The universal remote is
preprogrammed to control an RCA
DSS
®
receiver. If your cable box has
its own remote to change channels, you
will probably be able to program the
TV’s remote to control both the TV
and the cable box.
The TV’s remote is designed to control
several brands of cable boxes. To
program the remote, press and hold the
DSS•CABLE button, then the two-digit
code number for your brand of cable
box. Refer to the chart below to find
the code number for your cable box.
Press the POWER button next to
confirm operation.
You may need to try each of the code
numbers listed for your brand until you
find the one that works.
After the TV’s remote is programmed,
you’ll be able to turn on the cable box
by pressing DSS•CABLE, then
POWER. You can change channels on
the cable box by pressing the CHAN
buttons whenever the remote is in the
“cable” mode. To put the remote in the
“cable” mode, press the DSS•CABLE
button. Press the TV button to put the
remote back into the TV mode so the
remote buttons will control the TV
again.
1. Refer to the chart below to find the
code number that corresponds to the
brand name of your cable box. Keep
this number in mind. If more than
one number is listed, you may need
to try each one separately until you
find the one that works.
2. Press and hold the DSS•CABLE
button on remote.
3. Press two number buttons (first one,
then the other) to enter the code
number for your brand of cable box.
Note: You must press the two number
buttons while pressing the DSS•CABLE
button.
4. Point the remote at the cable box and
press the POWER button to test the
code number.
• If the right number was entered, the
cable box should turn on. Pressing
the CHAN buttons should then
also change channels on the
cable box.
• If the cable box does not react to
the remote (or if the remote turns
on the cable box but does not
change channels), repeat steps 1
thru 4 with another code number.
Operating Notes:
• After the remote is programmed, it will
turn on the cable box whenever you press
DSS•CABLE and then POWER. To turn
off the cable box, press DSS•CABLE, then
POWER.
• To change channels on the cable box,
press DSS•CABLE then CHAN up or
down.
• You may have to reprogram the remote
control if you change its batteries. Try
not to press any buttons while changing
batteries.
• Depending on the age, brand, model and
type of cable box, some models may not
be able to respond to the remote.
