4.The next display screen (Figure 78) is where you select the device within which the key to be renamed exists. Press the ⁄¤
Navigation Buttons E until the name of the base device appears. In our example, since we want to rename a button within the DVD device memory, DVD should appear in the lower line of the LCD. When the desired device name appears, press the Set Button F.

6.Depending on whether or not the button pressed already has a named function within the device selected, one of two things will happen.
a.If the button to be renamed already has a pre-programmed, or previously renamed title in the remote’s memory, you will see that name on the top line of the LCD display, and a blinking block cursor will appear on the far left side of the bottom line of the display, as shown in Figure 80.
b.If the button to be renamed does not have a function in the device selected, the top line of the LCD screen will be blank, and a blinking block cursor will appear on the far left side of the bottom line of the display, as shown in Figure 81.

7.To enter the new name for the key, press the Numeric Keys H. The letters above the numbered buttons indicate which letters or symbols will appear when the button is pressed during the renaming process. The first press of the button will enter the first character shown, subsequent presses of the same button will change the display to the other letters above that numbered key. For example, since the first letter we need to rename the Tone button to Zoom is a “Z,” so you would locate the “Z” above the “9” button, and press the button four times. The first press shows a “W,” the subsequent presses step through the other letters available until the “Z” appears. Consult the table on the previous page to see which characters are available by pressing a particular button.
8.After you enter the first letter of the new device name, there are three options for entering the next character:
a.To enter a letter that requires a different numeric key to be pressed, simply press that button. The cursor will automatically move to the next position and the first letter accessed by the new button will appear. Following our example, the next letter needed is an “O,” so you would press the “6” button once.
b.To enter a letter that uses the same numeric key, you must first press the › Navigation Buttons E to move the blinking cursor block to the next position. Then press the Numeric Key H as required to enter the desired letter. This is the way you would enter the second “O” in the word ZOOM, and again for the letter “M.”
c.To enter a blank space, press the › Navigation Buttons E twice. The first press will move the cursor to the right, and the second press will move the cursor one more space to the right, leaving a blank space between the last letter and the next one.
9.Repeat Steps 7 and 8 as needed to complete entering the needed letters, numbers, characters and spaces.
10.When the text entry is complete, press the Set Button F. The new name will be entered into the remote’s memory, replacing the default name.
11.At this point you have two options:
a.If you wish to program an additional key within the same device, press the Set Button F as instructed by the bottom line of the LCD display reading ANOTHER KEY. The remote will return to the SELECT A KEY menu option as shown in Step 6. Repeat the instructions in Steps 6 though 11 to rename the next key.
b.If you have no additional keys to rename, press the ⁄ Navigation Buttons E once so that the menu screen displays EXIT on the bottom line of the display. Press the Set Button F to return the remote to normal operation.
Notes on Renaming Keys:
•Renaming a key does not change its function. You may change the function of an individual key by learning a new code into the remote.
See page 54 for more information.
•When a key is renamed it will only apply to the specific device selected in Step 4. The same key may be renamed as needed for each individual device with which it is used.
Resetting the Remote
Depending on the way in which the remote has been programmed, there may be a situation where you wish to totally erase all changes that have been made to the remote and return it to the factory defaults. You may do that by following the steps shown below, but remember that once the remote is reset, ALL changes that have been made, including programming for use with other devices, learned keys, macros, punch- through settings and key names, will be erased and any settings you had previously made will have to be reentered.
To erase all settings and reset the remote to the original factory default settings and displays, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button F appears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 26), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button F will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until USER RESET appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 82.
