Integra RDC-7.1 instruction manual 136, Learning Commands from Another Remote Controller

Using the Remote Controller with Other Components—Continued

Learning Commands from Another Remote Controller

You can teach the RDC-7.1’s remote controller new commands simply by transmitting commands from another remote controller one at a time. For example, by transmitting the Play and Stop commands from your CD player’s remote controller, the RDC-7.1’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 (See page 129).

1	Press and hold the [Custom] but-
Custom	ton 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.

4	On the RDC-7.1’s remote control-
	ler, 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 learned
	successfully, “OK” appears on the dis-
	play. You may need to press the button
	several times.

If the command is not learned 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 RDC-7.1’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], [Custom], [Macro], [Mode], [Input], [Zone 2], [Zone 3], and the scroll wheel but- ton.

•The RDC-7.1’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 RDC-7.1’s remote controller knows the commands for controlling an IntegraRESEARCH/ Onkyo CD player, cassette deck, DVD player, and MD recorder (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 RDC-7.1’s remote controller uses infrared. Commands from remote controllers that don’t use infrared cannot be learned.

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