You can program your remote control in Limited Mode to keep from
accidentally changing the channel on your TV or VCR. When you use the
remote to control your TV in Limited Mode, you are only able to use the
POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME buttons. Also, when you use the remote to
control your VCR in Limited Mode, you are only able to use the POWER and
VCR tape control buttons.
The section Set Up the Remote Control has a step that tells the remote control to
go into Limited Mode.
: Limited Mode is not used with amplifiers.
Note
SAT Auto-Tune
SAT Auto-Tune programs into the remote control the correct TV channel used
for viewing your satellite programming. If you are experiencing fuzzy, blue, or
black screens, it might be due to the TV being set to the wrong channel. Using
the SAT Auto-Tune feature helps prevent fuzzy, blue, or black screens from
occurring. When the TV mode button is pressed and released, the remote sends
that channel to the TV, ensuring that the TV is on the correct channel for
viewing your satellite programming.
To use this feature, you must program the channel by following the steps under
Setting SAT Auto-Tune Channel.
Setting SAT Auto-Tune Channel
1. Make sure the remote control operates your TV.
2. Press and hold the TV mode button until all four mode buttons are lit.
3. Press STAR (*), then enter the channel used for viewing satellite TV. You
can enter up to three digits in the range of 002 to 125. For example, if the
TV needs to be on channel 100, enter *100.
4. Press POUND (#). The TV mode button flashes three times to indicate
programming was successful.
Disabling the SAT Auto-Tune Channel
If you decide that you do not want the TV programmed to the TV channel used
for viewing your satellite programming, follow the steps below to disable SAT
Auto-Tune. This only needs to be done if you followed the steps for Setting SAT
Auto-Tune Channel on page 12.
1. Press and hold the SAT mode button until all four mode buttons are lit.
2. Press the STAR (*) button, then press VOLUME DOWN.
3. Press the POUND (#) button. The SAT button flashes three times to
