• Check that the batteries are fitted

properly (observe polarity). Replace
with fresh alkaline AAA type.

If you cannot control your MP3, DVD,
CD player or TV tuner, on your PC (but

ton before you pressed the MP3,
DVD/CD or TV button. Then press

installed in your PC. The remote is
compatible with RealJukeBox,

download the Boom software for
use with the remote.

of the remote can control a regular
DVD player. Press PC then the # 2
button to control a DVD player in
your PC.

Boom software for the type of MP3
player you are using, see page 6.

program it back to PC operation.
See IMPORTANT note on page12.

connected to your PC’s USB port
and that the red LED power indica-
tor on the receiver is on.

your PC and monitor as its cable
allows.

equipment.
• Use manual controls or the original

remote control to confirm the equip-
ment is working properly.

for the device you want to control.

• Reenter the code for your A/V prod-

uct from the code listings.
