INTRODUCTION
The Radioshack 6-in-1 Remote Powered by Kameleon
is a revolutionary universal remote control that uses
Universal Electronics' Kameleon Technology.
Moreover, it allows you to consolidate the clutter of all
of your original remote controls into one easy-to-use
product.Advanced features include:
Kameleon Technology – dynamic menu
screens that respond to device selection and
illuminate only active keys
My System Mode – a custom mode that
groups the most-often-used keys together for
operating convenience in one mode
Macros – for instant activation of favorite
key sequences
Learning – to capture unique functions from
your devices' original remote controls
Direct Code Setup – for easy device
programming with setup codes
Innovative Code Search – allows setup of
your devices without looking up codes
Favorite Channel Scan – for easy channel
surfing of favorite channels
Volume Lock – to assign volume controls to
individual devices or to one global device
Extensive Code Library – largest and most
efficient group of IR remote control codes for
virtually every current brand and make
Upgradeability – our unique telephone
upgrade system ensures your remote control
always has the latest setup codes when adding
new devices in the future
After installing four (4) new AA alkaline batteries
(not included, see next page), you can immediately
use the unit to control a RCA DVD Player, a Pioneer
CD Player and Audio Receiver, and a RCA TV,VCR,
and Satellite Receiver. To control other brands than
the default ones, see Programming Device Control
on page 7.
HOW KAMELEON™ WORKS
Kameleon™ allows wireless controllers to
dynamically change their appearance and
functionality, to match the home entertainment
environment.Moreover, this technology provides
unparalleled ease-of-use and superior control by
delivering a uniquely intuitive, graphical interface
that intelligently illuminates only the active keys.
The Radioshack 6-in-1 Remote uses Kameleon
technology to provide the versatility of an LCD
remote control with the feel of a traditional push
button unit. The result is a stunning, bright display
with engaging animation and touch-sensitive
graphics for the user.
The remote control includes convenient Menu
Driven programming.The displays are divided
into two types of interactive screens: Device
Menus for normal remote control use, and
Programming Menus for feature setup.Acting
like its namesake, Kameleon changes the Device
Menu for the device being selected. For example,
selecting TV displays a main menu that contains
channel selection, volume control, and a
keypad.However, selecting a DVD player still
displays a menu with those same keys as the TV, but
now navigation keys and transport controls are
added for the DVD device.
Several devices have additional menus that can be
accessed using SCREEN (see Device Menu
Screens, starting on page "Device Menu Screens"
on page 24. For example, TV has two menus: a
main menu with keys for a general purpose TV, a
second menu screen that adds navigation keys and
removes INPUT, +100, PIP and TRANSPORT
keys,.Depending on desired features, a user has the
flexibility to use any menu screen that works best
for the selected device.
Animated key graphics also provided enhanced
operational feedback, so the user can easily see
what mode is active and when the commands are
communicating with a device. The end result of
Kameleon technology is a simple, elegant, and
intelligent way of organizing a large number of
remote control keys for six different devices in a
relatively small case.
