Welcome to the Ultimate Control Experience
Your new AT8560™AllTouch®Universal Remote Control (remote) is a true universal
remote, functioning as Þve remotes in one. As one example, you can use this remote to
operate your TV, VCR, DVD player, set-top, and receiver.
Important Information About Your Remote
Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your set-top. The Volume and Mute
keys will not work until a TV code is programmed into the remote. You must program the
remote to operate your TV, VCR, etc. See Program the Remote to Control My Devices
to learn how to enter device codes and program your remote.
How Does a Universal Remote Control Work?
You tell the remote which type of device you want to operate using the Þve keys arched
across the top of the remote. These keys, known as mode keys, are labeled CBL, TV,
VCR, DVD, and AUX. Each mode key is associated with a speciÞc device. As an
example, if you want the remote to operate your TV, you simply press the TV key. Other
keys you press on the remote thereafter should operate your TV. Want to switch the
remote to operate a different device? Just press the mode key for the next device you
want to operate. In this guide, you will learn which types of devices you can control and
how to program the remote to control your speciÞc devices.
Note: Some remote keys may not operate in all modes. You can even program your
remote to assign speciÞc functions, such as channel control, to operate one device only.
You will learn more about these advanced functions later in this guide.

3
Where Do I Start?
Before you begin using your remote, complete the following initial setup tasks.
Install the Batteries
The remote requires two AA batteries (alkaline recommended). A diagram in the battery
compartment of the remote indicates proper placement of the batteries. When batteries
are properly installed, the light on the remote blinks each time a key is pressed.
Visit the Quick Reference
Timing is often important when you program advanced features. Therefore, knowing where
certain keys are on the remote gives you an edge in pressing the right key at the right time.
Important Information About Power Control
ScientiÞc Atlanta strongly recommends that you turn off your set-top every time you
turn off your TV. To make this easier, you can program your remote to turn both devices
on or off at the same time. After you program the remote to control your four favorite
entertainment devices, see Change Power Control to learn more about programming
your remote to control power for the TV and set-top at the same time.
Find a Place to Store Your Remote
Keeping up with one remote is much easier than keeping up with Þve remotes. However,
it is still a good idea to Þnd a storage location for your remote. The AT8560 is not a toy. It
should be kept out of the reach of children under the age of 6 years.

What Devices Can I Control?
The mode keys arched across the top of the remote tell the remote which device you
want to operate.
Each mode key is associated with different groups of devices.
You can use each mode key to control one of its associated devices:
Mode Key Associated Devices
CBL .........set-tops, HDTV tuners, and satellite devices
TV............TVs and HDTVs
VCR.........VCRs, digital video recorders (DVRs), DVD players, and CD players
DVD.........DVD players, CD players, VCRs, and DVRs
AUX.........receivers, tuners, and Home Theatre in a Box (HTIB)
Regarding Non-Responsive Modes
The AT8560 is pre-programmed with the TV, VCR, and AUX keys set to an inactive
(non-responsive) mode. After you program these keys on the remote control, you can
return them to the non-responsive mode by using the speciÞc non-responsive mode
code found in the Code Tables, later in this guide.
What Devices Do I Want to Control?
To help you keep track of the devices you want to control, list the type of devices you
have (including brand) in the following table. Then use the code tables at the end of this
guide to locate the codes for your device. For example, look under TV Group if you need
to program the remote to operate your TV. If you have two devices that use the same
key, you must reassign the VCR, DVD, or the AUX key. The TV and CBL keys cannot
be reassigned. Go to Reassign Mode Keys. Otherwise, go to Program the Remote to
Control My Devices for additional instructions.
T11208

7
Reassign Mode Keys
With the AT8560, you can reassign a mode key to operate a different device. For example, you
can reassign the AUX key to operate a receiver, a tuner, or a Home Theatre in a Box system.
You can reassign the AUX key, the VCR key, or the DVD key. However, the TV key and
the CBL key cannot be reassigned. If you reassign a key, be sure you update the table
found in the previous section.
Reassigning Mode Keys (Program Code 9 9 2)
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press992. The CBL mode key blinks twice.
3. Press the mode key associated with the type of device you want to control, and then
press the mode key that you want to change. All mode keys blink three times.
Some Common Examples
• To program the AUX key to operate your VCR, press VCR and then AUX.
• To program the VCR key to operate your TV, press TV and then VCR.
4. When Þnished, go to Program the Remote to Control My Devices.

