Some devices (e.g. certain RCA TVs)
require separate Power On and Power Off
buttons to turn the device on and off. The
equivalent button functions can be found
on your Platinum remote by using the
device Mode and POWER buttons.
Referring to “Searching for Codes” on
page 12, setup a device Mode (e.g. TV)
with the correct code for your device.
Assuming a TV device is the example and
its code is programmed under TV Mode,
to turn your TV on, press and hold the TV
Mode button for more than one second
to transmit the Power On button
command.
To turn the TV off, press and release the
POWER button to transmit the Power Off
button command. This method can be
applied similarly to any device and is
available for all Modes. Note this feature
is not supported by all codes.

This remote allows the 6 VCR transport
buttons (i.e. PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, FF,
REWIND, and REC) to Punch-Through
control from any Mode programmed with
TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last VCR,
DVD or DVR programmed Mode you
used. Normally other types of remotes
only punch-through (from another Mode)
on the 6 VCR buttons to the device
programmed under the VCR Mode
button. This is not much use if you are
using a DVD programmed under a Mode
other than VCR. For example, if you have
2 DVD, VCR or DVR devices programmed
into this remote, the last one you
accessed on the remote will be the one
that has control of the 6 VCR transport
buttons when in any other Mode.

Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/
DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) will require you to
set up two different Mode buttons to
control both parts of the Combo device.
For example, if you have a TV/VCR
Combo, you might need to set up one
code under the TV button to control the
TV part AND a separate code (under any
other Mode button) to control the VCR
part.

Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/
DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) have separate
buttons on the original remote to select
the part of the Combo device to be
controlled. For example, if your Combo
device is a DVD/VCR then its original
remote might have separate DVD and
VCR buttons for selection of the Combo
part you would control. The equivalent
button functions can be found on your
Platinum remote by using the device
Mode and SETUP buttons.
Referring to “Searching for Codes” on
page 12, setup a device Mode (e.g.
VCR) with the correct code for your
Combo device. Assuming the DVD/VCR
Combo device is the example and its
code is programmed under VCR Mode,
press and hold the VCR Mode button for
more than one second to send the VCR
button command. To send the DVD
button command, quickly press and
release the SETUP button followed by
pressing and releasing the VCR Mode
button. This method can be applied
similarly to all Combo devices (e.g. TV/
VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) and is
available for all Modes. Note this feature
is not supported by all codes.
