Control Other Devices with the Remote

Remote Control Modes

You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver or
other devices. This section explains how to set up the remote to control a
device, such as a satellite TV receiver, a TV, a VCR, a DVD player,

a tuner, or an amplifier.

To set the remote to the right mode for a device, use the remote control’s
mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV, VCR (for a VCR or a DVD
player), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a DVD player, or an audio amplifier). To
change the mode, press the button for the device you want the remote to
control. The mode button flashes once to show you’ve set the remote to that
mode.

Limited Mode

You can program your remote control in Limited Mode to keep from
accidentally changing the channel on your TV or VCR. When you use the
remote to control your TV in Limited Mode, you will only be able to use the
POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME buttons. Also, when you use the remote to
control your VCR in Limited Mode, you will only be able to use the
POWER and VCR tape control buttons.

The section Set Up the Remote Control has a step that tells the remote
control to go into Limited Mode.

Note: Limited Mode is not used with cable boxes or amplifiers.

Combination Devices

If you are programming the remote to control a combination device, such as
a TV/VCR or a TV/DVD, program the remote control in one mode, and
then repeat the procedure in the other mode. For example, to program the
remote to control a TV/VCR using code 748, follow the instructions to
program the remote to control the TV using code 748, and then repeat the
instructions for the VCR using the same code.

Tip: You can
program the
remote that came
with your receiver
to control the
receiver and up to
three other
devices.
