1. Tune channel select: These four

parameters usually do not need to

their products. They have various code sets for various models and

select, advance it to the next code and then test to see if that next
code works.

channel 1 respectively.

5. Test ON/OFF: When you click on the Test On/Off button, the AV400

will send a signal to the TV Cradle, which will then send a signal out to
