• Learned keys are mode-specific, so each one can
store a unique function for each mode.
• Do not use the following keys for learning: Device
Keys, SETUP, Record (•), Tune-In Keys.
• Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25 keys,
depending on the code being learned.
• Certain device functions are not learnable including
multi-frequency types, some high frequency ones,
and other unusual formats.
• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient
light such as natural sunlight or energy-efficient
fluorescent lights.
NOTE: Please have your original remote controls
handy before programming learning.
Programming a Learned Key

PROGRAMMING CHANNEL CONTROL LOCK
By default, the remote control’s channel-control
capabilities are locked to the set-top box. The affected
keys* are 1 through 0, CH+, CH-, ENTER, and LAST. This
guarantees that you do not inadvertently change a
channel on your TV or VCR. However, you can de-
activate this feature to allow full access to these keys in
the TV and VCR modes.
*NOTE: This feature does not affect the AUD mode.
Unlocking Channel Control
Now the remote control provides TV and VCR channel-
control capabilities while in the TV or VCR mode.
Locking Channel Control to MTS
Now, regardless of what mode you select (except AUD),
the channel keys only change channels on your set-top
box.
CHANGING VOLUME LOCK

TV, so you can control TV volume while in the AUX, DVD,
TV or MTS mode. You can perform Individual Volume
Unlock on a selected device to set its volume control for
independent operation.
NOTE: The audio mode’s (AUD) volume controls are
active regardless of Volume Lock settings.
However, if you lock the volume controls to
the AUD mode, you will have control of the
audio device’s volume in all other modes (i.e.,
AUX, DVD, TV, and MTS). This can be an advan-
tage if, for example, you always listen to home
entertainment devices through your receiver’s
speakers.
Unlocking Volume Control for a Single Device
(Individual Volume Unlock)
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each device you
want volume to be unlocked.
Now, after you select a device that has volume unlocked
(e.g., MTS), pressing VOL+, VOL-, or MUTE, controls only
that device’s volume.
Unlocking All Volume Control (Global Volume Unlock)
NOTE: Performing these instructions sets indepen-
dent volume control for all programmed
devices.

![](/img.php?id=752259&img=bg11.png)
17
Locking Volume Control To One Mode (Global
Volume Lock)
NOTE: The audio mode’s volume controls are active
regardless of Volume Lock settings. However,
if you lock the volume controls to the AUD
mode, you control the audio device’s volume
in all other modes (i.e., AUX, DVD, TV, or
MTS). This can be an advantage if, for exam-
ple, you always listen to home entertainment
devices through your receiver’s speakers.
Now, when you press VOL+, VOL-,or MUTE, the volume of
the selected device (e.g., TV) is controlled regardless of
mode.
USING THE MASTER POWER KEY
The Atlas DVR/PVR IR/UHF Remote has a unique
feature that allows you to sequentially turn up to five of
your home entertainment devices on or off with a single
key press.

NOTE: Only one device can be assigned to an unused
device key at a time.
To re-assign another unused device key, substitute it for
the AUX key above and then perform the sequence. For
example, to re-assign an unused AUD key as a second
DVD key, perform
AUDÆSETUPÆ9Æ9Æ2ÆDVDÆAUD.
When a re-assignment is done, the selected device key
(e.g., AUD) blinks twice to confirm your choice. At that

at the factory to 0, which controls the MTS Set-top Box
using IR. To change the ID code, perform the following
steps:
USING YOUR REMOTE’S RF FUNCTIONALITY
In order to use the RF functionality of the Atlas DVR/
PVR Remote, it must have a gateway ID set the same as
the gateway ID on the Set-top Box to be controlled. To

Checking the Set-top Box’s Gateway ID
To check the set-top box’s gateway ID, perform the
following steps:
NOTE: If the remote’s gateway ID and the set-top
box’s ID are not identical, the remote does not
operate the set-top box while in RF mode
