Owner's Manual 15-1995. fm Page 2 Thursday, March 2, 2000 7:40 AM INTRODUCTION Your RadioShack 7-in-One IR/RF Remote Control can replace up to seven infrared remote controls. You can use it to control your TV, VCR, cable converter, satellite receiver, CD player, tuner, phonograph, video accessory, digital audio tape, cassette, laser disc player, or DVD player. Unlike some universal remote controls, this remote control is preprogrammed with the most commonly used commands and does not have to learn its commands from the original remote controls. All you have to do is tell it which device's remote controls you want to replace (by entering 4-digit codes). [. . . ] Call 1-800-763-9232 28 15-1995. fm Page 29 Thursday, March 2, 2000 7:40 AM CONVERTING DEVICE KEYS You can use the 7-in-One to operate a second TV or VCR, or any combination of up to six devices. To do this, you must first convert an unused device key (AMP, TUNER, TV, CD, CBL, VCR, or SAT) to operate the second device. Program the converted device key (CBL) with the code for the second TV. (See "To Operate Your TV" on Page 14. ) Repeat these steps for each key you want to convert. PUNCH-THROUGH The 7-in-One lets you choose one device to control the sound volume for all the devices the 7-in-One operates. When you first set up the 7-in-One, each device with volume control operates its own volume. You can change this so that one device controls the volume no matter which device the 7-in-One is operating.

Press SELECT then the key for the device that you want to control the sound volume (AMP, TUNER, TV, CD, CBL, VCR, or SAT), then press SELECT. For example, to control the volume through your receiver, press TUNER then SELECT. When you press the volume keys on your 7-in-One, your receiver controls the volume.

Each device now controls its own volume when you use the volume keys on your 7-in-One. USING THE MACRO KEYS The 7-in-One has two dedicated macro keys, AUDIO and VIDEO. Each lets you play back a series of up to 15 keystrokes at any time with a single keypress, in any mode. You can also program almost any other key on the 7in-One as a macro key. Note: When you program a key as a macro key, its original function no longer operates. You can set up a maximum of 36 macros, 15 timed sequences (see "Setting Up Timed Sequences" on Page 32), or a combination of both. For example, follow these steps to set up a macro on VIDEO that turns on your TV, VCR, and satellite system so you can record a program.
