The Titan universal remote control comes preprogrammed to operate the set-top box that is supplied
by your service provider. In addition, Titan can be
programmed to control 4 additional home theater
equipment devices.
Learning
If you would like to add certain control functions to
Titan that exist on another remote control, you can copy
those functions from the original remote to Titan by
following the steps in the LEARNING section of this
Users Guide.
Backlighting
The Titan universal remote control includes a keypad
backlight. This allows for easy key navigation in dark
ambient light conditions. If you wish to disable this
feature, please refer to the BACKLIGHTING section of
this Users Guide.
Volume Lock
You can use the Titan remote control to control your
home theater volume through one designated device,
regardless of the operating mode of the remote. The
default setting for VOLUME LOCK is for the remote to
use the TV to control volume and mute functions.
Channel Lock
You can use the Titan remote control to control your
home theater channel changing through one designated
device, regardless of the operating mode of the remote.
The default setting for Channel Lock is for the STB that
is supplied by your service provider to be used for
channel changing.
Macros
Titan supports the creation of macros, which allow you
to record a sequence of key-presses and store them on
one key. Once a macro is recorded, anytime that key is
pressed, the remote will send out the whole series of
key-press commands relating to the macro. Example:
Once key-press could turn TV on, turn DVD on, turn
audio receiver on, and put receiver in DVD input mode
so your home theater is ready for DVD viewing.
Master Power Macro
The Master Power Macro is a special feature that can be
enabled so that Titan remote control can turn all of your
home theater devices ON or OFF with a single key-press.
Refer to the MASTER POWER MACRO section of the
users guide for instructions to enable this feature.
