Notes on Using the Remote Commander
• Using this Commander will not add new functions to your components.
The functions of the Commander are limited to the functions of the
components itself. For example, if your TV does not have a mute
function, the ¤ button on this Commander will not function with your
TV.
• Do not forcibly remove or tear off the corner protector.
Troubleshooting
If you're having problems setting up or using the Remote
Commander:
• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the
procedures described under "Setting the Code". If the code that's
listed first for your component doesn't work, try all the codes for
your component — in the order in which they're listed. If all the
codes fail to work (or if your component is not listed in this
manual), try using the procedures under "Searching for the Correct
Code".
• Check that you're aiming the Commander directly at the
component, and that there are no obstructions between the
Commander and the component.
• Make sure the batteries you're using are not worn out, and that
S
they're inserted correctly.
• Check that the slide switch of the Remote Commander is set to the
position (VCR, AMP, CD, SAT/AUX or TV) for your desired
component.
• If you cannot preset a component to the SAT/AUX, AMP or CD
position of the slide switch, a component type different from that
of the component you intend to preset may be preset to that
position. In such a case, enter the code number first, following the
procedure in "Entering the Code Number for Another TV, VCR,
Amplifier (or receiver), CD Player or Satellite tuner".
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For
example, if your component didn't come with a remote control, it
probably isn't capable of being controlled by the Remote
Commander.
• If your video components are connected to an audio system, make
sure you've set up the Commander as described in "Controlling
the Volume of Video Components Connected to an Audio System".
• Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory
setting by pressing the u, ... and Á– buttons simultaneously.
If you have any questions or problems concerning the Remote
Commander that are not covered in this manual, please call the
telephone number in the warranty.
