Onkyo TX-SA706 instruction manual 111, Learning Commands

Controlling Other Components—Continued

Learning Commands

The AV receiver/AV amplifier’s remote controller can learn the commands of other remote controllers. By transmitting, 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 [1] button is pressed in the CD remote mode.

This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate remote control code (page 102) but some buttons don’t work as expected.

1	While holding down the REMOTE
	MODE button for the mode in
	which you want to use the com-
	mand, press and hold down the
	[ON/STANDBY] button until the
	REMOTE MODE button lights up
	(about 3 seconds).

(3 seconds)

2	On the supplied remote control-
	ler, press the button you want to
	learn the new command.
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 MODE button flashes.

If the command is learned successfully, the REMOTE MODE button flashes twice.

Notes:

•The following buttons cannot learn new commands: REMOTE MODE, MACRO [1], [2].

•The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90 commands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot of memory are learned.

•Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause, 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 at any time by resetting the remote controller (see page 103).

•To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this procedure.

•Depending on the remote controller that you are using, there may be some buttons that won’t work as expected, or even some remotes that cannot be learned at all.

•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.

■Deleting Learning Commands

1.While holding down the REMOTE MODE button for the mode in which you want to delete the com- mand, press and hold down the TV [9] button until the REMOTE MODE button lights up (about 3 seconds).

2.Press the REMOTE MODE button or the button from which you want to delete the commands. The REMOTE MODE button flashes twice. When you press the REMOTE MODE button, all commands learned in that remote mode will be deleted.
