Basic Functions

Key Function
Volume +/-, Channel +/-, Mute
These keys operate just as those on your original remote
control. When SHIFT is pressed first, volume and channel
can be used to control color and brightness (see page 22).
Number Keys
The Number keys (0-9, 10, 20) provide functions just like
- --
/
your original remote, such as direct access programme
selection. If your original remote uses one/two digit input
switching (-/-- symbol), this function can be obtained by
AV
pressing the -/-- key, which is the same as the 10 key.
If your original remote used an AV key, this can be found
by pressing the 20 key.
Scan
The Scan key allows you to easily browse through the
programmes on your TV, VCR or Satellite. See page 16 for
more details.
PIP
If available on your original remote, the PIP key will access
the Picture-in-Picture feature of your TV, VCR and SAT.
PP (Previous Programme)
Operates the same as the Previous Programme key on
your original remote (can also be called Last Channel or
Recall).
Normalize
If available on your original remote, the Normalize key
returns all settings of your television to their standard levels.
Audio, Video
These keys can be used for programming sequences. See
page 19 for more details.
Video Recorder Keys
After pressing VCR, these keys operate the functions of
your VCR. To prevent accidental recording, the Record key
must pressed twice to start recording.
Teletext/Fastext Keys
After pressing the TV key, the top row of VCR keys are
used to operate the main Teletext functions of your
Television. The symbols below the top row of keys are for
Teletext. Of course, your Television must be Teletext
capable. For an explanation of the teletext symbols, please
refer to page 16.
After pressing the TV key, the bottom row of VCR keys
marked red, green, yellow and blue allow you to access
(red)
the Fastext functions of your television. Again, your
television must be fastext capable to operate these
(green)
functions. For a more detailed explanation of how
Teletext and Fastext work, please refer to the manual of
your Televison.
(yellow)
Also, some devices require you to use the fastext keys to
(blue)
operate menu control. If so, these keys will function the
same way as on your orginal remote.
