You only need to set up your InteracTV controller one time per DVD player. Your InteracTV controller can be set up to be played with up to three different DVD players. There is a 3-position memory switch on the underside of your InteracTV controller. Each position of the switch can be programmed to a different DVD player. Refer to your InteracTV User's Manual for instructions on how to use the 3-position memory switch.

No. The setup of your controller is required only one time for each DVD player with which you are using your InteracTV controller. If you have correctly setup your controller with the software that was included with your InteracTV controller, the controller should work with the separately sold software titles.

How do I determine the version electronically?
- Insert programming card
- press 0010
- after pressing last 0 watch indicator light
- count the number of blinks
- that is the major version number (2 blinks would be 2.??)
- if no blinks it is version 1.0
- remove programming card and reinsert
- press 0011
- after pressing last 1 watch indicator light
- count the number of blinks
- that is the minor version number
- no blinks is zero
Example: 0010 is pressed and it blinks twice. 0011 is pressed and it blinks twice. The version is 2.2

If you are stuck in an activity after repeated attempts to remove and insert an activity card, please place the activity card back into the InteracTV controller and wait for the next activity to appear on the screen. When the next activity appears on the screen, remove the card from your InteracTV controller. The menu screen should now appear on the screen. If the menu screen does not appear on your screen you need to restart the InteracTV DVD. Press stop on your DVD player and then press play to restart the DVD.

If your DVD player is not responding to your InteracTV controller please try the following:
- Make sure you have set up your InteracTV controller correctly.
- Try moving your InteracTV controller closer to the TV.
- Replace the batteries on your InteracTV controller.
- Make sure your InteracTV controller is pointed directly at your DVD player.
- Always be sure your hand and the activity card are not covering the red window on the front of the InteracTV controller when removing and inserting an activity card.
- Make sure there are no large objects between your InteracTV controller and your DVD player. Large objects can block the signal between your controller and DVD player.
- When changing activity cards, always make sure you remove the activity card from your InteracTV controller slowly, wait a few seconds, and then insert another activity card.
- Double check that the 3-position memory switch on the underside of your InteracTV controller is in the proper position. Refer to your InteracTV User's Manual for instructions on how touse the 3-position memory switch.

Here are some tips that may help you during the quick setup:
- Make sure you are using fresh alkaline batteries inside your InteracTV controller.
- If you have followed the instructions on the quick setup sheet and your InteracTV controller is still not working with your DVD player, try the setup sheet again from the beginning. It is possible that one of the numbers did not register when you entered in your DVD code.
- When pressing the numbers on the programming card, make sure your press each number firmly and slowly. The green light on your controller should blink one time after each number is pressed. When the fourth digit is pressed, make sure the green light on your InteracTV controller blinks one long blink. If you do NOT see this long blink, remove the programming card, re-insert it into the controller and try the same code again.

Unfortunately, there is no way to tell which code was accepted. You may have to reprogram using the manual method the next time you need to change a code.

Try each of the codes listed under "ALL MODELS" for your DVD player's manufacturer until you find one that can work properly for all shapes on the test screen and both the skip ahead and skip back on the Read With Me™ controller.

The cards were switched while the unit was pointed away from the DVD player. Simply pull the card out and reinsert it while pointing the controller at the DVD player.

Each DVD player will respond differently to your InteracTV controller. Some players will take longer to access the DVD then other players do. For the best results, please make sure that you press the button one time and then wait a few seconds for a reaction from your DVD player. If you do not get a reaction from your DVD player after a few seconds, try pressing the button again. Also, make sure you are pressing the buttons firmly.

There are several things you can try:
- Always make sure you remove the activity card from your InteracTV controller slowly, wait a few seconds, and then insert an activity card.
- The red window on the front of your InteracTV controller should always be pointed directly at your DVD player.
- Always be sure your hand and the activity card are not covering the red window on the front of the InteracTV controller when you are removing and inserting the activity card. Covering up this red window can block the signal between your InteracTV controller and your DVD player.
- Make sure there are no large objects between your InteracTV controller and your DVD player because they can block the signal between your controller and DVD player.

It controls the DVD player using infrared commands, just like any universal remote.
|
Signs that you may need a macro -
- When testing with the test card, the consumer is getting no functionality
with the any buttons. A character macro maybe needed.
- The controller is shipped with several default macros. Certain DVD
players require an enter command be sent after the numeric commands (arrow keys
do not require enter), others require that all commands be sent multiple times
(repeated).
- The macros are programmed after the manufacture code has been programmed.
- There are two sets of macros. One set controls the number of times a
command is sent.
- The other sends additional characters with the number commands.
Additional characters:
- 0001 – Will send only the numeric command (1-9)
- 0002 – Will send the numeric command (1-9), then enter (default)
- 0003 – Will send zero then the numeric command (1-9)
- 0004 – Will send zero then the numeric command (1-9) then enter.
Number of times command is sent
- 0005 – Will send the IR command one time
- 0006 – Will send the IR command 2 times (default)
- 0007 – Will send the IR command 3 times
- If no macro is entered the controller will use the default macros. In most
cases the default macro will function fine and does not need to be changed.
- The additional character macro is specific to the 3 pos. memory
switch. Every time a new manufacture code is programmed the Additional
character macro will reset to the default code.
- The additional character macro only affects the number 1-9 it does not
affect the arrow buttons
- The number of times command is sent macro is assigned to all positions of
the memory switch and will not reset to default even if a new manufacturers code
is entered. The consumer must reprogram it to change it.
- When programming a macro each button pressed will flash the green indicator
light once. When the final digit is pressed and the macro is programmed
the green indicator light will flash twice (just like when inserting a card).
- After any of these commands are entered into the controller, the controller
will stop responding to button presses until the card is removed and
re-inserted.
- Version 1.0 remotes do not support macros and will not display the double
blink after the 4th button is pressed.
