Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Commander:
• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the procedures
described in "Setting the Code." If the code that's listed first for your
component doesn't work, try all the codes for your component - in the order
in which they're listed. If all the codes fail to work (or if your component is
not listed in this manual), try using the procedures in "Searching for the
Correct Code."
• Check that you're aiming the Conunander directly at die component, and that
there are no obstructions between the Commander and the component.
• Make sure the batteries you're using are not worn out, and that they're
inserted correctly.
• Check that the button of the TV, VCR, CABLE, AVI or AV2 is pressed to
choose your desired component.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if
your component didn't come with a remote commander, it probably isn't
capable of being controlled by a remote commander.
• If your video components are connected to an audio system, make sure
you've set up the Commander as described in "Controlling the Volume of
Video Components Connected to an Audio System."
• Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory setting by
pressing die POWER, TV/VIDEOand VOL-buttons simultaneously.
