Change Power Control

Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways: 
•  The remote controls power for only one device at a time. For example, in CBL mode 

the POWER key controls the set-top only. However, in TV mode, the POWER key 
controls the TV only.

•  The remote controls power for either one device or for multiple devices at once, based 

on the selected mode. For example, in CBL mode, the POWER key controls both the 
set-top and the TV at the same time.

Before you change how the power control functions, try your remote to see how the 
power control currently works. When trying out your remote, keep in mind that the 
remote provides a temporary override for power control. For example, if you press the 
TV key and then the POWER key within 3 seconds, the remote turns on the TV only, 
regardless of the programmed power settings. To see how the remote was originally 
programmed, wait at least 5 seconds before pressing the POWER key after you press any 
mode key. 
Does your remote already control power for your set-top and TV at the same time? 
If not, Scienti

Þ

 c Atlanta strongly recommends that you program the remote to turn off 

the set-top each time you turn off your TV. Turning off the set-top is especially important 
for high-end set-tops that contain hard drives for recording and storing 
TV programs and movies. Not only will you reduce wear and tear from the hard disk 
spinning constantly, but you’ll also conserve electricity. As long as the set-top remains 
plugged in, the set-top will receive programming updates, and, if applicable, record 
programs and movies.
