CONTROLLING LIGHTS AND APPLIANCES
The Plug 'n Power feature allows you to control lamps and appliances with
your 6-in-1 Remote Control and an IR Command Console. You will need
Plug 'n Power light modules and appliance modules plus an IR Command
Console (all available through your local Radio Shack store) to use this
feature.
Follow these steps to control Plug 'n Power modules with the 6-in-1
Remote Control and an IR Command Console.
1. Set the house code dial on top of your IR Command Console to the same
letter as your Plug'n Power modules.

SEQUENCES
You can set up your 6-in-1 Remote Control to issue a set of up to
15 commands at the press of a key. Any sequence of commands you regularly
perform can be reduced to a single key press.
Setting a Sequence
Here is an example of how to set up the sequence of commands that turns on
your cable box and your TV and puts the TV on Channel 3, and how this
sequence happens when you press VIDEO SEQ.
1. Press and hold SET UP until the red indicator light blinks twice, then
release it.
2. Press 9 - 9 - 5. The red indicator light blinks twice again.
Then press VIDEO SEQ.

Note:
If your device requires the use of an enter key to select a channel,
you must also use ENTER in your sequence.
4. To end the sequence, press and hold SET UP until the red indicator
light blinks twice.
Whenever you press the selected sequence key, your 6-in-1 Remote Control
will issue the sequence of commands you entered.
Note:
The 6-in-1 must be pointed at the device.
Erasing a Sequence
1. Press and hold SET UP until the red indicator light blinks twice.
2. Press 9 - 9 - 5. The red indicator light blinks twice. Press the
sequence key you want to erase.
3. Press and hold SET UP until the red indicator light blinks twice.
This means that your sequence is erased.
PUNCH-THROUGH
Using Punch-Through
The punch-through feature lets you alternately control two different
devices without pressing the device selection keys for each one.
Here's how it works.
Not all of the 6-in-1 Remote Control's keys are used by every device.
For example, a TV is often the only device that uses the volume keys.
After you press TV, then press VCR, the functions not used by the VCR
retain their TV functions.
Note:
The punch-through feature does not work if the last two devices you
selected have the same (or similar) features. For example, most TVs
and some cable converters have PWR keys on their remote controls. In
this case, you must press the desired device key before you use the
remote control's PWR keys.
Turning Punch-Through On and Off
If your cable converter or VCR has volume control, you can turn off the
punch-through feature to allow the 6-in-1 to control the volume of those
devices. This allows your cable converter or VCR to control the volume of
your TV set (if it can already so). Once you turn off punch-through, you
must press the device key for the device (cable converter or VCR) you want
to use to control the volume.
Follow these steps to turn off the punch-through feature.
1. Press the device key (CBL or VCR) for the device you want to use to
control the volume. Then press SET UP until the red indicator light
blinks twice.
2. Press 9 - 9 - 3. The red indicator light blinks twice. Press the
device key (CBL or VCR) for the device you want to use to control the
volume. The red indicator light blinks twice to indicate
punch-through is turned off.
To turn on the punch-through feature, press SET UP - 9 - 9 - 3 - TV.
The red indicator light blinks twice to indicate the punch-through
feature is on.
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
MANUAL CODE SEARCH
If the 6-in-1 Remote Control does not operate your remote controlled
devices when you first set it up, you may have to find the code for your
devices. You can try all the codes listed in the "Manufacturer's Codes"
section for the brand of your device. You can also search the 6-in-1
Remote Control's entire library by following these steps.
1. Manually turn on the device you want to set up and press the
corresponding device key on your 6-in-1 Remote Control
(TV, VCR, CBL, CD, and so on)
2. Aim the 6-in-1 Remote Control at the device you want to operate.
3. Press and hold SET UP until the red indictor light blinks twice.
Release SET UP and press 9 - 9 - 1. The red indicator light blinks
twice again.
4. Slowly alternate between PWR and the device key.
For example, if you are searching for the code to operate your TV, use
the following sequence.
SET UP - 9 - 9 - 1 - PWR - TV - PWR - TV - PWR...
Each time you press the TV key, the remote control advances to the
next manufacturer's code in the library.
5. When your device responds, immediately press SET UP to lock in the
manufacturers' code.
Note:
Because of the large number of codes in the 6-in-1 Remote Control's
library, this procedure can take several minutes. If your device
turns off during the search, but will not operate after you lock in
your code, begin the search again, pausing longer between key presses.
If necessary, repeat these steps for each device.
DETERMINING THE 3-DIGIT CODE
After you set up your 6-in-1 Remote Control using the manual code search,
you can find which 3-digit code the 6-in-1 Remote Control is set to by
following these steps.
1. Press the device key you want to get the manufacturer's code from.
2. Press and hold SET UP until the red indicator light blinks twice, then
release it.
3. Press 9 - 9 - 0. The red indicator light blinks twice.
4. Press 1, and count the number of times the red indicator light blinks.
This is the first number of your 3-digit manufacturer's code.
Note:
If the red indicator light does not blink, the digit is a zero.
5. Press the 2 and count the number of times the red indicator light
blinks. This is the second number of your 3-digit manufacturer's
code.
Note:
The red indictor light does not blink if the second digit of your
3-digit manufacturer's code is a zero.
6. Press 3 and count the number of times the red indicator light blinks.
This is the third digit of your 3-digit manufacturer's code.
Note:
The red indicator does not blink if the third digit of your 4-digit
manufacturer's code is a zero.
