Where Do I Start?
Before you begin using your remote, complete the
following initial setup tasks.
Install the Batteries
The remote requires two AA batteries (alkaline
recommended). A diagram in the battery compartment
of the remote indicates proper placement of the

pressed.
About HomeID
The set-top is equipped with an RF receiver.
Programming the HomeID in the remote is necessary
when RF is used to transmit signals to the set-top

Change Channel Control
The remote is set by default to control channel
selection on the set-top. You can also program
channel control to control any of the TV, DVD, or AUX
mode devices provided the device allows for channel
control assignment. Or, you can set the channel
selection control programming to control channels (or
page up or down) for all of the devices programmed
in the four mode keys. Otherwise, you can only
control channels (or page up or down) on a specific
device, for example, the TV or DVD.
Note: The channel control keys include CH/Page,
Jump, and the numeric keys 0 through 9.
Controlling Channels for One Device

3. Release both keys and all mode keys blink twice.
4. Enter the programming code 9 6 6 by pressing the

5. Press and release the mode key for the device you
want the channel key to control. For example, if you
want to control channels on your TV, press and
release TV. The selected mode key blinks three
times to indicate a successful entry.
The channel key now always controls the device
associated with the mode you selected in this
procedure, whether in STB, TV, DVD, or AUX mode.
Controlling Channels for Different
Devices (Program Code 966)
1. Complete steps 1 through 4 of the Controlling
Channels for One Device procedure.
2. Press and release the Enter key. The STB mode
key blinks three times to indicate a successful
entry.
After you press the Enter key, the channel key now
controls the device associated with the mode key you
select. For example, in TV mode, the channel key
controls the TV, but in STB mode, the channel key
controls the set-top.
Notes:
• If any other key is pressed except the Mode keys
and the ENTER key, the remote does not accept
any changes or updates. The STB mode key
displays a long red flash and the remote returns to
normal operation.
• If the remote times out before you complete
programming channel selection control, the remote
does not accept any changes. You must start over
from step 1 of this procedure.
Change Power Control
The POWER key on the remote is set by default to
control the power switch on one device at a time, in
either mode (STB, TV, DVD, or AUX). When in STB
mode, the remote switches the set-top from OFF
(standby mode) to ON, or from ON to OFF (standby
mode). However, you can alternatively program the
POWER key to control the power switch on up to four
devices at the same time, instead of controlling one
device at a time. It is highly recommended that you
set up the POWER key to turn on and off your set-top
and your TV at the same time. Turning off the set-top
saves electricity and extends the life of the box. When
turned off, the set-top can still record scheduled
programs on its DVR and perform any other
necessary functions.
