15-1991.fm Page 2 Wednesday, October 20, 1999 10:37 AM FEATURES Your RadioShack 4-in-One Remote control can replace up to four infrared remote controls. You can use it to control your TV, VCR, TV/ VCR combination, cable converter, CD player and more. Unlike some universal remote controls, the 4in-One Remote is preprogrammed with the most commonly used commands, so it does not have to learn its commands from the original remote controls.

15-1991.fm Page 4 Wednesday, October 20, 1999 10:37 AM INTRODUCTION Your RadioShack 4-in-One Remote was designed to control the most commonly used functions on your TV, VCR, TV/VCR combination, cable converter, and CD player. It might not be able to duplicate some of your original remote control's seldom-used functions. When you set up the remote control, its command keys work like the keys on your original remote controls.
15-1991.fm Page 5 Wednesday, October 20, 1999 10:37 AM PREPARATION INSTALLING BATTERIES Your remote control requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. • Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries. • Do not press any of the remote control's keys while installing batteries.
15-1991.fm Page 6 Wednesday, October 20, 1999 10:37 AM Note: Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you have installed the batteries. This can press keys for an extended period of time and reduce the battery life. DEVICE TYPES You can use the remote control's device keys to control the following types of devices: TV — TVs VCR — VCRs and TV/VCR combinations CBL — Cable converters, satellite systems AUX — CD Players, Home Automation SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE CONTROL 1.

PUNCH-THROUGH The punch-through feature lets you alternately control two different devices without pressing the device keys for each one. A TV is often the only device that uses the volume keys. Punch-through allows you to control the TV’s volume while the 4-in-One is in any device mode.

15-1991.fm Page 12 Wednesday, October 20, 1999 10:37 AM If necessary, repeat these steps for each device. Note: Some VCRs and CD players do not have a POWER key on the original remote. If so, manually turn on the VCR, insert a tape or CD, and repeat the manual code search using PLAY instead of POWER. When the device responds, press P. The red light blinks twice.
15-1991.fm Page 13 Wednesday, October 20, 1999 10:37 AM TROUBLESHOOTING If the remote control stops working after you have successfully tested the control for each device, or if you are unable to get the remote control to work at all: • Be sure you press the device key for the device you want to control before you press any other key. • Confirm that your remote-controlled devices are working properly by using the original remote control or the manual controls. • Replace the batteries.
