1.Programming Buttons

You program the RC commands (RC for Remote Control) by transmitting infrared signals from your existing remote controls to the RC9200/5200’s learning eye. To do this, place the RC9200/5200 and the device’s remote control on a flat surface, 1 to 100cm (1/2 to 36 inches) apart.

With each new remote control, you have to find the correct

learning distance.	1 to 100 cm apart
	(1/2 to 36 inches)

It is best to be systematic and teach all of the buttons from one remote control before proceeding to the next. Start with the controls close together; if you receive a FAIL, move them farther apart in one inch increments. Although rare, some component remotes require a very large distance between the sending LED and the RC9200/5200’s learning eye.

Test the first command from any new remote control to find the correct learning distance. Once you have found the correct learning distance, do not change it for any other button on that particular remote control.

Most commands learn correctly when you press and hold them until the OK indicator appears. However, sometimes the RC9200/5200 will say OK, yet the command will not operate the component properly. If this occurs, try re-teaching the command with a brief tap. After a short delay the OK indicator will appear. Test the code. If this improves operation, continue to use the Tap technique for all other buttons on the remote. The only buttons that you MUST use the press and hold technique for are buttons that you will press and hold when you are operating the component (i.e. volume, scan, etc.).
