
one at a time in the order listed.
2. On the remote control, hold down the Options and back buttons until the device indicator blinks
three times; then release the buttons.
3. Press Device until the required device indicator is lit. You must choose the correct indicator for the type
of device you are programming. See the following lists of device codes. For example, select STB when
programming the remote control for your set-top cable box.
4. On the number pad, enter the four-digit code for the device; then press Enter.
If the code is valid, the device indicator lights for three seconds.
If the code is invalid or you pressed a wrong button, the device indicator blinks rapidly for three
seconds. Go back to step 2 and hold down the Options and back buttons.
5. Aim the remote control at your device and press the power button on the remote contol.
If the device turns on or off, the programming is successful. If other functions do not work and
several device codes are listed, try a different code.
If the device does not respond, try these steps again, or, if several device codes are listed for this
device, repeat the steps using the next device code.
TIP:
You must program each piece of equipment using the correct device indicator listed in the
following tables. If you have two devices that use the same indicator, you can program the
second device as AUX.
You can delete a programmed device from the remote control. Program the device using device
code 0000. This is useful mainly for deleting an audio device so the volume and mute buttons
control the TV speakers instead of controlling the audio system.
