Programming the
remote control

You can operate your TV, VCR, and Audio/Video receiver using your HRMC-8
or HMRC-9 remote control. Use the Code Scanning or Code Entry method to
program the remote control. Code scanning may be more time-consuming, but
you don’t need to know manufacturer’s control codes. Using the Code entry
method may be quicker, but you’ll need to know the correct manufacturer’s
control codes for each component you want to operate.

1. Aim your remote control at the component you want to use.

2. Hold down the desired device button (

, for example).

3. Press the

MUTE

button for one second.

4. Release both buttons together.

5. The device button (in this example, the

button) glows and remains lit.

If the button does not light, repeat the previous steps.

6. Use one of the two programming methods described above.

Code scanning

To use this method:

1. Repeatedly tap the top part of the

CHANNEL (CH)

button.

2. Continue to step through the codes until the component turns off, indicating

you have found the correct component code. If you accidentally pass a code
that responds or realize you may not have been aiming the remote control at
the component, tap the lower part of the

CHANNEL (CH)

button to step

backward through the codes.

3. Press the remote control

POWER

button to verify the proper code by

turning the device on and off.

4. Press the device button (in this example,

) again to lock in the code.
