Troubleshooting

Problem: The remote does not operate your component.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD,
SAT•CBL) so the remote knows which component you
want to operate.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the
component. Make sure to aim the remote at the IR
sensor on the component.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
(See Battery Installation on page 3.)
Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries,
if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.
• Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold
the number 1 key on the remote for several seconds to reset
the microprocessor inside the remote. Release
the number 1 key, reinstall the batteries, and press the
ON•OFF key. If it lights up, reprogram the remote and
try again. If it doesn't light up, replace the batteries
with new ones.
Problem: The remote can't be programmed to operate
your component.
• If you are testing the remote after you have entered the
code, you may be too far away from the component or at a
wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) technology to
communicate with components. The remote sends the code,
and the component's IR sensor reads the code. Therefore,
there must be an unobstructed path between the remote
and the IR sensor on the component. Move closer and make
sure you point the remote at the component (VCR or DVD
player when programming the VCR•DVD key; TV when
programming the TV key; cable box or satellite receiver
when you're programming the SAT•CBL key).
• If you've used the Direct Entry programming methods
to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not
functioning properly, try one of the Code Search methods.
(See Code Search Methods on pages 7 and 9.)
• To control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you must
program both the TV key and the VCR•DVD key. Once
programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV
