Using the Remote to Control Your
Components
Because this remote controls more than one component, you must first "tell" the
remote which component you wish to operate. That means, if you wish to operate
your TV, you must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV Mode.
The remote stays in the chosen mode until you change it. If your remote is in TV
Mode, you must change the mode in order to operate other components. For
example, if you are in VCR Mode, and you wish to turn off your TV, you must press
the TV key first before pressing the ON·OFF key.

Volume Punch-through

Volume Punch-through allows the VOL+, VOL- and MUTE keys, when pressed in
VCR, DVD, DVR, SAT and CABLE modes, to "punch through" to either TV or
AUDIO, whichever was accessed last. Volume Punch-through occurs automatically
and allows you to control the volume without exiting the current mode. (If the AUX
key has been programmed with a TV or AUDIO code, that must be considered
when determining the last active TV or AUDIO component used.)
Note: Volume Punch-through does not occur in cases where the component code
has its own volume/mute data, such as a satellite receiver with its own
volume/mute control, or is volume/mute data has been learned for this device.

Advanced Punch-through

Volume Punch-through, as described above, occurs automatically. However, if you
want to specify whether the Volume Punch-through is directed to the TV or AUDIO
while in VCR, DVR, DVD, CD, SAT or HDTV STB modes, follow the steps below.
This option can also be enabled for an AUX key, if it is programmed with a VCR,
DVR, DVD, CD, SAT or HDTV STB.
1. Press and hold any component key programmed for VCR, DVR, DVD, CD, SAT
or HDTV. The illuminated component name turns on.
2. While holding down the component key, press and hold the VOL+ key. The
illuminated component name turns off.
3. After holding down both keys for 3 seconds, the illuminated component name
turns on and stays on. Release both keys.
4. Press and release the component key you want the Volume Punch-through to be
directed to from the selected mode (TV, AUDIO or AUX key). The illuminated
component name flashes, then turns off.
Note: The component key pressed in step 4 must be programmed with a TV or
AUDIO component. If an invalid key is pressed, the illuminated component name
flashes four times, then turns off.
5. Once you have programmed any component with a specified Volume Punch-
through, the Volume Punch-through for all other components defaults to AUDIO.
If you do not want other components' Volume Punch-through to default to
AUDIO, you must manually program them, using steps 1-4.

Transport Key Punch-through

Transport Key Punch-through allows the transport keys (REVERSE, PLAY,
FORWARD, RECORD, STOP and PAUSE), when pressed in TV, SAT, CABLE and
AUDIO modes, to "punch through" to VCR, DVR or DVD/CD mode, whichever
was accessed last. Transport Key Punch-through occurs automatically and allows
you to use the transport keys without exiting the current mode. (For example, if the
transport keys were last used in DVD mode and accessed again after pressing the
TV key, they will punch through to the DVD. The default Transport Key Punch-
through is set to DVD for TV, SAT, CABLE and AUDIO.
Note: Transport Key Punch-through does not occur in cases where the component
code has its own transport key data, such as a satellite receiver with a built-in DVR.
Sleep Timer (Select Models Only)
This feature automatically turns off your TV at a duration you choose from 1 to
99 minutes. The Sleep Timer only works if you have found a code that controls
your TV. The timing mechanism for the Sleep Timer is built into your universal
remote control. To program the Sleep Timer, follow these steps.
Note: Volume Punch-through does not occur in cases where the component code
has its own volume/mute data, such as a satellite receiver with its own
volume/mute control, or is volume/mute data has been learned for this device.

Programming the Sleep Timer
1. Press and release the TV key.
2. Press and hold the SLEEP key for three seconds.
The illuminated component name turns on.
3. Release the SLEEP key.
(NAME
LIGHTS UP) 4. Using the number keys, enter the desired time in
minutes (from 1-99 minutes). To set the timer to a
number under 10 minutes, first press 0 and then
the desired number (e.g., 05 for five minutes).
The illuminated component name blinks with
each keypress.
5. Once the second number is entered, the illuminated
component name turns off and the Sleep Timer is
now set.
! TIP
Any keypress other than the number keys
is ignored. If the sleep time is not entered within 15
seconds after pressing the SLEEP key, the illuminated
component name blinks four times and turns off,
indicating the attempt to program the Sleep Timer
has been unsuccessful.
(NAME BLINKS)
6. Leave the remote aimed at the TV. Once the Sleep
(LIGHT
Timer is set, you can continue to use the remote
OFF)
without affecting the Sleep Timer. However, the
remote must be in TV Mode and pointed at the TV
to activate the Sleep Timer.
Note: If the ON·OFF key is pressed, the Sleep Timer
is canceled.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The remote does not operate your component.
• Put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key
so the remote knows which component you want to operate.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component. Make sure to aim
the remote at the IR sensor on the component.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. Replace the batteries
with two new AA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.
• Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold the number 1 key on
the remote for several seconds to reset the microprocessor inside the remote.
Release the number 1 key, reinstall the batteries, and press the ON·OFF key. If the
ON·OFF indicator lights up, reprogram the remote and try again. If it doesn't
light up, replace the batteries with new ones.
Problem: The remote can't be programmed to operate your component.
• If you are testing the remote after you have entered the code, you may be too far
away from the component or at a wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared)
technology to communicate with components. The remote sends the code, and
the component's IR sensor reads the code. There must be an unobstructed path
between the remote and the IR sensor on the component. Move closer and make
sure you point the remote at the component to be programmed.
• If you've used the Direct Entry programming methods to enter the codes for your
brand and the unit is still not functioning properly, try one of the Code Search
methods.
• To control combo units, like TV/VCRs, TV/DVDs or TV/VCR/DVDs, use the
combo codes in the Code List to program the individual corresponding
component keys. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV
functions on you unit, and the DVD or VCR key controls the DVD or VCR
functions, respectively. you must program the individual corresponding
component keys to control each part of the combo unit. Once programmed
successfully, the TV key controls the TV functions on your unit, and the
DVR·AUX or DVD key controls the VCR or DVD functions, respectively. The
codes in the combo section should be tried first, using Direct Code Entry on the
TV and DVD or VCR keys. If this is unsuccessful, use one of the Search methods
to program your combo unit.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Problem: The remote is not performing commands properly.
• Put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key
so the remote knows which component you want to operate.
• Make sure component is "ready" (e.g., DVD player has disc loaded; VCR has
tape loaded, etc.)
