is automatically set to control the component whose key you just pressed to leave the Menu Mode. For example, if the remote is in DVD Menu Mode, press the DVD key to exit the Menu Mode. The remote is now out of Menu Mode and is set to control the DVD. To control another component, simply press the component key for the unit you wish to control (TV, VCR, satellite receiver or cable box). Troubleshooting Problem: The remote does not operate your component. • You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT·CBL) so the remote knows which component you want to operate. • Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component. Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component. • Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. (See Battery Installation on page 3.) Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be required. • Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold the number 1 key on the remote for several seconds to reset the microprocessor inside the remote. Release the number 1 key, reinstall the batteries, and press the ON·OFF key. If the LED indicator light turns on, reprogram the remote and try again. If it doesn't light up, replace the batteries with new ones. Problem: The remote can't be programmed to operate your component. • If you are testing the remote after you have entered the code, you may be too far away from the component or at a wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) technology to communicate with components. The remote sends the code, and the component's IR sensor reads the code. Therefore, there must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the component. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at the component (VCR player when programming the VCR key; DVD when programming the DVD key; TV when programming the TV key; cable box or satellite receiver when you're programming the SAT·CBL key). • If you've used the Direct Entry programming method to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning properly, try the Code Search method. (See Code Search on page 5.) • To control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you must program both the TV key and the VCR or DVD key. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV functions on your unit, and the VCR or DVD key controls the VCR or DVD functions. There is a specific section in the Code Lists for combo units. The codes in this section should be tried first using Direct Code Entry on the TV and VCR or DVD keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow the normal programming methods for both the TV and the VCR or DVD keys. • Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
