Using the Remote Control
The remote control operates the TV, your cable or satellite set-top-box, your DVD/VCR, and your
HP Media Center PC (HP PC). Refer to “Identifying the Remote Control buttons” on page 8 for
information on the remote control buttons.
NOTE: Use the remote control within a distance of 16.4 feet (5 meters) from the front of the TV remote
control sensor window and at the maximum horizontal and vertical angles of 30°.
To use the remote control:
1 Press the TV, CBL/SAT, DVD/VCR, or HP.PC button to select the home entertainment component
(TV, set-top-box, DVD/VCR, or HP MCPC) to control.
2 Aim the remote control at the remote control sensor of the selected home entertainment component,
and then press the button you want to use.
Programming the remote control for component control
Programming the component code
1 Turn on the TV. Turn on the cable or satellite set-top-box, VCR, or DVD and, if applicable, insert
media (a cassette or a disc).
NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. We recommend highlighting
or writing down the codes and device you wish to program before performing step 2.
2 On the remote control, press CBL/SAT button or DVD/VCR button once. Press and hold SETUP until
the red light blinks twice, then release SETUP.
3 Use the Manufacturer’s Codes (see listing that follows) to locate the type of component by brand
name and then enter the first four-digit code for your component. If performed correctly, the red
light blinks twice.
NOTE: If the red light did not blink twice, then repeat steps 2 and 3, entering the code again.
4 Aim the remote control at the component and press PWR once. The component should turn off. If it
does not respond, repeat steps 2 and 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that
works. If it still does not work, try searching for the code; see “Searching for the component code“
on page 34.
NOTE: If the device does not have a power button, press PLAY.
5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each component you want to control with the remote control.
