Notes on Using the Remote Commander
•Using this Commander will not increase the
functions of your TV, VCR or cable box. The
functions of the Commander are limited to the
functions of the components themselves. For
example, if your TV does not have a Recall
function, the RECALL button on this Commander
will not function with your TV.
•If your cable box can control volume, be sure to
set its volume switch to a medium position. If the
volume on the cable box is turned down
completely, you will not be able to adjust your
TV's volume with the Commander.

18, 07, 48 • When setting up the Commander, carefully go
through the procedures described under "Setting
18, 48 & 12, 09, 10
Up the Commander". If the code that's listed first
02, 12, 24, 23 for your component doesn't work, try all the
codes listed for your component – in the order in
07, 08, 11, 12, 13,
which they're listed. If all the codes fail to work
