command console make up a HOME Control SYSTEM, allowing you to send
commands to most IR controlled devices from any room in your home, up to
100 feet away.

The Radio Shack 6 in 1 RF Remote Control System's remote control contains
an IR (Infrared) transmitter as well as an 1 RF (Radio Frequency)
transmitter.  The Radio Shack 6 in 1 RF Remote Control System allows you
to send commands to your standard infrared remote controlled devices from
anywhere in your house with the use of the 6 in 1 1 RF Remote Control
System's remote control an 1 RF command console.  In addition, the remote
control can replace up to six standard infrared (IR) remote controls.

The 6 in 1 RF Remote Control System's RF command console allows you to
control your IR remote controlled devices THROUGH THE WALLS.  The powerful
RF (radio frequency) signal, emitted whenever your press a key on the
6 in 1 RF Remote Control System's remote control, sends a command to the
6 in 1 RF Remote Control System's RF command console that is unaffected by
household walls. The 1 RF command console then emits a corresponding IR
signal to your IR remote controlled devices.

The 6 in 1 RF Remote Control System's remote control is preprogrammed.
All you have to do is tell the remote control which remote controls you
want to replace (by entering 3-digit codes) and the 6 in 1 RF Remote
Control System's remote control does the rest.  It's as simple as 1-2-3.

This manual includes a list of 3-digit manufacturer's codes for TVs, VCRs,
cable converters, compact disc players, satellites, and other popular
remote controlled devices.

After you've entered the 3-digit manufacturer's codes for your original
remote, the 6 in 1 RF Remote Control System's remote control is automat-
ically ready to operate most of the same functions as the original remote.

HOW THE 6 in 1 RF REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM'S REMOTE CONTROL WORKS

Before you begin to use the Radio Shack 6 in 1 RF Remote Control System's
remote control, it is helpful to understand a little about how it works -
nothing technical - only an idea of what you can expect from the 6 in 1 RF
Remote Control System and its different groups of keys.

When you set up the 6 in 1 RF Remote Control System's remote control, its
command keys work like the keys on your original remote controls.  For
example, a key on your original remote controls labeled PWR ON/OFF is
equivalent to the 6 in 1 RF Remote Control System's remote control's POWER
key.
