Onkyo TX-NR1000 instruction manual 136, Learning Commands from Another Remote Controller

Using the Remote Controller with Other Components—Continued

Learning Commands from Another Remote Controller

You can teach the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E’s remote controller new commands simply by transmitting com- mands from another remote controller one at a time. For example, by transmitting the Play and Stop commands from your CD player’s remote controller, the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E’s remote controller can be taught to transmit those commands when its Play [ ] and Stop [ ] buttons are pressed in CD mode.

This is convenient when you want to add commands to buttons after entering a remote control code (See page 129).

1		Press and hold the [CUSTOM] but-
		ton for more than three seconds.
	CUSTOM	The remote controller enters Custom
		mode.
2		Roll the scroll wheel to select
		“LEARN,” and then press the
		scroll wheel.

3	Roll the scroll wheel to select the
	the remote controller mode you
	want to teach a new command,
	and then press the scroll wheel.

4	On the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E’s
	remote controller, press the button
	you want to teach the new com-
	mand.

If you press a button that cannot be taught a new command, the message “RETRY” appears and you should press another button.

5	Point the remote controllers at
	each other, about 2 to 6 inches (5–
	15 cm) apart, and then, on the
	other remote controller, press the
	button whose command you want
	to learn.
	When the command has been learned
	successfully, “OK” appears on the dis-
	play. You may need to press the button
	several times.

If the command is not learned success- fully, after the message “FAIL” has been displayed, the mode select display reap- pears (step 3), and you should try again.

6	To teach the TX-NR1000/
	TX-NR5000E’s remote controller
	more new commands, repeat
	steps 3 through 5.
	Press the [CUSTOM] button when
	you’ve finished.

Notes:

•The following buttons cannot be taught new com- mands: [LIGHT], [CUSTOM], [MACRO], [MODE], [INPUT], [ZONE 2], [ZONE 3], and the scroll wheel button.

•The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E’s remote controller can learn a total of 150 commands. However, the commands of some remote controllers may use a lot of memory, in which case, this total will be reduced.

•If the message “FULL” appears, the remote control- ler cannot learn any more commands because its memory is full.

•By default, the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E’s remote controller knows the commands for controlling an Onkyo CD player, cassette deck, DVD player, and MD recorder (e.g., Play, Stop, Pause, etc., buttons). You can teach these buttons new commands, although the defaults will be restored if the remote controller is reset.

•To teach a new command to a button that has already been taught a command, simply repeat this proce- dure.

•Like most remote controllers, the TX-NR1000/ TX-NR5000E’s remote controller uses infrared. Commands from remote controllers that don’t use infrared cannot be learned.

•When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all learned commands will be lost and will have to learned all over again, so don’t discard your other remote controllers.
