PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

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

CHECKING THE CODES

If the R-8L remote was set up using the procedure from

Searching For Your Code,” it may become necessary to fi nd out which fi ve-digit code is operating the device. For example, to fi nd out which fi ve-digit code is assigned to the TV:

1.Press the TV button once.

2.Press-and-hold the Setup button until the TV button LED blinks twice, then release.

3.Enter 9 9 0. The TV button LED blinks twice.

4.To view the fi rst code digit, press 1. Count the number of LED blinks. For example: three blinks = 3. If the code digit is “0” the LED does not blink. Make note of this number.

5.Continue through the fi ve digits by pressing 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third, 4 for the fourth, and fi nally 5 for the fi fth. Count the LED blinks for each digit.

6.To check for the Aux button device code, repeat steps 1-5, substituting the Aux button for the TV button.

PROGRAMMING SOURCES 2, 3, 4, 5, AND 6

The IR commands for source devices 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are learned into the R-8L remote directly from the source device factory remotes.

TECH TIP

To be certain that functions operate properly, all IR commands for source devices 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

must be learned from the original factory remote. The total number of commands that can be stored

in the R-8L remote varies from 42 to 75, depending on the size of the commands being learned.

PRECAUTIONS

The source device factory remotes must be in working order for the R-8L remote to learn IR codes properly.

Learned buttons are device-specifi c; each stores a unique function for each device. Be certain that the correct source device is selected before learning codes.

Do not use any of the Source buttons or the Setup button to learn.

Certain IR command codes cannot be learned, including multi-frequency types, some high-frequency types, and other unusual formats.

During programming, avoid high levels of ambient light, such as natural sunlight or fl uorescent lighting.

PROGRAMMING A LEARNING BUTTON

Have the source device factory remote handy before beginning the programming process.

To program a learning button:

1.Place the R-8L remote control and the source device factory remote head-to-head (about 2” apart).

2.Locate the button on the source device factory remote that the R-8L is going to learn.

3.Press the Source button on the R-8L that corresponds to the source device

4.Press-and-hold the Setup button until the Source button LED blinks twice, then release.

5.Enter 9 7 5. The Source button LED blinks twice. If the LED displays one long fl ash instead, the R-8L batteries are low, or the R-8L’s memory is full. In either case, the remote cannot learn a new button.

6.Press the R-8L button that is to learn the command. The Source button LED will blink rapidly for three seconds, indicating the remote is ready to learn.

7.On the source device factory remote, press-and-hold the button to be learned. Continue holding the button until the R-8L’s Source key LED blinks twice. If the Source button LED displays one long blink, a learning error has occurred. Try repeating the steps again until a successful capture is obtained. If the function cannot be captured, press-and- hold the Setup button to exit programming. Review the “Learning Precautions” section above. Also review the “Troubleshooting” section at the end of the system guide. After review, start the programming procedure again.

8.Repeat steps 6-7 for each button to be learned. Once all buttons have been learned, press-and-hold the Setup button until the Source key LED blinks twice to save all data learned.
