PROGRAMMING
YOUR HITACHI
REMOTE CONTROL
Use Your Remote Control to
Tame Other A/V Devices
You can use the remote control that came with your Hitachi-brand
DSS receiver to control other components in your entertainment
system. Here's how...
Some of the devices that you can control with your remote control include TVs, VCRs, and cable
boxes. Some receiver models come with a remote control that can also control audio devices such
as amplifiers, and disc players such as CDs and video discs.
Programming the Remote
Control
There are two different ways to program your remote control to match the devices you want to
control: code scan, or code entry. Code scan can take some lime, but it avoids having to dig out
this manual whenever you want to program your remote control. Code entry saves some time;
however, you will need to look up the possible codes that are assigned to the manufacturer of the
device you want to control
Code Scan
Keep your remote control aimed at the device you want to control during this process. The
remote control will send out the "power" command for DSS, TV, cable (CBL), and audio
components (AMP). The "Play" command will be sent for disc players (DISC), and VCRs.
While holding down the device key that you are programming, press the power key, and
simultaneously release both keys. The light assodated with the device you are programming
should be flashing rapidly. If it isn't, repeat the process.
Now that you are in programming mode, enter _ to enter the scan mode. You can
now press the _0 key to try the next code, sending out either the power or play command. This
could take some time since there are could be as many as 120 codes associated with each type of
device. When your device responds to your tapping the _0, you have found the code! If you
inadvertently go past a code that responded, or realized that you may not have been aiming the
remote at the device, you can use the _0 key to step backward through the code.
In order to lock in the code, either press the device key again or simply walt 10 seconds. You will
see the lights on the remote light in a circle to indicate that the code was accepted. The remote
will remember the code until your reprogram it.
