SYSTEM PROGRAMMING STEPS

ALTERNATE IR LEARNING MODE

The ZR-8630AV has two IR learning modes:

1.Learn IR is the factory default IR learning mode, which should work for most remote controls.

2.LearnAlt. is an alternate IR learning mode configured specifically to interpret IR commands from remotes with unusual operating characteristics and those without a modulated IR carrier frequency.

If a source component does not respond correctly when you test an IR command that you taught in the Learn IR mode:

Leave the programming mode and determine whether the source component works in normal operation.

Check the batteries in the remote control.

Reteach the command at various distances from a half-inch (roughly a centimeter and a quarter) to three feet (almost a meter).

Finally, if nothing else works, change the IR learning mode to LearnAlt.:

1.Turn the ZR-8630AV ON.

2.Press and hold the PROGRAM button for two seconds, until the LCD display shows "PGM MODE

3.Press the Tuner Select button repeatedly until the LCD display shows "Learn IR."

4.Press the Station Scan + button or Station Scan - button to toggle the setting to "LearnAlt." To reset it manually to "Learn IR" press the Station Scan + button or Station Scan - button again.

5.Tap the PROGRAM button to exit programming. This automatically resets the IR learning mode to "Learn IR."

Important Note: After using LearnAlt. to teach a source component’s IR commands to the ZR-8630AV, man- ually reset the IR learning mode to Learn IR before teaching the next source component. If you leave the set- ting in LearnAlt., the ZR-8630AV won't capture the IR commands of most remotes.
