This
method allows you to program the remote control WITHOUT using CODES.
Instead, the remote control will actually find the device you are trying
to set by looking through it's code library until it finds the correct
code for your device. You then lock in the correct code as described
below.
The following instructions describe how
to program your remote control using the [CH ] and [CH ] buttons. (these buttons function
as "power" during programming). You may also program your remote
control using other buttons/functions as described in section .
When using this method, there are several points to remember:
The order in which you program
your devices IS NOT important.
While the remote is searching
for the correct setup code, other devices that you are NOT currently
programming may turn on/off. This is nothing to be concerned about. Simply continue
pressing [CH ] until you find the correct code for the device you are
programming. Your other devices will not be affected.
It may take several
minutes for the remote control to find the proper code. During this
time, the remote control will remain lit in a fast rotation pattern:
There may be several codes
that turn your electronic devices ON / OFF (or other functions). Once
you lock in a code, be sure to check all available functions for that
device. For example:
For TV try the [VOL ], [VOL],[MUTE], TV
input (TV/VCR button), etc.
For VCR or DVD, try the PLAY(), REWIND(), FFWD(), etc.
If you have a TV operated by remote
control, it is recommended that you plug it directly into a wall outlet
instead of the cable converter. If the TV is plugged into the converter,
try to set the converter to UNSWITCHED or ALWAYS ON. Refer to your
Passport ECHO/Passport DCT guide for operation.

DVR Issue-
Muted volume
Powering off converter when it
has a recording schedule will cause the DVR to mute when it comes
back on to record. This is done on purpose by the DVR
manufacturer.
Solutions:
You can prevent this next time
by leaving the converter POWERED ON
the next time you have a scheduled recording. You do not
need to turn off the DVR to record (like you would a VCR)
Here is the situation. The converter
volume has been automatically muted. However, when a you turn
up the volume on the remote, the TV volume goes up, and
this doesn't help. You need to turn up the converter
volume. So you will need to change the volume function from
the TV to the converter.
How to change the
volume control from TV to CONVERTER:
Hold OK and CABLE
buttons together until cable button is solid red.
Push VOLUME UP(+)
once.
Push CABLE button
once. Cable light will blink 3 times
Now that the volume function
is assigned to the cable box, you can either hit the mute
button to UNmute the box, or push the volume up button.
It is advised that you then
reassign the volume function to your TV when done viewing the
program, and record any future programs with the converter box
