Getting Started

Before You Begin

This handy Quick Start Guide provides step-by-step instructions regarding some of the most popular features
of this remote control. Use it as a supplement to the User's Guide, to which you may refer for further details.

SETUP key
For the purposes of this guide, "component" refers to your electronic equipment—TV, VCR, DVD, PVR/DVR,
satellite receiver, auxiliary or audio components—all of which can be operated using the RCU1010RF remote
control unit. When you press and release a component key, you put the remote in that component mode (e.g.,
pressing the TV key puts the remote in the TV Mode). The remote remains in that mode until you press and
release another mode key. When you put the remote in a specific component mode, the control screen that is
shown on the touchscreen is the control screen for that mode.
What's So Great About RF Technology?
Your RCU1010RF transmits signals in infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF). Most remote controls transmit
only in IR and must be pointed in a direct line of sight with the IR sensor on your electronic component in
order to function properly. Because the RCU1010RF has radio frequency capabilities, the remote control does
not have to be pointed at the receiver; in fact, it doesn't even have to be in the same room! The RF signals
go through your whole house and enable you to control all of your components wherever you are!
What advantages does that bring to you and your home electronic equipment? Plenty!
First, you can place your component (such as a VCR, DVD, etc) in a closed cabinet, and the RCU1010RF
will transmit the proper signals to it. That gives you great flexibility in setting up your home
entertainment system.
Secondly, if your satellite receiver is upstairs, the RCU1010RF allows you to change the channel while
downstairs. (Additional wiring needed).
Thirdly, the RCU1010RF transmits through walls, floors, ceilings—even to your deck outdoors so you can
control your component(s) wherever you are. For example, if you are outside on your deck enjoying music on
your wireless speakers, you can use the RCU1010RF to adjust the volume without going back into the house!
The RCU1010RF is packed with features you want—and its RF capabilities make it the perfect remote to give
you added control and flexibility.
