Using the SideKick
TM
The SideKick
TM
remote control offers
the simplest way to
enjoy watching one of
your favorite activities.
Typically programmed
for either TV or
Satellite viewing, it
does not replace the
MX700
TM
, but it does
offer a comfortable,
ultra simple interface
perfect for casual
users or children.
The ON button turns on your entire
home theater and sets it up to watch
TV or Satellite (whatever is your
favorite). The OFF button turns the
entire system off. Remember to hold
the remote steady and pointed at the
system until all components are cor-
rectly powered on or off. Turning on
the system may take ten to twenty
seconds.
TIP

You can tell when to stop
pointing the SideKick
TM
when
the command LED indicator
stops flashing.

tons will operate the device pro-
grammed into these buttons.There are
also three Favorite buttons that take
you directly to your three favorites
(typically channels) with one button
press. The LIGHT button will light up
the SideKick buttons for easy visibility
in low-light conditions.
