INTRODUCTION
Your RadioShack 7-in-One IR/RF Remote Control can replace up to seven infrared re­mote controls. You can use it to control your TV, VCR, cable converter, satellite receiver, CD player, tuner, phonograph, video acces­sory, digital audio tape, cassette, laser disc player, or DVD player.
Unlike some universal remote controls, this remote control is preprogrammed with the most commonly used commands and does not have to learn its commands from the orig­inal remote controls. All you have to do is tell it which device’s remote controls you want to replace (by entering 4-digit codes).
This manual includes a list of many manufac­turers’ 4-digit codes for your devices. After you enter the codes for your original re­motes, the 7-in-One IR/RF Remote is ready to operate the original remotes’ most used functions.
The 7-in-One transmits both infrare d (IR) and radio frequency (RF) signals, so you don’t need to be within “line-of-sight” to control d e­vices. With the supplied IR/RF Command Center, you can use the remote to control de­vices in any room of your home.
