  23. How To Use The SHIFT button
  24. There are in fact two shift buttons on the Producer remotes. The "official" shift button is labelled SHIFT, and the "un-official" shift button is the SETUP key.

    The official shift buton is used to access the second pre-programmed function of buttons. For example, there is no DISPLAY button on these remotes, the DISPLAY function is now the shifted function of the PREV CH (or LAST) button. To use these features, just TAP the SHIFT button and release it, then hit the button with the function you want to use. You will notice that when you TAP the SHIFT button, a boxed [S] appears on the screen to let you know that you are in the 'shifted' mode. The remote will remain in shift mode until you tap the SHIFT key again. Shifted functions cannot be moved using the 'Key Mover' function, and you cannot program advanced codes onto shifted keys.

    There are no pre-loaded functions that are accessible using the un-official shift key, but you can program advanced codes, and perform key moves, on to keys shifted using the un-official shift key. You simply press the SETUP key before pressing the button that you are moving the function to. The remote only stays in shift mode while the one following button is pressed, you will need to tap the SETUP key before pressing each button that has a shifted function.

    NOTE: it is possible to program commands to shifted versions of the numeric keys using the un-official shift key, but in order to use them you will have to hit the SETUP button twice, or the remote will assume that you are about to enter an advanced code.

    Also, it is possible to program a function onto a button that already has a second function pre-programmed. For instance, you could program the advanced code for your VCR's TIMER onto the PREV CH button, which would mean that the button now has three functions on it. In this case, press PREV CH and it will bring up the previous channel, press SHIFT and PREV CH and it will work the display function, press SETUP and PREV CH and it will work the TIMER function.

    The following keys have functions that are 'shifted':

    CENTER REAR
    MENU PROGRAM
    SELECT CLEAR
    MUTE SLEEP
    PREV CH DISPLAY
    PAUSE X2
    PIP FREEZE PIP
    PLAY SLOW
    REW SLOW DOWN (-)
    FF SLOW UP (+)
    STOP EJECT

  25. Home Theater Mode
  26. The Home Theater button is not a regular device button (ie, you can't program a device code to it), you use the HT button to control multiple devices at once. You decide which functions you need from each of your devices. You can change certain functions depending on which devices you wish to use. The idea is that you can change the settings depending on what you are about to do. For example, you might always have the Audio mode set to control your amplifier, but you might change the PlayBack mode to either go to your VCR or your DVD player, depending on which one you are using.

    Here are the buttons controlled by each mode....

    ModeButtons
    Audio Vol+, vol-, mute
    Channel Ch+, ch-, number pad, TV/SAT, Prev Ch
    Play Back Play, stop, rewind, fast forward, pause, record
    PIP PIP,swap,move,freeze
    Menu Menu, select, arrow keys

    Here's the instructions...

    1. HOLD DOWN the SETUP button until the screen reads 'TIMED SEQ'.
    2. TAP the DOWN ARROW button twice. The screen will read 'CONFIGURE'.
    3. TAP the SELECT button once. The screen will read 'THEATR SEL'.
    4. TAP the SELECT button once.
    5. Scroll to the mode of your choice (ie, Audio, Channel, Playback, PIP or Menu).
    6. TAP the SELECT button once, the screen will display a device (TV, VCR, etc.).
    7. Choose the device button you wish to control this mode.
    8. Repeat for the remaining modes.

    NOTE: At any point you can press escape (ESC) to return to the main display.

  29. Setting Up Favorite Channel Scan
  30. Favorite channel scan lets you set up your remote to scan through up to 10 preselected channels, stopping at each for about 3 seconds.

    NOTE: Favorite channel scan can only be set up for one device. Once favor- ite channel scan is set up for a device, you must clear it before you can use channel scan for any other device.

    1. Press the device key for the device you want to scan (TV, CBL, SAT).
    2. HOLD DOWN the SETUP button until the screen reads 'TIMED SEQ'.
    3. TAP the DOWN ARROW button twice, the screen will read 'CONFIGURE'.
    4. TAP the SELECT button, the screen will read 'THEATR SEL'.
    5. TAP the DOWN ARROW button until the screen reads 'FAVCH SCAN'.
    6. TAP the SELECT button, the screen will read 'CH'.
    7. Enter the first channel number you want to include in your favorite channel list, then press SETUP.

