Operating A TV/VCR Combo Unit
Some TV/VCR combination units may be controlled by using a
combination of TV and VCR codes. For example, the Samsung TV/VCR
combo unit may be controlled by both the Samsung TV
code and the Samsung VCR code.
Special Operations
RCA, GE and PROSCAN Brand Devices:
Many of these devices (TVs and VCRs) will not need to be
programmed. In the event that programming is required,
the code search method is suggested.
Note: With these brands, the device button (TV, VCR1, VCR2•LD,
AUDIO) will usually turn the units on. The POWER button will only
turn off the device, if you used the TV, VCR1 or AUDIO button to turn
the unit on.
SCIENTIFIC ATLANTIC Cable Boxes:
This brand of cable box can be programmed using the code search
method by using the CHANNEL UP key rather than POWER during
Code Search. NOTE: The device must be turned on prior to beginning
the code search. Once the device turns off, press and release ENTER.
In most cases this cable box can be turned on and off using the
CHANNEL UP key not the POWER button. If the unit will not turn
on using the CHANNEL UP key, then manually turn it on and
only partial compatibility will be achieved.
JERROLD or GENERAL INSTRUMENTS Cable Boxes:
These units can be programmed using the code search method.
In some cases, these devices will change channels during the
code search. Continue until the unit turns off, then press
and release ENTER.
ZENITH and OAK cable boxes
Some Zenith and Oak Cable Boxes require pressing CHANNEL
DOWN rather than ENTER after numeric entry.
