To control a combination device
 If you are programming the remote to control a  combination device that has more than one source, 
such as a VCR/DVD unit, you can program the 
combination code into either remote control source. 
You may find it convenient to program the code twice 
– once for the VCR and once for the DVD.
 To find the right device code, first search the  “COMBINATION” listings in the universal remote 
device codes book. If you cannot find a valid code 
there, then search the listings for individual device 
types (TV, CBL, VCR, DVD, etc.).
Using the remote to watch TV 
Note:  In order to control your TV and other audio/video 
devices using the remote control, you must first 
program the remote with a device code for each device.
1. Press  TV On-Off  to turn on your TV and the 
CineMate
® speaker system. The green LED on 
the front of the interface module will light.
2. Press the TV  source button. 
The button will flash to indicate 
that the remote control is in 
TV mode.
3. Use the remote to select a channel and navigate 
menus. See “Using the CineMate
® GS series II 
remote control” on page 21 for a complete 
description of the remote’s buttons. In addition 
to controlling TV functions,  the remote will control 
the basic CineMate speaker functions, such as 
turning on the speaker system, changing the 
volume, and muting or turning off the speaker 
system.
