How to Use the Remote After You’ve
Programmed It
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to operate your
devices.
To operate the device:
1. Press the appropriate device button (SAT•CBL or DVD•VCR) to set the remote to control
the device, for example, press DVD to control your DVD player.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the device ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that device.
Notes:
The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of devices.
Modes of Operation
The button corresponding to the mode the remote is in lights up when you press any button
that works in that mode. For example, if you’re in TV mode and you press the VOL+ button,
the TV button lights up. This tells you that the command to increase the volume is being sent to
the TV (and not the satellite receiver, for example).
Volume Punchthrough Feature
You may fi nd this feature helpful if you’ve connected your devices to an audio system, and you
want to use the TV’s remote control to operate the volume for a device that is connected to the
audio system. An example follows:
Let’s say you’ve connected your DVD player to your audio system. You’ve also programmed
your TV remote control to operate your DVD player. Since the DVD player sends its volume
through the audio system, you would have to use the audio system’s remote to adjust the
volume and the TV’s remote control to operate the DVD player. The Volume Punchthrough
feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls and saves a button press when
you’re using the TV remote to adjust the volume.
After you’ve successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough feature, whenever the TV remote
is in DVD mode (press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you only have
to press the VOL +/- or MUTE buttons. Follow the instructions below to set up Volume
Punchthrough.
