Change Power Control - Cisco AT8560 User Manual

Change Power Control

Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:
• The remote controls power for only one device at a time. For example, in
CBL mode the POWER key controls the set-top only. However, in TV mode,
the POWER key controls the TV only.
• The remote controls power for either one device or for multiple devices at
once, based on the selected mode. For example, in CBL mode, the POWER
key controls both the set-top and the TV at the same time.
Before you change how the power control functions, try your remote to see how
the power control currently works. When trying out your remote, keep in mind
that the remote provides a temporary override for power control. For example,
if you press the TV key and then the POWER key within 3 seconds, the remote
turns on the TV only, regardless of the programmed power settings. To see how
the remote was originally programmed, wait at least 5 seconds before pressing
the POWER key after you press any mode key.
Does your remote already control power for your set-top and TV at the same
time? If not, we strongly recommend that you program the remote to turn off
the set-top each time you turn off your TV. Turning off the set-top is especially
important for high-end set-tops that contain hard drives for recording and
storing TV programs and movies. Not only will you reduce wear and tear from
the hard disk spinning constantly, but you'll also conserve electricity. As long as
the set-top remains plugged in, the set-top will receive programming updates,
and, if applicable, record programs and movies.
Controlling Power for Multiple Devices at Once (Program
Code 9 9 8)
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 9 9 8. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press the mode key for the fi rst device in the group of devices you want to
power on and off at once. The CBL key blinks twice.
4. Press the mode key for the second device in your power group. The CBL key
blinks twice.
5. If you want the remote to control power for 3 or 4 devices at once, press the
mode keys for the next devices you want to add to the power group. The
CBL key blinks twice after each mode key is pressed.
6. Press SELECT to save your power settings. All mode keys blink three times.
