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.
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.
