Learning Commands from Another Remote Controller

You can teach the DTR-7.4’s remote controller new commands simply by transmitting commands from another remote controller one at time. For example, by transmitting the Play and Stop commands from your CD player’s remote controller, the DTR-7.4’s remote controller can be taught to transmit those commands when its Play and Stop buttons are pressed in CD mode.

This is convenient when you want to add commands to buttons after entering a remote control code (page 89).

1	Press and hold the Custom button
Custom	for more than three seconds.
	The remote controller enters Custom
	mode.
2	Roll the scroll wheel to select
	“LEARN,” and then press the
	scroll wheel.

3	Roll the scroll wheel to select the
	the remote controller mode you
	want to teach a new command,
	and then press the scroll wheel.
	The following remote controller modes
	can be selected: DVD, TV, VCR, CBL,
	or SAT.

4	On the DTR-7.4’s remote con-
	troller, press the button you want
	to teach the new command.

If you press a button that cannot be taught a new command, the message “RETRY” appears and you should press another button.

5	Point the remote controllers at
	each other, about 2 to 6 inches (5–
	15 cm) apart, and then, on the
	other remote controller, press the
	button whose command you want
	to learn.
	When the command has been learnt suc-
	cessfully, “OK” appears on the display.
	You may need to press the button several
	times.

If the command is not learnt success- fully, after the message “FAIL” has been displayed, the mode select display reap- pears (step 3), and you should try again.

6	To teach the DTR-7.4’s remote
	controller more new commands,
	repeat steps 3 through 5.
	Press the Custom button when you’ve
	finished.

Notes:

•The following buttons cannot be taught new com- mands: LIGHT, Customs, Macro, Mode, Input, Zone 2, and the scroll wheel button.

•The DTR-7.4’s remote controller can learn a total of 150 commands. However, the commands of some remote controllers may use a lot of memory, in which case, this total will be reduced.

•If the message “FULL” appears, the remote control- ler cannot learn any more commands because its memory is full.

•By default, the DTR-7.4’s remote controller knows the commands for controlling an Onkyo CD player, cassette deck, DVD player, and MD player (e.g., Play, Stop, Pause, etc., buttons). You can teach these buttons new commands, although the defaults will be restored if the remote controller is reset.

•To teach a new command to a button that has already been taught a command, simply repeat this proce- dure.

•Like most remote controllers, the DTR-7.4’s remote controller uses infrared. Commands from remote controllers that don’t use infrared cannot be learnt.

•When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all learnt commands will be lost and will have to learnt all over again, so don’t discard your other remote controllers.
