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 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 in this manual), try using the procedures in 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, VCR, CBL/SAT, or DVD 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 commander, it probably isnt capable of being controlled by a remote commander. Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory setting by pressing the POWER, TV/VIDEO and VOL buttons simultaneously.

When to replace the batteries
Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to 6 months. If the Commander does not operate properly, the batteries might be worn out. Replace the batteries with new ones.
2 Point the Commander directly at the component. 3 Press the button for the function you want to use. See Remote Button Descriptions for complete descriptions of the buttons on the Commander.

Replace both batteries with new ones. Do not take more than 3 minutes to replace the batteries; otherwise, your setting of the code numbers will be erased.
Searching for the Correct Code
If youve tried all the code numbers listed for your component and you still cannot get the Commander to work (or if your component is not listed in the Component Code Numbers tables), try these steps. 1 Power on the component you want to set up. Insert a tape or disc if necessary. 2 While pressing the SET button, press the POWER button. 3 Press the button of the component on the Commander that you want to set up. 4 Press and release the CH+ button. Then press and release the POWER button. 5 Repeat step 4 until the correct code number is found. Each time you press the CH+ button and then the POWER button, 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 70 tries until the correct code number is located. 6 When the correct code is found, press the ENT button to store the code number in the Commanders 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, youre 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.
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 TVs volume with the Commander.

Setting Up the Remote Commander
