E. Programming the Transport Control/Menu Module (TCM)
TheTransportControl/MenuModule(TCM) maybeconfiguredfor
Single-

or
Multiple-Device
mode(toenableSingle-Devicemode,seethe

InMultiple-Device Mode,theTCMmaybeprogrammedwithasmanyas
ninedifferentcodesetsfordevicesyouwishtocontrol(e.g.VCR,DVD
player,CDplayer,documentcamera,etc.).TheTCMwillcontrolthedevice
