cords into the wall outlet. · Turn off the TV/DVD and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables. · Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed separately. Protect Components from Overheating · Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. · Don't stack components. · If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation. · If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won't flow around other components. Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference · Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack. · If you place components above the TV/DVD, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV/DVD instead of straight down the middle of the TV/DVD. · If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables. Important Stand and Base Safety Information Choose the location for your TV/DVD carefully. Place the TV/DVD on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV/DVD from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV/DVD. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed separately. Use Indirect Light Don't place the TV/DVD where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect lighting. Types of Discs Your TV/DVD will Play · DVD discs - DVD discs contain high quality picture and sound content. · Audio discs - Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. This player is also capable of playing CDs that contain JPEG files. · Video CD discs ­ Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc, and the quality of the video. · mp3 discs ­ A disc that contains audio files (for example, a CD-R with downloaded mp3 files).

When the indicator stops flashing (after about 5 seconds), press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes. Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light on the remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all the codes for that particular component have been tested once. If the component does not turn off, then the remote can't be programmed to operate that component. Note: Each time you press PLAY, the remote sends about 10 sets of codes. Therefore, you might have to press the PLAY button up to 20 times. If the component you want to operate does turn off: 1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON. 2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off. Using Direct Entry 1. Turn on the component to be programmed. 2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section. 3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote. 4. Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn't programmable. 5. Release the component button. 6. Point the remote at the component. Press ON·OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn't, try pressing the component button and then ON·OFF again. · If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands. · If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn't find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component. Chapter 2 Graphics contained within this publication are for representation only. 11 Using the Remote Control How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It Because this universal remote can operate several different components it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to operate the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could operate the TV. 1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR) to set the remote to operate the component. 2. Press ON·OFF to turn the component ON or OFF. 3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component. Note: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)

If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message This channel has not been approved for viewing. Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate the Parental Control. Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated, and programs that are considered unrated.
