your choice.
Besides the preprogrammed devices, you may also teach your
HTMR to operate other infra-red controlled equipment and
appliances, such as HiFi, etc. Y our HTMR can learn and reproduce
up to 120 commands from other remote controls. All 6 device
modes (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT, CTV, AUX) can be taught to operate
additional commands:–
1. Press a desired device mode key (e.g. , “ ” icon will
