Change Power Control
Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:
•
The remote controls power for only one device at a time. For example, in iTV mode
the POWER key controls the set-top box only. However, in TV mode, the POWER
key controls the TV only.
the POWER key controls the set-top box only. However, in TV mode, the POWER
key controls the TV only.
•
The remote controls power for either one device or for multiple devices at once,
based on the selected mode. For example, in set-top mode, the POWER key controls
both the set-top box and the TV at the same time.
based on the selected mode. For example, in set-top mode, the POWER key controls
both the set-top box and the TV at the same time.
Before you change how the power control functions, try your remote to see how the
power control currently works. When trying out your remote, keep in mind that the
remote provides a temporary override for power control. For example, if you press the
TV key and then the POWER key within 3 seconds, the remote turns on the TV only,
regardless of the programmed power settings. To see how the remote was originally
programmed, wait at least 5 seconds before pressing the POWER key after you press
any mode key.

Does your remote already control power for your set-top box and TV at the same time?
If not, we strongly recommend that you program the remote to turn off
the set-top box each time you turn off your TV. Turning off the set-top box is especially
important for high-end set-top boxes that contain hard drives for recording and storing
TV programs and movies. Not only will you reduce wear and tear from the hard disk
spinning constantly, but you’ll also conserve electricity. As long as the set-top box
remains plugged in, the set-top box will receive programming updates, and, if
applicable, record programs and movies.
