Menu Function – TV, DVD, SAT
The Menu function on your remote is used to make changes on selected settings. The

TV, DVD and SAT·CAB·DTC Modes. Each menu varies from brand to brand.
The TV Menu is used to make changes in the TV settings, such as chang-
ing color, channels and timers. The SAT·CAB·DTC Menu navigates
through your satellite receiver, DTV converter, or cable box guide screens,
to make changes in the satellite settings, such as channel lists and
passwords. The DVD Menu is used to make changes through the naviga-
tion screens, such as languages and subtitles.
While in Menu Mode,
VOL +/–

PROBLEM:
THE REMOTE CAN’T BE PROGRAMMED TO
OPERATE YOUR COMPONENT.
•
You may be too far away from the component or at
a wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) tech-
nology to communicate with components. The re-
mote sends the code and the component’s IR
sensor reads the code. Therefore, there must be an
unobstructed path between the remote and the IR
sensor on the component. Move closer and make
sure you point the remote at the component (VCR
when programming the
VCR·DVD
key; TV when pro-
gramming the
TV
key; cable box or satellite receiver
when you’re programming the
SAT·CBL·DTC
key).
•
If you’ve entered all of the codes for your brand
that are in the accompanying Code List and fol-
lowed the instructions, try the Code Search
method.
•
You must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key (
TV,
VCR·DVD, AUX
or
SAT·CBL·DTC
) so the remote
knows which component you want to operate.
•
To program the 4-component universal remote to
operate a combination unit (TV/VCR or TV/DVD),
first try the VCR or DVD codes for your brand. Some
units require that you program both the
TV
key
(using the TV codes) and the
VCR·DVD
key (using
the VCR or DVD codes) for full operation.
•
To program the 4-component universal remote to
operate a VCR/DVD combination unit, program the
VCR
key using the VCR codes and then program
the
AUX
key using the DVD codes.
PROBLEM:
THE INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT WHEN
YOU PRESS A KEY.
•
You must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key (
TV,
VCR·DVD, AUX
or
SAT·CBL·DTC
) so the remote
knows which component you want to operate.
•
You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode
the remote is in (for example,
RECORD
only works
in VCR Mode).
•
Make sure the batteries are properly installed.
•
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries.
PROBLEM:
THE REMOTE DOES NOT OPERATE YOUR COMPONENT.
•
You must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key (
TV,
VCR·DVD, AUX
or
SAT·CBL·DTC
) so the remote
knows which component you want to operate.
•
Remove any obstacles between the remote and the
component. Make sure to aim the remote at the IR
sensor on the component.
•
Make sure the batteries are properly installed (See
Battery Installation).
•
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries.
PROBLEM:
THE REMOTE IS NOT PERFORMING
COMMANDS PROPERLY.
•
You must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key so the
remote knows which component you want to oper-
ate.
•
Make sure component is “ready” (e.g., DVD player
has disc loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).
•
You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode
the remote is in (e.g., RECORD only works in VCR
mode).
•
If operating a VCR to record, you must press the
RECORD
key two times.
•
If you’re trying to change channels, try pressing the
OK
key after entering the channel number as this is
a requirement of certain models and brands.
•
There is a possibility that a programmed code may
only be able to control some of your component
features (e.g., only turns a component on and off).
Follow the steps provided for programming the re-
mote (See Programming Section). If the compo-
nent can be turned on and off, make sure you
press the
CHAN +/–
key to see if the component
responds. If not, try the next code from the list.
PROBLEM:
THE VCR WON’T RECORD.
•
As a safety feature, you must press the
RECORD
key twice to begin recording.
•
Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.
•
Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the
safety tab is removed the tape is write-protected
and you cannot record onto that tape.
PROBLEM:
THE REMOTE WILL NOT CHANGE CHANNELS.
•
You must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key (
TV,
VCR·DVD, AUX
or
SAT·CBL·DTC
) so the remote
knows which component you want to operate.
•
Press the
OK
key after you enter a channel number.
PROBLEM:
THE COMPONENT’S MENU DOESN’T APPEAR ON THE
TV SCREEN.
•
Make sure your component(s) are turned on and
your TV is tuned to the appropriate video source
and use the input key to toggle through video
sources connected to your TV.
•
Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. If that’s
the case, you’ll need to use your original remote
control to access menu functions for these compo-
nents.
