INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
Your Home Producer requires four (4) new AAA alkaline batteries. To install the batteries: 1 On the back of the Home Producer, press down on the black battery cover near the indentation where the black and silver sections meet and push/slide the cover off (see illustration).
2
Match the + and marks on the batteries to the + and marks in the battery case, then insert the batteries.
3
Slide the battery cover back into place.
NOTE: After inserting the batteries, the LCD screen will enter a test mode, which tests each segment of the LCD screen. This process will last for 10 seconds or until any key is pressed, which ever occurs first.

USING YOUR HOME PRODUCER
Features and Functions The illustration below and the chart on the next two pages describe the features and the functions of the Home Producer's keypad. The following keys will always have the same function, regardless of which component you are controlling. [. . . ] When your macro sequence is concluded, press ESC to save.
IMPORTANT: For a more detailed explanation of what function each shifted key performs by device type (e. g. , TV, VCR, etc. ), please refer to pages 52 through 64.

HOW TO USE THE SLEEP KEY
The Home Producer has a SLEEP key that either operates your component's sleep timer or, if your component does not have a sleep timer, it activates the Home Producer's built-in sleep timer, after you activate SLEEP LOCK (see below). To use the Home Producer's SLEEP key, press SLEEP (i. e. , SHIFT + MUTE). If your component does not have a sleep timer, the Home Producer will access its own built-in timer. Each press of MENU will add 15 minutes to the sleep timer, up to a total of 60 minutes. Sleep Lock If you would like Home Producer to use its built-in sleep timer on all of your components, you can lock the SLEEP mode, as follows: 1 Press and hold SETUP until the display screen changes from [DEVICE and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ]. x 2 Press the MENU key twice, the display will change to [CONFIGURE]. Press SELECT, the display will change to [DISABLE].
VOLUME LOCK
With the Home Producer, you can choose which home entertainment component controls your volume. When you originally set up the Home Producer, each individual component operates its own volume, provided the component has volume control. You can change this setting so that one component controls the volume, whether Home Producer is in the TV, VCR, or CBL/SAT mode. For example, to set-up the Home Producer to always control the volume through your Amplifier in the TV, VCR, or CBL/SAT mode: 1 Press and hold SETUP until the display screen changes from [DEVICE and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ]. x 2 Press the MENU key twice, the display will change to [CONFIGURE]. Press SELECT, the display will change to [THEATR SEL].

x 2 Press MENU two more times, the display will read [VOL LOCK]. Press SELECT, the display will change to [UNLOCK].

4
Press MENU one time to change the display to [LOCK] then press SELECT. The display will return to [DEVICE and the TIME].
3
Press MENU once to change the display to [ENABLE], then press SELECT. Now, whenever you press SLEEP (i. e. , SHIFT + MUTE), Home Producer will use its own built-in sleep timer.
Now, when you use the volume keys on your Home Producer, the volume will be controlled by the specified component. To return volume control to a component: 1 Press and hold SETUP until the display screen changes from [DEVICE and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ].
(continued on next page)
NOTE: When using the built-in sleep timer, pressing POWER will cancel the sleep function.

To return volume control to a component (cont. ): 2 x 2 Press the MENU key twice, the display will change to [CONFIGURE]. Press SELECT, the display will change to [THEATR SEL].
KEYMOVER
Keymover allows you to map features from one device mode to another. For example, if your VCR does not have volume control, you can map the volume keys in the TV mode to the VCR mode. This will allow you to control the volume of your TV while in the VCR mode. To move key features from one mode to another: 1 Press and hold SETUP until the display screen changes from [DEVICE and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ]. x 2 Press the MENU key twice, the display will change to [CONFIGURE]. [. . . ] The PREV CH (Previous Channel) key operates the same as the RANDOM key on your original CD Player remote control. + The DISPLAY key (SHIFT + PREV CH) operates the display on your CD Player. The MENU key operates the same as the PROGRAM key on your original remote control. The SELECT key operates the DISK SELECT function on your original CD Player remote control. [. . . ]
