Welcome to the Ultimate Control Experience!
Your new AT8400™ AllTouch® Universal Remote Control (remote) is a true universal remote, functioning as four remotes in one. As one example, you can use this remote to operate your TV, VCR, cable box, and receiver.
How Does A Universal Remote Control Work?
You tell the remote which type of device you want to operate using the four keys arched across the top of the remote. These keys, known as mode keys, are labeled CBL, TV, VCR, and AUX. Each mode key is associated with a specific device. As an example, if you want the remote to operate your TV, you simply press the TV key. Other keys you press on the remote thereafter should operate your TV. Want to switch the remote to operate a different device? Just press the mode key for the next device you want to operate. In this guide, you will learn which types of devices you can control and how to program the remote to control your specific devices.
Note: Some remote keys may not operate in all modes. You can even program your remote to assign specific functions, such as channel control, to operate one device only. You will learn more about these advanced functions later in this guide.
Where Do I Start?
Before you begin programming your remote, complete the following initial setup tasks.
Install the Batteries
The remote requires two AA batteries (alkaline recommended). A diagram in the battery compartment of the remote indicates proper placement of the batteries. When batteries are properly installed, the light on the remote blinks each time a key is pressed.
Visit the Quick Reference
Timing is often important when you program advanced features. Therefore, knowing where certain keys are on the remote gives you an edge in pressing the right key at the right time.
Find a Place to Store Your Remote
Keeping up with one remote is much easier than keeping up with four remotes. How­ever, it is still a good idea to find a storage location for your remote. The AT8400 AllTouch Remote Control is not a toy. It should be kept out of the reach of children under the age of 6 years.
Important Information About Power Control
Scientific-Atlanta strongly recommends that you turn off your cable box every time you turn off your TV. To make this easier, you can program your remote to turn both devices on or off at the same time. After you program the remote to control your four favorite entertainment devices, see Change Power Control to learn more about programming your remote to control power for the TV and cable box at the same time.

What Devices Can I Control?
The mode keys arched across the top of the remote tell the remote which device you want to operate.
Each mode key is associated with different groups of devices. You can use each mode key to control one of its associated devices:
Mode Key Associated Devices
CBL .......... cable boxes and satellites
TV............. TVs and HDTVs
VCR ......... VCRs, DVD players, PVRs (personal video recorders), and CD players
AUX ......... receivers, amplifiers, and tuners
What Devices Do I Want to Control?
Record the devices (including brand) you want to control here:
1_____________________________ 3_____________________________
2_____________________________ 4_____________________________
Does each mode key relate to only one of your devices? If yes, go to Program the Remote to Control My Devices. Otherwise, reassign mode keys to match your combination of devices.
Reassign Mode Keys
If you are a big movie fan, you may want to control two video recording devices. Perhaps you have a DVD player and a VCR, or a VCR/DVD combination device. How can you control both the VCR and the DVD player when you only have one VCR key? With the AT8400, you can reassign a mode key to operate in a different mode. For example, you can reassign the AUX key to operate in VCR mode. Then, you can program the AUX key to control your DVD player. You can reassign the AUX key, the VCR key, or both. The TV key and the CBL key cannot be reassigned.
Reassigning Mode Keys (Program Code 9 9 2)
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 9 9 2. The CBL mode key blinks twice.
3. Press the mode key associated with the type of device you want to control, and then press the mode key that you want to change. All mode keys blink three times.
Some Common Examples
To program the AUX key to operate in VCR mode, press VCR and then AUX.
To program the VCR key to operate in TV mode, press TV and then VCR.
4. When finished, go to Program the Remote to Control My Devices.
