"channel surf" key. Each time you press SCAN, the 7-in-One
repeatedly performs cycles through the channels, stopping on each
for about 3 seconds.
Clearing Favorite Channel Scan
To change your favorite channel list, you must first clear the existing
list. Repeat Steps 1-6 above, then press ESCAPE. Your favorite channel
list is cleared.
Using The Sleep Function
The 7-in-One has a SLEEP key that either operates your component's sleep
timer, or your component does not have a sleep timer, it activates the 7
in-One's built-in sleep timer.
To activate your device's sleep timer, press SLEEP (SHIFT + MUTE).
Most sleep timers advance in increments of 10 or 15 minutes. For specific
instructions on setting your device's sleep timer, refer to the device's
owner's manual.
If your device does not have a sleep timer, the 7-in-One will access its
own built-in sleep timer.

7. Press SELECT then the key for the device that you want to control the
sound volume (AMP, TUNER, TV, CD, CBL, VCR, or SAT) then press SELECT.
For example, to control the volume through your receiver, press TUNER
then SELECT. When you press the volume keys on your 7-in-One, your
receiver controls the volume.
8. Press ESCAPE to exit.
Note: You might need to use the MENU or VOL keys to control volume,
depending on which device you selected during these steps.
Resetting Punch-Through
To restore volume control to each individual device:
1. Hold down P until TIMED SEQ appears.
2. Press \/ twice. CONFIGURE appears.
3. Press SELECT. THEATR SEL appears.
4. Press \/ twice. VOL LOCK appears.

7. Press SELECT. Each device now controls its own volume when you use
the volume keys on your 7-in-One.
Using the Macro Keys
The 7-in-One has two dedicated macro keys, AUDIO and VIDEO. Each lets you
play back a series of up to 15 keystrokes at any time with a single
keypress, in any mode. You can also program almost any other key on the
7-in-One as a macro key.
Note: When you program a key as a macro key, its original function no
longer operates. Do not program device keys, digit keys, P, or
(light bulb symbol) as macro keys.
You can set up a maximum of 36 macros, 15 timed sequences (see "Setting Up
Timed Sequences" below), or a combination of both. For example, follow
these steps to set up a macro on VIDEO that turns on your TV, VCR, and
satellite system so you can record a program.

channel 4, and changes the input to VIDEO 1, then the satellite turns
on.
Note: When setting up a macro, you must include all keystrokes that
you would enter during regular usage, such as pressing ENTER
after a channel number when changing channels (if your TV
requires it).
Setting Up Timed Sequences
The 7-in-One lets you set up a sequence of keystrokes that can be played
back at a time you specify, up to seven days in advance. You can set up a
maximum of 15 timed sequences, 36 macros (see "Using the Macro Keys"
above), or a combination of both.
For example, follow these steps to set your VCR to record a program from
your satellite system.
Note: If you make a mistake, press ESCAPE and start over at Step 1.
1. Hold down P until TIMED SEQ appears.
2. Repeatedly press SELECT until START and the time appear, with the
first digit blinking. Enter time in 12-hour format. AM/PM flashes.

Using The IR/RF Command Center
The 7-in-One comes with an IR/RF Command Center which receives radio
frequency signals from the 7-in-One and converts them into infrared (IR)
signals to control your components.
Note: The 7-in-One's actual range depends on the construction of the
building where it is used, as well as other factors, such as radio
frequency interface. For the best operation:
Aim the 7-in-One toward the room where the Command center is
located.
Do not position the Command Center near metal objects (such as
heating ducts) that can absorb RF signals.
Keep fresh batteries in the 7-in-One. Weak batteries reduce the
7-in One's range.
After you have set up the 7-in-One to control your devices (see "Quick
Setup" or "Setting Up the 7-in-One" in Faxback Doc. # 58326), follow these
steps to set up the Command Center:
1. Choose a location about 8 feet in front of the components you want to
control. The location should be near an easily accessible standard AC
outlet, with line-of-sight access to your components.
2. Plug the Command Center's power cord into the AC outlet and raise its
telescoping antenna.
3. Position the Command Center so its black IR lens is facing your
components.
4. Be sure the remote is not pointing toward your equipment, then test
the Command Center by pressing POWER. You should be able to control
components from any room.
Using the IR Signal Extension Cord
You can use the supplied IR signal extension cord to control a device that
is within 4 feet of the Command Center but out of its direct line of sight
1. Plug the IR signal extension cord into the jack on the back of the
Command Center.
2. Route the IR extender signal extension cord to the device.
3. Use the supplied double-sided tape to attach the IR signal extension
cord to the device, with its LED on or next to the device's IR sensor.
4. Be sure the remote is not pointing toward your equipment, then test
the Command Center by pressing POWER. The Command Center converts the
7-in-one's RF signal into an IR signal, and transmits that signal to
the device through the cord.
FCC CAUTION: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
