+ If you change the setting of the RCVR button to a component other
than a receiver or amplifier, the volume control setting of video
components will return to “TV” even if you have changed the
factory preset volume control. In this case, you will not be able to
control the volume from audio components other than a receiver
or amplifier.
To reset to factory preset volume control
In step 3 above, press VOL- instead.
Operating a Component
ajajajaja)
2 Point the Commander directly at the component.
1 Press the button of the desired
component on the Commander,
3 Press the button for the function you want to use.
See “Remote Button Descriptions” for complete descriptions of the
buttons on the Commander.
Notes on Using the Remote Commander
Basically, use this Commander in the same way as the Commanders
supplied with your components.
+ Using this Commander will not increase the functions of your
components. The functions of the Commander are limited to the
functions of the components themselves. For example, if your TV
does not have a MUTING function, the MUTING button on this
Commander will not function with your TV.
+ Some functions of the component may not work with this
Commander.
+ If your cable box can control volume, be sure to set its volume
switch to a medium position. If the volume on the cable box is
turned down completely, you will not be able to adjust your TV's
volume with the Commander.

Setting a channel with a single button
(Channel Macro function)
You can program the Channel Macro function on any of the buttons
listed below (macro keys).
For example, instead of pressing O, @, and then ENT button to
change the TV channel, you can perform these operations by
pressing only the B button.
The macro keys are:
>, 44, >>, E, ll and @REC.
(During TV, cable box, or digital satellite receiver operations only.)
The series of operations that can be programmed must be consisted
of two to four sequential pressings of O to O buttons or ENT button.
Note
The Channel Macro function may not work correctly for some
components.
To program a series of operations
1 Press the desired component select button.
(You can select “TV”, “cable box”, or “digital satellite receiver”
only.)
2 While pressing the desired macro key, press the buttons required
for the operations in sequence.
For example, to program (O) — @ — ENT on the B button, hold
down > first, press O, @, and ENT in sequence, and then release
>.
Notes
+ Even if you try to program more than four operations and press the
corresponding buttons in step 2 above, only the first four buttons
that were pressed will be programmed.
+ If you try to program only one operation on a macro key, the
setting operation will be rejected.
e You can program the Channel Macro function for up to three
components only. To program for the fourth component, first clear
all macro keys for a component.
To change or clear the program
When you want to change the setting or if you are no longer using
that programmed operation, follow the procedure below to
overwrite or clear the program.
1 Hold down the macro key that you want to change or clear.
2 After waiting for about three seconds, press the new sequence of
buttons, or, to clear the program, press and release O, and then
press and release ENT.
3 Release the macro key.
Note
Be sure to wait for about three seconds in step 2 above. While you
are holding down the macro key and waiting, the p.
signals are transmitted; therefore, if you are aiming the Commander
at your component, the programmed operations may be performed
before you go on with the procedure.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Commander:
+ When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the procedures
described in “Setting the Code.” If the code that's listed first for your
component doesn't work, try all the codes for your component - in the order
in which they're listed. If all the codes fail to work (or if your component is
not listed in this manual), try using the procedures in “Searching for the
Correct Code.”
+ Check that you're aiming the Commander directly at the component, and that
there are no obstructions between the Commander and the component.
+ Make sure the batteries you're using are not worn out, and that they're
inserted correctly.
+ Check that the button of the TV, VCR, CBL/SAT, RCVR, or DVD is pressed to
choose your desired component.
+ Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if
your component didn't come with a remote commander, it probably isn't
capable of being controlled by a remote commander.
+ If your video components are connected to an audio system, make sure
you've set up the Commander as described in “Controlling the Volume of
Video Components Connected to an Audio System.”
+ Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory setting by
pressing the POWER, TV/VIDEO and VOL- buttons simultaneously
