Operation of Remote Control (Continued) L HOW TO IDENTIFY A CABLE CONVERTER L To Identify Your Cable Converter -Direct Entry Method. Use the following steps and list to quickly find the remote control code for your cable TV converter. • First look up your converter's remote code number before going through the direct code entry steps below. • If this procedure does not identify your conver ter, use the Search method for identification. (1) Press CATV/DVD button. (2) Press and hold down DISPLAY and CH s on your remote control. Then release both buttons. (3) Within ten seconds after releasing DISPLAY and CH s, enter your converter's twodigit code number using REMOTE KEYPAD (refer to list). • The remote control is now ready to send commands to your converter. • Some brands have more than one remote code listed due to changes in the remote codes from early to later model years. In such cases, you may have to try more than one code to find the code your converter accepts. Note: Depending on the model, year produced, brand, and type of CATV converter, some models may not be compatible with the remote control. L To Identify Your Cable Converter - Search Method. (1) Press CATV/DVD button. (2) Press the POWER button on the cable converter to ON. (3) Stand at least six feet away from the converter. Point the remote towards the converter.

Channel numbers will scan up when the converter has been identified. Release the DISPLAY and CH a as soon as the channel numbers start to scan up. The converter's remote control code number has been identified, and the remote is ready to operate the converter.

Remember, it is only a one-time setup. Be careful not to let the CATV converter scan more than five channels when the indicator starts to move up. If you continue holding down the DISPLAY and CH a after five channel scans, the proper remote code can be passed up, and the two minute identify cycle will have to be repeated. If a channel change does not occur on the cable converter within two minutes, read the identifying instructions again and repeat the steps. Should a channel change still not occur, the remote will not operate with the desired converter. Note: Some satellite receivers can be operated by the REMOTE CONTROL. If you have a Satellite Receiver, you can use the above method to search for available channels. 44
