- [Narrator] Your CineMate System
comes with a universal remote control
that can control many TVs,
cable boxes, DVD players
and other devices.
It's a great way to reduce
remote control clutter.
The system also has a special feature
that eliminates having
to program the remote
for certain HDMI-connected devices.
It's called Consumer
Electronics Control or CEC
though some brands
refer to it differently.
By any name, it will make
setting up your system
that much easier if your
source is supported.
Sometimes it has to be enabled first
so check your source's Owner's
Guide for this information.
The best way to find out
if a source supports CEC
is to try controlling it with your remote.
Let's start with your TV.
First make sure both your
CineMate System and TV are off.
Now, point your remote at
the CineMate System and TV
and press the source button labeled TV.
If your TV turns on, great!
No need to program the remote.
Some older devices may not support CEC.
For these sources you will
have to manually program
the remote to work with them.
Here's how.
We'll use a cable box in this example.
First you'll need the universal
remote device code book
that came with your CineMate System.
Find the code for your cable box brand.
You may wanna circle it for reference.
Then using it's own
remote or power button,
turn on the cable box.
Now press and hold the
Cable-sAT source button
on the universal remote until
six source buttons glow.
Then release.
Only the Cable-SAT button should stay lit.
Now, enter the code using
the universal remote's
number key pad.
If all six buttons blink three times,
you've entered an invalid code.
Check the number and repeat the procedure.
Once you've entered a working code,
press the Volume-Up button.
Then test the source for basic functions.
For instance, press the Guide button.
The program guide should appear on screen.
Now press the Back and
Forward Arrows to navigate.
If your source responds
to these basic functions,
press Exit to save your
settings and you're done!
If your source still doesn't respond,
you'll have to scan for a working code.
Press the Volume-Up button.
The remote automatically
cycles to another code
for your brand of device.
Then press a Function button
to see if the new code works.
Keep doing this until you find success.
If all six buttons blink three times,
this means you've cycled
through all the codes
for your source and none has worked.
At this point you should
refer to the Owner's Guide
for your cable box or other device.
Then in no time you can
put your other remotes away
and enjoy the show.
