6-in-1 A/V Remote
(15-1918) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 38050
INSTALLING BATTERIES
You need four AAA batteries to power your remote control. We recommend
alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555.
1. Press the battery compartment cover tab
and lift off the cover.
2. Install four AAA alkaline batteries as
indicated by the polarity symbols
marked in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
Note:
Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you have
installed the batteries. This can press keys for an extended period
of time and reduce battery life.
When the 6-in-1 Remote Controls range decreases or it operates
erratically, replace the batteries.
Note:
Although the 6-in-1 has a built in memory backup, we recommend you
have fresh batteries ready to install as soon as you remove the old
ones.
USING THE (Symbol) KEY
The backlight lets you see the keys on your 6-in-1 in the dark. Press
(Symbol) to light the keys. Also, every time you press a key, the 6-in-1
lights up and stays lit for about 5 seconds.
To turn off the light, press (Symbol) again.
SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
1. Refer to "Manufacturer's Codes" on Faxback Doc. # 36485 and write down
the codes for your original remote controls.
Note:
Some manufacturers have several possible codes listed. Try each until
you find the correct code. See "Operation" on Faxback Doc. # 38051 if
you need help.
2. Press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing
(CD, VCR, CBL, TV, AUX 1 or AUX 2).
3. Press and hold SET UP until the red indicator light blinks twice, then
release it. Enter the 3-digit code.
For example, to replace a TV's remote control (manufacturer's setup
code 154), press:
TV - SET UP 1 - 5 - 4
4. When the red indicator light blinks twice again, the 6-in-1 has
accepted the code.
5. Point the 6-in-1 Remote Control at your device and press PWR
(or CH/ON for some cable boxes). Your device should turn off
(or on, if it was off).
If the remote does not operate your device, try the other codes listed
in the "Manufacturer's Codes" for your brand of TV, VCR, cable con-
verter, or other devices.
Repeat Steps 2-5 for additional devices.
Note:
The punch-through feature (see "Operation" on Faxback Doc. # 38051) is
automatically turned on for the TV's volume and mute controls. This
means that when you select cable, for example, and press one of the
volume keys or the mute key, the remote actually sends that function
to the television, not the cable converter. If you want to use your
cable converter's volume and mute controls, disable the punch-through
feature for these keys.
USING TWO OR MORE SIMILAR DEVICES
Each of the 6-in-1 Remote Control's device keys are preset to control a
particular type of device:
TV - TVs only.
CBL - Cable converters, satellite
receivers and video accessories.
VCR - VCRs, TV/VCR combinations, laser
disc players, cassette decks and
digital audio tape decks.
CD - CD players, amplifiers, tuners,
receivers, and miscellaneous
audio products.
AUX1 - VCRs, laser disc players,
cassette decks, and digital
audio tape decks.
AUX2 - Cable converters, satellite
receivers, and video
accessories.
Plug n' Power - Plug 'n Power or X-10 home
automation devices.
Normally, you program each key for one of its listed devices. However, if
you have two or more of the same type of device (two TVs, two VCRs, and so
on) you can convert any unused key (TV, CBL, CD, VCR, AUX 1, or AUX2) to
control another type of device.
1. Press SET UP until the red indicator light blinks twice.
2. Press 9 - 9 - 2. The red indicator light blinks twice. Press the key
for the type of device you have two of, then the unused device key you
want to convert. The red indicator light blinks twice again.
For example, to convert an unused CBL key into a second VCR key:
SET UP - 9 - 9 - 2 - VCR - CBL
To change the CBL key back to its original function, use the following
sequence of keystrokes.
SET UP - 9 - 9 - 2 - CBL - CBL
