PROGRAMMING
The Atlas DVR/PVR 5-Device Universal Remote Control is preprogrammed to operate the Scientific Atlanta cable box (converter) provided by your cable system, an RCA TV, a Toshiba DVD player, an RCA VCR (as an AUX device), and a Pioneer audio receiver. To control devices other than the default brands, perform the following steps; otherwise skip this section:
If you have another
brand of cable converter or a satellite receiver you would like to control,
you’ll first need to unlock the cable ID Lock before changing the converter
code.
- Turn on a device and, if applicable, insert video media, (e.g., cassette or disc). [NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes and device you wish to program before moving on to step 2.]
- On the remote control, press a device key once (i.e.., AUX, DVD, AUD, TV, or CBL); it will blink once.Then press and hold SETUP until the selected mode key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
- Use the Manufacturer’s Codes to locate the the type of device and brand name and then enter the first four-digit code for your device. If performed correctly, the selected mode key will blink twice. [NOTE: If the selected mode key emits a long blink, the entry is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 3 and try entering the same code again]
- Aim the remote control at the device and press PWR once. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 2 through 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not respond, try searching for the code.
- Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each device you want the remote control to operate.
CODE SEARCH METHOD
If your home entertainment
device does not respond to the Atlas DVR/PVR 5-Device Universal Remote Control
after trying all of the codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not
listed at all, try searching for your code.
For example, to search for a
code for your TV:
- Turn on your TV.
- On the remote control, press TV once; it will blink once.Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
- Enter 9 - 9 - 1.The TV key will blink twice.
- Aim the remote control at the TV and slowly alternate between pressing PWR and TV. Stop when the TV turns off. [NOTE: In the search mode, the remote control will send IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.]
- Press SETUP once to lock in the code.The TV key will blink twice.
- To search for the codes of your other devices, repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitute the appropriate key (e.g., AUX, DVD, AUD, or CBL) for the device you are searching for.
CHECKING THE CODES
If you have set up the Atlas
DVR/PVR 5-Device Universal Remote Control using the Searching For Your Code procedure, you may need to
find out which four-digit code is operating your equipment.
For example, to find out
which code is operating your TV:
- On the remote control, press TV once; it will blink once.Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
- Enter 9 - 9 - 0.The TV key will blink twice.
- To view the code for the first digit, press 1 once.Wait 3 seconds and count the number of times the TV key blinks (e.g., 3 blinks = 3) and write down the number in the leftmost. [NOTE: If a code digit is “0”, the selected mode key will not blink]
- Repeat step 3 three more times for the remaining digits.Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit. Finish writing down the code in the TV Code.
- To check for other device codes, repeat steps 1 through 4, but substitute the appropriate key (e.g., AUX, DVD, AUD, or CBL) for the device you are checking. Write down the codes.
CHANGING VOLUME LOCK
On this remote control, Global Volume Lock is set to TV, so you can control TV volume
while in the AUX, DVD, TV or CBL mode.
If desired, you can still perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to set its volume control for
independent operation. [NOTE: The audio mode’s volume controls are active
regardless of Volume Lock settings. However, if you lock the volume controls to
the AUD mode, you will
have control of the audio device’s volume in all other modes (i.e., AUX, DVD, TV, and CBL).]
To Unlock Volume Control For A Single Device (Individual Volume Unlock)
- Assuming Global Volume Lock is active, select a mode on the remote control that you want to unlock (e.g.,CBL) and press it once. Next, press and hold SETUP until the device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
- Enter 9 - 9 - 3.The last-selected device key will blink twice.
- Press VOL- once. The last-selected device key will blink four times.
- Repeat steps 1 through 3 (of this section) for each device you want volume to be unlocked.
- Now, after you select a device that has volume unlocked (e.g., CBL), pressing VOL+, VOL-, or MUTE, will control the device’s volume only in its own mode.
To Unlock All Volume Control (Global Volume Unlock)
NOTE: Performing these
instructions will set independent volume control for all programmed devices.
- On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the last-selected device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
- Enter 9 - 9 - 3.The last-selected device key will blink twice.
- Press VOL+ once. The last-selected device key will blink four times.
To Lock Volume Control To One Mode (Global Volume Lock)
NOTE: The audio mode’s
volume controls are active regardless of Volume Lock settings. However, if you
lock the volume controls to the AUD mode, you will have
control of the audio device’s volume
in all other modes
(i.e., AUX, DVD, TV, and CBL).
- On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the last-selected device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
- Enter 9 - 9 - 3.The last-selected device key will blink twice
- Select a mode (e.g., TV) where you want to globally lock the volume controls. The selected device key will blink twice.
- Now,when you press VOL+, VOL-, or MUTE, the volume of the selected device (e.g., TV) can be controlled regardless of mode.
