Universal Remote Programming Guide

Programming the remote controller codes of other devices into the RC-391M

The RC-391M has two learning functions. One is a normal learning function that enables the RC-391M to learn other remote controllers’ codes. The other is a macro learning function, which enables the RC-391M to learn a series of codes already memorized in the remote con- troller into one MACRO button.

Programming procedure

Program the codes for each mode (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV).

RC-391M

1. Place the RC-391M and the remote controller for another device, with 5–15cm (2–6 inches) apart and the light-emit- ting parts facing each other.

2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button on the RC-391M (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, or TV), press the ENT button, then release the but- tons.

When you press and hold down one of the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights up. When you press the ENT button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights up again.

3. Press and release the desired operation button on the RC- 391M.

You may select any button within the rectangle shown in the ﬁgure. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights up again.

4. Press and hold down the desired button on the remote con- troller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN indicator on the RC-391M ﬂashes twice.

The SEND/LEARN indicator ﬂashes twice slowly, then lights up.

5. Repeat Steps 3–4 to program other buttons in the same MODE.

Repeat Steps 2-4 to program other buttons in a different MODE.

6. Press the MODE button to complete programming.

7. Operate the programmed button to make sure the learning function works.

3 The button you wish to memorize

Note:

•	The remote controller has 408 memory slots (51 buttons ⋅ 8
	modes), although this number varies signiﬁcantly depending on
	the manufacturers and types of the remote controller you wish to
	program into the RC-391M. It is recommended that you deter-
•	mine which button functions have priority for programming.
•	If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during
	the procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator ﬂashes three times
•	quickly, then the RC-391M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 2.
•	If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN
	indicator ﬂashes three times quickly, then the RC-391M exits
•	Learning mode.
•	If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the RC-
	391M, the SEND/LEARN indicator ﬂashes six times quickly,
	then the RC-391M exits Learning function. Try programming in
•	a button of other MODE.
•	Follow the same procedure when you wish to program new
•	codes into the already-programmed buttons.
•	This remote controller uses infrared rays. Most remote control-
	ler codes can be memorized using the infrared system; however,
	depending on the degree to which the system differs, there may
•	be some rare occasions when memorization is not possible.
•	Some remote controllers use a single button to perform different
	functions, with the function code changing each time the button
	is pressed. If you are using this kind of controller, please per-
	form the “learn” operations for each function individually to
•	store each function to a button on the RC-391M.
•	For instructions regarding the operation of “learned” units,
•	please refer to the instruction manual for each product.
•	Even after codes have been memorized, please keep your old

Note:

The remote controller codes for the Onkyo CD player, tape deck, DVD player, and MD recorder have already been pro- grammed into the buttons on the RC-391M. You may program other remote controller codes into these buttons. If you wish to restore the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, erase the new codes. (See page 35.)

	remote controller in a safe place. If the memorized codes are
	lost when the batteries run down, it will be necessary to memo-
•	rize them once again using the old remote controller.
•	Make sure both the RC-391M and the product’s own remote
	controller have fresh batteries. If either of them has batteries
	that are wearing down, it may be impossible to store the remote
	controller codes into the RC-391M or the product may not
	respond properly to the buttons on the RC-391M for which the
	remote controller codes were stored into memory.
