About your TOTAL CONTROL
By choosing the TOTAL CONTROL Universal Remote Control you
have opted for easy use. Made of the strictest quality, it will provide
long-term satisfaction. Please read these enclosed instructions
carefully before putting your TOTAL CONTROL to use.
Your TOTAL CONTROL manual is divided into two parts: Set Up
Instructions and Device Codes. You will need your manual to set up
your new TOTAL CONTROL so please be sure to keep it.
Your TOTAL CONTROL is designed to let you use one remote to
operate your Video and Audio equipment; any device designed to be
operated by an infrared signal. You can choose any combination
of six devices you would like to operate.
The key benefit of this product is that it’s equipped with the
"learning feature", which means that you can copy almost any
function from your original (working) remote control onto your new
TOTAL CONTROL.
Your TOTAL CONTROL needs 4 new AAA/LR3 batteries.

Setting up your devices
Example: to set up the TOTAL CONTROL for your Television:

Codes are listed by brand name. The most popular
code is listed first. Make sure your television is switched on
(not on standby).
2 Press and release the TV key on your TOTAL CONTROL.
3 Press and hold down the SET key until the red light blinks
twice (the red light will blink once and then twice).
4 Enter your four-digit code using the number keys.
The red light will blink twice.
5 Now, aim your TOTAL CONTROL at your television and
press POWER. If your television switches off, your TOTAL-
CONTROL should be ready to control your television.
- If your device does not respond, follow steps 1 through 5 with each
code listed for your brand. If none of the codes listed for your brand
operate your device, then try the Search Method described on page 7,
even if your brand is not listed at all.
- Some codes are quite similar. If your device does not respond or is not
functioning properly with one of the codes, try another code listed
under your brand.

to a device key. If your original remote operates more than one device
(for example; a receiver, CD player and cassette player in one remote),
you need to set up each device separately.
- Write your code in the boxes provided in the battery compartment
and on page 8, for quick, easy reference.