8
Program the Remote to Control My Devices
Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your set-top. The Volume and Mute
keys will not work until a TV code is programmed into the remote. If the remote provides
only limited functionality for a device, you can look for a code that provides more
functionality. Before you begin, make sure you know the brand name of the device you want
to control.
Note: Some remote keys may be assigned to operate one device type only. For example,
volume control may be assigned to the TV only. If this is the case, you can reprogram
power, volume, and channel control using procedures later in this guide.
Assigning a Different Device Code to a Mode Key
1. Find the codes for your brand of device in the appropriate setup code list at the end of
this guide. For example, look under TV Group if you need to program the remote to
operate your TV.
2. Turn on your device.
3. Press and hold SELECT and the appropriate mode key until all of the mode keys
blink twice. For example, to set up the TV, press and hold SELECT and TV.
Note: If you reassigned mode keys, you may, for example, press SELECT and VCR
to program the VCR mode key with a TV code.
4. Enter the Þrst setup code for the device. All mode keys blink three times to indicate
that the code entry was accepted.
5. Point the remote at the device, and press POWER, PLAY , or to test the
device.
6. Did the device operate correctly?
• If yes, write down the code that worked on the cover of this guide.
You may need it again if the device code is accidentally erased.
• If no, repeat these steps using a different setup code.
Note: If none of the codes listed for your brand of device operate the device correctly,
go to What If None of the Codes Work for instructions.
7. Repeat this procedure for each mode key you want to program.

9
What If None of the Codes Work?
If none of the codes listed for your brand of device operate the device correctly, you can
search through the code library for a valid code.
Improving Your Reaction Time
When you search the code library, you need to be ready to press SELECT as soon as the
remote turns off your device. Therefore, make sure you are familiar with the location of
the SELECT key before you begin this procedure.
Sizing Up the Libraries
The mode keys blink twice when the remote reaches the last code in a library. You
do not need to count codes. However, knowing the size of each library will help you
determine how long it will take to cycle through all of the codes in the library. Each
library contains the following number of codes:
• CBL mode: 45 • TV mode: 352 • DVD mode: 229
• VCR mode: 122 • SAT mode: 53 • AUDIO mode: 133
• CD mode: 26
Searching the Code Library (Program Code 9 9 1)
1. Turn on the device.
2. Press and hold SELECT and the appropriate mode key (CBL,TV,VCR,DVD, or
AUX) until the mode keys blink twice. For example, to search for a TV code, press
and hold SELECT and TV at the same time.
Note: If you reassigned mode keys, you may, for example, press SELECT and VCR
to search for a TV code to assign to the VCR mode key.
3. Press991. The mode key you selected in step 2 blinks twice.
4. Point the remote toward the device, and press PLAY . The remote
automatically tests each code in its library, beginning with the most common codes.
The mode key blinks once each time the remote transmits a new code. All mode keys
blink three times when it reaches the last code.
5. As soon as the device powers off, press SELECT.
6. Verify the new code is correct by pressing POWER.
7. Did the device power on again?
• If yes, press SELECT to assign the code.
• If no, complete the following steps:
a) Turn the device on.
b) Press or to step forward or back to the correct code.
c) When the device turns off, press SELECT to assign the code.
8. Go to Which Code Worked to identify the code that controls your device. After you
identify the code, record the code in the space provided on the cover of this guide.

10
Which Code Worked?
Find out which code programmed the mode key to control your device.
Finding the Code That Worked (Program Code 9 9 0)
1. Press and hold SELECT and the appropriate mode key (CBL,TV,VCR,DVD, or
AUX) until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 990. The mode key you selected in step 1 blinks twice.
3. Press 1 and then count the number of times the mode key blinks. The number of
blinks indicates the Þrst digit in the code. For example, 4 blinks indicates the Þrst
digit in the code is 4. If the mode key does not blink, the digit is 0.
4. Press 2 and then count the number of times the mode key blinks. This number
indicates the second number in the code.
5. Press 3 and then count the number of times the mode key blinks. This number
indicates the third number in the code.
6. Press 4 and then count the number of times the mode key blinks. This number
indicates the fourth number in the code.
Note: After all four numbers in the code are identiÞed, all mode keys blink three
times.
7. Record the code in the space provided on the cover of this guide. You may need it
again if the device code is accidentally erased.

