a new code number will be transmitted.
Keep trying until your component operates by receiving the
transmitted signal from the Commander (e.g., the power turns off,
the CH+ function works, playback starts, etc.) Be patient as you do
this; it may take about 100 tries until the correct code number is
located.

code number in the Commander's memory.
7 Check that the Commander is operating the other functions of
your component by pressing the corresponding buttons on the
Commander. If they seem to be working properly, you're done
setting up the Commander.
If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 1 to 6 and
search for another code.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
“Troubleshooting.”

Controlling the Volume of Video
Components Connected to an Audio
System
The Commander is factory preset based on the assumption that you
hear the sound of your video components from your TV's speakers,
and that you hear the sound of your audio components from the
loudspeakers connected to your receiver (or amplifier).
Factory Setting:
Button Controls the volume of
TV TV
VCR, CBL/SAT*, DVD* TV
RCVR Receiver (or amplifier)
* If you assign an audio component on the CBL/SAT or DVD button, you can
control the volume of the receiver (or amplifier) on the RCVR button. If you
assign video components on these buttons, you can control the volume of the
TV.
Thus you can control the volume of your TV or receiver (or
amplifier) while operating a video or audio component without first
having to press the TV or RCVR button. For example, to control the
volume for your VCR channels, you don’t need to press the TV
button first.
However, if your video components are connected to an audio
system, you probably hear your TV’s or VCR’s sound from the
loudspeakers connected to your receiver (or amplifier), not from
your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory setting
so that you can control the volume of your video components
without first having to switch to the receiver (or amplifier).
To change the factory setting for the volume control, follow the
procedures below.

it on the CBL/SAT or DVD button, when selecting these buttons you
cannot control the volume of the receiver (or amplifier) of the RCVR
button.
