About Your Remote

Your new Z8 Series remote 
control (remote) can operate both 
your TV and your cable set-top 
device (set-top). 

Your remote is initially set up 
to operate your set-top. See 

Setting Up the TV Mode Key

 

so the remote can also operate 
your TV.

Batteries

The remote requires two alkaline 
AA batteries. A diagram inside 
the battery compartment of 
the remote indicates proper 
placement of the batteries.

Mode Keys

Mode keys are the two buttons 
labeled STB and TV at the top of 
your remote. These keys switch 
the remote to operate either 
the set-top or the TV, with two 
exceptions:

1) The numeric channel keys 0-9 

operate the set-top. If you 
wish to use the channel keys 
to operate the TV, see 

Setting 

Up Channel Control

.

2) Initially, the volume key 

operates the set-top. After you 
set up the TV mode key, the 
volume key operates the TV. 
If you wish to change the way 
the volume key operates, see 

Setting Up Volume Control

.

Setting Up Your TV Codes 

If your TV is not already set up 
in this remote, setup codes help 
your remote identify and operate 
your brand of TV.

not a toy. It should be kept out of 
the reach of children under the
