In most cases, the keys on
this remote perform the same
functions as the keys on your
original remotes once you’ve
programmed this remote to
operate your components.
Many keys on this remote
have other functions as well.
Device keys (
TV
,
SAT•CBL•DTC
,
VCR•DVD
) put
the remote in the right mode
to control your device: TV to
control your TV, SAT•CBL•DTC
to control your satellite
receiver, cable box or digital
TV converter, and VCR•DVD
to control your VCR or DVD
player.
MENU
puts the remote in
menu mode, which makes the
CH/VOL
keys serve as arrow
keys; it also accesses the
same features as the key on
your original remotes.
GO BACK
exits remote
programming; it also
performs the same functions
as on your original remotes.
CH
and
VOL
keys have dual
functions: they can act as
navigation keys in menu
systems as well as channel
and volume controllers
outside the menus.
The
INPUT
/
— (dash)/TV•VCR
key has three functions: (1)
it toggles through all the
video sources connected to
your TV; (2) when the remote
is in VCR mode, this button
toggles between VCR and
the TV input; (3) when you’re
entering digital channel
numbers directly, this button
lets you separate the main
channel number from the
sub-channel number. (such
as 59.1)

IMPORTANT
Because this remote controls more than one device, you
must first “tell” the remote which device you wish to
operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you
must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV
Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until you press
a different device key. For example, if your remote is in TV
Mode and you want to operate the DVD player or VCR, you
must press the VCR•DVD key to change device modes.
4. Use the VOL+/- and CH+/- keys to
navigate through the on-screen menu
system. To select the highlighted item,
press the OK key.
TIP: If the remote doesn’t respond,
check to see that the indicator light is
still blinking. The light times out after 20
seconds. If this happens, just press the
MENU key again, and then retry your
selection.
Exiting Menu/Guide Mode
The remote automatically times out of Menu Mode after 20
seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that time, the
remote clears the displayed menu from the TV.
If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the
corresponding device key on the remote (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC,
VCR•DVD). The indicator light turns off.
Tour of the Remote
Accessing Device Menus
Many devices use on-screen menus to help you navigate
through all their features and programming. While this remote
may not access every menu system of every device model, it
does offer some menu functionality.
To use a device’s on-screen menu system, you first have to put
the remote in Menu Mode.
1. Make sure your devices are turned on and your TV is set
to the correct device input (use the INPUT key to toggle
through inputs when in TV Mode.)
2. Press the device key whose menu you want to access.
3. To access menus, press the MENU key. The indicator light
starts blinking, indicating you are in Menu Mode.
