You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver
or other devices.
Set up the remote to control a device like a TV or a VCR. See Set Up
the Remote Control on page 6 for what to do.
Note : The remote comes already set up to control the receiver, unless
you have changed the address on your receiver.
Use the remote control’s mode buttons, SAT (“satellite” receiver), TV ,
VCR (for a VCR or a DVD player), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a cable
TV box, a tuner, a second TV, a second VCR, a DVD player, or an
audio amplifier) to set the remote to the right mode for the device. To
change the mode, press the button for the device you want the remote
to control. The mode button stays lit for two seconds to show you’ve
set the remote to that 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 function 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.
