Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Zenith Universal Remote
Control. Zenith Universal Remotes let you replace a broken or lost
remote or combine more than one remote into one. In addition, this
remote is equipped with a command learning feature which lets the
remote learn commands from your original equipment remote
control!

This remote control operates the common features of most but not
all models and brands of IR Infrared Controlled Video Equipment.
This remote may provide functions that are not available on your
equipment. Some functions of your particular equipment (e.g.
menu functions) may not be controlled by this remote.

In such cases, use the original remote control for your equipment.
Please use this manual to become familiar with your Zenith
Universal Remote. After you are familiar with your remote the first
thing you need to do is to install batteries and setup your remote
for your particular product and brand.

The remote also transmits wireless radio Frequency (RF) com­mands. The wireless receiver (included) receives these commands
and converts them to regular Infrared (IR) commands. These IR
commands are then emitted from the IR Extender (also included) to
control your A/V components. This lets you control your A/V
components from ANY room in your home - you don’t need to aim
the remote at your component!

Thank you for buying a Zenith remote and we hope it will give you
many years of service.
