Thank you for purchasing the ONE FOR ALL Topline 5 Home Theater Universal Remote Control. Your Topline 5 package contains:

• Your Topline 5 remote control

• Your Topline 5 manual

Your User Guide & Codebook is divided into three parts: Basic Functions, Advanced Functions and Set-Up Codes. You may need this guide again in the future, so please be sure to keep it.

Your Topline 5 needs four new AAA/LRO3 Akalines batteries. Your ONE FOR ALL Topline 5 is designed to let you use one remote to

operate 5 Devices: any combination of Television, Videos, Satellites, Cable Converters, CD Players, Amplifiers and Tuners. This also includes those devices wich operate over 100kHz. You can choose any combination of 5 devices you would like to operate.

Also, what makes the Topline 5 even more unique is it includes “Timed Sequences” which allows you to initate a sequence of key presses at a specific time - a feature which is great for video programming, for example. The following pages explain in simple steps how to set up the Topline 5 and customize it for your home entertainment environment.

About your Topline 5

Your Topline 5 requires four (4) new alkaline AAA/LRO3 batteries. To install the batteries:

Remove the battery cover by pressing down on the bottom portion and sliding the cover off.

Match the batteries to the + and - marks inside the battery case, then insert the batteries.

Slide the battery cover back into place.

Once the batteries are inserted all the segments in the display screen will show. If the display screen is blank or if the screen reads [BATTERY LO], the batteries are running low and you must replace them with fresh batteries to ensure proper functioning. The Topline 5’s internal back-up batteries ensure that programming information is not lost if the batteries are changed; however, you will need to reset the clock upon changing batteries.
