can also
operate the following components: DVD Players,
Cassette Decks, Home Automation, Digital Audio
Tape, Phonographs, Video Accessories and
Miscellaneous Audio Components (Graphic
Equalizers and Digital Music Service Boxes).

The Set Up codes for these devices can be
accessed under the following device keys:

DVD Players: Use the AUX1 Key
Cassette Decks: Use the AUX1 Key
Home Automation: Use the CD Key
Digital Audio Tape: Use the AUX1 Key
Phonographs: Use the CD Key
Video Accessories: Use the CBL Key
Miscellaneous Audio: Use the AMP Key

Note: Each device key (TV, VCR, CBL etc.) can
only operate one component at a time. If you have
already set up a component on a key, then assigning
a second component on the same key will erase the
