Programming the Commands of Other Remote Control Units into the Remote Controller

This remote controller features a learning function that allows you to program the remote codes of other remote control units for more singular control of your home entertainment system. A number of commands can be programmed for operation for when the remote controller is in DVD mode and when it is in Receiver mode. Please follow the procedure in this section to program your remote controller to your preferences.

Programming procedure

The first step in the procedure is to determine whether the new command is to be learned in the DVD mode or in the Receiver mode. Generally speaking, this should be decided by the command being learned. After deciding which mode is to be used, you will then transfer the individual commands from the other remote control unit to the RC-438DV remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to one of the available buttons on the RC-438DV remote controller.

Even after the commands have been programmed, keep the other remote control unit in a safe place in the case that the programmed commands should be lost (e.g., when the batteries run down). If the commands are lost, it will then be necessary to program them again.

While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button (DVD or RECVR) on the remote controller, press SEARCH and then release both buttons.

When you press and hold down the desired MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights up. When you press SEARCH, the indicator turns off. When you release both buttons, the indicator lights up again.

Press and release the button on the remote controller to which you want to transfer the new command.

The buttons that can be selected in this step depend on the mode. Refer to the shaded areas in the illustrations below to determine what buttons can be programmed in each mode.

If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times and the remote controller exits the programming mode. When this is the case, start again at step 1.
