Programming Remote To Control Cable Box - RCA F27703 User Manual

Programming Remote to Control a DSS
The universal remote is
preprogrammed to control a DSS
Receiver.
If your cable box has its own remote to
change channels, you will probably be
able to program the TV's remote to
control both the TV and the cable box.
To program the remote, press and hold
the DSS•CABLE button, then the two-
digit code number for your brand of
cable box. Refer to the chart below to
find the code number for your cable
box. Press the POWER button next to
confirm operation.
You may need to try each of the code
numbers listed for your brand until you
find the one that works.
After the TV's remote is programmed,
you'll be able to turn on the cable box
by pressing DSS•CABLE, then
POWER. You can change channels on
the cable box by pressing the CHAN
buttons whenever the remote is in the
"cable" mode. To put the remote in the
"cable" mode, press the DSS•CABLE
button. Press the TV button to put the
remote back into the TV mode so the
remote buttons will control the TV
again.
