6-in-1 Remote Control (15-1923) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 46315 Note: In the event you have difficulty setting up your 6-in-1 Remote Control or encounter problems which you are not able to resolve, HELP is available by calling 1-800-989-4706. Installing Batteries You need your AAA batteries to power your remote control. We recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-558. CAUTIONS: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. Do not press any of the 6-in-1's keys when installing batteries. 1. Press the battery compartment cover's tab and lift off the cover. 2. Install four AAA alkaline batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the compartment. 3. Replace the cover. Notes: Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you have installed the batteries. This can press keys for an extended period of time and reduce battery life. When the 6-in-1 Remote Control's range decreases or it stops operating properly, replace the batteries. Although the 6-in-1 has a built-in memory backup, we recommend you have fresh batteries ready to install as soon as you remove the old ones. Lighting The Keys Press (symbol) to light the keys on the remote for about 5 seconds. If you press a key when the keys are lit, the keys stay lit for about 5 more seconds. To turn off the light before it automatically turns off, press (symbol) again. Device Types You can use the 6-in-1 Remote Controls' device keys to control the following general types of devices: TV - TVs CBL - Cable converters, satellite receivers and video accessories. VCR - VCR's, TV/VCR combinations, laser disc players, cassette decks and digital audio tape decks AUX 1/AUX 2 - CD players, TVs, laser disc players, cassette decks, digital audio tape decks, cable converters, satellite receivers, Plug 'n Power devices, video accessories, amplifiers, tuners, receivers, and miscellaneous audio products. Plug 'n Power - Plug 'n Power or X-10 home automation devices. SAT - standard and direct-to- home satellite receivers. Note: You can also program AUX 1 or AUX 2 or an unused device key to control additional devices (see "Using Two or More Similar Devices:" below). Setting Up Your 6-in-1 1. Refer to "Manufacturers' Codes" on Faxback Doc. # 46318 and write down the codes for your original remote controls. Notes: Some manufacturers have several possible codes listed. Try each until you find the correct code. See "If You Have Problems" on Faxback Doc. # 46316 if you cannot find the correct code. If you want to set up your 6-in-1 to control a combination TV/VCR (such as Cat. No. 16-421 or 16-422), you must program the TV code for the TV functions and the VCR code for the VCR functions. 2. Hold down [SET UP] until the red light above (symbol) turns on. Note: To exit the set up routine at any time, press [SET UP] again. The red light flashes several times. 3. Press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing VCR, CBL, TV, Plug 'n Power, or SAT. Note: If you do not press a device key within about 15 seconds, the red light flashes for about 3 seconds then turns off. Start again from Step 2. 4. Enter the 3-digit code. For example, to replace a TV's remote control (manufacturer's code 185), press: [SETUP]-[TV]-[1]-[8]-[5]. When the red light turns off, the 6-in-1 has accepted the code. Note: If the code you entered is invalid, the red light flashes for about 3 seconds then turns off. 5. Point the 6-in-1 Remote Control at your device and press [POWER] (All Lts On) (or [CHANNEL +] (On) for some cable boxes). Your device should turn off (or on, if it was off). If the remote does not operate your device, try the other codes listed in "Manufacturers Codes" on Faxback Doc. # 46318 for your brand or TV, VCR, cable converter or other device. 6. Repeat Steps 2-5 for additional devices. Using Two or More Similar Devices If you have two or more similar devices (two VCRs for example) and you have already programmed the 6-in-1 to control one of the devices using that device key, you can program the AUX 1 and AUX 2 device keys or an unused device key to control the additional device. Follow these steps to program AUX 1 or AUX 2. 1. Repeat Step 1 and 2 under "Setting Up Your 6-in-1" above. 2. Press [AUX 1] or [AUX 2]. 3. If you are replacing a CD's remote control, skip to Step 4. Otherwise, press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing (VCR, CBL, TV, Plug 'n Power, or SAT). Note: If you do not press a device key within about 15 seconds, the red light flashes for about 3 seconds, then turns off. Start again from Step 1. 4. Repeat Steps 4-6 under "Setting Up Your 6-in-1" above. To program an unused device key to control an additional device, choose an unused device key that controls a similar type of device (see "Device Types" above), then program it using the steps in "Setting Up Your 6-in-1" above.
