The Remote Control

Learning IR Codes

The iPronto RC sends out infrared (IR) signals to your devices, which will execute an action, for example “TV On” or “VCR Start Recording”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For every action the iPronto sends out a specific IR signal, called an “IR code”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The iPronto RC contains a huge database that contains numerous IR codes for all

 

 

 

 

 

 

kinds of devices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The iPronto RC is set up by default to operate Philips and Philips

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

compatible devices. If you have other brands, the iPronto has to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“learn” the specific IR codes for your device from the existing RC that

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

accompanies the device. This means that you press the button on the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

existing RC and point it to the iPronto’s learning eye:

distance: 4-8 inches
