mode buttons light up.

you press the button.

operates it.

TV.

Extended Remote Address (17–31)
To program a remote control to operate in
the extended range (17 to 31), complete the

address mode.

number from 17 to 31), then subtract 16
from that address. Enter the result.

entered correctly, the SAT mode button
flashes three times.
7. Press RECORD. Make sure the extended
remote address you see on the System
Information screen is the same as what you
wanted in step 5 (17 to 31). If it isn’t, the
