Using the Remote Control
Tip
The buttons might
operate differently for
other components,
especially when you’re
using another
component’s menu
system.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component you want the remote to operate.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list on page 26.
3. Press and hold the component button that corresponds to the component you want the
remote to operate (VCR, etc.)
4. Enter the code from the code list.
5. Release the component button.
6. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the remote commands. If it doesn’t, try
pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.
7. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand until the
component responds to the remote commands.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve
Programmed It
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to control your
components. To operate the component:
1. Press the component button (TV, VCR, VPORT, DVD, AUX, or SAT•CABLE) to set the remote to
operate the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Note: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You
must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to
operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
