REMOTE PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW

The first task is to get all original remote controls together. You may have one or more components that do not have original remote controls. These can still be controlled by the RV-8. The preprogrammed method must be used for those devices. For the rest, you can program the RV-8 to make it compatible with all components by following the preprogrammed method instructions, by using the original remote controls to teach the RV-8, or through both methods. Next, it is recommended that you decide whether a “device-based,” or an “activity-based” configuration is desired.

A “device-based” configuration centers on each device with its two LCD pages controlling one component. All of the functions that the original remote control has programmed in it would be put onto one device. The RV-8 remote comes with the labels and preprogrammed codes in a “device-based” setup.

When a preprogrammed code is chosen for a component from the Three-Digit Preprogrammed Codes tables which start on page C-18, that code will be applied to one device only.

An “activity-based” configuration centers on what you are doing at the time. If you are watching a DVD on your TV, and are using the RV-8 to control the sound, you may want to start by setting up the DVD device using the preprogrammed method described in the next column, and then add functions from the other devices you will be using while watching your DVD video to the DVD device.

For example, while playing a DVD, to adjust the volume of the RV-8, use the “Punch Through” method described on page C-12to put the RV-8’s volume control into the DVD device. To adjust other functions of

the RV-8 while staying in the DVD device, use the learning method described on page C-7 to add those functions to the DVD device, such as surround sound controls, the receiver's

DVD input code, the TV's power code, etc. In that instance, everything that is needed for watching a DVD on your TV without having to switch back and forth from device to device is available.

All programming is done by first entering the SETUP mode in the remote control. Press both the HOME and ENT (enter) buttons, simultaneously for three seconds to access the SETUP mode shown below. “SETUP” will be displayed at the top of the LCD screen. Specific programming instructions begin on the next page.
