Programming procedure

When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-440M remote controller, you must first decide under which MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general, you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the component you are programming. For example, if you are programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact disc player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then, by pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-440M remote controller will change to the commands you program here to operate the compact disc player.

After programming which MODE button to use, you will then transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller over to the RC-440M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-440M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step except for the eight MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT and MODE), and the LIGHT button.

Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.

1.Place the remote controller and the remote controller for the other device facing each other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) apart.

2.While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button on the remote controller, press the ENTER button and then release both buttons.

When you press and hold down the MODE button, the SEND/ LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.

3.Press and release the button on the remote controller to which you want to transfer the next command.

You may select any button but the eleven ones indicated in the figure below. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights again.

If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
