Operating the One-For-All OARN08G Universal Remote Control

Operating the One-For-All OARN08G Universal Remote Control

In most cases, the keys on this remote perform the same functions as the keys on your original remotes once you've programmed this remote to operate your components. Many keys on this remote have other functions as well.

• Illuminated POWER key serves as an indicator light to provide feedback.
• Device keys (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, DVR, AUDIO, VCR, AUX1, AUX2) put the remote in the right mode to control your device.
• BACKLIGHTING key turns backlighting on/off. 
• GUIDE and MENU put the remote in menu/guide mode; they also access the same features as the keys on your original remotes.
• EXIT exits remote programming; it also performs the same functions as on your original remotes.
• Arrow keys act as navigation keys in device guides and menu systems.
• OK key selects your menu choices.
• The MACRO key, along with the number keys 1–8, let you store and execute multi-step actions (macros) in a single keypress.
• The INPUT and — (dash) key has three functions: (1) it toggles through all the video or audio sources connected to your TV or audio device; (2) when the remote is in VCR mode, this button toggles between VCR and the TV input; (3) when you're entering digital channel numbers directly, this button lets you separate the main channel number from the subchannel number (such as 59.1).

IMPORTANT: Because this remote controls more than one device, you must first “tell” the remote which device you wish to operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until you press a different device key. For example, if your remote is in TV Mode and you want to operate the DVD player, you must press the DVD•VCR key to change device modes.

Backlighting

Backlight illumination helps you see the remote control keys better in the dark. You can turn backlight illumination on or off by pressing the BACKLIGHTING key. Backlighting stays on as long as keys are being pressed and turns off four seconds after the last keypress. Once the backlight time has timed out, any keypress will reactivate it. If the backlight illumination is on, and you press the backlight key, the backlight turns off.
