FAQs
The battery cover is on the back. The lower end of the remote
Not to my knowledge, but there are a few items that you can drape over the arm of a couch or chairs. You just put them in them and its right next time you have them right there
While it is a universal remote I doubt you will be able to control your Panasonic blue ray player. You can definitely program it to control your TV volume and maybe a soundbar volume.
Yes, but the the manual with the remote doesn’t mention the procedure. I found the setting buried deep in Spectrum’s menu using the remote connected with its IR function out of the box: press the Menu button on the remote, then Settings & Support, Support, Remote Control, Pair New Remote, RF Pair Remote.
I can’t find the designation “SR-002-R” anywhere on the remote, but looking at the SR-002-R manual online, the controls are identical. The paper manual for this remote has the designation “URC1160”. FWIW, we’re using this replacement successfully with a Spectrum cable box without DVR, so I can’t vouch for that function.
Yes, that remote is defective and has been since day 1. I got 3 new ones and they were so defective, I ordered one from amazon, and it was defective too. The manufacture should recall them or fix them.
No. Use the old one. There is also a back button on the old one.The other fre
Yes, the keys are illuminated
I’m a new Spectrum customer and I’m pretty sure I have the 201 box. I can confirm it on Monday when I get back home.
Ours is done by using the tv remote for use on the tv closed captioning. For use on spectrum system there is a few ways. Lower corner look for the c/c and click. Or menu until you find c/c and click. You tube has lots of videos to help.
You need the programming guide with the device codes ie. TV DVD AUDIO VIDEO RECEIVER.
It has worked with everything and so reasonably priced!
Not directly. We have our Polk Sound Bar connected to the LG television, and after programming this remote to control the TV, it can also control volume and mute for the sound bar. It’s a little wonky, in that we’ve got to turn the TV power on first, let it finish booting, then turn on the cable box, otherwise the TV gets confused and doesn’t forward sound to the sound bar, and instead tries to use the built-in speakers.
