USING THE CONTROLLER WITH A
“UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL”
Universal handheld remote controls are popular as they can typically
control a TV, a VCR, a cable box and audio components. They are
also cheap and ideal replacements for lost and broken units. The
rotator controller will respond to commands from universal remote
controls confgured to control most Pioneer
®
brand cable converter
boxes (HH1 mode) or most Pioneer
®
brand CD players (HH2 mode).
See
Appendix A
. Refer to the instructions supplied with the universal
remote control.
NOTES:
Hy-gain cannot guarantee universal handheld remote control
compatibility.
