• The remote control may only operate
some features of your Cable Box/DBS.
For example, the remote control may
turn off the Cable Box/DBS power, but
it may not change channels at the
Cable Box/DBS.
• If you can not change the channels at
the Cable Box by using the Number
buttons, press the VCR PLUS+/ENTER
button after you press the Number
buttons. It may change channels at the
Cable Box.
• When you replace the batteries in the
remote control, you may have to pro-
gram the remote control again. For
future reference, you may want to
write down or circle the code you used.
• Remember to point the remote control
toward the Cable Box/DBS (not the
VCR) during steps 1-6.
• Some Cable Boxes can only be turned
on at the Cable Box.