11
Change Power Control
Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:
• The remote controls power for only one device at a time. For example, in CBL mode
the POWER key controls the set-top only. However, in TV mode, the POWER key
controls the TV only.
• The remote controls power for either one device or for multiple devices at once, based
on the selected mode. For example, in CBL mode, the POWER key controls both the
set-top and the TV at the same time.
Before you change how the power control functions, try your remote to see how the
power control currently works. When trying out your remote, keep in mind that the
remote provides a temporary override for power control. For example, if you press the
TV key and then the POWER key within 3 seconds, the remote turns on the TV only,
regardless of the programmed power settings. To see how the remote was originally
programmed, wait at least 5 seconds before pressing the POWER key after you press any
mode key.
Does your remote already control power for your set-top and TV at the same time?
If not, ScientiÞc Atlanta strongly recommends that you program the remote to turn off
the set-top each time you turn off your TV. Turning off the set-top is especially important
for high-end set-tops that contain hard drives for recording and storing
TV programs and movies. Not only will you reduce wear and tear from the hard disk
spinning constantly, but you’ll also conserve electricity. As long as the set-top remains
plugged in, the set-top will receive programming updates, and, if applicable, record
programs and movies.
Controlling Power for Multiple Devices at Once (Program Code 9 9 8)
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 998. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press the mode key for the Þrst device in the group of devices you want to power on
and off at once. The CBL key blinks twice.
4. Press the mode key for the second device in your power group. The CBL key blinks
twice.
5. If you want the remote to control power for 3 or 4 devices at once, press the mode
keys for the next devices you want to add to the power group. The CBL key blinks
twice after each mode key is pressed.
6. Press SELECT to save your power settings. All mode keys blink three times.

12
Want An Example?
If you want to control power for the TV and the set-top at the same time, you would do
the following:
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 998. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press TV. The CBL key blinks twice.
4. Press CBL. The CBL key blinks twice.
5. Press SELECT. All mode keys blink three times.
In this example, the remote will function in the following ways:
• When you are in TV mode or CBL mode, the POWER key controls both the set-top
and the TV.
• When you are in VCR mode, the POWER key controls the VCR device only.
• When you are in AUX mode, the POWER key controls the auxiliary device only.
Controlling Power for One Device at a Time (Program Code 9 9 8)
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 998. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press SELECT to save your power settings. All mode keys blink three times.
After you select a mode, the POWER key controls the device assigned to that mode.
For example, in TV mode, the remote controls power for the TV only.
Important Power Tips
• ScientiÞc Atlanta strongly recommends that you program the remote to turn off the
set-top each time you turn off your TV.
• When you turn off the set-top using the remote control, you are actually putting the
set-top into a power saving mode. As long as the set-top remains plugged in, it will
continue to receive programming updates and, if applicable, record programs and
movies.
• If your POWER key controls multiple devices at once, the remote returns to the CBL
mode after the devices are powered on or off.
• If your POWER key controls multiple devices at once, you can override this setting
by pressing the desired mode key and then pressing POWER within 3 seconds. For
example, if you press the VCR key and then the POWER key within 3 seconds, the
remote turns just the VCR on or off, regardless of the programmed power settings.

13
Change Volume Control
Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:
• The remote controls volume for one device, such as your TV, whether the remote is
in TV, VCR, DVD, or CBL mode. The AUX mode always retains separate volume
control.
• The remote controls volume for different devices, depending on the mode key you
press. For example, in CBL mode, the volume keys control the set-top. However, in
TV mode, the volume keys control the TV.
Try your remote to see how the volume control currently works. The volume keys
include , and MUTE. If you want to change the volume control, complete the
procedure that Þts your needs.
Controlling Volume for One Device (Program Code 9 9 3)
Note: If you want to assign volume control to a ScientiÞc Atlanta set-top, complete
the following prerequisite steps. Press SETTINGS to access the General Settings
on-screen menu. Then, verify that the Audio: Volume Control setting is set to Variable.
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 993. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press the mode key for the device the volume keys should control. For example, if
you want to control volume through your TV, press TV. All mode keys blink three
times.
Notes:
• The volume keys control only one device whether you are in CBL, TV, DVD, or VCR
mode.
• In AUX mode, the remote always controls volume for the device assigned to the AUX
key.
Controlling Volume for Different Devices (Program Code 9 9 3)
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 993. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press SELECT. All mode keys blink three times.
Result: After you press SELECT, the volume keys control the device assigned to that
mode. For example, in TV mode, the volume keys control volume for the TV only.

