Learning function

•If your AV component is not a DENON product or it cannot be operated with the preset memory codesets, you can “teach” the AVR-2801/981’s remote control to “learn” the codes from the component’s original remote control.

•The buttons that can be “learned” are the CD, DECK and CDR/MD system buttons (see page 24) and the DVD, VDP, VCR and TV system buttons (see page 27). (For the CD, CDR/MD, DVD, VDP and TV, the A block buttons can also be “learned”, and for the DVD and TV, the B block

buttons can also be “learned”.)	SYSTEM CALL	POWER

The indicator stops flashing and the START LED lights.

The learnable buttons are the buttons which can be operated with the DENON system codes for the CD player, tape deck, CD recorder, MD recorder, the buttons which can be operated with the preset memory for the DVD, VCR, VDP and TV. For the TV only, however, the buttons in the section indicated “A” on the diagram above can also be “learned”. Use these to “learn” TV channels.

	The two LEDs start
	flashing again.	Light
7	To “learn” other buttons, repeat steps 2 to 6.

8	Once the learning operation is completed, press the
	USE/LEARN selector button again.
	The two LEDs stop flashing and the learning mode is
	cancelled.
	Check that the stored
	codes work properly.

NOTES:

•Up to 26 codes can be “learned”, but this number may be lower if the codes are long.

•If a non-learnable button is pressed or two or more buttons are pressed at once, the two LEDs will once again light when the button(s) is released.

•If the codes could not be stored, the LEARNED/TX LED does not light after the START LED turns off. For limited number of models, codes cannot be stored in RC-881.

•If the two LEDs start flashing rapidly after the START LED lights, this means that the memory is already full, and the code you have just attempted to store was not stored.

To “learn” that code, first perform the resetting operation. (See page 31.)
