Learning a pre-programming code

The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering the signal number for a remote controller of another brand that is pre- programmed. Another is a normal learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the codes from other remote controllers. And the last is a macro learning function that enables you to program a series of operations into the remote controller so that the operations can all be performed at once by pressing one button.

Caution

With some brand’s components, some buttons may not work correctly. In this case, program the command separately.

Learning a pre-programming code

By learning a pre-programming code, you can make the RC-440M remote controller able to operate a product from another brand. The buttons that are used for operation are given on the next page.

1.Find the 3-digit number for the brand name of the component that you want to operate in the table on the next page.

2.Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e. DVD, satellite tuner, or television).

3.While holding down the MODE button on the RC- 440M that you want to program, press the DISPLAY button, and then release both buttons.

The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is pressed and turns off when the DISPLAY button is pressed. Wait until the indicator turns off before releasing both buttons. Then the SEND/LEARN indicator lights again.

4.Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.

The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. If the SEND/ LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times, then either a mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation was performed. If this occurs, return to step 3.

5.Press the button that you programmed and check if the system operates correctly.

If the component turns off, the code is correct. If the component does not turn off, return to step 3.

6.If it still does not operate properly, then program the commands one by one to the buttons on the RC- 440M remote controller.

When entering the code of Onkyo DVD players:

There are three SETTING numbers. Choose the SETTING number according to how you will be using the DVD player.

No. 601/613: These codes are for operating the Onkyo DVD player by pointing the remote controller directly at it, either because it does not have an zterminal, or it does but you are not using an zcable and connecting it. First enter 601 and if it does not operate properly, enter 613.

No. 600: This code is for Onkyo DVD players that have an z terminal that you are connecting to the TX-DS696 with an z cable. You will then operate the DVD player by pointing the remote controller at the remote control sensor on the TX-DS696. You do not need to enter this code because it is factory preset. However, if the code has been changed to 601 or 613, then you will need to change it back to 600.