14
Change Channel Control
Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:
• The remote controls channels for a single device, such as the set-top, whether the
remote is in CBL, VCR, DVD, or TV mode. The AUX mode always retains separate
channel control.
• The remote controls channels for different devices, depending on the mode key you
press.
Try your remote to see how the channel control currently works. The channel keys
include , , Digits 0-9,LAST, and FAV. If you want to change the channel
control, complete the procedure that Þts your needs.
Tip: Consider programming the remote to control channels for just the set-top to ensure
you do not accidentally tune off the proper channel for the TV (usually channel
3 or 4).
Controlling Channels For One Device (Program Code 9 9 7)
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 997. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press the mode key associated with the device you want the channel keys to control.
For example, if you want to assign channel control to your TV only, press TV. All
mode keys blink three times.
Notes:
• The channel keys now always control the device associated with the mode you
selected in this step, whether in TV, CBL, DVD, or VCR mode.
• In AUX mode, the remote always controls channels for the device assigned to the
AUX key.
Controlling Channels For Different Devices (Program Code 9 9 7)
1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 997. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press SELECT. All mode keys blink three times.
Result: After you press SELECT, the channel keys now control the device associated
with the mode key you select. For example, in TV mode, the channel keys control the
TV, but in CBL mode, the channel keys control the set-top.

15
Change VCR/VOD Programming
Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:
• The Rewind, Play, Fast Forward, Stop, Pause, and Record keys (the transport keys)
are programmed, by default, to transmit the codes for the Explorer®8000™series
Home Entertainment Server video-on-demand (VOD) or digital video recorder (DVR)
functions when in Cable (CBL) mode.
• The transport keys control different devices, depending on the mode key you press.
You can choose to override the default settings for the transport keys so that the
transport keys operate a different device when you have selected CBL mode.
Try your remote to see how the transport keys currently work. If you want to change the
settings for the transport keys, complete the procedure that Þts your needs.
Changing VCR/VOD Programming (Program Code 9 9 9)
1. Press and hold CBL and SELECT until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 999. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press the mode key (VCR or DVD) associated with the device you want the transport
keys to now control. All mode keys blink three times.
Results:
• The transport keys now always control the device associated with the mode you
selected in this procedure (DVD or VCR).
• Pressing PLAY starts the VCR, the DVD, or the device that has been
reassigned to AUX.
• In AUX mode, the remote always controls channels for the device assigned to the
AUX key.
Restoring Default VCR/VOD Settings (Program Code 9 9 9)
1. Press and hold CBL and SELECT until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 999. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press CBL. All mode keys blink three times.
Result: The transport keys are restored to their default settings.
Example: Pressing PLAY in CBL mode starts the DVR.

16
Put It Back the Way I Got It
Return speciÞc advanced functions or all advanced functions back to their original
settings. Choose the procedure that Þts your needs.
Important: Your service provider may have programmed the dual power control feature
for your convenience. Therefore, if you reset the power control, you may need
to program the remote to control the power for the set-top and TV at the same time.
Resetting Mode Keys (Program Code 9 9 2)
You can reprogram the VCR key and the AUX key to operate in their original modes.
1. Press and hold CBL and SELECT until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 992. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Do one of the following:

2. Press 981. All mode keys blink three times. Then, after a few seconds the CBL key
blinks twice.

17
Change On Demand Programming
The OnDemand key on the remote allows you to select various On Demand control
sequences. By default, the OnDemand key sends On Demand requests in CBL mode only.
However, you can also program the OnDemand key on the remote to send out an additional
three- or four-digit number key sequence in order to select a speciÞc channel on your set-
top. The On Demand control function is only programmable in CBL mode and it can be
programmed to support all of the set-tops listed in this guide.
Programming an On Demand Channel (Program Code 9 9 6)
1. Press and hold CBL and SELECT until all mode keys blink twice.
2. Press 9 9 6. The CBL key blinks twice.
3. Press the number keys you want to program in the correct sequential order as follows
pausing between pressing each key:
• 1st Number Key
• 2nd Number Key
• 3rd Number Key
• 4th Number Key
Important! Each key is conÞrmed with two blinks of the key that you press. Wait until
the key blinks twice before pressing the next key.
Example 1: To program channel “1024” into the remote, complete steps 1 and 2 of the
preceding procedure and then carefully press 1 0 2 4 waiting until each key blinks
twice before pressing the next key. Then go to step 4 of this procedure.
Example 2: To program channel “100” into the remote, complete steps 1 and 2 of the
preceding procedure and then carefully press 1 0 0 waiting until each key blinks twice
before pressing the next key. Then go to step 4 of this procedure.
