Remote Control
If you have a TV with a remote
control, we recommend that you
plug its power cord directly into
a wall outlet if available (your
cable installer may select an
alternate setup).
Make sure to set your TV to
channel 2, 3, or 4 as directed by
your cable company.

TM
Make sure your TV is on. Press the [MENU] button, then
the [TV POWER] button.
Enter the three-digit code for your television from the
“television codes” chart on the back of this sheet.
At this point you have two options depending on whether
you want volume to be controlled through your cable box
or through your TV:
option 1: If you want volume to be controlled through
your cable box, press [POWER].
option 2: If you want volume to be controlled through
your TV, press [TV POWER].
Press the [TV POWER] button. If your TV turns on and
off, you’re all done. If your TV doesn’t turn on and off,
perform steps 1 through 3 again with the next available
code for your TV brand. If none of the codes listed for
your TV work, try the “check all codes” method below.

the “check all codes” method
Follow the steps outlined in this section if you’ve been unable to determine the
correct code for your TV. This method “hunts” through all possible codes in the
remote until it finds the code for your remote-controlled TV.
1. Manually turn ON your TV set.
2. Point the remote control at the TV and press the following sequence of
keys: [MENU], [TV POWER], [0], [0], [0], and [TV POWER]. If the TV turns
OFF, congratulations – you’re all done. If the TV is still ON, continue at
step 3 below.
3. Press [MENU], [TV POWER], [FAV], and [TV POWER] to check the next
code. If the TV turns OFF, press [SELECT] to exit this procedure. If the TV is
still ON, continue at step 4 below.
4. Repeat pressing [FAV], followed by [TV POWER], until the TV turns OFF.
When the TV turns OFF, press [SELECT] to save the code.
Please be patient: there are about 90 possible codes.

Problem
My remote only works one of my devices (TV or cable box).
Solution
Weak batteries may cause the remote to only operate one device. If this happens,
simply replace them with new alkaline batteries and reprogram the remote.
Problem
I programmed the remote, but it won’t work my TV.
Solution
You may have entered the wrong code (or the correct code might not be listed).
Try entering all of your TV manufacturer’s codes again, starting with the
manufacturer’s popular code, if one is available.
If you are still unable to operate your TV, follow the instructions in the section
titled the “check all codes” method.
Problem
My remote control doesn’t operate my combination TV/VCR.
Solution
Most combination TV/VCRs have VCR tuners in them. This unit was not designed
to operate a VCR. Your cable operator may have a solution for your situation.
Problem
My remote control stopped working.
Solution
Check the batteries and make sure the TV set and cable box are plugged into a
live AC outlet. If you are sure the batteries are good, try rolling them with your
finger to ensure a good connection. If the batteries were loose, removed to test,
or replaced, you may need to reprogram your remote.*
* If your remote has Memory Lock™, you won’t need to reprogram the remote
control unless you want it to operate a different television.
Problem
I can’t figure out the remote’s buttons.
Solution
It may be necessary to review your cable box operating manual to familiarize
yourself with the different buttons and features.
