2.3Programming Your ADCOM GRC-800 Remote

The ADCOM universal remote control- ler operates eight different audio/ video components. As you’ve already seen, it’s pre programmed to control ADCOM’s GTP-860IIPreamp/Tuner and the GCD-700/750 CD players. In addition, it has seven “component memory banks” available so you can program the remote to learn com- mands for your DVD player, satellite box, laser disc player, VCR, etc. This lets you use one remote controller for your entire system.

Using Pre programmed Commands

Using the remote controller’s pre programmed commands is simple. For most GTP-860IIfunctions (volume up/down, changing surround modes, etc.), follow these easy steps.

1.Press the main source selector button. This tells the remote that you want to use GTP-860IIpre pro- grammed commands. The main button will flash red to tell you it under- stands.

2.Press the appropriate function but- ton (volume up, volume down, etc.) If you’ve selected a button that actu- ally triggers a GTP-860IIcommand, the main button will again flash red to confirm your choice. If the main button does not flash, you’ve selected a func- tion button that isn’t pre programmed.

For tuner functions (changing stations, etc.):

1.Press the tuner source selector button. It will flash red.

2.Press the tuning up (or tuning down) function button to change sta- tions. The tuner source selector will flash red to confirm that the func- tion button you’ve selected actually triggers a command. (Again, use the table to see which buttons are pre programmed.)

ADCOM CD players.

NOTE: You can program new com- mands over the pre programmed com- mands in tuner and CD if you wish. However, you cannot program any buttons, even those unprogrammed with GTP-860IIcommand codes, while you’re in main mode. This safety fea- ture assures you that you will always be able to fully enjoy the GTP-860II’s capabilities.

Programming Your Own Commands

You can supplement pre programmed commands with commands to oper- ate other components. Before you begin to follow these steps, note the status LED located at the top left corner just above the remote’s but- ton panel: It will flash red, orange, or green to signal particular functions as you enter new commands into your ADCOM remote.

Begin by deciding which source com- ponent’s commands you will be trans- ferring to the ADCOM remote. Then press the appropriate source selector button. For example, if you’re teach- ing your ADCOM remote commands for your Video 1 source, press the vid 1 source selector first. You can “teach” your remote new commands for any function button (except backlight) after you’ve selected vid 1, vid 2, vid 3, vid 4, vid 5, tuner, or CD.

1.Place the source component’s remote “head to head” with the ADCOM remote. They should be in line with each other about 2 to 3 inches apart.

2.Press the ADCOM remote’s appro- priate source selector and select but- tons simultaneously. Hold both but- tons until the status LED turns orange and the source selector button glows red. Both indicators should remain lit.

3.Decide which function button on the ADCOM remote you want to learn a new command. Press it. The orange status LED will begin to flash and the source selector LED will go out.

4.Find the corresponding button on the source component’s remote. Press and hold it until the status LED on the ADCOM remote flashes green once and remains green until the button on the source remote is released. Once the button on the source remote is released, the status LED will start flashing orange again.

5.Verify that the ADCOM remote has learned the new command by pressing and holding the same button on the source remote. The ADCOM remote’s status LED should flash green twice and then go back to steady orange. This indicates successful program- ming. Release the button on the source remote.

Repeat Steps 3 through 5 for any other commands you want to teach your ADCOM remote for that source component.

Save the commands you’ve just pro- grammed into the ADCOM remote by pressing and holding the appropriate source selector and select buttons simultaneously. Hold until the status LED and source selector LED flash twice and then go out. Repeat these steps for any other source commands you wish to program.

Deleting (Clearing) Individual Programmed Commands

1.Press the ADCOM remote’s source selector and select buttons simultane- ously and hold until the orange status LED and the source selector button glow steadily.

2.Press the function button you wish to clear. The status LED will flash continuously.

3.Press the backlight button. The status LED will then flash green twice and then revert to steady orange. The source selector button will continue to glow.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for any other command you wish to delete for the same source component.
