step 1 of this procedure.

Change Channel Control

The remote is set by default to control channel
selection on the set-top. You can also program channel
control to control any of the TV, DVD,
or AUX mode devices provided the device allows for
channel control assignment. Or, you can set the
channel selection control programming to control
channels (or page up or down) for all of the devices
programmed in the four mode keys. Otherwise, you
will only be able to control channels (or page up or
down) on a specific device, for example, the TV or
DVD.
