Notes on Using the Remote
Commander
Basically, use this Commander in the same way as
the Commander supplied with your TV.
• Using this Commander will not increase the
functions of your TV. 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.
• Some functions of your TV may not work with
this Commander.

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 TV doesn't work, try all the
codes listed for your TV – in the order in
which they're listed. If all the codes fail to
work (or if your TV 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 TV, and that there are no
obstructions between the Commander and the
TV.
• Make sure the batteries you're using are not
worn out, and that they're inserted correctly.
• Check that the TV has infrared remote
capability. For example, if your TV didn't
come with a remote, it probably isn't capable
of being controlled by a Remote Commander.
