is automatically set to control the component whose key
you just pressed to leave the Menu Mode . For example,
if the remote is in DVD Menu Mode, press the DVD key
to exit the Menu Mode . The remote is now out of Menu
Mode and is set to control the DVD . To control another
component, simply press the component key for the unit
you wish to control (TV, VCR, satellite receiver or cable box) .

Troubleshooting

Problem: The remote does not operate your component.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVD,
SAT·CBL) 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 . (See Battery Installation on page 3 . ) Replace
the batteries with two new AAA 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 LED indicator light turns
on, 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 . Therefore, 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 (VCR player when programming the VCR
key; DVD when programming the DVD key; TV when
programming the TV key; cable box or satellite receiver
when you're programming the SAT·CBL key) .
• If you've used the Direct Entry programming method
to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not
functioning properly, try the Code Search method . (See
Code Search on page 5 .)
• To control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you
must program both the TV key and the VCR or DVD
key . Once programmed successfully, the TV key
controls the TV functions on your unit, and the VCR
or DVD key controls the VCR or DVD functions . There
is a specific section in the Code Lists for combo units .
The codes in this section should be tried first using
Direct Code Entry on the TV and VCR or DVD keys . If
this is unsuccessful, follow the normal programming
methods for both the TV and the VCR or DVD keys .
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly
installed .
