Five-In-One Remote Control
(15-1908) Features Faxback Doc. # 6567
INTRODUCTION
Your RadioShack Five-in-One Remote Control can replace up to five
standard infrared remote controls.
Unlike some universal remote controls, the 5-in-1 is preprogrammed and
does not have to learn its commands from the original remote controls.
All you have to do is tell the 5-in-1 which remote controls you want it to
replace (by entering 3-digit codes) and the 5-in-1 does the rest. It's as
simple as A-B-C.
This manual includes a list of 3-digit manufacturer's codes for TVs, VCRs,
cable converters, compact disc players, laser satellites, and other
popular remote-control devices.
After you've entered the 3-digit manufacturer's codes for your original
remotes, the 5-in-1 is automatically ready to operate most of the same
functions as the original remotes.
THE FEATURES OF THE 5-IN-1 ARE:
Replaces Other Remotes - lets you replace up to five remote controls with
one easy-to-use remote control.
Powerful Inferred Beam - in many cases, lets you operate your remote
control devices from a greater distance than the original remote controls.
Convenient Keypad Design - places the control keys in the perfect
positions for ease of operation.
Handy Reference Label - provides a convenient place for you to write down
the manufacturer's codes and the 5-in-1's alternate function keys.
Toll Free Support - Lets you get expert help for your 5-in-1 by calling
1-800-989-5000.
HOW THE 5-in-1 WORKS
Before you begin to use the 5-in-1, it is helpful to understand a little
about how it works - nothing technical - only an idea of what you can
expect from the 5-in-1 and its different groups of keys.
When you set up the 5-in-1, its command keys work like the keys on your
original remote controls, though the labeling might slightly differ. For
example, a key on your original remote control labeled PWR ON/OFF is
equivalent to the 5-in-1's POWER key.
Notes: Whenever you use the 5-in-1's RECORD or QTR key, you must press it
twice. This safety feature helps prevent you from accidentally
erasing audio or video tapes.
When you see references to TRACK + or TRACK - in this manual, you
must press TRACK followed by the + or - key.
When you use the 5-in-1 to replace extremely complex remote
controls, the 5-in-1 might not have all the keys of the original
remote control. But, in most cases, the 5-in-1 can duplicate all
commonly-used commands from the original remote controls.
Occasionally, the 5-in-1 will not be able to duplicate some of the
original remote control's seldom-used functions.
The PROG key at the bottom of the 5-in-1 is a special key that you
use when you set up the 5-in-1 to replace your original remote
controls.
The TV, VCR, CABLE, and AUX keys are device keys. You use them
when you set up the 5-in-1 to replace your original remote
controls. You also use the device keys during normal operation to
tell the 5-in-1 which device you want to control.
