Want An Example?

If you want to control power for the TV and the cable box at the same time, you would
do the following:

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 8. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press TV. The CBL key blinks twice.

4. Press CBL. The CBL key blinks twice.

5. Press SELECT. All mode keys blink three times.

In this example, the remote will function in the following ways:

• When you are in TV mode or CBL mode, the POWER key controls both the cable

box and the TV.

• When you are in VCR mode, the POWER key controls the VCR device only.

• When you are in AUX mode, the POWER key controls the auxiliary device only.

Controlling Power for One Device at a Time
(Program Code 9 9 8)

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 8. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press SELECT to save your power settings. All mode keys blink three times.

After you select a mode, the POWER key controls the device assigned to that mode.
For example, in TV mode, the remote controls power for the TV only.

Important Power Tips

• At a minimum, Scientific-Atlanta strongly recommends that you program the remote

to turn off the cable box each time you turn off your TV.

• When you “turn off” the cable box using the remote control, you are actually putting

the box in a power saving mode. As long as the cable box remains plugged in, it will
continue to receive programming updates and, if applicable, record programs and
movies.

• If your POWER key controls multiple devices at once, the remote returns to the CBL

mode after the devices are powered on or off.

• If your POWER key controls multiple devices at once, you can override this setting

by pressing the desired mode key and then pressing POWER within 3 seconds. For
example, if you press the VCR key and then the POWER key within 3 seconds, the
remote turns just the VCR on or off, regardless of the programmed power settings.
