CABLE
Cable television converters
TV
Televisions
VIDEO
VCR, DVD players

Laser Disk (LD) players
DMX & DCR Digital Music Converters
Your remote control is pre-programmed to operate the

®
digital
converters. However, it must be programmed (set-up) to
operate your TV, VCR and AUDIO devices.
Programming your remote is a simple procedure using Point

remote self-programs to each of your devices, eliminating the
need to use codes. Programming your remote can also be
done by entering code numbers.

Before Getting Started
Some of the special features on your remote control are:
Cable Pre-Programmed
Your remote control is pre-programmed to operate the
Scientific-Atlantra Explorer
®
and Pioneer Voyager
®
digital
converters. If you are operating either of these converters,
no cable programming is necessary.
Point and Press™ Programming
Lets you program your TV, VCR and Audio devices
without using codes. For more information, see sections
5, 6 and 7.
SmartKeys™
Program multiple button presses on the [CABLE], [TV],
and [BYPASS] buttons. For more information, see section
13.
[DEVICE]
This button lets you select the operating mode of the
remote control.
Press [DEVICE] and the current mode button will
illuminate. While the current mode button is illuminated,
press one of the other non-illuminated mode buttons to
operate a different device.
Memory Guard™
Eliminates reprogramming after battery changes provided
new batteries are installed within 4 hours of removal of old
batteries.

Installing / Replacing Batteries
Install two (2) “AAA” batteries as indicated by the diagram in
the battery compartment.
When the batteries become too weak to operate the remote
control properly, the mode keys will become dim or not
illuminate at all during use. When this happens, install 2 new
“AAA’” size batteries.
Your remote control has Memory Guard
, which eliminates
reprogramming after battery changes provided new batteries
are installed within 4 hours of removal of old batteries.
