Customizing Your Remote Control
Your TV comes equipped with a “universal” remote control. In addition to
controlling the TV, the universal remote can also operate most VCRs, DVDs and cable
boxes (even if your VCR, cable box or DVD are made by manufacturers other than Akai).
Setting Up Your Remote Control to Operate Your VCR (or DVD)
1
Turn off your VCR (or
DVD.)
2
Press the
MODE
button and make sure that the
VCR (or DVD)
LED
is illuminated.
3
On your Akai remote control, press
Set.
▼
The remote control has four
“modes”: “TV,” “VCR”, “Cable”
and “DVD.” Press the “MODE”
button to switch the remote control
to the “VCR” (or DVD) mode.
▼
4
Enter 3 digits of the VCR (or DVD) code listed on page 4.22 for
your brand of VCR (or DVD).
Make sure you enter 3 digits of
the code, even if the first digit is a
“0.”
If more than one code listed, try the
first one.
▼
5
Press the
Power
button on the remote control. Your VCR
(or DVD) should turn on. If your VCR (or DVD) turns on, your
remote control is now set correctly.
If your VCR (or DVD) does
not turn on, repeat steps 2, 3, and
4, but try one of the other codes
listed for the brand of your partic-
ular VCR (or DVD).
If no other codes are listed, try
each code, 000 through 089.
▼
6
Once your remote control is set up, press the
MODE
button
any time you want to use the remote to operate your VCR (or
DVD).
When your remote control is
in the “VCR” (or DVD) mode, the
volume buttons still control your
TV’s volume.
When your remote is in the “TV”
mode, the VCR control buttons
(PLAY, PAUSE, etc.) will still oper-
ate your VCR.
