HOW THE REMOTE WORKS
Before you begin to use the 3-in-1, it is helpful to understand a little
about how it works - nothing technical - only an idea of what you can
expect from the 3-in-1.
After you set up the 3-in-1, its command keys work like the keys on your
original remote controls, though the labeling might differ slightly. For
example, a key on your original remote control labeled PWR ON/OFF is
equivalent to the 3-in-1's PWR key.
NOTES: P is a special key that you use when you set up (program) the
3-in-1 to replace your original remote controls.
TV, VCR, and CBL are device keys. You use them when you set up the
3-in-1 to replace your original remote controls. You also use the
device keys during normal operation to tell the 3-in-1 which device
you want to control.
PWR (power), MUTE, and LAST (recall) operate the same as on your
original remote control.
Whenever you use the 3-in-1's RECORD key, you must press it twice.
This safety feature helps prevent you from accidentally erasing
video tapes.
SETTING UP THE 3-IN-1
INSTALLING BATTERIES
CAUTION: Be sure to have fresh batteries ready to install before you
remove the old batteries. The 3-in-1's memory only lasts about
a minute without the batteries. If the memory is lost, simply
re-enter the 3-digit manufacturers' codes for your remote
controlled devices.
1. Press the battery compartment cover tab and lift off the cover.
2. Install two fresh AAA alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555)
as indicated by the illustration in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
When the 3-in-1's range decreases or the 3-in-1 operates erratically,
replace the batteries.
NOTE: Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you install
the batteries. This can press down keys and reduce battery life.
SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
1. Refer to "Manufacturers' Codes" and write down the codes for your
original remote controls on the provided label.
2. Press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing (TV, VCR,
or CBL).
3. Press down and hold P until the red indicator blinks twice, and
continue holding it down as you enter the 3-digit manufacturer's code.
For example, to replace a Panasonic TV's remote control (manufacturer
code 051), press:
TV - P - O - 5 - 1
NOTE: The red indicator at the top of the 3-in-1 flashes twice when
you enter a code that it recognizes. (This does not mean that
it is the right code for your device.)
4. Release P.
5. Point the 3-in-1 at your device and press PWR. The device should turn
on (or off, if it was on).
Repeat these steps for additional devices.
NOTES: The punch-through feature is automatically turned on for the TV's
volume and mute controls. This means that when you select CBL and
press one of the volume buttons or MUTE, the remote actually sends
the codes to the television to control it, not the cable converter.
If you want to use your cable converter's VOLUME and MUTE controls,
disable the punch-through feature for these buttons. See "Punch
Through."
If the remote does not operate your device, try other codes listed
in "Manufacturers' Codes" for your brand of TV, VCR, or cable box.
If your device still does not respond, follow the steps outlined
in "If You Have Problems."
