Niles Audio ZR-4 manual Configure TV and Aux, Searching for Your Code, Checking the Codes

Configuring the Hand-Held remote

To be certain that the remote functions properly, all IR commands for source devices connected to inputs 2, 3, and 4 must be learned from the original device remote. A total of 42 to 75 commands can be stored, depending on the size of the learned commands.

Commands for TV and AUX devices are implemented using five-digit codes to identify a complete command set for a device. The codes can be found in the “Manufacturer’s Codes” list provided. Codes implemented via the five-digit code method do not consume memory (and therefore do not reduce total capacity) used for learning codes.

CONFIGURE TV and Aux

Before proceeding, find the codes for the devices to be controlled in the provided list (“Manufacturer’s Codes”). Write down or highlight these codes for easy references, then perform the following steps:

1.Turn on the device (for example: DVD player) and, if

needed, load media (for example: a DVD).

2.Press the Source key, TV, or Aux on the remote that you wish to program.

3.Press and hold SETUP until the Selected Source Key blinks twice, then release.

4.Enter the first five-digit code for the device and brand that you wish to program. The Source Key LED blinks once as each digit is entered. If the code is valid, the Source Key LED blinks twice.

NOTE: If the Source key LED does not blink twice, repeat steps 2 to 4 and try entering the code again.

5.Aim the remote at the device and press Power Off. The device should turn Off. If it does not, repeat steps 3–5, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If you cannot find a code that works, see “Searching for Your Code”.

6.Repeat steps 1 to 5 for the other device you want to control.

SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE

If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed, try searching for your code:

1. Turn on the device you wish to control.

NILES AUDIO CORPORATION – 1-800-BUY-HIFI – 305-238-4373

2.Press a Source key once.

3.Press and hold SETUP until the Selected Source Key blinks twice, then release.

4.Enter 9 9 1, then the device group number (see table below). The LED blinks twice.

TABLE:

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

1TV (TVs)

2VCR (VCRs, DVD players )

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

5.Aim the remote at the device and press Power Off. The remote sends IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first. If the device responds, go to step 7.

6.If the device does not respond, press CH+ and the remote will test the next code for that device type. Continue to press CH+ until the device turns Off.

Note: Press CH- to try the previous code.

7.Now that you have found the correct code, press SETUP to save the code that worked for your device. The Source Key LED will blink twice to indicate that the code has been saved. To search for other device codes, repeat steps 1 to 5.

CHECKING THE CODES

If you have set up the remote using the procedure in “Searching for Your Code”, you may need to find out which five-digit code is operating your equipment. For example, to find out which code is assigned to your TV:

1.Press the TV Source Key once.

2.Press and hold SETUP until the TV Source Key LED blinks twice, then release

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

4.To view the code for the first digit, press 1. Count the Key LED blinks (for example: three blinks = 3), and write down the number.
