(e.g., menu functions) that initially may not be controlled by the remote; but in such cases, the TAKE 10 can easily learn the commands from your original remote. The TAKE 10 remote is capable of many other features that are also described in this manual.
This gives you the freedom to control devices that are not in the same physical location as the remote. The TAKE 10 is very intuitive and has built-in Help, but it’s very useful to become familiar with the remote by first reading this manual. After you’ve become familiar with the TAKE 10, the first thing you need to do is to install the batteries and setup your remote using the on-screen instructions.
