Programming Device Action (Home Buttons)
Note When you teach a command as a Device Action, this command
is automatically assigned to the corresponding button in the
Home menu and to the act of selecting the Device from the pull
down Device Menu. Typically, you teach the preamp/receiver
source selection or “input” command to the device action.
Remember, the only way to NOT issue this command is to
reveal the device menu, press and hold the LEFT hard key (now
labeled NOIR) and select the device.
1 Make sure the device tab is active.
The device tab is active when the name of a device is displayed.
2 Switch to Learn mode via the Mode button .
3 Point the device’s original remote control to the RC5000i’s
learning eye as described above.
4 Tap the device tab to open the Device menu.
5 Touch and hold either the RC5000i’s Left or Right button (now
labeled Device) and tap the device you want to program.
Even when you want to program the currently active device, you
have to tap it in the Device menu.
The label “device” starts flashing on the RC5000i icon.
6 Press and hold the button the RC5000i has to learn on your
device’s original remote control.
If the RC5000i has learned the command successfully, OK
flashes on the display. You can let go of the button you’re
holding.
If the RC5000i has not learned the command successfully, you
hear a short buzz and FAIL appears on the RC5000i icon.
7 Program all other items you want and return to Use mode via
the Mode button.
