(3) Within ten seconds after releasing 

DISPLAY  and  CH DOWN

(

9

), enter your converter’s two-digit code number using REMOTE

KEYPAD (refer to list).

• The remote control is now ready to send commands to your

converter.

• Some brands have more than one remote code listed, due to

changes in the remote codes from early to later model years. In
such cases, you may have to try more than one code to find the
code your converter accepts.

Depending on the model, year produced, brand, and type of
CATV converter, some models may not be compatible with the
remote control.

L

To Identify Your Cable Converter – Search Method.

(1) Slide

 TV-CATV switch on the remote to CATV.

(2) Press the POWER button on the cable converter to ON.
(3) Stand at least six feet away from the converter.

Point the remote towards the converter.
Hold down the 

DISPLAY and CH UP (

8

) at the same time. KEEP

HOLDING THE BUTTONS DOWN.

(4) Watch the Channel Number indicator on the converter.

Channel numbers will scan up when the converter has been
identified.
Release the 

DISPLAY and CH UP (

8

) as soon as the channel

numbers start to scan up.
The converter’s remote control code number has been identified,
and the remote is ready to operate the converter.

TIPS ON IDENTIFYING YOUR CABLE CONVERTER:
Be Patient: a minute or two can seem a lot longer when you’re
waiting for something to happen, but the code should be identified
within two minutes. Remember, it is only a one-time set-up.
Be careful not to let the CATV converter scan more than five
channels when the indicator starts to move up. If you continue
holding down the 

DISPLAY and CH UP (

8

) after five channel

scans, the proper remote code can be passed up, and the two
minutes identify cycle will have to be repeated.
If a channel change does not occur on the cable converter within
two minutes, read the identifying instructions again and repeat
the steps. Should a channel change still not occur, the remote
will not operate with the desired converter.

Some satellite receivers can be operated by the REMOTE
CONTROL. If you have a Satellite Receiver, you can use the
above method to search for available channels.
