NOTE: Some TV/VCR Combo codes may require

a separate TV code to control volume. Check the

codes above and follow the instructions in the

“Programming TV Control” section (on the front

side) using the supplied TV code. If there is no

TV code listed for your TV/VCR Combo’s oper-

ating code, you will need to use the volume

control capabilities of your General Instrument

Cable Converter.

PROGRAMMING CABLE CON-

VERTER (OR DBS) CONTROL

When you received your DRC remote con-

trol,it was already programmed to operate

your GI Cable Converter. However, if you

want to control a DBS receiver or a different

Cable Converter, perform the following

instructions (otherwise skip to the next

topic):

1. Turn on the Cable Converter or DBS

Receiver.

2. On the DRC, press and hold CABLE

(at least 6 seconds) until you see the

programming mode start. Each of

the mode key lights will turn off and

on sequentially, starting with AUX

on through TV, and the sequence

will repeat twice. During this time,

release CABLE and wait until it’s lit

continuously.

3. Locate your Cable Converter or DBS

brand in the SETUP CODES FOR

CABLE CONVERTERs or SETUP

CODES FOR DBSs below. Brands are

listed in alphabetical order with the

most popular codes listed first.

4. Enter the first four-digit code for

your Cable Converter or DBS.If

you perform this procedure correct-

ly, the CABLE light will blink three

times.

NOTE: If you enter an invalid code,

the CABLE light will turn off.Repeat

steps 2 through 4 with a valid code.

5. Aim the DRC at your Cable Converter

or DBS Receiver and and press

POWER once.Your Cable Converter

or DBS receiver should turn off. If it

does not respond,repeat steps 2-4,

trying each code listed for your

brand until you find the one that

operates your Cable Converter or

DBS Receiver. If your unit still does

not work with the DRC,try searching

for the code (see Searching For Your

Code).

6. Write down the Cable Converter or

DBS Receiver code in the boxes

below for future reference.

NOTE: Remember, to use your DRC to operate

your Cable Converter or DBS Receiver, press

CABLE first.

PROGRAMMING AUXILIARY

COMPONENT CONTROL

To program the DRC to control an auxiliary

component (e.g.,a second TV or VCR,a GI

DBS Receiver, or Digital Audio Tuner):

1. Turn on your auxiliary component

(and if it’s a VCR,insert a video cas-

sette).

2. On the DRC, press and hold AUX (at

least 6 seconds) until you see the

programming mode start. Each of

the mode key lights will turn off and

on sequentially, starting with AUX

on through TV, and the sequence

will repeat twice. During this time,

release AUX and wait until it’s lit

continuously.

3. Locate the brand in the SETUP

CODES listed for your type of auxil-

iary unit (e.g.,VCRs,TVs, Cable

Controllers,or DBS Receivers) or

audio service listed below. Brands

are listed in alphabetical order with

the most popular codes listed first.

4. Press AUX,VCR,CABLE, or TV once

to let the DRC know what type of

device you want to assign to the AUX

mode.

5. Enter the first four-digit code for

your auxiliary component. If you per-

form this procedure correctly, the

AUX light will blink three times.

NOTE: If you enter an invalid code, the

AUX light will turn off.In that case,

repeat steps 2 through 5 with a valid

code.

6. Aim the DRC at your auxiliary com-

ponent and press POWER once (or

PLAY once if it’s a VCR). The device

should turn off (or start playing the

tape).If the auxiliary component

does not respond, repeat steps 2-6,

trying each code listed for your

brand until you find the one that

operates your auxiliary component.

If it still does not work with the DRC,

try searching for the code (see

Searching For Your Code).

7. Write down the auxiliary compo-

nent type and its code in the spaces

below for future reference.

TYPE: __________________

SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE

If your TV,VCR, Cable Converter or

Auxiliary Component does not respond to

the DRC 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,after trying all of the codes

for your TV, you still cannot get the DRC to

operate your TV, then:

1. Turn on your TV.

2. On the DRC, press and hold TV (at

least 6 seconds) until you see the

programming mode start. Each of

the mode key lights will turn off and

on sequentially,starting with AUX

on through TV, and the sequence

will repeat twice. During this time,

release TV and wait until it’s lit con-

tinuously.

3. Press the (UP) cursor key once to

start the search mode.

NOTE: In the search mode, the DRC will

send IR codes from its library to the

selected component, starting with the

most popular codes first.When the com-

ponent responds to a subsequent key

command (e.g., POWER), the correct

device code will be found.

4. Press POWER once.The TV key will

light on and off, showing that an IR

code has been sent.

5. If your television does not turn off,

press the UP cursor key once again

to call up the next IR code and press

POWER once again.

6. If your television still does not turn

off,repeat step 5 as many times as

needed until your TV turns off.

7. When your television does turn off,a

working code has been found.Press

OK once to save the code and the TV

key will blink three times, confirming

the selection.

8. To search for the codes of your other

components,repeat steps 1 through

7,but substitute the appropriate

device key (i.e.,VCR, CABLE, or

AUX) for the component you are

searching for.

CHECKING THE CODES

If you have set up the DRC using the

Searching For Your Code procedure, you

may need to find out which four-digit code

is operating your equipment.

Perform the following procedure after you

have set up your components to find out

which four-digit code is operating your

equipment.

For example,to find out which code is

operating your TV:

1. Turn on your TV.

2. On the DRC, press and hold TV (at

least 6 seconds) until you see the

mode light sequence start. Each of

the mode key lights will turn off and

on sequentially,starting with AUX

on through TV, and will repeat twice.

During the sequence,release the TV

key and wait until it stays lit continu-

ally.

3. Press 9 - 9 - 0. The TV key will blink

three times.

4. To view the code for the first digit,

press and release 1.Count the num-

ber of TV key blinks (e.g.,3 blinks

= 3) and write down the number in

the leftmost box below.

NOTE: The mode key will not blink if

the code digit is a “0”.

TV

5. Repeat step 4 three more times for

each successive digit by pressing and

releasing 2,3, and then 4.Finish

writing down the code in the boxes

above.

6. To check for the codes of your other

components,repeat steps 1 through

5,only substitute the appropriate

device key (i.e.,VCR, CABLE, or

AUX) for the component you are

checking.Write down the codes in

the boxes below.
