NOTE: When batteries need replacement, the iO key LED blinks 3 times upon each key-press. CONTROLLING THE CABLE SET-TOP BOX In order to control the cable set-top box with the Cablevision Scepter remote control, you need to insert the USB dongle that comes with the remote into an available USB port on the set-top box. Once the dongle is inserted and batteries are installed in the remote control, then the remote should automatically be ready to control the set-top box with any key-press. POINTING OPERATION The Cablevision Scepter remote control has a unique feature that enables movement of the remote control to guide an on-screen pointer for applications that support the pointing feature. To enable the pointer on the remote, press the POINTER key located on the top end of the remote control. When the remote is in POINTER mode, there is a green LED that blinks to light up the POINTER key about once per second. While this key is lit, you can move the on- screen pointer (for supported applications) to navigate and select on-screen content. Much like a PC mouse, the pointer allows content to be selected with a click of the SEL key or to be dragged from one location to another by holding the key down and releasing the key to drop an item being dragged to a new folder or location. PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE FOR TV CONTROL The Scepter universal remote control comes pre-programmed to operate the set-top box that is supplied by Cablevision. In addition, Scepter can be programmed to control basic functions of TV POWER, VOLUME+/-, and MUTE on a TV. 1. Turn on the TV that you wish to control 2. Press and hold SEL and MUTE simultaneously until the iO key blinks twice. 3. Using the list of “Setup Codes for Televisions” on the back of this sheet, find the brand name for the TV that you wish to control. Enter the first five- digit code for your brand of TV. If performed correctly, the iO key blinks twice. NOTE: If the iO key emits one long blink, the entry is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 3 and try entering the same code again. 4. Aim the remote control at the TV and press MUTE to see if the TV responds. If the TV responds to MUTE, try VOLUME +/- and TV POWER to ensure all functions work as expected. If the TV does not respond to these keys, repeat steps 2 through 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not respond, try “SEARCHING FOR A TV CODE”. Record your TV Code here: PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE FOR AUDIO DEVICE CONTROL If you use an audio device such as an Amplifier to control the volume in your home theater, you may program the Scepter remote control for control of the audio device using the follow step. NOTE: Setting up an audio device automatically makes that device the default for VOLUME +/- and MUTE functions on the Scepter remote control. 1. Turn on the Audio Device that you wish to control 2. Press and hold SEL and MUTE simultaneously until the iO key blinks twice. 3. Using the list of “AUDIO DEVICE CODES” on the back of this sheet, find the audio device type and brand name that you wish to control. Enter the first five-digit code for brand of audio device. If performed correctly, the iO key blinks twice. NOTE: If the iO key emits one long blink, the entry is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 3 and try entering the same code again. 4. Aim the remote control at the audio device and press MUTE to see if the audio device responds. If the device responds to MUTE, try VOLUME +/- to ensure all volume-related functions work as expected. If the device does note respond to these keys, repeat steps 2 through 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not respond, try “SEARCHING FOR AN AUDIO DEVICE CODE”. Record your audio Code here: SEARCHING FOR A TV CODE If the five-digit codes for your brand do not work for your TV, follow the instructions below to search through all possible TV Codes. 1. Turn on the TV that you wish to control. 2. Press and hold SEL and MUTE simultaneously until the iO key blinks twice. 3. Enter 9 9 1. The iO key blinks twice. 4. Press the 0 key once to set the remote for TV code search. 5. Aim the remote control at the TV and press VOL + once to begin the automated code search. 6. Keep the remote control pointed at your TV as the remote proceeds with testing TV codes. 7. As soon as you see your TV turn off, press the VOL + button again to stop the search process. 8. Press and hold SEL for 3 seconds until the iO key blinks twice to save the code that caused the TV to respond. Test the TV POWER and volume controls (if you use TV for volume) to make sure that the remote is programmed as expected. SEARCHING FOR AN AUDIO DEVICE CODE If the five-digit codes for your brand do not work for your TV, follow the instructions below to search through all possible TV Codes. 1. Turn on the Audio Device that you wish to control. 2. Press and hold SEL and MUTE simultaneously until the iO key blinks twice. 3. Enter 9 9 1. The iO key blinks twice. 4. Press the 2 key once to set the remote for AUDIO DEVICE code search. 5. Aim the remote control at the audio device and press VOL + once to begin the automated code search. 6. Keep the remote control pointed at your audio device as the remote proceeds with testing audio device codes. 7. As soon as you see your audio device turn off, press the VOL + button again to stop the search process. 8. Press and hold SEL for 3 seconds until the iO key blinks twice to save the code that caused the audio device to respond. Test the volume controls with your audio device to make sure that the remote is programmed as expected. TO FIND THE DEVICE CODES SET IN CODE SEARCH If you used SEARCHING FOR A CODE for either a TV or audio device, you can find out which code was saved to control your device by using the following steps: 1. For example, to find out which code is operating your TV: 2. Press and hold SEL and MUTE simultaneously until the iO key blinks twice. 3. Enter 9 9 0 0 to find the TV code or enter 9 9 0 2 to find the audio device code. The iO key blinks twice. 4. To view the code for the first digit, press 1 once. Count the number of times the iO key blinks (e.g., 3 blinks = 3) and write down the number in the left-most box for that device type on this page. NOTE: If a code digit is 0, the selected mode key will not blink. 5. Repeat step 4 three more times for the remaining digits. Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, 4 for the fourth digit, and 5 for the fifth digit. Finish writing down the code in the device code boxes on this page. USING THE CABLE STB FOR VOLUME CONTROL If you want to use the cable set-top box to control the volume in your home theater, you may program the Scepter remote control to do so using the follow steps: 1. Press and hold SEL and VOL- keys simultaneously until the iO key blinks twice. 2. The volume functions are now controlled by the cable STB. To change volume control back to the TV or Audio Device: 1. Press and hold SEL and VOL+ keys simultaneously until the iO key blinks twice. 2. The volume functions are now controlled by the TV (or Audio Device if one is programmed in the remote control). INSTALLING BATTERIES 1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of your remote control. 2. Locate the two (2) enclosed AA batteries. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: iO key does not blink when you press a key. SOLUTION: Replace the batteries with two (2) new AA Alkaline batteries (See “INSTALLING BATTERIES”). PROBLEM: iO key blinks when you press a key, but home entertainment device does not respond. SOLUTION: Make sure you are aiming the remote control at your home entertainment device and that you are within 15 feet of the device you are trying to control. PROBLEM: The remote control does not control home entertainment devices or commands are not performing properly. SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the device type and brand. Make sure all devices can be operated with an infrared remote control. PROBLEM: The remote does not control the cable set-top box SOLUTION: Make sure that the USB dongle that came with the remote is fully inserted into an open USB port on the cable set-top box. If this does not work, check iO key for blinking upon key-press. If the key does not blink, change the batteries. Scepter 11x17 Manual2ab.fm Page 1 Wednesday, October 14, 2009 2:54 PM
