Troubleshooting

If you have problems setting up or using the RM-VZ220:



Carefully perform the setup procedure of “Startup Guide.” If the RM-VZ220 does not

work, try repeating the setup procedure using another manufacturer’s code (if listed

for your device). If you still cannot operate the RM-VZ220, try the Search function

(see “Searching for the correct code”).



Aim the RM-VZ220 directly at the device.



Remove any obstacles in the path between the RM-VZ220 and the device.



Make sure you have pressed the correct Device Select button.



Check that the device has infrared remote capability. For example, if your device did

not come with a remote control, it probably is not capable of being controlled by the

RM-VZ220.



The batteries are weak, or not inserted correctly. Replace them with new ones or insert

them correctly.
