TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM:

Universal Remote Control at your home entertainment
component and that you are within 15 feet of the
component you are trying to control.
PROBLEM:

not control component or commands are not recognized
properly.
SOLUTION:
Try all listed codes for the device brand being
set up. Make sure all components can be operated with an
infrared remote control.
PROBLEM:
TV/VCR combo does not respond properly.
SOLUTION:
Use the VCR codes for your brand. Some combo
units may require both a TV code and a VCR code for full
operation (see page 8).
