RE-ASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS
The Catal yst 48 can be set up to c on trol a
se cond T V or V C R, or any combin at ion of
eight ho me entertainment c ompo nents.
For ex a mp l e, to have t h e Cat a lys t 4 8 con-
trol a TV , a Cable Con v erter , and two
V CRs, y ou will need to re-assign the
unused
AUX ke y to ope rat e t he se cond
V CR as f ollow s:
1. On the Ca talyst 48, pr ess and hold
SETUP until the LED blinks twice,
then r elease
