Using the Remote to Control a Device

Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to
use it to control your devices.
To operate the device:
1. Press the device button (TV, VCR, DIRECTV, VCR2 or AUX) to set the
remote to control the device.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the device on or off.
3. Use the remote control buttons that apply to that device.
• If your remote is programmed to control a VCR, you only need to
press the RECORD button to begin recording from video.

Modes of Operation

Because this universal remote can control several different devices (DVD
player, VCR, cable box, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the
device buttons. For example, if you wanted the remote to control the
TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode.
Then, if you want to play a videotape, press VCR, then PLAY (pointing
the remote control at the VCR).

Controlling a Second Satellite Receiver

The remote can control two satellite receivers. From the Main menu,
select Options, then System Options, then Remote Setup. Then follow
the on-screen instructions and enter the appropriate code from the
Satellite Receiver list at the end of this section. By default, the DIRECTV
button is used to control the first satellite receiver and the AUX button
is used to control the second satellite receiver.
This remote control may not operate
all models of the brands that are
shown. Use the codes shown in this
manual, or on the sheet packed with
your remote.
If your second receiver is an RCA, GE,
or Proscan and you want to control it
using the AUX button, use code 5001.
Code 5000 is used by the DIRECTV
button.
