REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

HOW TO PROGRAM ATLAS DVR-PVR 5 DEVICE UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL - PROGRAMMING ROCEDURES - PRE-PROGRAMMED TO OPERATE THE SCIENTIFIC ATLANTA CABLE BOX

HOW TO PROGRAM ATLAS DVR-PVR 5 DEVICE UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL - PROGRAMMING ROCEDURES - Pre-programmed to operate the Scientific Atlanta Cable Box


 PROGRAMMING
     The Atlas DVR/PVR 5-Device Universal Remote Control is preprogrammed to operate the Scientific Atlanta cable box (converter) provided by your cable system, an RCA TV, a Toshiba DVD player, an RCA VCR (as an AUX device), and a Pioneer audio receiver. To control devices other than the default brands, perform the following steps; otherwise skip this section:
If you have another brand of cable converter or a satellite receiver you would like to control, you’ll first need to unlock the cable ID Lock before changing the converter code.
  1. Turn on a device and, if applicable, insert video media, (e.g., cassette or disc).  [NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes and device you wish to program before moving on to step 2.]
  2. On the remote control, press a device key once (i.e.., AUX, DVD, AUD, TV, or CBL); it will blink once.Then press and hold SETUP until the selected mode key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
  3. Use the Manufacturer’s Codes to locate the the type of device and brand name and then enter the first four-digit code for your device. If performed correctly, the selected mode key will blink twice. [NOTE: If the selected mode key emits a long blink, the entry is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 3 and try entering the same code again]
  4. Aim the remote control at the device and press PWR once. The device should turn off.  If it does not, repeat steps 2 through 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not respond, try searching for the code.
  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each device you want the remote control to operate.
CODE SEARCH METHOD
     If your home entertainment device does not respond to the Atlas DVR/PVR 5-Device Universal Remote Control after trying all of the codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code.
For example, to search for a code for your TV:
  1. Turn on your TV.
  2. On the remote control, press TV once; it will blink once.Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
  3. Enter 9 - 9 - 1.The TV key will blink twice.
  4. Aim the remote control at the TV and slowly alternate between pressing PWR and TV.  Stop when the TV turns off. [NOTE: In the search mode, the remote control will send IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.]
  5. Press SETUP once to lock in the code.The TV key will blink twice.
  6. To search for the codes of your other devices, repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitute the appropriate key (e.g., AUX, DVD, AUD, or CBL) for the device you are searching for.
CHECKING THE CODES
     If you have set up the Atlas DVR/PVR 5-Device Universal Remote Control using the Searching For Your Code procedure, you may need to find out which four-digit code is operating your equipment.
For example, to find out which code is operating your TV:
  1. On the remote control, press TV once; it will blink once.Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
  2. Enter 9 - 9 - 0.The TV key will blink twice.
  3. To view the code for the first digit, press 1 once.Wait 3 seconds and count the number of times the TV key blinks (e.g., 3 blinks = 3) and write down the number in the leftmost. [NOTE: If a code digit is “0”, the selected mode key will not blink]
  4. Repeat step 3 three more times for the remaining digits.Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit. Finish writing down the code in the TV Code.
  5. To check for other device codes, repeat steps 1 through 4, but substitute the appropriate key (e.g., AUX, DVD, AUD, or CBL) for the device you are checking. Write down the codes.
CHANGING VOLUME LOCK
     On this remote control, Global Volume Lock is set to TV, so you can control TV volume while in the AUX, DVD, TV or CBL mode. If desired, you can still perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to set its volume control for independent operation.  [NOTE: The audio mode’s volume controls are active regardless of Volume Lock settings. However, if you lock the volume controls to the AUD mode, you will have control of the audio device’s volume in all other modes (i.e., AUX, DVD, TV, and CBL).]

To Unlock Volume Control For A Single Device (Individual Volume Unlock)
  • Assuming Global Volume Lock is active, select a mode on the remote control that you want to unlock (e.g.,CBL) and press it once. Next, press and hold SETUP until the device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
  • Enter 9 - 9 - 3.The last-selected device key will blink twice.
  • Press VOL- once. The last-selected device key will blink four times.
  • Repeat steps 1 through 3 (of this section) for each device you want volume to be unlocked.
  • Now, after you select a device that has volume unlocked (e.g., CBL), pressing VOL+, VOL-, or MUTE, will control the device’s volume only in its own mode.
To Unlock All Volume Control (Global Volume Unlock)
NOTE: Performing these instructions will set independent volume control for all programmed devices.
  • On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the last-selected device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
  • Enter 9 - 9 - 3.The last-selected device key will blink twice.
  • Press VOL+ once. The last-selected device key will blink four times.
To Lock Volume Control To One Mode (Global Volume Lock)
NOTE: The audio mode’s volume controls are active regardless of Volume Lock settings. However, if you lock the volume controls to the AUD mode, you will have control of the audio device’s volume
in all other modes (i.e., AUX, DVD, TV, and CBL).
  • On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the last-selected device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
  • Enter 9 - 9 - 3.The last-selected device key will blink twice
  • Select a mode (e.g., TV) where you want to globally lock the volume controls. The selected device key will blink twice.
  • Now,when you press VOL+, VOL-, or MUTE, the volume of the selected device (e.g., TV) can be controlled regardless of mode.
