Learning Commands

The AV controller’s remote controller can learn the com-

If the command is learned successfully, the Remote indicator flashes twice.

R

mands of other remote controllers. By transmitting, for example, the Play command from your CD player’s remote controller, the remote controller can learn it, and then transmit the exact same command when its Play [ ] button is pressed in the CD remote mode.

This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate remote control code (page 116) but some buttons don’t work as expected.

4	To learn more commands, repeat
	steps 2 and 3.
	Press any REMOTE MODE button
	when you’ve finished.

Notes:

• The following buttons cannot learn new commands:
REMOTE MODE, MACRO [1], [2], [3], TV CH [+]/[–
], Re-EQ, LIGHT.
• When you want to learn the command from your TV’s
Power button, select the TV remote control mode and
use the remote controller’s [STANDBY] button to learn
the command. In the TV remote control mode, the
remote controller’s [STANDBY] and TV [		] but-
tons are linked, so using the [STANDBY] button to
learn the command will mean that you can also use the
TV [	] button to turn your TV on or off in TV
remote control mode.
• When you want to learn the commands from your TV’s
Channel Up and Down buttons, select the TV remote
control mode and use the remote controller’s CH [+/–]

button (left to the [ENTER] button) to learn the com-

mands. In the TV remote control mode, the remote con-

troller’s CH [+/–] and TV CH [+]/[–] buttons are linked,

so using the CH [+/–] button to learn these commands

will mean that you can also use the TV CH [+]/[–] but-

tons to change channels in TV remote control mode.

• The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90

commands, although this will be less if commands that

use a lot of memory are learned.

• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause,

and so on are preprogrammed with commands for con-

trolling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and DVD

players. However, they can learn new commands, and

you can restore the preprogrammed commands at any

time by resetting the remote controller (see page 117).

2	Press the button you want to
	learn the new command.
3	Point the remote controllers at
	each other, about 2 to 6 inches
	(5–15 cm) apart, and then press
	and hold the button whose com-
	mand you want to learn until the
	Remote indicator flashes.

• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this

procedure.

• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can

be learned.

• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all

learned commands will be lost and will have to be

learned all over again, so don’t discard your other

remote controllers.
