Five-In-One Remote Control
(15-1908) Setup Faxback Doc. # 6568
SETTING UP THE 5-in-1
1. Remove the battery compartment cover and install four fresh AAA
alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555) as indicated by the
polarity (+ and -) symbols marked in the compartment.
NOTE: Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you install
the batteries. This can press down keys and reduce battery life.
2. Refer to Faxback Doc. # 7162 & 7163 for the "Manufacturer's Codes" and
write down the codes for your original remote controls on the provided
label.
3. Press the device key for the remote you are replacing (TV, VCR, CABLE,
AUX 1, OR AUX 2).
4. Press down and hold PROG until the red indicator blinks twice, and
continue holding it down as you enter the 3-digit manufacturer code.
For example, to replace a Panasonic TV's remote control (manufacturer code
051), you would press:
TV - PROG - 0 - 5 - 1
5. When the indicator blinks twice again, release PROG.
6. Point the 5-in-1 at your device and press POWER. The device should
turn on (or off, if it was on).
Repeat Steps 2-6 for additional devices.
NOTE: The punch-through feature is automatically turned on for the TV's
volume and mute controls. This means that when you select CABLE
and press one of the volume buttons or the MUTE button, the remote
actually sends the codes to the television, and not the cable
converter. If you want to use your cable converter's volume and
mute controls, disable the punch through feature for these buttons.
See "Punch Through."
If the remote does not operate your device, try other codes listed in
"Manufacturer's Codes" for your brand of TV, VCR, cable box or other
remote-controlled device.
Note: When the 5-in-1's range decreases or the 5-in-1 operates
erratically, replace the batteries.
CAUTION: Be sure to have the fresh batteries ready to install before you
remove the old batteries. The 5-in-1's memory only lasts about
a minute without the batteries. If the memory is lost, simply
re-enter the 3-digit codes for your remote control products.
USING TWO OR MORE SIMILAR DEVICES
Each OF THE 5-IN-1'S keys are preset to control particular devices, as
shown in the following list.
TV - TVs Only.
CABLE - Cable converters, satellite receivers, and video accessories.
VCR - VCRs and laser disc players.
AUX - CD players, amplifiers, tuners, receivers, home automation
products, miscellaneous audio products.
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 convert any unused device key to control another type of device.
To do this, you press PROG (briefly) - 9 - 9 - 9 - unused device key - new
device key. For example, the following key strokes convert an unused
CABLE key for use as a second VCR key.
PROG - 9 - 9 - 9 - CABLE - VCR
To change the CABLE key back to its normal function, use the following
sequence of key strokes:
PROG - 9 - 9 - 9 - CABLE - CABLE
