Controlling Other Components In Your System
Exactly what your remotes do when controlling other components will depend on what compo-
nents you have and how the remotes are custom-programmed. If your remotes have not been
set up for your specific system, you’ll find the Master remote already programmed to control
various popular TVs, DVD players, VCRs and more, so that its device-control pages can give you
some idea of how it might be re-programmed to control your system.
Even when the remotes are customized, however, the printed buttons will usually have the
following functions:
•
The buttons surrounding the Master remote’s thumbpad are labeled for use as transport con-
trols for DVD players, VCRs, tape decks, etc., and will ordinarily be used as such, controlling
whichever device’s control pages are active.
•
MENU, if pressed while any of the C1/C2 pages is on the display, will put the C 1 in setup
mode, as described in the chapter on “Adjustments, Menus, and Setup.”
•
CH + and CH – can be programmed to change channels on whatever device or devices you use
for station selection. If, for example, you used both a satellite-dish tuner and a cable tuner,
these buttons could control channel selection for whichever one was currently shown on the
Master remote’s display, and control station selection when the current device was your
FM/AM tuner. You might, however, find it more convenient, if you have only one tunable device,
to program these buttons to tune that device at all times, no matter what device is shown on
the remote’s display.
