Setting the IR Emitter Code:
from the Home Screen, press to access the Setup Screen, then highlight TV
Control and press OK.
Part 1: Choose your Device and brand
Select the type of device that you want to control with the IR Emitter.
Select the brand of your device.
Highlight the Tune IR Emitter button, press OK.
The TV Channels button allows you to give names to each channel. for example,
if channel 6 is CNN where you live, then you can give channel 6 that name in this
screen. or, if you use the My Yahoo! ® personal calendar to set your recording sched-
uler, the ARCHoS ™ device will allow you to assign a channel number to a station
name given from your scheduled TV programs.
Part 2: finding the Right Emitter Codes
This screen allows you to correctly set the codes and parameters to allow the
Infrared emitter to correctly control your tuner (VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver).
Tune device code (one code available): Some manufacturers use only one code
for all of their products. The code does not change from one model to another or
from one year to another. In this case, there will only be one single code avail-
able. You can now test the channel select.
Tune device code (multiple codes available): Some makers of video equipment
don’t use the same set of control codes for all of their products. They have vari-
ous code sets for various models and various years. You will have to try each of
the codes to find out which code works with your device. In the example screen,
you see the code V009. If this code does not work when doing the Test: channel
select, advance it to the next code and then test to see if that next code works.
Test channel select: When you press the Test channel select button (highlight
test channel select and press OK), the ARCHoS ™ device will send a signal
through the DVR Station’s infrared emitter and change the channel on your
tuner (VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver). If the Number of digits parameter is
set to three, it will try to select channel 123. If that parameter is set to 2, it will
send the code for channel 12. If your tuner does not change channels when you
click on this test button, try the next code for your device (step 2 above).
