FEATURES

Your RadioShack 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control comes with an RF command console that allows you to send commands to most IR (infrared)-con- trolled devices from any room in your home, up to 100 feet away. You can use it to control your TV, VCR, cable box, and even lights and appliances with Plug ???n Power modules (not supplied).

The 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control is prepro- grammed. All you have to do is tell it which TV, VCR, or other component???s remote controls you want to replace (by entering 3-digit codes), and it is automatically ready to operate most of the same functions as the original remotes.

This manual includes a list of 3-digit manufactur- er???s codes for TVs, VCRs, cable converters, com- pact disc players, satellites, and other popular re- mote-controlled devices.

The 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control???s features in- clude:

IR (Infrared) and RF (Radio-Frequency) Com- mands ??? use the remote control with the sys- tem???s RF command console to control your IR re- mote-controlled devices from up to 100 feet away, even through walls.

Reassignable Device Keys ??? so you can con- trol more than one of the same type of device (two VCRs, for example).

Fast Search ??? when you control more than one of the same type of device, lets you quickly search all programmed manufacturers??? codes for that type of device until you find the code for the specific device you want to use.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

Your RadioShack 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control was designed with the functions used most often to operate TV, VCR, cable converter, CD player, satellite receiver, and audio equipment.

The 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control comes with an RF command console, which receives radio fre- quency signals from the 6 in 1 and converts them into infrared signals to control your devices. The console is set up in the same room as the devices you want to control, but you can take the remote farther away, even into another room.

When you set up the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Con- trol, its command keys work like the keys on your original remote controls. For example, the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control???s PWR key works like a key on your original remote control which might be la- beled POWER ON/OFF.

Notes:

???The remote control???s red light turns on when you press a key, and blinks when you have entered a feature or manufacturer???s code.

???Whenever you use RECORD on the remote control, you must press it twice. This safety feature helps you avoid accidentally record- ing over tapes.

???If you use the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control to replace extremely complex remote controls, the 6 in 1 might not be able to duplicate some of your original remote control???s sel- dom-used functions, but it can duplicate all of the original???s most commonly used func- tions.

SETTING UP THE 6 IN 1???S RF

COMMAND CONSOLE

After you install batteries in the 6 in 1, just plug the RF command console???s power cord into any stan- dard AC outlet in the same room as your IR re- mote-controlled devices (TV, VCR, cable box, and so on) and fully extended its antenna. Be sure the command console is pointed at the de- vices you want to control.

The command console has a 4-foot IR signal ex- tension cord for use with devices that are not in the command console???s line of sight. If you have such a component, plug the extension cord into the back of the command console and use the supplied double-sided tape to attach the exten- sion cord???s LED over or next to the device???s IR sensor.

Note: The 6 in 1 transmits both IR and RF signals at the same time. When testing the command console, be sure the 6 in 1 is not pointed at your devices.

LIGHTING THE KEYS

Press to light the keys on the remote. Now, every time you press a key, the 6 in 1 lights up and stays lit for about 5 seconds.

To turn off the light, press again.

3.Press and release SET UP, then hold down SET UP until the red light blinks twice. This means that your sequence is erased.

PUNCH-THROUGH

Using Punch-Through

The punch-through feature lets you alternately control two different devices without pressing the device selection keys for each one. Here???s how it works.

Not all of the 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control???s keys are used by every device. For example, a TV is often the only device that uses the volume keys. After you press TV, then press VCR, the volume control not used by the VCR retains its TV func- tion.

Note: The punch-through feature does not work if the last two devices you selected have the same (or similar) features. For example, most TVs and some cable converters have PWR keys on their remote controls. In this case, you must press the desired device key before you use the remote control???s PWR key.

Turning Punch-Through On and Off

If your cable converter or VCR has a volume con- trol, you can turn off the punch-through feature to allow the 6 in 1 to control the volume of those de- vices. This allows your cable converter or VCR to control the volume of your TV set (if it can already do so). Once you turn off punch-through, you must press the device key for the device (cable converter or VCR) you want to use to control the volume.

Need help? Call 1-800-950-7044

Follow these steps to turn off punch-through.

1.Press the device key (CBL or VCR) for the device you want to use to control the volume, for example. Then press SET UP until the red light blinks twice.

2.Press 9 ??? 9 ??? 3. The red light blinks twice. Press the device key (CBL or VCR) for the device you want to use to control the volume. The red light blinks twice to indicate punch- through is turned off.

To turn on the punch-through feature, press SET UP ??? 9 ??? 9 ??? 3 ??? TV. The red light blinks twice to indicate that punch-through is on.

USING THE SLEEP TIMER

If your original remote control had a sleep timer function, your 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control???s SLEEP key operates the same as on your original remote.

Follow the instructions for the sleep timer function in the owner???s manual from your original remote control. Press SLEEP in the exact same manner as the original remote control???s SLEEP key was pressed.

CONTROLLING LIGHTS AND

APPLIANCES

The Plug ???n Power feature allows you to control lights and appliances, using the supplied RF com- mand console along with an optional IR com- mand console (RadioShack Unlimited No. 10037703). You also need Plug ???n Power light modules and appliance modules (available through your local RadioShack store) to use this feature.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack 6 in 1 IR/RF Remote Control system is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your system so you can enjoy it for years.

???Keep the 6 in 1 and RF command console dry. If they get wet, wipe them dry immedi- ately. Liquids can contain minerals that cor- rode electronic circuits.

???Use and store the system only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

???Handle the 6 in 1 and RF command console gently and carefully. Dropping them can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the system to work improperly.

???Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

???Wipe the 6 in 1 and RF command console with a damp cloth occa- sionally to keep them looking new. Do not use harsh chemi- cals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean your system.

Modifying or tampering with the system???s internal components can cause a malfunction and invali- date your system???s warranty. If your system is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance.
