Setting the Remote to Operate a TV 21

• The remote control may only operate

some features of your TV. For exam-
ple, the remote control may turn on
the TV power, but it may not change
channels at the TV.

• If you can not change the channels

at the TV using the Number but-
tons, press the ENTER button after
you press the Number buttons. It
may change channels at the TV.

• When you replace the batteries in

the remote control, you must pro-
gram the remote control again.

• Remember to point the remote con-

trol toward the TV during steps 1-6.

Helpful Hints

4

Within 30 seconds, press the TV button.

3

Press the MUTE button.

5

Within 30 seconds, press the Number buttons to enter
the two-digit code for your TV brand. For example, if you
have a Zenith TV, press Number buttons 0, 6.

Your VCR remote control may operate your TV. If the remote
control doesn’t operate your TV now, follow the steps below.

1

Point the remote control at your TV and press the TV
button. Then, press the POWER button. If your TV turns
on or off, try the other TV buttons (see pages 23-24). If your TV
doesn’t turn on or off, or if the other buttons don’t work, go to
step 2.

2

Find the brand of your TV on the list below, and remem-
ber the two-digit number beside it.

6

Repeat step 1. If the remote control works your TV, you’re fin-
ished. If the remote control still doesn’t work your TV, repeat
steps 3-5, using a different code for your brand (if available).

There is no guarantee that the

remote will work your TV.
