What Devices Can I Control?
The mode keys arched across the top of the remote tell the remote which device you
want to operate.
Each mode key is associated with different groups
of devices. You can use each mode key to control
one of its associated devices:
Mode Key
Associated Devices
CBL .......... cable boxes, HDTV tuners, and satellite
devices
TV ............. TVs and HDTVs
VCR ......... VCRs, digital video recorders (DVRs), DVD players, and CD players
DVD .......... DVD players, CD players, VCRs, and DVRs
AUX .......... receivers, tuners, and Home Theatre in a Box (HTIB)
Regarding Non-Responsive Modes
The AT8550 is pre-programmed with the TV, VCR, and AUX keys set to an inactive
(non-responsive) mode. After you program these keys on the remote control, you can
return them to the non-responsive mode by using the specific non-responsive mode
code found in the Code Tables, later in this guide.
What Devices Do I Want to Control?
To help you keep track of the devices you want to control, list the type of devices
(including brand) in the following table. Locate your device type in the list above and
write the associated mode key. If you have two devices that use the same key, you must
reassign the AUX, the VCR, or the DVD keys. Go to Reassign Mode Keys. Otherwise,
go to Program the Remote to Control My Devices.
Reassign Mode Keys
With the AT8550, you can reassign a mode key to operate a different device. For example,
you can reassign the AUX key to operate a receiver, a tuner, or a Home Theatre in a Box
system.
You can reassign the AUX key, the VCR key, or the DVD key. However, the TV key and
the CBL key cannot be reassigned. If you reassign a key, be sure you update the table
found in the previous section.
