ˆ A Quick Look at the
Keys
Your Radio Shack 4-in-1 Light-Up Remote controls the most-used functions on your TV, VCR, cable/SAT/DSS converter, and DVD player.
After you set up the remote, its command keys will work like the keys on your original remote controls. For example, depending on the device you select (TV, VCR, CBL/ SAT, or DVD) POWER operates just like the POWER ON/OFF key on the remote control for your original TV, VCR, cable/SAT/DSS, or DVD player.
The following table lists all keys and how they function.

|

A Quick Look at the Keys |
ˆ Preparation
After installing the batteries (not included), you can immediately use the remote to control an RCA TV, VCR, and DIRECTV receiver, as well as a Pioneer DVD player. To control other brands, you must perform some simple programming to overwrite the default parameters.
For best results, please read and perform all remaining instructions. Also, keep these instructions for future reference.
If you experience any difficulties programming your remote, call customer service at 888-631-9859.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your remote requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•Do not use rechargeable batteries.
•Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (standard or alkaline).
•Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Note: Do not press any of the remote control’s keys while installing batteries.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1.Press the battery compartment cover’s tab and lift off the cover.
2.Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3.Replace the cover.
Preparation |
7 |
When batteries become low, the remote control ceases operating in order to protect stored settings. Replacing the batteries with new ones restores full functionality and does not require you to reprogram your remote control.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the remote for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
DEVICE TYPES
You can use the remote control’s device keys to control the following types of devices:
TV — TV
VCR — VCR or PVR (Personal Video Recorder)
CBL/SAT — Cable converter or SAT/DSS receiver
DVD — DVD or LD Player
SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE
To control devices other than the default brands (for example, an RCA TV, VCR, and DIRECTV receiver, and a Pioneer DVD player), perform the following steps. If you use the default brand devices, skip this section.
1.Refer to “Manufacturers’ Codes” on Page 20 and write down the code(s) for the brand of each device you want to program on the supplied label.
Note: Some manufacturers may have several codes listed. Try each until you find the right one. If you cannot find the correct code, see “Manual Code Search” on Page 17.
2.Turn on all your home entertainment devices.
3.On the remote control, press the desired device key (TV, VCR, CBL/SAT, or DVD).
8 |
Preparation |
Note: For TV/VCR combinations, press VCR and use the VCR code listed for your model under “TVVCR Combo Codes” on Page 33. If your TV/VCR combination also lists a TV code, you must program the TV separately by repeating Steps 3–5 to add volume control. In Step 3, press TV, then in step 4 enter the TV code.
4.Hold down P until the remote’s red light blinks twice, then release P. Enter the first 4-digit manufacturer’s code for the desired device. When the red light blinks twice, the remote control has accepted the code.
For example, to set up the remote control of a Panasonic TV (manufacturer’s code 0051), press TV, hold down P until the red light blinks twice, then release P and press 0 0 5 1.
Note: If you entered the code incorrectly, the red light emits one long blink.
5.Point the remote control at the desired device and press POWER. The device should turn off.
If the remote control does not operate your device, try the other codes listed in “Manufacturers’ Codes” on Page 20 for your brand of device. Otherwise, use the search method to find a working code — see “Manual Code Search” on Page 17.
6.Repeat Steps 3–5 to program other devices.
Note: If the remote control does not operate all device functions, try using another code in the list that may be more compatible.
PROGRAMMING FAVORITE CHANNEL SCAN
Once they have been programmed into a favorite channel table, you can scan up to ten favorite channels for a desired device.
Note: Once you have programmed SCAN/FAV for Favorite Channel Scan, you cannot use it for Channel Scan unless you reset it (see “Resetting Scan” on Page 10).
Preparation |
9 |
1.Select either TV or CBL/SAT for the favorite channel scan.
2.Hold down P until the red light blinks twice.
3.Press 9 9 6 to start the program.
4.Enter a desired two-, three-, or four-digit channel number (for example, 050 or 0500), depending on your device.
If you entered a twoor three-digit channel number, you must next do one of the following:
•If your original remote requires you to press Enter or Select to send a command, then do so after entering the digits of your favorite channel.
•If your original remote does not require you to press Enter or Select to send a command, then after entering your twoor three-digit channel number, press P.
If you entered a four-digit channel number, do not press P.
5.Repeat Step 4 up to nine more times to store another favorite channel for the same device, or exit the program by pressing P until the red light blinks twice.
Note: Upon entering the tenth channel, the remote exits favorite channel programming.
Programming Favorite Channel Scan for a second device deletes the programming for the first.
Resetting Scan
Once you have programmed SCAN/FAV for Favorite Channel Scan, you cannot use it for Channel Scan unless you reset it.
To reset SCAN/FAV, follow these steps.
1.Select either TV or CBL/SAT.
2.Hold down P until the red light blinks twice.

Preparation |
3.Press 9 9 6. You can now use the remote for Channel Scan (see “Using Channel Scan” on Page 14).
4.Hold down P until the red light blinks twice.
PROGRAMMING MACROS
Your remote has four macro keys (MUSIC, MOVIE, SPORT, and NEWS) that you can use to store up to three channels per macro key for instant tuning of TV or cable/ satellite channels. For example, if your favorite sports channel on your cable service is 061, you can store it as an instant tune-in macro.
Follow these steps to program macros.
1.Hold down P until the red light blinks twice.
2.Press 9 9 5 to start the program.
3.Press the desired macro key (MUSIC, MOVIE,
SPORT, or NEWS).
4.Press CBL/SAT or TV to select the appropriate home entertainment device.
5.Press the numbers for the desired channel (for example, for the sports channel in the previous example press 0 6 1). Hold down P until the red light blinks twice to save the setting.
Notes:
•If your original remote control requires you to press Enter or Select to send a command, press ENTER after entering the three-digit channel number. Hold down P until the red light blinks twice.
•If your device requires a four-digit channel number, make sure to enter four digits, then hold down P until the red light blinks twice.
If you want to add two more channels to the macro keys, repeat Steps 1–5 twice, each time substituting another channel number in step 5.