      Notes:

      • Precede a single-digit number with a 0. For example, 01 02, and so on.
      • If you enter a three-digit number, you do not need to press SETUP after entering the number.
      • If you use an ENTER key to directly access channels on your original remote, press ENTER after you enter the last digit of a channel number.
    8. Repeat Step 7 for up to nine other channels you want to include in your list.
    9. Press ESCAPE to end programming.
    10. To scan through your favorite channel list, press the appropriate device key, point the remote at your device, then press SCAN. The remote control repeatedly scans through the favorite channel list, stopping on each channel for about 3 seconds.
    11. Press any key when you see a channel you want to watch. Scanning stops.

    Note: If you do not program a favorite channel list, SCAN acts as a "channel surf" key. Each time you press SCAN, the 7-in-One repeatedly performs cycles through the channels, stopping on each for about 3 seconds.

     Back to Table of Contents

  33. Assigning Advanced Codes
  34. This feature allows you to duplicate functions from your original remote by programming the advanced code for that function onto a key on the remote. Sometimes advanced codes exist for functions that were not on the original remote, including discrete codes for 'Power On' and 'Power Off' that are especially useful when creating macro's to turn all of your equipment on or off.

    To test an advanced code before you program it to a button, simply press SETUP followed by the 3 digit code and the remote should issue the function.

    If you wish to use more than one function on a single button, you will need to use the "un-official" shift button (ie, the SETUP button) rather than the actual SHIFT button.

  52. Operating Your RF/IR 'Command Center'
  53. This remote comes with an RF/IR Command Center which receives Radio Frequency (RF) signals from the remote and converts them into Infrared (IR) signals to allow you to operate your equipment at a greater distance within your home.

    To set up the Command Center:

    1. Find a location approximately 8 feet in front of your infra red components.
      The location should have access to both your equipment (line-of-sight) and an outlet to plug in your Command Center.
    2. Plug in the Command Center's power cord and raise the telescoping antenna.
    3. Position the Command Center so the black IR lens is aimed at your components.
    4. Test the Command Center by pressing the POWER button on the Home Producer 8. Your components should operate from another room in your home.

    NOTE:The Home Producer 8 transmits both an IR and an RF signal simultaneously. If you are in the same room as your equipment, unplug the Command Center so your equipment is not receiving two signals (from the remote and the box) which would make for erratic operation.

    IR Transmitter Cord

    The 'Command Center' also includes an additional IR signal transmitter cord for use with a component that cannot be in line-of-site with the 'Command Center'.

    1. Plug the 4ft. IR signal transmitter cord into the back of the 'Command Center'.
    2. Run the IR signal transmitter cord to the component that is not in line-of-site of the 'Command Center'.
    3. Using the double-sided tape, attach the IR signal transmitter so that the LED is over, or next to the IR sensor of your component.
    4. Test the 'Home Producer 8' remote . The Command Center will convert the RF signal from the 'Home Producer 8' into an IR signal and transmit that signal to your component through the IR signal transmitter cord.

    Adjustments You Can Make To Increase The Range Of The Remote

    1. Angle the antenna toward the room the room from which the Producer 8 signal is being sent.
    2. Do not position the 'Command Center' with metal between it and the Home Producer 8 remote (such as heat/AC ducts).
    3. Be sure to aim the Producer 8 toward the room where the 'Command Center' is located.
    4. Make sure the batteries inside the Producer 8 are new alkaline batteries (not rechargeable).
    5. Make sure the range of the Producer 8 is not being affected by radio frequency transmissions or high voltage electrical current.

    The 'Up to 100 feet' noted on the packaging is a factory tested distance in an environment void of wall, metal, or radio frequency interference. It was 100 ft. line-of-site.

  54. Fixing Worn Out Buttons:
  55. If a button stops working due to over use, it is possible to fix it. There is a product that you can get from most auto part stores made by Loctite called "Quick Grid Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit". It is a conductive fluid usually used to fix rear window defrosters in cars. To fix your remote, open up the casing and paint the fluid on the base of the buttons that are not working effectively, et it dry, and it should work again, good as new!
