Using Different Remote Codes
Using Alternate Component Keys on your Remote
The HDS4.2 will also respond to alternate component key codes. Allowing you to use an unused
TV, VCR, RCVR or one of the added AUX positions many remotes include.
Setting up the HDS4.2 to respond to alternate component codes is a two step process. You must
first program your universal remote control to behave as one of the alternate components. You must
then teach the HDS4.2 to respond to the alternate component codes.
Programming your remote to different components
The HDS4.2 will respond to eight different pre-programmed component codes, they are: Yamaha
VCR, Hitachi Satellite, Sony TV, Go Video VCR, Awia DVD, Nakamichi Receiver, Jerrold Cable Box
and a Symphonic TV. The following table shows the different component buttons and codes used
to program a few different universal remotes.
If your remote control’s model matches one of the above, read your remote’s user manual for in-
structions on programming your remote control, then use the above device and manufacturer codes
to setup your remote.
If your remote is not included above list, or the manufacturer code given does not work, then you
will have to follow your remote controls instructions for programming one of the above components
and search for a proper match. See the next section. Or teach the HDS4.2 a new set of codes, See:
"Learning New Remote Codes"
on page 9.
Teaching the HDS4.2 a new component code
After your remote control has been programmed to act like one of the 8 built in code-sets, teaching
the HDS4.2 to use the new code set is simple.
