Five-In-One Remote Control  (150-1908)     Features     Faxback Doc. # 6567

INTRODUCTION

Your Radio Shack Five-in-One Remote Control can replace up to five
standard infrared remote controls.

Unlike some universal remote controls, the 5-in-1 is preprogrammed and
does not have to learn its commands from the original remote controls.
All you have to do is tell the 5-in-1 which remote controls you want it to
replace (by entering 3-digit codes) and the 5-in-1 does the rest.  It's as
simple as A-B-C.

This manual includes a list of 3-digit manufacturer's codes for TVs, VCRs,
cable converters, compact disc players, laser satellites, and other
popular remote-control devices.

After you've entered the 3-digit manufacturer's codes for your original
remotes, the 5-in-1 is automatically ready to operate most of the same
functions as the original remotes.

THE FEATURES OF THE 5-IN-1 ARE:

Replaces Other Remotes - lets you replace up to five remote controls with
one easy-to-use remote control.

Powerful Inferred Beam - in many cases, lets you operate your remote
control devices from a greater distance than the original remote controls.

Convenient Keypad Design - places the control keys in the perfect
positions for ease of operation.

Handy Reference Label - provides a convenient place for you to write down
the manufacturer's codes and the 5-in-1's alternate function keys.

Toll Free Support - Lets you get expert help for your 5-in-1 by calling
1-800-989-5000.


HOW THE 5-in-1 WORKS

Before you begin to use the 5-in-1, it is helpful to understand a little
about how it works - nothing technical - only an idea of what you can
expect from the 5-in-1 and its different groups of keys.

When you set up the 5-in-1, its command keys work like the keys on your
original remote controls, though the labeling might slightly differ.  For
example, a key on your original remote control labeled PWR ON/OFF is
equivalent to the 5-in-1's POWER key.

Notes:  Whenever you use the 5-in-1's RECORD or QTR key, you must press it
        twice.  This safety feature helps prevent you from accidentally
        erasing audio or video tapes.

        When you see references to TRACK + or TRACK - in this manual, you
        must press TRACK followed by the + or - key.

        When you use the 5-in-1 to replace extremely complex remote
        controls, the 5-in-1 might not have all the keys of the original
        remote control.  But, in most cases, the 5-in-1 can duplicate all
        commonly-used commands from the original remote controls.  
        Occasionally, the 5-in-1 will not be able to duplicate some of the
        original remote control's seldom-used functions.

        The PROG key at the bottom of the 5-in-1 is a special key that you
        use when you set up the 5-in-1 to replace your original remote
        controls.

        The TV, VCR, CABLE, and AUX keys are device keys.  You use them
        when you set up the 5-in-1 to replace your original remote
        controls.  You also use the device keys during normal operation to
        tell the 5-in-1 which device you want to control.
