Note:
For the highest possible picture quality, you
must use ColorStream video cables between
the TV and DTV receiver. You can connect the
ColorStream cables from the DTV receiver to
either ColorStream jack on the TV (HD1 or
HD2).
The ColorStream HD1 and HD2 jacks can be
used with Progressive (480p) and Interlace
(480i,1080i) scan systems.
If your DTV receiver is not ColorStreamcompatible, use the S-video connections
(both audio and video) instead of the
ColorStream connections. Do not connect
both S-Video and ColorStream cables
between the TV and DTV receiver at the same
time.
To record from the DTV receiver, set the VCR
to Line IN. To monitor recording from the DTV
receiver, set the VCR to Line IN, and set the
TV to Video-1.
Caution:
The unauthorized recording of television
programs, videotapes, and other materials
may infringe upon the provisions of copyright
laws.

The VOLUME and MUTE will jump to “TV” by default. When the volume is unlocked, all the devices will have their own volume.
The AUDIO1/2 (Receiver, CD) modes will have their own volume even if Volume Lock is on TV, CABLE/SAT, VCR, or DVD. See
“Using the Volume Lock feature” on page 16.
Programming the remote control for use with
your audio/video devices
Device code setup
1. Refer to the Device code table on pages 17 – 20 to find the code
for the brand of your device.
If more than one number is listed, try each one separately until
you find the one that works.
2. Press MODE until the Mode indicator of the device (CABLE/
SAT, VCR, DVD, AUDIO1, AUDIO2) lights up.
3. While holding down the RECALL button, press the Channel
Number buttons to enter the four-digit code of your brand of
device. If a valid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink
twice. If an invalid code is entered, the mode indicator will blink
one long blink.
4. Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test
the code.
If the device turns on, you have entered the correct code.
If the device does not respond to the remote control, you may
have entered the wrong code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another
code.
5. Press MODE to select the TV mode to control the TV.
Searching and sampling the code of a device (991)
If you do not know the device code for a particular target unit, you
can cycle the remote control through the available codes for that
device mode and sample the functions to find the code that properly
operates the target device. The keys available to be sampled, provided
they are applicable to that mode, are 0, 1, 2, 3, POWER, VOL y,
CH y, PLAY, and STOP. Invalid keys will be ignored while in
program mode.
To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:
1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.
2. While holding down the RECALL button, press 9 –9 –1.
The remote control will enter program mode.
3. Point the remote control at the target device and press POWER
(or other function buttons that are available to be sampled).
4. If the device responds to the remote control:
Press RECALL to store the device code.
The mode indicator will blink twice and the remote control
will exit the program mode.
If the device does not respond to the remote control:
Press y, and then press POWER.
Repeat this step until the device responds to the remote
control, and then press RECALL.
Note:
• Every time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.
• Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes.These VCRs
have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”
If your VCR has this kind of switch and
does not respond to any of the codes for
your VCR brand, set the switch to the other
position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram
the remote control
