Command Sequences
You can set up your 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control to issue a set of up to
15 commands at the press of a key. Any sequence of commands you regularly
perform can be reduced to a single key press.
Setting a Sequence
Here is an example of how to set up a sequence of commands that turns on
your cable box and your TV and puts the TV on Channel 3, and how this
sequence works when you press VIDEO SEQ.
Note: The 6 in 1 must be pointed at the device.

2. Press 9 - 9 - 5. The red light blinks twice again. Then press VIDEO
SEQ.
3. Press CBL - PWR - TV - PWR - TV - 0 - 3 - CBL.
Note: If your device requires the use of an ENTER key to select a
channel, you must also use ENTER in your sequence.
4. To end the sequence, hold down SET UP until the red light blinks
twice.
Whenever you press the selected sequence key, your 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote
Control issues the sequence of commands you entered.
Erasing a Sequence
1. Hold down SET UP until the red light blinks twice.
2. Press 9 - 9 - 5. The red light blinks twice. Press the sequence
key you want to erase.
3. Press and release SET UP, then hold down SET UP until the red light
blinks twice. This means that your sequence is erased.
Punch-Through
Using Punch-Through
The punch-through feature lets you alternately control two different
devices without pressing the device selection keys for each one. Here's
how it works.
Not all of the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control's keys are used by every
device. For example, a TV is often the only device that uses the
volume keys. After you press TV, then press VCR, the volume control
not used by the VCR retains its TV function.
Note: The punch-through feature does not work if the last two devices
you selected have the same (or similar) features. For example,
most TVs and some cable converters have PWR keys on their remote
controls. In this case, you have press the desired device key
before you use this remote control's PWR key.
Turning Punch-Through On and Off
If your cable converter or VCR has a volume control, you can turn off the
punch-through feature to allow the 6 in 1 to control the volume of those
devices. This allows your cable converter or VCR to control the volume
of your TV set (if it is already do so). Once you turn off punch-through,
you must press the device key for the device (cable converter or VCR) you
want to use to control the volume.
Follow these steps to turn off punch-through.
1. Press the device key (CBL or VCR) for the device you want to use
to control the volume, for example. Then press SET UP until the red
light blinks twice.
2. Press 9 - 9 - 3. The red light blinks twice. Press the device key
(CBL or VCR) for the device you want to use to control the volume.
The red light blinks twice to indicate punch-through is turned off.
To turn on the punch-through feature, press SET UP -9 - 9 - 3 - TV. The
red light twice to indicate that punch-through is on.
Using The Sleep Timer
If your original remote control has a sleep timer function, your 6 in 1
IR/RF Remote Control's SLEEP key operates the same manner as the original
remote control's SLEEP key was pressed.
Controlling Lights and Appliances
The Plug 'n Power feature allows you to control lights and appliances,
using the supplied RF command console along with an optional IR command
console (RadioShack Unlimited No. 10037703). You also need Plug 'n Power
light modules and appliance modules (available through your local Radio-
Shack store) to use this feature.
Follow these steps to control Plug 'n Power modules.
1. Position the IR command console within the RF command console's line
of sight.
Note: For the best operation, position the controllers at least 2
feet apart.
2. Plug the IR command console's power cord into any standard AC outlet.
3. Set the house code dial on top of the IR command console to the same
letter as your Plug 'n Power modules.
4. Set the selector switch on the IR command console for the group of
modules you want to control (1-4 or 5-8).
5. Press Plug 'n Power on the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control.
6. To turn on all light and appliance modules set to the same code as the
IR command console, press All Lts On (PWR) on the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote
Control, or ALL LIGHTS ON on the IR command console.
To turn off all light and appliance modules set to the same house
code as the IR command console, press All Off (MUTE) on the 6 in 1
IR/RF Remote Control, or ALL UNITS OFF on the IR command console.
7. To turn on or off specific lights and appliances using the 6 in 1
IR/RF Remote Control, press the digit key (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or
8) for the module you want to control. Then press ON, or OFF (CH UP
ARROW or CH DOWN ARROW).
To control specific lights and appliances directly from the IR
command console, press the button on the console that corresponds
to the number of the module you want to control (1/5, 2/6, 3/7, 4/8).
Then use the function keys on the IR command console to control the
device.
8. To brighten or dim lights connected to lamp and appliance modules,
press the digit key for the module you want to control. Then hold
down Brt or Dim on the remote control (or BRIGHT or DIM on the IR
command console). Release the key when the desired brightness
is reached.
Note: You must select the individual light to brighten or dim even
if you used All Lts On or ALL LIGHTS ON to turn on all the
lights at the same time.
