Accessing Menus 

This remote supports menu access, navigation and selection for many makes and models of TV and satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters. The amount of menu functionality varies from model to model and from brand to brand.

To use the Menu function:

1. Press the component button whose menu you wish to access (TV or SAT·CBL·DTC).
2. Press the MENU key. The menu of the chosen component is shown. While in Menu Mode the Red LED will blink until you exit or Menu function times out. The keys on this remote function as follows:
   • Vol up/ down: Cursor moves right/left
   • Ch +/-: Cursor moves up/down
3. To exit the menu mode press the corresponding component key on the remote (TV or SAT·CBL·DTC).

Accessing Digital Channels

The INPUT and — (dash) key lets you enter a digital sub-channel number, like 59.1, directly.

Use the number keys to enter the main channel number (in this case, “59”).

Then press the INPUT (–) key and press the subchannel number (in this case, “1”).

When you're not entering channel numbers, the INPUT key toggles through all the video sources connected to your TV as well.

Programming Channel Control Lock

By default, in TV mode the remote control’s channel-control capabilities are locked to the Cable Box or Satellite Receiver or Digital TV Converter. The affected keys are 1 through 0, Ch , CH and Go Back. This will guarantee that you do not inadvertently change a channel on your TV. However you can deactivate this feature to allow full access to these keys in TV mode.

Unlocking Channel Control:

1. On the remote Control, press SAT/CBL/DTC key and hold the key down. At the same time press and hold down the CH until the LED turns red and stays on.
2. Then press the Enter key to unlock and save. Now the remote control will provide TV channel control capabilities while in the TV mode.

Locking Channel Control to SAT/CBL/DTC:

1. On the remote Control, press SAT/CBL/DTC key and hold the key down. At the same time press and hold down the Ch until the LED turns red and stays on.
2. Then press the Enter key to lock and save. Now the remote control will provide channel control capabilities while in the SAT/CBL/DTC mode. 

Retrieving Remote Codes

Once you've found the code that works best with your component, you might want to write it down so that you can use it if you ever need to program a remote for this component again.That’s easy if you used the Direct Code Entry method—just write down the code you used from the list. However, if you used the Auto Code Search or Manual Code Search, you will need to go through the following steps to know exactly which code you're using.

1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH key until the indicator light turns on.
2. Press the component key that matches the component’s code you are retrieving (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC). The indicator light blinks once and then remains lit.
3. Press the CODE SEARCH key again. The indicator light turns off.
4. Starting with 0 on the keypad, press the number keys in order (0-9) until the indicator light turns on. The number that causes the indicator light to light up is the first digit of your code. Write it down for future reference.
5. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all four numbers of the code.
