find the remote control code for your cable TV
converter.
• First look up your converter's
remote code
number before going through the Direct Entry

use the
Search
Method
for
identification.
(1) Slide CATV/DVD-TV/VCR
switch to CATV.
(2) Press and hold down DISPLAY and CH • on
your remote control.
Then release both buttons.
(3) Within 10 seconds after releasing

enter your converter's
two-digit

• The remote control
is now ready to send
commands to your converter.
• Some brands have more than one remote code
listed due to changes in the remote codes from
early to later model years. In such cases, you
may have to try more than one code to find
the code your converter accepts.

Tips on identifying
your cable converter
Be Patient: A minute or two can seem a lot
longer when you're waiting for something to
happen,
but the code should
be identified
within 2 minutes. Remember,
it is only a one-
time set-up.
Be careful not to let the CATV converter scan
more than 5 channels when the indicator starts
to move up. If you continue holding down the
DISPLAY and CH •
after 5 channel scans,
the proper remote code can be passed up, and
the 2 minute identifying
cycle will have to be
repeated.
If a channel
change does not occur on the
cable converter
within 2 minutes,
read the
identifying
instructions
again and repeat the
steps. Should a channel change still not occur,
the remote will not operate with the desired
converter.
