2 Introduction

INTRODUCTION

T

he RadioShack 6-in-1 Easy Setup Voice Remote is a
revolutionary universal remote control that features
voice prompts to help you set up the remote. Moreover,
it allows you to consolidate the clutter of all of your
original remote controls into one easy-to-use product.
Advanced features include

:

• Macros – for instant activation of favorite

key sequences

• Learning – to capture unique functions from

your devices’ original remote controls

• Direct Code Setup – for easy voice-prompted

programming with setup codes

• Favorite Channel Scan – for easy channel

surfing of favorite channels

• Vol um e L oc k – to assign volume controls to

individual devices or to one global device

• Extensive Code Library – largest and most

efficient group of IR remote control codes for
virtually every current brand and make

After installing four (4) new AAA alkaline batteries
(not included, see next page), you can immediately
use the unit to control a RCA DVD Player, a Pioneer
CD Player and Audio Receiver, and a RCA TV,VCR,
and Satellite Receiver. To control other brands than
the default ones, see Programming Device Control
on page 6.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

BATTERY USE AND SAFETY

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and

properly.

• Do not burn or bury batteries.

• Use only new batteries of the required size.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different

types of batteries (e.g., standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.

• If you do not plan to use the remote control for

an extended period, remove the batteries.
They can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.

ABOUT BATTERY LIFE

As with all battery-operated devices, battery life
will vary depending on use, including frequency
and duration of key presses. The LED will flash and
the remote will say “Low batteries” when the
batteries in your RadioShack 6-in-1 Easy Setup
Voice Remote are running low.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your remote requires four AAA batteries (not
supplied) for power.

1. Press the tab on the battery compartment
cover (located on the back of the remote) and
lift off the cover.

2. Place the AAA batteries in the compartment as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -)
marked inside.

3. Align the cover with the compartment opening
and replace it.

enter 0 3 for the TV’s channel number. Next,
press CBL/SAT once, then POWER, then enter 0
7 1 for the Cable Box’s channel number (a total
of 9 key presses). This example turns the TV
on, sets it to channel 3, turns the cable or
satellite box on, then sets it to channel 71.

NOTE: If there are more than 15 key presses in the
sequence, the LED displays a long flash denoting an
error and the remote says “Try again” and returns to
the prompt for step 2.

4. To save the macro, press and hold SETUP until
the remote says “Success”, the LED blinks

USING LEARNING

The RadioShack 6-in-1 Easy Setup Voice Remote
includes a Learning feature so you can add
functions that are unique to your home
entertainment devices (e.g.,VCR Tracking Up or
Down).However, there are some considerations:

LEARNING PRECAUTIONS

• Your original remote controls must be in
working order for learning to work properly.

• Learned keys are mode specific, so each one
can store a unique function for each mode.

• Learned keys can be used in macros (see Using
Macros on page 8).

• Do not use the following keys for learning:

Device Keys, SETUP, BACK, REPEAT, FAV SCAN,
SLEEP, or Record (•) Key.

• Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25
keys, depending on the code being learned.

• Certain device codes are not learnable
including multi-frequency types, some high
frequency ones, and other unusual formats.

• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of
ambient light such as natural sunlight or
energy-efficient fluorescent lights.

NOTE: Please have your original remote controls
handy before programming learning.

PROGRAMMING A LEARNED KEY

programming menu, then press 5.

NOTE: If more than 15 seconds pass between key
presses, the remote says “Goodbye” and exits
programming.

2. At the prompt, press 1 to learn a function.

3. At the prompt, press a device key once (i.e.,
CBL/SAT, AUX, TV, DVD, AUDIO, or VCR) to assign
a mode for learning.

Continue holding the key on the original
remote until the RadioShack 6-in-1 Easy Setup
Voice Remote’s LED blinks twice, and the
remote says “Success” and returns to the
prompt for step 3.

want the volume controls locked. The remote
says “Success” and returns to the prompt for
step 2.

4. Press and hold BACK to exit programming.

Now, when you press VOLS, VOLT, or MUTE, the
selected device’s volume will be controlled,
regardless of the mode selected. For example, if you
lock the volume to the TV, the buttons listed above
will control the volume, even if the remote is in
CBL/SAT mode.
