until all mode buttons light. Then, let go.
2. Press the POUND (#) button twice while watching
the SAT mode button.

S ETTING U P TO C ONTROL O THER D EVICES
To use the remote to control other devices (such as a TV, VCR, DVD
player, tuner, or amplifier), you must first program it to control these
other devices. You can do this by either following the instructions in
Setting Up Using Device Code Tables on page 9, or the Setting Up
Using Device Codes Scan procedure described on page 10.
C OMBINATION D EVICES
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.
L IMITED M ODE
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 to control your TV.
Also, when you use the remote to control your VCR in Limited Mode,
you will only be able to use the POWER and VCR function buttons.
The section Setting Up Using Device Codes Tables has a step that tells
the remote control to go into Limited Mode.
Note: Limited Mode can not be used with audio amplifiers.
