• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the
procedures described under “Setting the Component Codes”. If the
code that’s listed first for your component doesn’t work, try all the
codes for your component — in the order in which they’re listed. If
all the codes fail to work (or if your component is not listed), try
using the procedures under “Setting by Searching for the Correct
Code”.
• Check that you’re aiming the Commander directly at the
component, and that there are no obstructions between the
Commander and the component.

• Check that the slide switch of the Remote Commander is set to the
position (TV, VCR, SAT or AUX) for your desired component.
• If you cannot preset a component to the AUX or SAT position of
the slide switch, a component type different from that of the
component you intend to preset may be assigned to that position.
In such a case, follow the procedure in “Setting Another TV, VCR,
or Satellite Tuner” first.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For
example, if your component didn’t come with a remote control, it
probably isn’t capable of being controlled by the Remote
Commander.
