Programming the Remotes 32
I found a code for my
TV or A/V device and
some buttons work
but others do not This is fairly common because many
manufacturers use a slightly different
code for each product they put on the
market. So – you might have found a
code that worked the power button and a
few others but might not work the menu,
or other buttons do not work – the simple
solution is try other codes… Try them in
this order:
2) Try all the codes in the category you
are looking for (i.e. if you are looking
for a TV code, try all the TV codes
one at a time for the brand of TV you
are using)
3) Do a category code scan – hold down
Guide and the device you are trying
to program (Local[-TV for TV, BOCS
Red, Green or Blue, or DVD, AUX, or
CBL) then press the kind of device
you are trying to program (Local TV
for a TV, CBL for cable or sat box,
DVD for a DVD VCR or Laserdisc, or
Aux for anything else) then hold the
up arrow until your device turns
off/on – then press select to save that
code… If you have trouble see the
more detailed instructions in the
“programming the remote session”
4) Do a full scan (get something to drink
before you do, this takes a while) –
same steps as #3 above, just skip the
“press the kind of device you are
trying to program” step…
5) Buy a learning remote and learn the
codes for the buttons that do not
work
When I press an
Xtender channel
button, the TV
doesn’t change to a
channel where I can
see my Xtend-ed
device Don't forget that even though we tried to
make this as simple as possible, the
remote still has to be able to tell your TV
where it wants to go - with a standard
installation we put the Red channel on
14, Green on 98 and Blue on 96... One
thing that is a little different about an
Xtender remote is that it usually has to
tell your TV two things to get to an
Xtender channel - '1' and '4'... The most
common problem is that you don't keep
the remote pointing at the TV long
enough and the TV only sees the '1', it
happily goes to channel 1, you realize
that is not where you wanted to be and
quickly push the Red button again - only
to take you to channel '11'
The solution is simple - make sure you
point the remote at the TV and keep it
