PROGRAMMING DEVICE CONTROL  
The Cogeco Atlas DVR 5-Device Universal Remote Control  
is preprogrammed to operate the Motorola digital cable  
receiver 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:  
NOTE: For TV/VCR Combo control, skip this section and perform  
the instructions on page 12. Also refer to the “Device Table” on  
page 8 to find out which devices can be programmed onto each  
device key.  
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.  
3.  
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.  
Use the Manufacturer’s Codes (starting on  
page 46) to locate 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 (see Searching For Your  
Code on page 13).  
NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER key,  
press the (Play) key.  
5.  
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each device you  
want the remote control to operate. For future  
reference, write down each working device

correctly, the AUX key will blink twice.  
NOTE: If the AUX key did not blink twice after  
entering the code’s last digit, then repeat steps 2  
through 3 and try entering the same code again.  
If you’ve located a TV/VCR setup code that  
works for your TV/VCR Combo and a separate  
TV code is also listed, you’ll need to program  
this code into the remote control to access  
volume control (see Programming Device  
Control on page 10).  
4.  
5.  
Aim the remote control at your TV/VCR  
Combo and press PWR once. The device

RE-ASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS (continued)  
To Re-Assign  
Perform Key Sequence  
AUX as 2nd AUD key: AUX - SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - AUD - AUX  
AUX as 2nd TV key: AUX - SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - TV - AUX  
AUX as 2nd CBL key: AUX - SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - CBL - AUX  
AUX back to AUX:

the AUX key above and then perform the sequence. For  
example, to re-assign an unused AUD key as a second DVD  
key, perform AUD - SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - DVD - AUD.  
When a re-assignment is done, the selected device key  
(e.g., AUD) will blink twice to confirm your choice.At that  
time, you will need to program device control (see  
Programming Device Control on page 10).  
CHANGING VOLUME LOCK  
On this remote control, the volume is unlocked so that  
you have independent control of each programmed  
device’s volume controls. 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).  
Locking Volume Control To A Specific Device  
(Individual Volume Unlock):  
1.  
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.  
2.  
3.

MUTE, will control the device’s volume only in  
its own mode.  
To Unlock 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).  
1.  
On the remote control, press and hold SETUP  
until the last-selected device key blinks twice,  
then release SETUP.
