PROGRAMMING DEVICE CONTROL
The Atlas DVR/PVR 5-Device Universal Remote Control
is preprogrammed to operate the Scientific Atlanta cable
box (converter) provided by your cable system,an RCA
TV, a Toshiba DVD player, an RCA VCR (as an AUX
device), and a Pioneer audio receiver. To control devices
other than the default brands, perform the following steps;
otherwise skip this section:
NOTES: For TV/VCR Combo control, skip this section and perform
the instructions on page 12. Also refer to the “Device Table” on
page 8 to find out which devices can be programmed onto each
device key.
If you have another brand of cable converter or a satellite receiver
you would like to control, you’ll first need to unlock the cable ID
Lock before changing the converter code – see “Programming ID
Lock” on page 16.
1. Turn on a device and, if applicable,insert
video media, (e.g., cassette or disc).
NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely
before proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes
and device you wish to program before moving on to
step 2.
2. On the remote control, press a device key once
(i.e.., AUX,DVD,AUD,TV,orCBL); it will blink
once. Then press and hold SETUP until the
selected mode key blinks twice, then release
SETUP.
3. Use the Manufacturer’s Codes (starting on
page 24) to locate the the type of device and
brand name and then enter the first four-digit
code for your device. If performed correctly,
the selected mode key will blink twice.
NOTE: If the selected mode key emits a long blink,
the entry is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 3 and try
entering the same code again.
4. Aim the remote control at the device and
press PWR once. The device should turn off.
If it does not, repeat steps 2 through 3, trying
each code for your brand until you find one
that works.If it still does not respond, try
searching for the code (see Searching For Your
Code on page 13).
NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER key,
press the (
Play ) key.

correctly, the AUX key will blink twice.
NOTE: If the AUX key did not blink twice after
entering the code’s last digit, then repeat steps 2
through 3 and try entering the same code again.
If you’ve located a TV/VCR setup code that
works for your TV/VCR Combo and a separate
TV code is also listed, you’ll need to program
this code into the remote control to access
volume control (see Programming Device
Control on page 10).
4. Aim the remote control at your TV/VCR
Combo and press PWR once. The device
should turn off.If it does not respond,repeat
steps 2 through 3, trying each code listed for
your brand until you find one that works.
If it still does not respond, try searching for
the code (see Searching For Your Code on the
page 13).
5. For future reference,write down each working
device code in the boxes below:
TV/VCR Code
TV Code
(if used)

device, starting with the most popular code first.
6. Press SETUP once to lock in the code. The TV
key will blink twice.
7. To search for the codes of your other devices,
repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitute the
appropriate key (e.g., AUX, DVD, AUD, or CBL)
for the device you are searching for.

RE-ASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS (continued)
To Re-Assign Perform Key Sequence
AUX as 2nd AUD key: AUX - SETUP - 9- 9- 2- AUD - AUX
AUX as 2nd TV key: AUX - SETUP - 9- 9- 2- TV - AUX
AUX as 2nd CBL key: AUX - SETUP - 9- 9- 2- CBL - AUX
AUX back to AUX:AUX - SETUP - 9- 9- 2- AUX - AUX
To re-assign another unused device key, substitute it for
the AUX key above and then perform the sequence. For
example, to re-assign an unused AUD key as a second DVD
key, perform AUD - SETUP - 9- 9- 2- DVD - AUD.
When a re-assignment is done, the selected device key
(e.g., AUD) will blink twice to confirm your choice.At that
time, you will need to program device control (see
Programming Device Control on page 10).
CHANGING VOLUME LOCK
On this remote control, Global Volume Lock is set to TV, so
you can control TV volume while in the AUX,DVD,TV or
CBL mode. If desired, you can still perform Individual
Volu m e Un lo ck on a selected device to set its volume con-
trol for independent operation.
NOTE: The audio mode’s volume controls are active regardless of
Volume Lock settings. However, if you lock the volume controls to
the
AUD mode, you will have control of the audio device’s volume
in all other modes (i.e.,
AUX , DVD , TV ,and CBL ).
To Unlock Volume Control For A Single Device
(Individual Volume Unlock):
1. Assuming Global Volume Lock is active, select
a mode on the remote control that you want to
unlock (e.g.,CBL) and press it once. Next,
press and hold SETUP until the device key
blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2. Enter 9- 9- 3.The last-selected device key
will blink twice.
3. Press VOL- once. The last-selected device key
will blink four times.
