You program the Remote Control (RC)
commands by transmitting
IR (infrared) signals from your
existing remote controls to the
RC9500’s learning IR eye.
To do this, place the RC9500 and
the device’s remote control on a flat
surface, 1 to 10cm (0.5 to 3.6 inches)
apart. For 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 IR eye LED and
the RC9500’s learning IR 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
RC9500 will say “OK”, yet the command will not operate the
component properly. If this occurs, try re-learning 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 commands that change the states continuously (example:
Vol. +/-, Ch. +/-) have to be learned using the “press and hold”
technique.
The following buttons can be programmed: Hard and Soft
buttons (buttons in the devices and the Device Overview pages).
