IR Transmitter Finder

This feature assists you in identifying where your original remote’s infrared (IR) transmitter is located.

This feature is particularly useful if your original remote’s IR transmitter is hidden behind a lens.

1.Point your remotes so that the top of your existing remote faces the bottom of your new remote and the remotes are about 1 inch apart (see picure on next page).

2.Press and hold SETUP until the indicator remains on, then release SETUP.

3.Repeatedly press and release SELECT to select the desired mode (TV, VCR, etc.).

4.Press and release LEARN; the indicator blinks, then stays on.

5.Press and hold any original remote button and move the original remote to the left and right and/or up and down in front of the IR transmitter.

Note1: The indicator will remain on if there is not any IR from the original remote. The indicator will blink on and off more rapidly when the IR transmitters are lining up.

The point where the indicator blinks most rapidly is where the two IR transmitters are aligned.

Note2: Some original remotes only transmit IR on the initial button press and then stop transmitting IR. Quickly press and release the original remote button repeatedly during this procedure in such cases.
