Using The Remote To Control A Device
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to control your
devices.
To operate the device:
1.
Press the device button (TV, VCR, DIRECTV, VCR2, or AUX) to set the remote to control
the device.
2.
Press ON•OFF to turn the device on or off.
3.
Use the remote control buttons that apply to that device.
Note: If your remote is programmed to control a VCR, you only need to press the
RECORD button to begin recording from video.
Modes Of Operation
Because this universal remote can control several different devices (DVD player, VCR, cable
box, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the device buttons. For example, if you
wanted the remote to control the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into
TV mode. Then, if you want to play a videotape press VCR then PLAY (pointing the remote
at the VCR).
Controlling A Second Satellite Receiver
The remote can control two satellite receivers. From the Main Menu, select Options, then
System Options, then Remote Setup. Then follow the on-screen instructions and enter the
appropriate code from the Satellite Receiver list at the end of this section. By default, the
DIRECTV button is used to control the first satellite receiver and the AUX button is used to
control the second satellite receiver.
If your second receiver is an RCA, GE, or ProScan and you want to control it using the AUX
button, use code 5001. Code 5000 is used by the DIRECTV button.
