Learning IR command

 

 

You program the RC (Remote Control)

 

 

commands by transmitting

 

 

IR (infrared) signals from your

 

 

existing remote controls to the

 

 

RC5400’s learning eye.

 

 

To do this, place the RC5400 and

 

 

1 to 10 cm apart

 

the device’s remote control on a flat

(0.5 to 3.6 inches)

 

 

 

surface, 1 to 10cm (0.5 to 3.6 inches)

 

 

 

 

apart. With each new remote control,

 

 

you have to find the correct learning distance.

 

It is best to be systematic and teach all of the buttons from one remote control before proceeding to the next. Start with the remotes close together; if you receive a Failed message, move them farther apart in one inch increments. Although rare, some component remotes require

a very large distance between the sending LED and the RC5400’s learning eye.

Test the first command from any new remote control to find the correct learning distance.

Once you have found the correct learning distance, do not change it for any other button on that particular remote control.

Most commands learn correctly when you press and hold them until the OK indicator appears. However, sometimes the RC5400 will say OK , yet the command will not operate the component properly. If this occurs, try re-teaching the command with a brief tap. After a short delay the OK indicator will appear. Test the code. If this improves operation, continue to use the tap technique for all other buttons on the remote. The only buttons that you MUST use the press and hold technique for are buttons that you will press and hold when you are operating the component (i.e. Volume Up/Down, Scan, etc.).

The following buttons can be programmed: Soft buttons (operation page buttons, device buttons) and Hard buttons.
