component you want to operate.

Notes on Using the Remote
Commander

Basically, use this Commander in the same way as
the Commander supplied with your TV or VCR.
• Using this Commander will not increase the

functions of your TV or VCR.  The functions of
the Commander are limited to the functions of
the components themselves.  For example, if your
TV does not have a Recall function, the 

RECALL

button on this Commander will not function with
your TV.

• Some functions of your TV or VCR may not work

with this Commander.

Troubleshooting

If you’re having problems setting
up or using the Remote
Commander:

• When setting up the Commander, carefully go

through the procedures described under
“Setting the Code”.  If the code that’s listed
first for your component doesn’t work, try all
the codes listed for your component – in the
order in which they’re listed.  If all the codes
fail to work (or if your component is not listed
in this manual), try using the procedures
under “Searching for the Correct Code”.

• Check that you’re aiming the Commander

directly at the component, and that there are
no obstructions between the Commander and
the component.

• Check that the slide switch is set to the

component you want to control.

• Make sure the batteries you’re using are not

worn out, and that they’re inserted correctly.

• Check that the component has infrared remote

capability.  For example, if your component
didn’t come with a remote, it probably isn’t
capable of being controlled by a Remote
Commander.
