2. Set up Remote Control For Your Entertainment System
(TV, VCR etc.) Universal remote controls need to be set up to operate with the entertainment components you wish to control. When you first turn on your Touchscreen Remote Control by pressing any hard button or the LCD touchscreen, the remote control will be in the default or Select Device screen. After that, it will display the last screen you were using. You may always return to the Select Device screen by pressing the (SOURCE) button. To enter the set up mode, press the | PROGRAM] icon located on the bottom left of the LCD screen. This takes you to the first Set Up screen. barr san ban Loft tt LeD Screen after pressing

PROGRAM Enter the desired one, two or three digit device code from the Code List section beginning at page 19 by tapping the desired soft button. The digits will be displayed as they are entered. If you enter an incorrect digit, press [0] until 000 is displayed again and reenter the number. After you have entered the desired code, press | PROGRAM]. You have now programmed the device button. The status line will display, DEVICE SAVED for three seconds, then the remote will automatically switch to the device. Test the device code by pressing the power button, () . If the entertainment device does not respond to the Power button, try the next code in the list for your system's manufacturer. Be sure to test a variety of buttons to ensure they all work. Many devices use similar remote control codes and occasionally some commands will not work properly. If this occurs, try the next code in the list for your system's manufacturer. Repeat steps one through four for each device you wish to program:
TV, VCR, Cable box, etc., up to twelve devices. You are not restricted to using just one TV, VCR etc. A powerful feature of the Touchscreen Remote Control is the ability to program multiple devices of the same type such as two or more TV's, VCR's etc. Sce Substitute Devices (page 13) for details. Touch Screen Remote Users Guide - Page 7 When programming the Touchscreen Remote Control for TV/VCR combination units ("Combo's"), you may need to set up the TV and VCR codes separately. Ifall the functions do not work, first select the appropriate TV code and program the TV selection button, then select the appropriate VCR code and program the VCR button. On most combo units, the power, channel, and tape functions operate when the VCR is selected as the source, and the volume when the TV selected as the source. However, this will vary from unit to unit.
= The codes in the back of this manual are arranged by type of equipment and manufacturer. You may have to try several codes in order to find the correct code. t= For an explanation of other set up options, see page 12. If you enter an invalid device code number the display will read, DEVICE WOT FOUND then return to the program menu. If you cannot find the correct code, refer to Auto Search (page 12) and Learning Remote Control Codes (page13) . SPECIAL FEATURES Memo Recorder With so many talk shows and commercials giving you 800" numbers and web site addresses, trying to memorize the number or fumbling for a pen and paper can be a challenge. The Touch Screen Remotess voice recorder eliminates this challenge by recording a voice memo of up to 9 seconds. To record a voice memo, simply press the button located on the side of the remote. To play back a recorded memo, press the button. Note:
Pressing the button will erase any voice memo previously recorded. Priority Press Priority Press is a new feature that makes using the Touchscreen Remote Control simpler than any other remote control by eliminating the traditional need to push the [Tv], [CBL], [VCR], etc. button every time you want to change what you are doing. Priority Press puts you in complete control. With Priority Press, you decide which entertainment device you wish to use for common functions which you then perform with just one button press. Once you have programmed Priority Press, you may never need to press the source buttons again!
For example, if both your cable box and TV can control volume, you can have the remote control automatically select the TV whenever you press volume up, volume down or mute, and have the remote control automatically select the cable box to change channels whenever you press channel up, channel down, or any numeric key. (With traditional remote controls you would need to remember to push the TV button to change to the TV mode, then change the volume, then press the cable button to switch back to the cable mode to continue changing the channels.) Note: Priority Press affects only the hard buttons. Soft buttons are already specific to the device you are controlling. Priority Press classifies buttons of each common type together. The classifications are: volume-related buttons, channel related buttons, and power-related buttons. Once you assign any button to a device, all the buttons of that type are automatically assigned. For example, if you assign to the cable box, [C-],
, and the numeric keys are then all assigned to the cable box. Similarly, if you assign volume up to the television, and [MUTE | are also assigned to the television. To set up Priority Press:

RF Finder If your Touchscreen Remote Control is misplaced, simply press the finder button on the charger cradle for 4 seconds or more. The remote control will beep, enabling you to locate it, even if it is under a cushion!
The remote control will continue beeping for 100 seconds or until you press any button on the remote control. To turn off this feature, see page 17. Favorite Channel Buttons (Macros) The Touchscreen Remote Control offers a convenient way to quickly go to your favorite channels. You may assign up to 15 favorite channels (or other macros), which are accessed by pressing the button from the Select Device screen. (Remember, this is the screen you enter by pressing the button.) The 15 macros are labeled 0-9 and a-e. Macros may be simple two or three button sequences such as +[0] [6] to select channel six, or complex strings of button sequences as described later. Buttons with borders around them have macros assigned to them; buttons without borders have not been assigned macros. To select a favorite channel or run a macro, press the desired macro button twice

