    Power Control Set Up Options for Multiple Devices

    By default, the POWER key only powers on or places your Set Top Box in Standby mode. If you program the TV mode key then the TV and Set Top Box can both be powered on/off simultaneously.

    • If you press any key other than the mode keys or ENTER, the STB key will give a long red flash and the remote control will return to normal operation. Should the remote control time-out before you complete the procedure you will need to start over.
    • If the devices that you have programmed to turn on/off at the same time get out of sync so that some turn on and others turn off you will need to manually turn off the out of sync devices and then press the POWER key to turn them all back on. It is important to point the remote directly toward the devices for this to work properly.
    • To change the number of devices controlled by the POWER key, you must start at Step 1 and continue until all desired devices have been programmed.
    Volume Control Setup Options for Multiple Devices

    The volume controls will control your Set Top Box (STB) until the TV device mode key is programmed, e.g. if DVD mode is selected then volume controls your STB. If TV mode key is programmed and DVD mode is selected, then volume controls your TV.
