Each menu varies from brand to brand. The TV Menu is used to make changes in the TV settings, such as chang- ing color, channels and timers.The SAT·CAB·DTC Menu navigates through your satellite receiver, DTV converter, or cable box guide screens, to make changes in the satellite settings, such as channel lists and passwords.The DVD Menu is used to make changes through the naviga- tion screens, such as languages and subtitles. While in Menu Mode, VOL +/– and CHAN +/– keys function as naviga- tion keys: Using Menu Functions To use the Menu function, follow these steps: 1.

Move closer and make sure you point the remote at the component (VCR when programming the VCR·DVD key; TV when pro- gramming the TV key; cable box or satellite receiver when you’re programming the SAT·CBL·DTC key). • If you’ve entered all of the codes for your brand that are in the accompanying Code List and fol- lowed the instructions, try the Code Search method. • You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR·DVD, AUX or SAT·CBL·DTC) so the remote knows which component you want to operate. • To program the 4-component universal remote to operate a combination unit (TV/VCR or TV/DVD), first try the VCR or DVD codes for your brand. Some units require that you program both the TV key (using the TV codes) and the VCR·DVD key (using the VCR or DVD codes) for full operation. • To program the 4-component universal remote to operate a VCR/DVD combination unit, program the VCR key using the VCR codes and then program the AUX key using the DVD codes. PROBLEM: THE INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT WHEN YOU PRESS A KEY. • You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR·DVD, AUX or SAT·CBL·DTC) so the remote knows which component you want to operate. • You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in (for example, RECORD only works in VCR Mode). • Make sure the batteries are properly installed. • Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries. 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, AUX or SAT·CBL·DTC) 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 properly installed (See Battery Installation). • Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries. PROBLEM: THE REMOTE IS NOT PERFORMING COMMANDS PROPERLY. • You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key so the remote knows which component you want to oper- ate. • Make sure component is “ready” (e.g., DVD player has disc loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.). • You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in (e.g., RECORD only works in VCR mode). • If operating a VCR to record, you must press the RECORD key two times. • If you’re trying to change channels, try pressing the OK key after entering the channel number as this is a requirement of certain models and brands. • There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be able to control some of your component features (e.g., only turns a component on and off). Follow the steps provided for programming the re- mote (See Programming Section). If the compo- nent can be turned on and off, make sure you press the CHAN +/– key to see if the component responds. If not, try the next code from the list. PROBLEM: THE VCR WON’T RECORD. • As a safety feature, you must press the RECORD key twice to begin recording. • Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR. • Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the safety tab is removed the tape is write-protected and you cannot record onto that tape. PROBLEM: THE REMOTE WILL NOT CHANGE CHANNELS. • You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR·DVD, AUX or SAT·CBL·DTC) so the remote knows which component you want to operate. • Press the OK key after you enter a channel number. PROBLEM: THE COMPONENT’S MENU DOESN’T APPEAR ON THE TV SCREEN. • Make sure your component(s) are turned on and your TV is tuned to the appropriate video source and use the input key to toggle through video sources connected to your TV. • Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. If that’s the case, you’ll need to use your original remote control to access menu functions for these compo- nents. CRCU4601WM_CA_IB_01 2:Layout 1 5/25/10 3:53 PM Page 1
