INTRODUCTION
Your RadioShack 6-in-One Smart Audio/Video (A/V)
Remote Control is both preprogrammed with the
most commonly used commands and equipped with
“smart technology ” that lets you custom ize your remote to suit your home entertainment needs.
Your 6-in-One can re place up to six infrar ed remote
controls. Use it to con trol your TV, VCR, c able converter, satellite receiver, CD or DVD player, tuner,
phonograph, video accessory, digital audio tape,
cassette, or laser disc player from up to about 26 feet
(8 meters) away. It also has these features:
Four Smart Keys
— can learn up to 24 features from
your original re motes (one for each key in u p to six
device modes), so you can use the 6-in-One to perform functions that were not part of its original p rogramming.
Lighted Keypad
— lets you easily see the remote’s
buttons in a dark room. With this feature on, pressing
any button lights the entire keypad.
Favorite Channel Scan
— lets you program your remote to automatically scan through 10 of your favorite channels on a TV, VCR, or cable converter.
Sleep Timer
— lets you set a devi ce with or with out
a built-in sleep tim er to operate for 15 -minute intervals (up to 60 minutes), then automatically turn off.
This manual incl udes a list of many manufacturers’
4-digit codes for your devices. (If your br and is not
listed, see “Searching for a Code” on Page 48.) After
you enter the codes for y our ori gin al re mote s, the 6 in-One Smart A/V Remote is ready to operate the
original remotes’ most used functions.
