SPECIAL FEATURES

The IC4201/IC6201 Universal Remote Control
Integrated Circuits have a number of special
features:

Punch Through

Punch Through allows TVS, VCRs, and cable box
controls to work at the same time.  For example,
after you press the

 [C/SAT] 

or

 [VCR]

 buttons,

the volume controls would still work with the
television.  Other functions may also work this
way.  

Availability of this feature varies depending

on the type of TV, VCR, and cable box used.

Priority Press

™ (optional)

Priority Press™ is a unique feature that makes
remote controls using Innotech remote control IC's
simpler to use than other remote controls by
eliminating  the traditional need to push the 

[TV]

,

[CBL]

[VCR]

, or other device buttons every time

users wish to change what they are doing. With
Priority Press, users decide which entertainment
device they wish to use for common functions —
which they perform with just one button press.
Priority Press reduces the number of button presses
required to perform a function.  

Once users have programmed Priority Press, they
may never need to press the 

[TV/CD]

[CBL]

,

[VCR/DVD]

or

 

[Audio/Aux]

 buttons again!   

Read Back Programmed Code

The IC4201/IC6201 allows the remote control to
read back the codes  selected for TV, VCR, and
cable box so users can written them down and used
for future reference.  To do this:

1.  Press the device key that you want the code read
back for.  For example, if you want to get the code
for your TV, press the 

[TV] 

 key.

2.  Press 

[PROG]

.  The light should flash twice.

3.  Press 

[1]

 and then

 [PROG]

.  The light will

flash the number of the first digit of the code.  For
instance, if the TV’s code is 567, the light will
flash five times.  If a digit of code is zero, the light
will not flash.

4.  Repeat the last two steps to get the second and
third digits of the TV code, by pressing 

[2]

 and

[PROG]

 for the second digit (light flashes six times)

and 

[3]

 and

 [PROG]

 for the third digit (light

flashes seven times).  This procedure can then be
repeated for the VCR and cable box.

Substitute Devices

Users can substitute devices with universal remote
controls based on the IC4201/IC6201. All of the
three device buttons (TV, VCR, and C/SAT) can
be programmed as a TV, VCR, or cable box etc.
To  program a TV on the VCR device button:

1.  Press 

[VCR]

 and then 

[PROG]

.  The light will

flash twice.

2.  Instead of entering a VCR code, enter the TV
code for the desired TV.  The light will flash once
for each digit.

3.  Press 

[PROG]

, and the light will flash 3 times.

Now the VCR button will act as a second TV.
This works with all three devices, so it is possible
to program up to three TV’s, VCR’s, and cable
boxes.  For example, to program a Sony TV in the
cable boxes place, press:

[C/SAT] [PROG] [0] [3] [8] [PROG]

Now the C/SAT button will act as a Sony TV.
