6-in-1 Remote Control
(15-1923) Operation Faxback Doc. # 46316
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.
1. Press the device key for the device you want to control then point the
6-in-1 at the device and press [POWER] (All Lts On) (or [CHANNEL +]
[ON] for some cable converters) to turn the device on.
2. Repeat Step 1 for all other devices you want to operate.
3. Point the 6-in-1 toward the device you want to control then press the
appropriate device key and the desired command keys.
Note: The command keys on the 6-in-1 work the same as the keys on the
original remote control; however, the labeling might differ
slightly.
4. To turn off the last device you selected, press [POWER] (All Lts On).
To turn off other devices, press the device key for the device you
want to turn off, then press [POWER] (All Lts On).
Punch-Through
The punch-through feature lets you alternately control two different
devices without pressing the device keys for each one. Here's how it
works.
Not all of the 6-in-1 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], you can still use the volume
control to control the TV.
Punch-through does not work when you are using the 6-in-1 to control CD
players and Plug 'n Power devices.
Notes: The punch-through feature might not work if the last two devices
you selected have the same (or similar) features. For example, most
TV's and some cable converters have channel select keys on their
remote controls. In this case, you must press the desired device
key before you use the 6-in-1's [CHANNEL +] (On) or [CHANNEL -]
(Off) keys.
If you selected [AUX 1] or [AUX 2], you can punch-through TV, VCR,
or CBL. If you have not programmed AUX 1 or AUX 2 as a TV, VCR, or
CBL device.
Using The 6-in-1'S Timer
This feature lets you set your 6-in-1 to turn off the TV after 60 minutes.
1. Press [TIMER] on the 6-in-1.
2. Within 15 seconds, press [ENT] on the 6-in-1. The red light blinks
once.
Note: If you do not press [ENT] within 15 seconds, the red light does
not blink. Start again from Step 1.
3. Leave the 6-in-1 pointing at the TV's infrared sensor. Make sure there
is nothing blocking the line of sight between the 6-in-1 and the TV.
To cancel the timer, hold down [TIMER] until the red light blinks once, or
press [TV] then press [POWER] (All Lts On).
Plug 'N Power Functions
The Plug 'n Power feature allows you to control lights and appliances with
an optional IR command console (RadioShack Unlimited No. 10037703) or Plug
'n Power Wireless Remote Control System (Cat. No. 61-2676). You also need
Plug 'n Power light modules and appliance modules (available through your
local RadioShack store) to use this feature.

If You Have Problems
Manual Code Search
If the 6-in-1 Remote Control does not operate your remote-controlled
devices when you first set it up, you might have to find the correct code
for your devices. You can try all the codes listed in "Manufacturer's
Codes" on Faxback Doc. # 46318, for the brand of your device, or you can
follow these steps to search the 6-in-1's entire library.
1. Manually turn on the device you want to set up.
2. Hold down [SET UP] on the 6-in-1 until the red light above (symbol)
turns on.
3. Press the corresponding device key on your 6-in-1 Remote Control (TV,
VCR, CBL, and so on). Or, to search all the codes available to AUX 1
or AUX 2 to control a device, press [AUX 1] or [AUX 2] then the
corresponding device key. The red light blinks once.
4. Aim the 6-in-1 Remote Control at the device you want to operate.
5. Repeatedly press [ON] ([CHANNEL +] (On), [> PLAY], or [POWER] (All Lts
On) until the device responds to the command.
6. When the device responds to the command, press [ENT] within 5 seconds
to save the code.
Notes: If you accidentally overshoot the correct code, repeatedly
press [LAST] then [ON] ([CHANNEL +] (On), [> PLAY], or [POWER]
(All Lts On) on the 6-in-1 to move back through the codes until
the device responds to the command.
If you do not press [ENT] within 5 seconds, the 6-in-1 does not
save the code.
Because the 6-in-1 Remote Control's library has so many codes,
this procedure can take several minutes.
If your device turns off during the search, but does not
operate after you lock in the code, begin the search again,
pausing longer between key presses.
If necessary, repeat these steps for each device.
Determining the 3-Digit Code
After you set up your 6-in-1 Remote Control using manual code search, you
can find which 3-digit code the 6-in-1 Remote Control is set to by
following these steps.
1. Hold down [SET UP] until the red light above (symbol) turns on.
2. Press the device key you want to get the manufacturer's code from.
The red light blinks once then stays on.
3. Press [SET UP]. The red light blinks once then stays on.
4. Press [0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9] waiting a few seconds after you press each
number before you press the next one.
If the red light blinks after you press a number, that number is the
first number of your 3-digit manufacturer's code.
5. Repeat Step 4 twice to find the second and third numbers of your
3-digit manufacturer's code. After the red light blinks for the third
digit in the code, it turns off.
