Note

This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reason-

able protection against harmful interference in

a residential installation. This equipment

generates, uses, and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may

cause harmful interference to radio communi-

cation. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning

the equipment off and on, the user is encour-

aged to try to correct the interference by one or

more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the

equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

Any changes or modifications not expressly

approved by Scientific-Atlanta could void the

user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Your new AT8400 AllTouch

Remote

Control ("remote") functions as four

remote controls in one to operate your

TV, VCR, cable set-top device (CBL),

and an additional device (AUX), such

as a stereo receiver or an amplifier.

In addition, the remote provides

advanced features such as Personal

Video Recorder (PVR) controls for

certain cable set-top devices and the

Picture-In-Picture (PIP) feature.

Note: If you have questions or

concerns about the operation of this

remote, contact your cable service

provider.

Batteries

The remote requires two alkaline AA

batteries. A diagram inside the battery

compartment of the remote indicates

proper placement of the batteries.

Mode Keys and Setup Codes

Q: What are mode keys?

A: The mode keys switch the remote

To Search for Codes

If none of the codes listed for your device work,

you can search through the code library for a valid

code. The remote automatically selects the proper

code.

1. Turn on the device.

2. Press and hold the SELECT key and the

appropriate mode key (AUX, VCR, TV, or

CBL) until the mode keys blink twice. For

example, to search for a TV code, press and

hold SELECT and TV.

3. Using the remote control keypad, press 9 9 1.

The mode keys blink twice.

Note:Be careful not to press these keys too

quickly. As you press each digit, the mode

key should blink.

4. Point the remote toward the device, and press

The remote automatically tests each code in

its library, beginning with the most common

codes. The mode key blinks once each time

the remote transmits a new code.

Note: Each of the code libraries contains

fewer than 100 codes. The mode key blinks

twice when it reaches the last code in the

library.

5. As soon as the device powers down, press

the SELECT key.

6. Verify that the new code is correct by

pressing the Power key.

7. Did the device power on again?

• If no, go back and repeat step 4.

• If yes, press SELECT to lock the code.

To Identify Programmed Codes

You can find out which code you used to program

your device by following this procedure.

1. Press and hold the SELECT key and the

appropriate mode key (AUX, VCR, TV, or

CBL) until the mode keys blink twice.

2. Using the remote control keypad, press 9 9 0.

The mode keys blink twice.

Note:Be careful not to press these keys too

quickly. As you press each digit, the mode

key should blink.

3. Press 1; then, count the number of times the

mode key blinks. That number indicates the

first digit in the code. For example, 4 blinks

indicates the first digit in the code is 4. If the

mode key does not blink, the digit is 0.

The mode keys are programmed with most of

the popular brands of electronic devices.

Therefore, before you perform these

procedures, you should test each mode key to

see if it is already programmed.

To test the mode key, turn on your device,

press the mode key for that device, and then

press POWER on the remote control to verify

that the power to the device turns off.

To Set Up a Mode Key

Follow these steps to set up a mode key:

1. Find the code(s) for your brand of device

in one of the setup code lists in this guide.

2. Turn on your device.

3. Press and hold the SELECT key and the

appropriate mode key for that device until

all the mode keys blink twice. For

example, to set up the VCR key, press

and hold SELECT and VCR.

4. Enter the setup code for the device. The

mode keys blink twice to indicate that the

code was accepted.

Notes:

• The setup codes for each mode key

appear on both the front and the back

of this guide.

• As you press each digit in the setup

code, the mode key should blink. If the

mode key does not blink, the remote

did not accept the digit. Enter that digit

again.

5. Point the remote control toward the

device and press POWER,

, or

CH+ to test the device.

6. Did the device operate correctly?

• If yes, go to step 7.

• If no, repeat steps 3 through 5 using a

different setup code.

Note: If all of the codes listed for your

brand of device fail to operate your device

properly, go to the To Search for Codes

section of this guide for instructions.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each mode

key you want to set up.

8. Write your codes here for future reference:

TV: VCR:

AUX: CBL:

4. Press 2; then, count the number of

blinks. That number indicates the second

digit in the code.

5. Press 3; then, count the number of

blinks. That number indicates the third

digit in the code.

6. Press 4; then, count the number of

blinks. That number indicates the fourth

digit in the code.

7. Write your codes for future reference in

the space provided in this guide.

To Program for Volume Control

You can program the remote to control the

volume and mute functions through any of

the devices that it controls. The default is to

control volume through your TV.

menu on-screen, and make sure that the

Audio: Volume Control setting is set to

“Variable.”

1. Turn on the device.

2. Press and hold the SELECT key and the

CBL key until the mode keys blink

twice.

3. Using the remote control keypad, press

9 9 3. The mode keys blink twice.

Note:Do not press these keys too

quickly. As you press each digit, the

mode key should blink.

4. Press the mode key for the device you

want to control the volume.

5. Point the remote toward the device and

adjust the volume to confirm that the

Volume and Mute keys function as

expected.
