Tips On Learning, cont.
k.Avoid learning your original remote VCR transport buttons unless you are sure these operate the same device e.g. some original TV remotes include VCR button control and can be two different types of code.
l.If learning the first or second buttons for a Mode results in continuous errors then try the following:
i.End the Learn session by pressing the CODE SEARCH key.
ii.Clear out the learned commands for that Mode.
iii.Check the IR transmitters are correctly aligned between the two remotes (use the IR Transmitter Finder facility).
iv.Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer (e.g. half an inch) or a further away (e.g. 2 inches) from each other.
v.Try learning the original remote for that Mode again.
If problems reoccur with the same button check the original remote button being learned – does it transmit? Does it operate the target device? Try learning that button under a different clear Mode. If it learns okay then it is likely to be a different code type from the others and cannot be learned under the same Mode.

IR Transmitter Finder Feature
This feature assists you in identifying where your original remotes IR transmitter is located and is particularly useful if your original remote’s IR transmitter is hidden behind a lens.
1.Point both remotes facing each other by approximately 1 inch apart (see Tips on Learning on previous pages)
2.Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the red indicator turns on, then release the button.
3.Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.), the red indicator blinks then stays on.
4.Press and release the LEARN button, the red 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 Learning remote IR transmitter. The red indicator will remain on if no IR from the Original remote is found and the red indicator will blink on and off more rapidly when the IR transmitters are lining up. The point where the red indicator blinks most rapidly is where the two IR transmitters are aligned. Note some original remotes will only transmit IR on the initial button press then stop. In these cases, quickly press and release the original remote button repeatedly during this procedure.
6.You can now learn a button from your original remote by continuing from “Step 4” in the “Learning Commands” section on the next page, or, to exit at this point, press and release the CODE SEARCH button
