Introduction
1. Evolve GUIDE Remote*
The Evolve GUIDE Remote* (GUIDE Remote*) is more than a universal remote
control—it is the ultimate interactive device for TV and Internet users. The
GUIDE Remote has state-of-the-art features that provide you and your family
with hand-held, instantaneous access to weekly TV Listings, games, viewer
rewards and valuable discounts. It allows you to request information about your
favorite programs while you watch TV, and then interact with your requested
information on your computer (PC) using the Internet.
The screen on your GUIDE Remote is always on, providing instant access to the
TV program listings, Interactivity Offers and special Promo Offers.
Please use this manual to become familiar with your remote. The GUIDE Remote
can control up to 16 devices, including TVs, VCRs, Cable settop boxes, Satellite
receivers, CD players, stereo receivers, digital tape players, phonographs and
home automation systems. In fact, the GUIDE Remote has built-in control codes
for nearly every make and model of infrared (IR) controlled device.
