Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Commander:
• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the
procedures described in "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 in "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 they're inserted correctly.
• Check that the button of the TV, VCR, SAT, or DVD is pressed
to choose your desired component.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability.
For example, if your component didn't come with a remote
commander, it probably isn't capable of being controlled by
a remote commander.
• Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the
factory setting by pressing the 1, t and 2– buttons
simultaneously.
