mum of 60 minutes. The LED will blink twice when
the sleep timer is set for 30 minutes, 3 times for
45 minutes, or 4 times for 60 minutes.
NOTE: The sleep timer starts 10 seconds after
the last press of the SLEEP key. Once you have activated
the Cinema 5’s built-in sleep timer, you must keep the
remote control aimed directly at the component.
3. To de-activate the built-in sleep timer,press

Try all of the codes listed for your brand of
home entertainment component in the “Setup
Codes” section. Many setup codes may allow
for partial functionality, however, only one
setup code will operate your home entertain-
ment component correctly. Make sure that all
of the components you are setting up can
be operated with an infrared remote con-
trol.
Try the VCR set-up codes for your brand.
However, some combo units may require both
a TV code for volume control and a VCR code
for the remaining functions.
As a safety feature on the Cinema 5, you
must press the REC key twice.

original remote control will operate these
functions.
If your original remote control required an

press the ENTER key on the Cinema 5 after
you enter the channel number.
Make sure you are aiming your Cinema 5 at
your home entertainment component and that
you are within 15 feet before using your
remote.
Make sure your remote controls are nose-to-

(see diagram in step 5 on page 24).
Try the “Search Method” again after clearing
