Using the Remote to Control Additional
Components
You can set up your remote to control a TV of another
brand. You simply need to enter the code into the remote
control. (not necessary for recent RCA & Proscan models).
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and corresponding code number in
the code list.
3. Press and hold the TV button on the remote while enter-
ing the code from the code list using the Number Buttons.
4. Release the component button, then press the ON•OFF
button to see if the component turns off.
5. If this does not work, repeat steps 3 and 4 by trying to
use the next code (if available) listed for the brand of your
component until the component responds to the remote
command.
Volume punchthrough
By default, the VOL+/VOL- and MUTE buttons will only control
the DVD receiver, regardless which mode (TV, VCR, etc) the
receiver is in.
By programming the volume punchthrough function, you can
also control the volume of the TV.
NOTE: Controlling the TV volume can only be done in TV,
VCR and SAT.CABLE mode, not in DVD/CD and TUNER
mode.
To activate the volume punchthrough function, follow the pro-
cedures below:
1. Press and hold the VOL- button.
2. While pressing it, press the device button (TV, VCR or
SAT.CABLE) that you are programming the volume
punchthrough. The red led will turn off.
4. While you are still pressing the VOL- button, press the
device button that you want the volume command to punch
through from, the red led will turn on until the VOL- button is
released.
5. Removing the batteries will reset the remote such that once
again the receiver VOL+/-/MUTE codes are sent in TV mode.
Note: If an invalid key is pressed, the remote led blinks four
times, then you will have to start over again.
NOTE
Once your remote is encoded, you can press
ON/OFF on the remote once to turn off the com-
ponent and then followed by the second time
quickly to turn off the receiver (i.e. this unit). If you
only want the receiver to be turned off, select
TUNER or DVD/CD while the unit is ON before
pressing ON/OFF.
HINT
This remote may not operate all models of the
brands shown.
If batteries are removed from the battery compart-
ment of the remote control, all memory may be
lost. If this is the case, you will need to re-enter all
previously programmed codes again.
The remote buttons may not work exactly like the
original remote buttons for components of other
brands. Experiment with the remote and your com-
ponents to see which buttons work. If only a few
functions work, you may try another code to check
if more buttons work.
