controlling other devices

Method 1 (direct code setup)

is section describes the simplest (preferred) way to

program the Cr104’s Device Mode keys to control the

non-Arcam devices in your system.

TUN

AVSAT

PVR VCR

AMP

< Some of the modes are locked to Arcam operation

but can be unlocked if required (see “Locking/

Unlocking a specic Device Mode” on page E-28).

< A mode only controls Arcam equipment.

BD mode Locked

SAT mode Unlocked

AV mode Unlocked

TUn mode Locked

AUX mode Locked

VCr mode Unlocked

CD mode Locked

Here is a specic example of how to program the a

key to control an Addison television. e principles for

controlling other devices are exactly the same.

1. Make sure your device is switched on (not just on

standby).

2. Find the correct Device Code table (e.g. TV) for

the type of device you want to control from the

Cr104.

3. Find the row containing the codes for the

manufacturer of your device (e.g. Addison) (page

34). e most popular code is listed rst.

4. Press the appropriate Device Mode key (e.g. a)

on the Cr104.

5. Press and hold S until the red Power LED

blinks twice: * * (It actually blinks once when

you press the key, then twice aer about three

seconds).

6. Enter the rst four-digit device code using the

number keys. e power key blinks twice: * *.

7. Aim the Cr104 at the device and press P. If the

device switches o, the setup is complete.

8. Turn your device back on and test all the Cr104’s

functions to ensure they are working properly.

9. Important! Write your device code down on the

right hand side of the page so you can remember

it if you ever reset the Cr104.

What if i still can’t control my device?

< If your device doesn’t respond, repeat the above

steps until one of the device codes listed for your

brand works.

< If none of the codes listed for your brand operates

your device, or if your brand is not listed at all, try

the Library Search Method described in the next

section.

notes:

< Some codes are quite similar. If your device does

not respond or is not functioning properly with

one of the codes, try another code listed under

your brand.

< If your device’s original remote control does not

have a P (POWEr) key, press $ instead of P

when setting up your device.

< remember to press the corresponding device key

before operating your device.

< Many TVs do not switch on pressing P. Please

try pressing a number key (‘channel select’) to

switch your TV back on.

< To search for the code for another device follow

the instructions above, but press the appropriate

device key instead of a during step 2.

Method 2 (library search)

is section describes another way to program the

Cr104 to control third-party equipment.

Library Search allows you to scan through all the

codes contained in the Cr104’s memory. It can take a

lot longer than the previous method, so only use this

method if:

< Your device does not respond to the Cr104 aer

you have tried all the codes listed for your brand.

< Your brand is not listed at all in the Device Code

tables.

example: To search for a TV code

1. Switch your TV on (not standby) and aim the

Cr104 at it.

2. Press a on your Cr104.

3. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks

twice.

4. Press 9 9 1. e power LED key blinks

twice: * *.

5. Press P.

6. Aim the Cr104 at your Television and press [

repeatedly until your Television turns o.

Every time you press [ the Cr104 sends out a

POWEr signal from the next code contained in its

memory. In the worst case, you may have to press this

key up to 150 times, so patience is required! If you

skip past a code, step back by pressing ]. remember

to keep pointing the Cr104 at your Television while

pressing this key.

7. As soon as your television turns o, press S to

store the code.

notes:

< Many TVs do not switch on by pressing P. Try

pressing a number key (‘channel select’) to switch

your TV back on.

< If you cannot control your Television properly,

please continue the Search Method: you may be

using the wrong code.

< To search for the code for another device follow

the instructions above, but press the appropriate

Device Mode key instead of a during step 2.

< If your device’s original remote control does not

have a P (STaNDBY) key, press $ instead during

step 5.

code blink-back

Once you have set up your Cr104, you can blink back

your device set-up codes for future reference.

example: To blink back your Television code

1. Press the appropriate Device Mode key (e.g. a)

once.

2. Press and hold S until the red Power LED

blinks twice * * (It actually blinks once when

you press the key, then twice aer about three

seconds).

3. Press 9 9 0. e P key blinks twice.

4. For the rst digit of your four-digit code, press 1

and count all the red blinks. If there are no blinks,

the digit is ‘0’.

5. For the second, third and fourth digits, repeat the

previous step, pressing 2, 3, or 4 in order.

now you have the four-digit code.

Make a note of the codes

Write down the codes for your devices in the boxes

below for future reference.
