Welcome to the Ultimate Control Experience!
Your new AT6420
 AllTouch
®
 Universal Remote Control (remote) is a true universal
remote, functioning as four remotes in one. As one example, you can use this remote to
operate your TV, DVD player, set-top box, and receiver.
Important Information About Your Remote
Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your set-top box. The Volume and
Mute keys will not work until a TV code is programmed into the remote. You must
program the remote to operate your TV, VCR, etc. See Program the Remote to
Control My Devices
 to learn how to enter device codes and program your remote.
How Does A Universal Remote Control Work?
You tell the remote which type of device you want to operate using the five keys arched
across the top of the remote. These keys, known as mode keys, are labeled iTVTV,
DVD, and AUX. Each mode key is associated with a specific device. As an example, if
you want the remote to operate your TV, you simply press the TV key. Other keys you
press on the remote thereafter should operate your TV. Want to switch the remote to
operate a different device? Just press the mode key for the next device you want to
operate. In this guide, you will learn which types of devices you can control and how to
program the remote to control your specific devices.
Note: Some remote keys may not operate in all modes. You can even program your
remote to assign specific functions, such as channel control, to operate one device only.
You will learn more about these advanced functions later in this guide.
Where Do I Start?
Before you begin using your remote, complete the following initial setup tasks.
Install the Batteries
The remote requires two AA batteries (alkaline recommended). A diagram in the battery
compartment of the remote indicates proper placement of the batteries. When batteries
are properly installed, the light on the remote blinks each time a key is pressed.
Visit the Quick Reference
Timing is often important when you program advanced features. Therefore, knowing
where certain keys are on the remote gives you an edge in pressing the right key at the
right time.
Important Information About Power Control
Scientific-Atlanta strongly recommends that you turn off your set-top box every time
you turn off your TV. To make this easier, you can program your remote to turn both
devices on or off at the same time. After you program the remote to control your four
favorite entertainment devices, see Change Power Control to learn more about
programming your remote to control power for the TV and cable box at the same time.
Find a Place to Store Your Remote
Keeping up with one remote is much easier than keeping up with five remotes. However,
it is still a good idea to find a storage location for your remote. The AT6420 is not a toy.
It should be kept out of the reach of children under the age of 6 years.