Shift Button The SHIFT button provides a means of doubling the number of available buttons without cluttering the touchscreen. To see if your entertainment device has any additional buttons that may be accessed via SHIFT, press the button. To exit the shift mode, press > again. To maximize your convenience, the Touchscreen Remote Control remembers when you have entered the shift mode for a particular device. That is, if you have entered the shift mode for a particular device, such as a stereo receiver, then switch to another device, such as a TV, the TV will not be in the shifted mode. However, when you return to the receiver, it will still be in the shifted state until you press the SHIFT button again. You may learn new buttons to either normal
(unshifted) or shifted buttons. If the touch-pad has an unshifted function only (shows the same icon whether shifted or not) and you learn it on the unshifted function, it will replace it. Ifyou learn a new code in the shifted state, the original unshifted code will still be available and you will have access to both the original and the learned code depending on the shift state. Remember: you cannot learn two codes on the same button. Attempting to do so will over-
write the first one. Channel Scan Channel Scan gives you hands free channel surfing. Once you have pressed the button, the Touchscreen Remote Control will send out a
(Channel Up) or (Channel Down) command every few seconds until you issue another command or press any button other than or (CH- J. If the icon is not visible for your TV etc., it will usually be visible after pressing SHIFT (see Shift Button, page 11.) The scan will be up if the last channel button you pressed was , or down if the last channel button you pressed was [CH- ]. The normal speed of the scan Touch Screen Remote Users Guide - Page 11
(that is, how long the TV will pause at each station) is four seconds. You can press or during the scan to switch directions.

The Touchscreen Remote Control offers an "Auto Search" mode to help you find the correct code for your entertainment device. When searching for a code using Auto Search you must first select the appropriate device type. The device button will search through TVs and TV/VCR combos. The device button will search through VCRs, TV/VCR combos, and PVRs. The device button will search through cable boxes. The device button will search through satellite/
DSS receivers. The device button will search through DVDs. The device button will search through CDs and tape cassettes. The device button will search through audio devices The device button will search through all remaining codes. Auto Search for Your Device Code:
It is recommended that this feature be used only when all other methods have failed, as it may take from 7 to 18 minutes for the remote to locate the correct code, depending on the device list that you are searching. Note: Auto search will start searching from the currently programmed device code then cycle through all the codes back to that point. you want to auto search (TV, VCR, etc) Press the Source button. Press the button once. ye On | Manually turn on the device that Touch Screen Remote Users Guide - Page 12 Press the device key for the device type for which you are searching. For example, to search for a TV code, press TV once. (The selected icon will blink, then you will be taken to the set up screen). 5 Make sure that the remote is aimed directly at the device you want to control.
[SEARCH] Press the [SEARCH] [SEARCH ] button on the LCD screen. The remote control will now search through the library for the target device code in 2-second intervals. Every 2 seconds the remote will prompt you by flashing the IR icon, and the remote will test the new code by attempting to turn the device power off. The top line of the LCD display will show TU Search xxx where xxx is the device code number as the remote control Auto Searches. (The remote control will skip device code numbers not associated with the particular device type.) When the target device turns off, immediately press PROGRAM | to save the device code in memory. When the target device turns off 7 | [PROGRAM] | press the | PROGRAM] key and the code will be stored in memory. The remote contro! will display Device Saved for three seconds. After you have pressed [PROGRAM], check the other buttons (such as CH+ and VOL-+) to be sure they all work with the target device. If they do not, repeat steps 1 through 6. When the auto search is re-started the search for the target device will begin where it was last stopped. To stop the "Auto Search" press any key except the Auto Search key. Display Device Code The Touchscreen Remote Control can display the codes you selected for TV, VCR, cable box, DVD and DSS receiver, so that you can write them down for future reference. For example, you may wish to record the device code after you have performed a search. You may display the device code for a specific device by pressing [DISPLAY] from the advanced set up screen. Substitute Devices The Touchscreen Remote Control does not limit you to just one of any type of entertainment product. You can program two or more TVs, VCRs, etc. by "substituting devices." Each of the twelve device buttons can be programmed to control any component of your entertainment system. For example, if you would like the remote control to control a second TV, selected by the device button:
1. Press | PROGRAM{ and then | AUX1 |. 2. Enter the desired one, two, or three digit TV device code from the Code List section beginning at page 19 by tapping the desired soft button. The digits will be displayed as they are entered. 3. Press [PROGRAM]. Now the button will control your second TV. This works with all device buttons, so it is possible to program up to twelve of any component, such as twelve TV's, VCR's, etc. The status line will help you keep track of substituted devices. For example, if you have programmed a TV onto the AUX] button, the status line will show AUAL TUS Learning Remote Control Codes When the Touchscreen Remote Control does not have the proper device code for your entertainment device you may "learn" the codes from the existing remote control.
