3.The SELECT A DEVICE message will appear in the LCD display (Figure 20). Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons o to scroll through the list of device categories and press the Set Button q when the device for which you wish to set the codes appears. For this example, we will select “TV” to enter the codes needed to operate your TV.
4.The next menu screen (Figure 30) will prompt you to select the button, or “key,” on the DPR remote that you wish to program. Press that button on the DPR remote.

If you see that menu, proceed to Step 9. If the code is not successfully learned, you will see the display shown in Figure 33. If that menu appears, proceed to Steps 7 and 8.

7.If the message shown in Figure 33 appears in the display, press the Set Button q to try pro- gramming the button again. When the remote prompts you to press and hold the key on the original remote again by showing the display shown in Figure 31, immediately press the button on the source remote again. To avoid another failed attempt, make certain that the windows on the two remotes are facing one another.
8.Continue to hold the button on the original remote until the LCD display changes again. If the code was successfully learned, you will see the display shown in Figure 32. In that case, go to Step 9.
If the LEARN FAILED display (Figure 33) appears again, you may either try to program the key again, or press the ⁄ Navigation Button o to stop the process. It is possible that some remotes may use code sequences or infrared fre- quencies that are not compatible with the DPR remote, and those codes cannot be learned. When the display shown in Figure 34 appears, press the Set Button q to exit the Learning system.

9.When a code has been learned successfully, you have three options. When the display shown in Figure 32 is on the LCD screen on the DPR remote, you may press the Set Button q to learn additional codes from the buttons on a source remote into the DPR remote. Follow Steps 4 through 6 as often as needed to complete the
10.If you wish to change the name that appears in the LCD display when the button that has just had a new code learned is pressed, press the
⁄ Navigation Button o so that the display shown in Figure 35 appears in the LCD display. Press the Set Button q to be taken to a RENAME KEY display. Enter the new name for the key following the instructions shown in the Renaming Individual Keys section of this manual on page 49. If you find it more convenient to rename the buttons at a later time, you may do that separately by following the instructions on page 48.

Changing Devices
In the factory default settings, the DPR remote is programmed so that the commands transmitted correspond to the device selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors 3. This is logical, as you want the remote to control the device you have selected. However, in some circumstances you may have con- figured your system so that the devices connected to the DPR 1005 do not correspond to the default device settings and the legends printed on the remote. For example, if your system has two VCRs you may connect the second VCR to the VID 2 input. There is no problem in doing that, but in normal operation the commands issued after selecting the VID 2 input are for a television, not a VCR.
The DPR remote allows you to correct that situation through the “Changing Devices” process. This enables you to assign the codes from one type of device to a different button. For example, in the steps below, we will explain how to program the VID 2 buttons to provide the commands to operate a VCR. Of course, you may program the remote to have any of the devices take on the code set of any other device, as your system requires. And, with the DPR remote’s “Rename” function, you can even change the way the name of the device appears on the remote’s LCD display so that you see exactly which commands are being sent.
To program the buttons normally assigned to one device for the commands of another, follow these steps:
1.Press and hold the Program Button O for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 18 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button q appears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 18), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button q will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄ Navigation Button o twice so that
CHANGE DEVICE appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 37. Press the Set Button q to begin the process of reassigning the commands used for a particular device.

3.The next menu display is where you select the Input Select, or device, that you wish to change. When the display shown in Figure 38 appears, press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o to scroll through the list to find the device you wish to use for another function. In this case we will select
