Learning Commands from Other Remote Controllers

The AV receiver’s remote controller can receive and learn commands from other remote controllers. By trans- mitting, for example, the Play command from your CD player’s remote controller, the remote controller can learn it and then transmit the exact same command when its Play [ ] button is pressed in the CD remote mode.

3

Point the remote controllers at

 

 

each other, about 2 to 6 inches

 

(5–15 cm) apart, and then press

 

and hold the button whose com-

 

mand you want to learn until the

 

Remote indicator flashes.

 

If the command is learned successfully,

 

the Remote indicator flashes twice.

You can also use this function to learn individual com- mands after entering a remote control code (page 86).

when you’ve finished.

Notes:

The following buttons cannot learn new commands:

REMOTE MODE, MACRO [1], [2], [3], TV [ ],

TV [INPUT], TV CH [+]/[–], TV VOL []/[ ], Light.

The remote controller can learn approximately 70-90

 

commands, although, this will be reduced by com-

 

mands that use a lot of memory.

and so on are preprogrammed with commands for

controlling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and

DVD players. However, they can learn new com-

mands, and you can restore the preprogrammed com-

mands by resetting the remote controller (see

page 87).

• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat

this procedure.

• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can

be learned.

• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all

learned commands will be lost and will have to be

learned all over again, so don’t discard your other

remote controllers.
