setting up.

step 2: Checking if the Code Number Works

1 Power on the component you want to set up.

2 Aim the Remote Commander at^he component and press a button

to check if that button works.
For example, press the POWER button to see if it works on your
component.

3 Check that the other buttons of the Commander is operating the

corresponding functions of the component.

If the Commander Doesn't Seem to Be Working...

• First, try repeating these setup procedures using the other codes

listed for your component (see the supplied "Component Code
Numbers").

• If - after trying all the codes listed for your component - you still

cannot get the Commander to work properly, try the search
method described in "Searching for the Correct Code."

Tip

Use the label (supplied) to write down the code numbers of your

components. Then affix the label to the back of the Commander.

Searching for the Correct Code

If you've tried all the code numbers listed for your component and
you still cannot get the Commander to work (or if your component is
not listed in the "Component Code Numbers" table), try these steps.

1 Power on the component you want to set up. Insert a tape or disc

if necessary.

2 Set the slide switch on the commander

to the position that corresponds to the
component.

3 Press the SET button with a ball-point

pen tip etc., and release it.

4 Press and release the CH+ button. Then

press and release the POWER button.

5 Repeat step 4 until the correct code number is found.

Each time you press the CH+ button and then the POWER button,
a new code number will be transmitted.
Keep trying until your component operates by receiving the
transmitted signal from the Commander (e.g., the power turns off,
the CH+ function works, playback starts, etc.). Be patient as you
do this; it may take 50 or 60 tries until the correct code number is
located.

6

When the correct code is found, press

and release the ENTER button to store
the code number in the Commander's
memory.

7 Check that the Commander is operating the other functions of

your component by pressing the corresponding buttons on the
Commander. If they seem to be working properly, you're done
setting up the Commander.

If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 1 to 6 and
search for another code. As the searching always starts from 01, it
will stop again at the same code as the last searching. Pass the code
and continue searching until the next code by which the component
operates.

If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
"Troubleshooting."

Controlling the Volume of Video
Components Connected to an Audio
System

The Commander is factory preset based on the assumption that you
hear the sound of your video components from your TV's speakers,
and that you hear the sound of your audio components from the
loudspeakers connected to your receiver (or amplifier).

Factory Setting:

Position of the slide switch

Controls the volume of

TV

TV

VCR

TV

CBL*

TV

AVI

Receiver (or amplifier)

AV2/DBS*

TV

* If you assign an audio component on the

CBL or AV2/DBS position, you can

control the volume of the receiver (or amplifier) on the

AVI position. If you

assign video components on these positions, you can control the volume of
the TV.

Thus you can control the volume of your TV or receiver (or
amplifier) while operating a video or audio component without first
having to change the slide switch to TV or AVI position. For
example, to control the volume for your VCR channels, you don't
need to change the slide switch to the TV position.

However, if your video components are connected to an audio
system, you probably hear your TV's or VCR's sound from the
loudspeakers connected to your receiver (or amplifier), not from
your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory setting
so that you can control the volume of your video components
without first having to switch to the receiver (or amplifier).
To change the factory setting for the volume control, follow the
procedures below.

Note

This feature is effective only when a receiver or amplifier is set up or
the AVI position. You cannot control the volume of a receiver (or
amplifier) set up on CBL or AV2/DBS position while operating a
component of another position.
