Getting the Maximum out of it

1. Introduction

The remote controller is preprogrammed to work with all equipment that recognizes NEC infrared codes. This includes all Integra/Onkyo devices.

What makes the remote controller so powerful is the ability to extend its functionality in multiple ways like programming additional functions, adding supplementary devices, recording macros and customizing the interface as it suits you best.

Working with Modes

When you operate your devices, the remote controller is in Use mode. For actions other than operating (like programming buttons, recording macro’s, adding devices, and so on) you have to switch to the appropriate mode:

: To operate devices.

: To input commands from other devices. For recording macros and setting timers.

: To label buttons and commands.

: To add new devices.

: To delete buttons, devices and macros.

: To change the listing order in a menu.

: To define brands using the remote controller’s database.

: To configure the remote controller to operate devices with RF or IR signals.

To switch to another mode

1.Tap the Mode button at the bottom of the touchscreen.

The Mode menu pops up.

2.Tap the mode you want to use.

The label of the active mode appears on the remote controller icon. You can now work in the selected mode.

Note:

When a label is displayed, you can also display the Mode menu by tapping the label.

To hide the Mode menu

To prevent accidental changes to the remote controller interface and commands, you can hide the Mode menu:

1.Make sure the remote controller is in Use mode.

2.Touch and hold the remote controller icon for a few seconds.

The first setup panel appears.

3.Scroll down to the second setup panel.

4.Tap the Mode Menu button.

The mode menu icon is crossed out.

5.Tap .

The remote controller switches to Use mode. The Mode button is no longer visible.

2. Programming Buttons

You can program the remote controller commands by transmitting infrared signals from your existing remote controls to the remote controller’s learning eye. To do this, place the remote controller and the device’s remote controller on a flat surface, 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches) apart.

15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches)

The following buttons can be programmed: control panel buttons, Device menu items, direct-access buttons and Left/Right buttons.

You cannot program Home menu buttons directly. You need to program them by following the Device menu (see page 73).

The remote controller also offers empty control panel buttons you can program and label as existing buttons. They are only visible in Learn and Label mode and appear without label or with label (intended for a specific function). You will also see previously deleted buttons: you can restore them by reprogramming them or you can reuse them for other commands.
