9PC CONTROL

4.2. Programming the TV, VCR , DVD, SAT and AUX modes

You can program the TV, VCR , DVD, SAT and AUX modes in three different ways.

1. When your equipment is one of the following six brands (Philips, Sony, Thomson, Saba, Grundig, Nokia) you can use the Brand Search method. Use method A in this

case.

2. Are you using another brand of equipment ? If so, find your brand in the code book, and use method B to program your PC Control.

3. If the above two methods are not working, you can use method C and search for the codes manually or automatically.

Note: you can dedicate any appliance (TV, DVD, SAT...) to the VCR, DVD, SAT,or AUX keys.

Method A: Programming using the Brand Search method

If your brand is listed hereafter, you have the possibility to use the brand search method (faster than the "manual" and the "automatic code search").

Brand Code Brand Code

Philips/Radiola 1 Telefunken/Saba/Normende 4 Sony/Panasonic/JVC/Sharp

Akai/Toshiba/Daewoo 2 Grundig/Blaupunkt 5

Thomson/Brandt 3 Nokia/ITT 6

1. Turn on the device you want to control.

Press and hold SETUP (4) until the LED indicator (2) lights steadily. Release SETUP button.

3. Press the mode button (3) that matches the equipment you wish to control. The LED (2) blinks once.

4. Enter the code corresponding to your brand, point the PC Control Remote in the direction of your equipment, press Channel+ (9) once only. Continue to point the PC Control Remote at your equipment until the equipment changes channel (the remote control sends an IR signal every second. Please wait until your equipment reacts). When your equipment does react, press on the key --/- (14) to confirm. If you accidentally miss the code, you can stop the autosearch by pressing Channel- (9) and by repeatedly pressing this key return to the right code. Press --/- (14) to confirm.

Method B: Programming using the 3 Digit Code Tables

1. Make sure your equipment is switched on (for example TV).

2. Press and hold the SETUP (4) key until the LED indicator lights continuously. Release the SETUP key. Press and release the mode key (3) of the device you want to control (for example TV).

4. Enter the 3 digit code from the Code Book by using the key pad (11). The LED (2) turns off after the last digit is entered. If you entered a wrong code the LED blinks for 3 seconds and then goes off. You have to repeat from step 2.

5. Point the remote in the direction of your TV and press the POWER button (1). Your device should turn off. Check other functions (for example for a VCR FF or REW, etc.). If certain functions are not responding, this indicates that the entered code is not the correct one. In that case repeat the above procedure with the next corresponding code of your brand.

6. Repeat this procedure from step 1 for the other equipment you want to control (VCR, DVD, SAT).

10 MARMITEK

If your equipment (TV, SAT etc....) does not respond, try the other codes for your brand. If

it still doesn’t respond, try the manual or automatic code search method

Method C: Manual or automatic code search

When searching an unknown code, you can step through the library manually or automatically. When your equipment responds, you can stop the searching process and store the code you found.

Note: as you can dedicate any appliance (TV, DVD, SAT...) to the VCR, DVD, SAT or AUX keys, you first need to enter any 3 digit code for the kind of appliance you wish to control (found in the code book), i.e.: If you want to program a SAT under the AUX key, enter ANY SAT code found in the code book and then follow the steps below.

Manual code search

1. Make sure your equipment is switched on.

2. Press and hold SETUP (4) until the LED indicator lights steadily. Release SETUP

Press the mode key (3) that matches the equipment you want to control (for example TV).

4. Press Channel+ (9) repeatedly until the channel changes. If you step past the correct code use Channel- (9) to go back to the right code.

5. When the equipment you want to control reacts press --/- (14) to confirm the code. That’s all.

Note: If your equipment doesn't have Channel+ you can use PLAY (VCR or DVD) (22) or POWER (1) key. The search starts after the last registered code. If that was 030, the

search starts at 031 until the last possible code and then goes from 000 to 029.

Note: if certain functions of your equipment can’t be controlled you will have to find a different code for your brand.

2. Legen Sie 4 AAA Alkalibatterien ein und prüfen Sie, ob sie mit dem Pluspol der Batterie in derselben Position wie innen im Batteriefach angegeben, richtig eingelegt wurden.

3. PC Control Betrieb

Die PC-Fernbedienung arbeitet mit dem schnurlosen USB-Empfänger CM21A. Die Fernbedienung sendet schnurlose Funkfrequenzsignale zum CM21A-Empfänger, der mit dem USB-Anschluss des Computers verbunden ist. Die beiliegende CD enthält eine besondere Version der populären ShowShifter-Software. Sie können ShowShifter zur Steuerung der Multimediafunktionen Ihres Computers verwenden. Damit Sie die Informationen auf dem Bildschirm Ihres Computers aus einiger Entfernung lesen können, verwendet ShowShifter spezielle Schriften und große Schaltflächen. Sie können die Informationen sogar auf dem Bildschirm Ihres Fernsehers anzeigen (dafür benötigt Ihr Computer einen TV-Anschluss).

TIPP: Wissen Sie, dass Sie Ihren Computer schnurlos an Ihren Fernseher anschließen können, sogar von einem anderen Zimmer aus? Mit dem auf Wunsch erhältlichen "PC to TV"-Sender von Marmitek (REF: 09516) können Sie es. Für mehr Informationen besuchen Sie www.marmitek.com.
