User’s Guide for the

4-in-1 Cable TV
RemoteControl
If you have a TV with a remote control,
we recommend that you plug its power
cord directly into a wall outlet if avail-
able (your cable installer may select an
alternate setup).
Make sure to set your TV to channel 2, 3,
or 4 as directed by your cable company.
This manual makes reference to "mode
keys." These are the CABLE,TV,VCR,
and AUX keys at the top of the remote
control.
On the remote control, press and hold the appropriate mode key until the four
mode keys flash twice. The mode key will continue to flash.
Enter the three-digit code.
After you press the first digit, the mode key should light and stay on. After you
press the last digit, the mode key should flash three times and turn off.
If the mode key does not flash three times before turning off, the code is
invalid for this device type. Repeat the procedure with another device code.
Point the remote at the device and press POWER. If the device turns on or
off, you have finished programming.
If you have tried all the codes listed for the manufacturer and the device does
not respond, refer to the CodeScan™section later in this manual.
Write the codes below

NOTE
The UF4-200B is already programmed to control General Instrument DCT1000 set-top
terminals. To control another device, look for the list of manufacturers’ three-digit
codes for the device type in the Television Codes, VCR codes sections, or Converter
Codes sections, then perform the following steps. Press and hold CABLE for approximately three seconds until the four mode
keys flash twice. The CABLE key will continue to flash.
Press TV. The CABLE key will flash three times and turn off. You now control the
volume through the TV whenever you change the volume level in Cable mode.

PROGRAMMING
VOLUME CONTROL
You can program your UF4-200B to control the volume through the TV while in any
other mode (the TV must permit remote volume control). For example, you can control
volume through the TV while in Cable mode. In VCR mode, the volume control is always
through the TV. This procedure does not effect the device codes you set previously.
To control the volume through the TV while in Cable mode:
Make sure all devices to be controlled are turned on.
Press any mode key (CABLE,TV,VCR, and AUX) for approximately three
seconds until all four mode keys flash twice. The mode key your press will
continue to flash.
Press POWER twice. The mode key will flash three times and turn off.

sections, or Converter Codes sections and enter the three-digit code for your
TV, VCR or Cable device.
After you press the first digit, the mode key should light and stay on. After you
press the last digit, the mode key should flash three times and turn off.
If the AUX key does not flash three times before turning off, the code is
invalid for this device type. Repeat the procedure with another device code.
Point the remote at the device and press POWER. If the device turns on or
off, you have finished programming. If you have tried all the codes listed for
the manufacturer and the device does not respond, refer to the CodeScan™
