Turn Your Set Top Box or TV On or Off
The device selection buttons tell your remote whether you want to control
your set top box or your television.
There are two ways to turn the TV on or off.
1. Press the POWER button to turn on or off the TV when the STB is on.
2. To turn your TV on or off, press the TV button then the POWER button.
To turn your set top box on or off, press the STB button and then the
POWER button.
If pressing POWER turned the wrong device on or off, press the POWER
button again, press the appropriate device selection button (TV, AUX or
STB) and press POWER once more.
Note: It is not necessary to turn your set top box off.
Note: Your remote control must have the remote code programmed
in before it can send the correct signals for your TV. If the list of
TV brand codes was not included in your installation pack, please
contact customer service.
Change Channels
The CH /button will change channels up or down one at a time.
The Number Pad can be used to directly enter a channel number.
GUIDE will display the Interactive Program Guide so you can find a
program you like. If the program is on now, you can tune to the channel
showing it. If not, you can set a scheduled event to remind you when it
does come on. If your set top box supports recording, you can schedule a
recording for the program.
For more information on how to use the Guide, see section 5 Guide.
For more information on setting Reminders, Autotunes and Recordings,
see Setting a Reminder, Autotune or Recording in section
6 Guide - Alerts & Recordings.
