Welcome to the Ultimate Control Experience

Your new AT8560 AllTouch Universal Remote Control (remote) is a true 
universal remote, functioning as fi ve remotes in one. As one example, you can 
use this remote to operate your TV, VCR, DVD player, set-top, and receiver.

Important Information About Your Remote

Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your set-top. The Volume 
and Mute keys will not work until a TV code is programmed into the remote. 
You must program the remote to operate your TV, VCR, etc. See

 Program 

the Remote to Control My Devices

 to learn how to enter device codes and 

program your remote.

How Does a Universal Remote Control Work?

You tell the remote which type of device you want to operate using the fi ve 
keys arched across the top of the remote. These keys, known as mode keys, 
are labeled

 CBL, TV, VCR, DVD, 

and

 AUX

. Each mode key is associated with a 

specifi c device. As an example, if you want the remote to operate your TV, you 
simply press the TV key. Other keys you press on the remote thereafter should 
operate your TV. Want to switch the remote to operate a diff erent device? Just 
press the mode key for the next device you want to operate. In this guide, 
you will learn which types of devices you can control and how to program the 
remote to control your specifi c devices. 

Note:

 Some remote keys may not operate in all modes. You can even program 

your remote to assign specifi c functions, such as channel control, to operate 
one device only. You will learn more about these advanced functions later in this 
guide.
