Code Retrieval

Once you've programmed the remote to control your components,
you may want to record the codes for future reference. If you used the
Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just find the codes you
programmed in and make a note of them in the boxes below. If you
used one of the Code Search methods to program your remote or if
you used the Direct Entry method but don't remember the code, you
will need to retrieve each component's four-digit code. Retrieving the
actual code and writing it down will save you time if you ever need to
program the remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when you
change the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use the Direct
Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your components,
which is quick and easy. Example used is for TV component set up.
1. Press and hold the component key (TV,
DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) whose code
you wish to retrieve. The illuminated
component name turns on.
2. While holding the component key down,
press and hold the INFO key. After
(NAME

seconds, all of the component names
illuminate and stay on.
3. Release both keys. The name of the
current component remains on, while all
(NAMES LIGHTS UP)
other component names turn off.
2. Starting with the number 1 key, press
and release each number key on the
keypad in the following order (1-9, then
(STAYS LIT)
0). The number that causes the
illuminated component name to blink is
the first number of the code. As you find
each number of the code, refer to the
code boxes to write them down for future
reference.
Note: All TV codes begin with the number
1; all VCR codes begin with the number 2;
all DVDs, the number 3; and all satellite
receivers and cable boxes, the number 5.
3. Repeat step 5 until you have retrieved all
four numbers in the code.
4. After the fourth number is retrieved, the
illuminated component name blinks
briefly, then turns off.

TIP
To exit without saving at any point in the Auto
Code Search, press and release the GO BACK key.
Note: If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval process,
the remote will not respond. If you do not press a valid Code Retrieval
key (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL, INFO, GO BACK), Code
Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The illuminated component name
blinks four times, and then turns off.

Using the Remote to Control
Your Components
Because this remote controls more than one component, you must first
"tell" the remote which component you wish to operate. That means,
if you wish to operate your TV, you must first press the TV key to put
the remote in the TV Mode.
The remote stays in the chosen component mode (such as TV Mode)
until you change it. If your remote is in TV Mode, you must change
the mode in order to operate your DVD or VCR, auxiliary component,
satellite receiver or cable box. For example, if you are in VCR Mode,
and you wish to turn off your TV, you must press the TV key first
before pressing the ON·OFF key.

On-screen Menus

Accessing and Selecting Menu Items
Today's advanced components use on-screen menus to help you
navigate through all their features and functions. While this remote
cannot access every menu system of every component model,
it does offer some menu functionality. Example used is for TV
component set up.
To use a component's on-screen menu system, you first have to put
the remote in Menu Mode.
1. Make sure your components are turned on and your TV is set to
the component's input mode (Use the INPUT key to toggle
through inputs when in TV Mode.)
2. Press the component key whose menu
you want to access.
3. Press the MENU key. The illuminated
component name blinks, indicating you
are in the Menu Mode.
4. Use the VOL+/- and/or CH+/- keys
to navigate through the on-screen
menu system.
5. To make a selection from the on-screen
menu, press the MENU or OK key to
select the highlighted item.
! TIP
If the remote doesn't respond,
check to see that the illuminated component
name is still blinking. Remember: it times
out after 10 seconds. If this happens, just
press the MENU key again, and then retry
your selection.
Note: Menu Mode support in TV Mode is
dependent on the TV Code. The following
TV codes are supported:
RCA –
SONY –
JVC –
Panasonic – Code 1170
Toshiba –
Sharp –
Menu Mode is supported for all brands of
DVD players and satellite receivers, and is
not supported for VCRs or CABLE.

Exiting a Menu Mode

The remote automatically times out of Menu Mode after 10 seconds of
inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that time, the remote clears the
displayed menu from the TV.
If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the corresponding
component key on the remote (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL). The
illuminated component name turns off.
