If you’re in Dauphin, Manitoba, and you ordered an HDTV set-top box from Westman Cable TV, you might have received an Atlas M1055 remote and a Motorola DCT3416-I set top box. If you did, and if your remote isn’t working entirely as expected, try entering the remote code 1376 for remote button CBL. Here are the complete instructions, so you don’t have to trundle through the manual.
- Press CBL, then release.
- Hold SETUP until CBL flashes twice (about 3 seconds).
- Enter 1 3 7 6 and see CBL flash twice. (If it doesn’t, try resetting your remote with the instructions below.)
- Press PWR and see the set-top box turn off. (If it doesn’t, reset the remote.)
- Power on your set-top box and check that the LIST, LIVE and “BACK UP” buttons work. (They didn’t at first, which is why we went through all this.)
Sarah and I spent about 3 hours trying to figure this out. As of the date of this posting, the Motorola DCT3416-I was relatively new, so none of the printed booklets had the right code. The codes 0276, 0476 and 0810 worked to varying degrees, but not as well as 1376 does.
Resetting your remote
To reset your reset, enter 9 8 2 at step 3 above. If CBL flashes 4 times, you’ve reset correctly. Stop after step 3. Now try the above instructions from step 1.
I hope this helps someone out there. I wish someone had written this on a weblog before today.
