SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

Before using your new I-TV remote control,

Then you’ll also need to program the I-TV
remote control with the correct code num­bers for your specific components. See
instructions starting on page 5.

ABOUT BATTERIES

1

2

3

NOTE: The I-TV requires four (4) new “AAA”
alkaline batteries (not supplied). Do not mix
old and new batteries or mix alkaline with
manganese-type batteries.

4. Test the unit by pressing POWER and any
Component key (e.g., TV,VCR, CBL, etc.).
If the batteries are inserted correctly, the
red indicator light will blink once.

Installing Batteries

1. On the back of the remote control, push
the tab and lift the battery compartment
cover off.

2. Match the + and – marks on the batteries
to the + and – marks in the battery case
and insert four (4) “AAA”alkaline batteries.

3. Press the battery cover back into place.
The tab should click when the cover is
locked.

Battery Saver

The I-TV has a Time-Out feature that will
automatically deactivate the remote control if
a key is depressed for more than 30 seconds.
This feature will help conserve the battery life
should your remote control get stuck in a
place where keys remain depressed (e.g.,
between the sofa cushions).

Replacement And Code Saver

When the batteries need replacing, the I-TV
remote control will stop working and will
require four (4) new “AAA”alkaline batteries
for continued operation. Once you remove
the old batteries, program settings and
codes will be saved for 10 minutes, allowing
adequate time to insert new ones.

However, if you do not replace the batteries
within the allotted time (i.e., 10 minutes),
you will have to reprogram the I-TV remote
control (see next page).

USING THE LIGHTED KEYPAD

When activated, the I-TV remote control
features a lighted keypad that illuminates all
of the remote control keys whenever you
press any key.

1. To turn on the keypad back light,

press LIGHT once.The keypad will
remain lit for 5 seconds after you
release any key.

2. To turn off the keypad back light,
press LIGHT once again. (The key­pad will not light whenever you
press any key.)

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

Philips/Magnavox Components

The I-TV remote control can control up to six
different components and is already pre-pro-
grammed for use with newer Philips/
Magnavox audio/video equipment. Unless
you want to change a factory setting, skip the
programming instructions and simply start
using your new remote control.

Programming Other Components

To control component brands other than
Philips/Magnavox,you’ll need to perform the
following steps to manually program the I­TV with codes listed under Manufacturer’s
Codes on pages 14 through 19.Or as alterna­tive, you can use the Auto Scan feature, on
page 6, to program your component codes.

The following chart lists the I-TV’s compo­nent keys and what type of device each key
will control:

Key Programmed To Control

TV TV
VCR VCR, DVD or LD Player
CBL Cable Box
AUD Amplifier,Tuner, Misc.Audio,

or CD Player

DSS Digital Satellite System
CD CD Player,Amplifier, Tuner,or

NOTE: If you want the component keys to
control other types of devices, you’ll need to
reassign the component keys. See page 7.

IMPORTANT: Please completely read and
review the following steps before proceeding.We
recommend highlighting the codes (starting on
page 14) for the brands you wish to program or
writing them down in the supplied chart.
