PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

PROGRAMMING THE R-8L HAND-HELD LEARNING REMOTE CONTROL

BATTERY REQUIREMENTS, USE, AND SAFETY

•Requires two “AA” batteries (included)

•Use only fresh batteries

•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries of different capacities

•When the R-8L remote is not used for extended periods of time, remove the batteries to avoid destructive chemical leakage

•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly—do not burn or bury them

•When the battery voltage is low, a source key LED will blink

five times after a button press

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

1.Open the battery compartment cover (located on the back of the remote).

2.Place the “AA” batteries in the compartment and match the + and – polarity symbols inside.

3.Replace the battery compartment cover.

CONFIGURING THE TV AND AUX DEVICES

Before proceeding, fi nd the codes for the devices to be controlled from the provided “Manufacturer’s Codes” list and write them down or highlight them.

Input the fi ve-digit codes to confi gure devices for the TV and Aux buttons following the procedure below. Codes confi gured in this manner are stored in a different location and do not affect the capacity for learning commands manually into the remote.

1.Turn on the device, for example, a DVD player and, if needed, load media (for example, a DVD disc).

2.Press the TV or the Aux button on the R-8L remote.

3.Press-and-hold the Setup button until the selected TV or Aux button blinks twice, then release.

4.Enter the fi rst available fi ve-digit code for the device you wish to program. The TV or Aux button’s LED blinks once as each digit is entered. If the code is valid, the LED blinks twice. If the button does not blink twice, repeats steps 2-4 and try entering the code again.

5.Aim the R-8L remote at the device and press the Power Off button. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 3-5, trying the other codes for the device until one works. If none of the codes work, see “Searching For Your Code” in the next section.

Repeat steps 1-5 for the other device to be confi gured for the TV and Aux buttons.

SEARCHING FOR A CODE

If the device does not respond to the remote after entering all of the codes listed for the brand, or if the brand is not listed, use the following procedure to search for the code:

1.Turn on the device you wish to control.

2.Press the TV or the Aux button on the R-8L remote.

3.Press-and-hold the Setup button until the selected TV or Aux button blinks twice, then release.

4.Enter 9 9 1, then the device Group Number (the table below). The LED blinks twice.

Table: Device Group Number

0Cable (cable converters, video accessories, satellite receivers)

1 TV (TVs)

2 VCR (VCRs, DVD players )

3 Audio (audio amplifiers, audio amp/tuners, CD players)

5.Aim the R-8L remote at the device and press the Power Off button. The remote sends IR codes from its library to the device, starting with the most popular code fi rst. If the device responds, go to step 7.

6.If the device does not respond, press the CH + button. The R-8L remote will test the next code for the device type. Continue pressing the CH + button until the device turns off. Press the CH – button to go back to the previous code.

7.Now that the code has been found, press the Setup button to save the code. The TV or Aux button will blink twice to indicate that the code has been saved.

8.Repeat steps 1-5 to search for other device codes.
