For VCR (or DVR) control
The list of VCR brands and VCR codes include selections for DVRs as well. By following the
instructions below, you can set the remote to control one or the other, but not both.
If you have both a VCR and a DVR, setting your remote to control the DVR will provide
more control options. Whether yours is a stand-alone DVR or is coupled with the VCR or
Cable/Satellite box makes no difference.

adjustments" on page 40.

For AUX control

LIFESTYLE ®remote to control it, although on and off control is not an option.

control of that component. Also, some manufacturers use a number of similar device codes.
After selecting one, you may find you can turn your VCR or DVR on and off, but are unable to
change channels or select Play or Pause. In that case, select a different device code that pro-
vides more control.
