Setting the remote to control devices
made by other manufacturers
You can set the remote to work with other
video recorders, DVD players or set-top boxes if
the infra-red code of the device type appears in the
code list or if it is held in the RC3‘s code memory.
Even if the device‘s manufacturer appears in
the code list, it could be that the device cannot be
controlled.
Using a code input to set the remote
Look for the code number for your device in the
code list (see from page 63). The list is sorted
according to device type – DVD, VCR, STB – and
alphabetically by manufacturer. You will
fi
nd one
or more code numbers next to the manufacturer
name.
Use the rotary switch to select
whether you want to switch to
using a VCR, DVD device or a
set-top box.
Press the

but-
tons simultaneously for at least
5 seconds. The display in the top
left of the remote control will
fl
ash twice.
Key in, one at a time, the four
fi
gures that you have found in the
code list (e.g. 0539 for the Loewe
DVD player).
After each
fi
gure that you key in,
the display will
fl
ash once, and
after the last
fi
gure it will
fl
ash
twice. If the
fi
gure was wrong, the display will stay
illuminated for longer. This means that the code
number has not been accepted. If a double-
fl
ash
signi
fi
es that the code has been accepted, you can
test the functionality of the device that you have
programmed.
If you are unable to control the device, or have
dif
fi
culty in controlling it properly, repeat the code
input with the next code in the list. If there are no
other codes listed for the manufacturer in question,
try using the remote control‘s suggestions.
