Your RadioShack 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control
comes with an RF command console that allows
you to send commands to most IR (infrared)-controlled devices from any room in your home, up to
100 feet away. You can use it to control your TV,
VCR, cable box, and even lights and appliances
with Plug ’n Power modules (not supplied).
The 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control is preprogrammed. All you have to do is tell it which TV,
VCR, or other component’s remote controls yo u
want to replace (by entering 3-digit codes), and it
is automatically ready to operate most of the
same functions as the original remotes.
This manual includes a list of 3-digit manufacturer’s codes for TVs, VCRs, cable converters, compact disc players, satellites, and other popular remote-controlled devices.
The 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control’s feat ures include:
IR (Infrared) and RF (Radio-Frequenc
mands
— use the remote control with the sys-
) Com-
tem’s RF command console to control your IR remote-controlled devices from up to 100 feet
away, even through walls.
Reassi
nable Device Keys
— so you can control more than one of the same type of device (two
VCRs, for example).
Fast Search
— when you control m ore than one
of the same type of device, lets you quickly
search all programmed ma nufacturers’ codes for
that type of device until you find the code for th e
specific device you want to use.
— lets you scan through all the
available channels on your TV, VCR, or cable
box, stopping at each one for about 3 seconds.
Favorite Channel Scan
— lets you set up the remote to scan through a l ist of up to 10 channels
you select.
Programmable Sequence Command
— lets
you press a single key to send a set of commands.
Lighted Keypad
— lets you use the 6 in 1 even
in a dark or dimly lit room.
Plug ’n P ower Fu nctions
— allow you to operate your Plug ’n Power modules with your remote
and an optional IR controller (RadioShack Unlimited No. 10037703).
Powerful Infrared Beam
— uses UHF radio frequencies to go through walls, so you can operate
your remote-controlled devices from a greater
distance than many original remote controls — up
to 100 feet!
Convenient Keypad Design
— each key is in
the perfect position for easy operation.
Handy Reference Label
— provides a convenient place for you to write down the manufacturers’ codes for your remote-controlled devices.
Toll Free Support and Telephone Program-

How the System Works .......................................... 5
Your RadioShack 6 in 1 I R/RF Remote Control
was designed with the func tions used m os t often
to operate TV, VCR, cable converter, CD player,
satellite receiver, and audio equipment.
The 6 in 1 IR/RF Remot e Control comes with an
RF command console, which receives radio frequency signals from the 6 in 1 and converts them
into infrared signals to control your devices. The
console is set up in the same room as the devices
you want to control, but you can take the remote
farther away, even into another room.
When you set up the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control, its command keys work like the keys on your
original remote controls. For example, the 6 in 1
IR/RF Remote Control’s
on your original remote control which might be labeled POWER ON/OFF.

SETTING UP THE 6 IN 1’S RF
COMMAND CONSOLE
After you install batteries in the 6 in 1, just plug the
RF command console’s power cord into any standard AC outlet in the same roo m as your IR remote-controlled devices (TV, VCR, cable box,
and so on) and fully extended its antenna. Be
sure the command console is pointe d at the devices you want to control.
The command cons ole has a 4-foo t IR signa l extension cord for use with devices that are not in
the command console ’s line of sight . If you hav e
such a component , plug the extension cord into
the back of the command console and use the
supplied double-sided tape t o attach the extension cord’s LED over or next to the device’s IR
sensor.
Note:
The 6 in 1 transmits both IR and RF signals
at the same time. When testing the command
console, be sure the 6 in 1 is not pointed at your
devices.
LIGHTING THE KEYS
Press to light the keys o n the remote. Now,
every time you pres s a key, the 6 in 1 lights up
and stays lit for about 5 seconds.
To turn off the light, press again.

twice, then release it. Enter the 3-digit code.
For example, to replace a TV’s remote con-
trol (manufacturer’s setup code 154), press:
TV – SET UP – 1– 5 – 4
3. When the red light blinks twi ce again, the 6
in 1 has accepted the code.
4. Point the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control at
your device and press
PWR
(or CH s for
some cable boxes). Your device should turn
off (or on, if it was off).
If the remote does not ope rate your device,
try the other codes listed in the “Manufacturer’s Codes” section for your brand of TV,
VCR, cable converter, or other device.
Repeat Steps 2–5 for additional devices.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control stops wo rking
after you have successfully tested the control for
each device, or if you are unable to get the remote
control to work at all, check these things:
• Confirm that your remote control de vices are
working properly by using the original remote
control or the manual controls.
• Be sure you press the device key for the
device you want to control before you press
any other key.
• Replace the batteries.
• If some of the keys do not function for your
device, you might be able to search for a better device code.
