Troubleshooting
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
,
SAT•CBL
) 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 fresh and are properly installed.
(See Battery Installation on page 3.)
Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries,
if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.
• Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold
the number 1 key on the remote for several seconds to reset
the microprocessor inside the remote. Release
the number 1 key, reinstall the batteries, and press the
ON•OFF
key. If it lights up, reprogram the remote and
try again. If it doesn’t light up, replace the batteries
with new ones.
Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate
your component.
• If you are testing the remote after you have entered the
code, you may be too far away from the component or at a
wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) technology to
communicate with components. The remote 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 or DVD
player when programming the
VCR•DVD
key; TV when
programming the
TV
key; cable box or satellite receiver
when you’re programming the
SAT•CBL
key).
• If you’ve used the Direct Entry programming methods
to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not
functioning properly, try one of the Code Search methods.
(See Code Search Methods on pages 7 and 9.)
• To control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you must
program both the
TV
key and the
VCR•DVD
key. Once
programmed successfully, the
TV
key controls the TV
5. Once the second number is
entered, the illuminated
ON•OFF
key turns off.
TIP:
Any keypress other than the
number keys is ignored. If you don’t
enter the sleep time within 10 seconds
after pressing the
SLEEP
key, you
must start over at step 1. The
illuminated
ON•OFF
key blinks four
times and then turns off, indicating
your attempt to program the Sleep
Timer has been unsuccessful.
6. The Sleep Timer is now set.
7. Leave remote aimed at the TV.
Once the Sleep Timer is set, you
can continue to use the remote
without affecting the Sleep Timer.
However, because the timing
mechanism for the Sleep Timer is
built into the remote itself,
the
remote must be in TV Mode and
pointed at the TV to activate the
Sleep Timer.
CANCELING THE SLEEP TIMER
1. The Sleep Timer program will
be canceled and reset to zero
by pressing and releasing the
ON•OFF
key.
