Code Learning

Tips On Learning

You can only learn one device type under any one Mode button e.g. only learn TV codes under the TV Mode, DVD codes under the DVD Mode, etc. If you are trying to learn from a “Universal” remote, it might have more than one code type stored under a Mode. Try learning from another remote to see if there’s a problem with the type or brand of remote you are trying to learn from.

a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not be able to be learned.

b. No functions may be stored under the SETUP button.

c. Only one original device type can be learned per individual Mode. d. Use fresh batteries for both the Learning Remote and the Original

Remote.

e. Do not attempt to Learn directly under an incandescent or low-energy light as these can cause interference with the IR transmissions. Keep at least 3 feet away from any such light sources.

f. Perform a Master Clear (see page 22) before learning and try learning 2 or 3 commands initially. Then carry out a Master Clear before completely learning your original remote’s commands.

g. Carry out a “Mode Clear” before learning a Mode to make sure there are no previously learned commands for that Mode.

h. Place the original remote end-to-end with the Learning Remote so the IR transmitters on both remotes are directly in line with each other. You may need to adjust the height of either remote to achieve this.

i. Keep the distance between the two remotes to approximately 1 inch and do not move or change the distance between the two remotes until you have learned all the required buttons for that Mode.

j. Avoid learning your original remote Volume/Mute buttons unless you are sure these operate the same device e.g. some original DVD remotes include TV Volume/Mute button control and can be two different types of code.

k. Avoid learning your original remote VCR or DVD buttons unless you are sure these operate the same device e.g. some original TV remotes include VCR or DVD button control and can be two different types of code.

l. Learning a button can take up to 3 seconds. Do not release the button

being Learned until SUCCESS or LEARN ERROR has been displayed.
