USING THE GENIUS REMOTE TO CONTROL CABLE BOX FUNCTIONS
USING THE GENIUS REMOTE TO CONTROL CABLE BOX FUNCTIONS
• To operate your cable box, point the Genius remote at the remote sensor of the cable
box.
The Genius remote is designed to operate different types of cable boxes. You must first
program the Genius remote to match the remote system of your cable box (Refer to
Table 2 on page 34 or Table 4 on page 35).
(1) Turn ON your cable box.
(2) Set the Multi-page switch on the Genius remote to MENU/CATV.
(3) AIM the Genius remote at the front of your cable box.
(4) While holding down the SELECT button, press the button that matches your cable
box as shown on page 34 or 35. The channels on the cable box will begin changing
after 5 seconds when the correct button is pressed. When this happens the Genius
Remote control is programmed for your cable box. If the cable box channels do not
change after 5 seconds, try a different Genius Remote button.
(5) Release both buttons when the cable box begins to change channels. The precoded
cable box buttons will now control your cable box.
NOTES:
• If your cable box cannot be operated after performing the above procedure, the codes
have not been precoded into the Genius remote control and it will not be able to operate
your cable box.
• You will only have to program your remote control to match your cable box once. The
remote will remember the codes until you replace the batteries.
• Whenever you install or replace batteries in the Genius remote, you must reprogram the
Genius remote to match the remote system of your cable box.
• When operating your TV or VCR, remember to set the Multi-Page select switch to the
proper position.
• Be sure to keep the original remote control for the cable box even if you use the Hitachi
Genius remote to control the cable box.
