Troubleshooting

If youre having problems setting up or using the Remote Commander: When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the procedures described under Setting the Component Codes. If the code thats listed first for your component doesnt work, try all the codes for your component in the order in which theyre listed. If all the codes fail to work (or if your component is not listed), try using the procedures under Setting by Searching for the Correct Code. Check that youre aiming the Commander directly at the component, and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the component. Make sure the batteries youre using are not worn out, and that theyre inserted correctly. Check that the button of the TV or VCR is pressed to choose your desired component. Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if your component didnt come with a remote control, it probably isnt capable of being controlled by the Remote Commander. Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory setting by pressing the 1, t and 2 buttons simultaneously. If you have any questions or problems concerning the Remote Commander that are not covered in this manual, please call the telephone number in the warranty.
