PowerTouch contains sophisticated features that allow it to “learn” new commands from other IR remotes. If none of the codes for the device and brand you select work, use this feature to instruct PowerTouch how to operate the device.
You can also use this feature to modify commands for codes that do work or even to add extra functionality to those codes.
For example, let’s say the basic control codes for your VCR are Power, Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, Pause, Channel and Record. Let’s also say that your VCR has an OSD (On Screen Display) menu that is not part of the default code set you chose. You can use your VCR’s remote to teach PowerTouch to access that menu.
To teach PowerTouch new commands:
1.Follow the steps under “How Do I Identify Devices?” on page 37.
2. Touch | to open the Function Change menu: |
4.When a button which can be renamed is selected, 
(Name Input) button is displayed with black charac-
ters. Touch 
to deisplay the keyboard and enter the button name (Example: CD: On). If characters already
have been enterd, touch 
to erase them. (See “How Do I Enter Text?” on page 8 of the Users’ Guide.)
Then touch 
on the keyboard display to establish the entry.
5.Touch the Learn button.
While “Learn” is displayed, perform the next operation. If the set is left untouched for more than one minute, “Time Out” will be displayed.
6.Aim the device’s remote at PowerTouch and press and hold the button on the device’s remote that corresponds to the command you want PowerTouch to learn:
This may take a few seconds; do not move PowerTouch or the device’s remote until PowerTouch displays the Function Change menu again.
•“Learn Success” is displayed when learning completes successfully.
4 inches (10 cm)
BACKLIGHT
• “Lean Fail” is displayed when it failed.
After a learning process is completed, always touch 
to test the command or function that PowerTouch has learned. If the command or function does not work, 39 perform the learning process again.
Be sure to use the device’s original remote. PowerTouch will not learn commands from other universal remotes.
7.Repeat steps 3 through 5 until you have taught PowerTouch all the commands you want it to know. If
you need more function lines, touch 
or 
to ac- cess more lines.
8.Touch 
to return to the IR Setup menu.
9.Touch 
to return to the Setup menu.

3.Select the button to be programmed by learning (In- clude “Empty 1 to Empty 8”).
You will be able to access these new commands by touch- ing More or the button you assign on any device control screen. (Users’ Guide)
Depending on the remote control unit, "Learn" may not be possible.
