Onkyo TX-NR708 instruction manual Using Normal Macros, Deleting Learning Commands

Learning Commands

The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the com- 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 1is pressed in the CD remote mode.

This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate remote control code (➔ 79) but some buttons don’t work as expected.

ON

REMOTE

MODE

1 While holding down REMOTE MODE for the mode in which you want to use the command, press and hold down ON until REMOTE MODE button lights (about 3 seconds).

2 On the supplied remote controller, press the but- ton you want to learn the new command.

3 Point the remote controllers at each other, about 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) apart, and then press and hold the button whose command you want to learn until REMOTE MODE button flashes.

If the command is learned successfully, REMOTE MODE button flashes twice.

4 To learn more commands, repeat steps 2 and 3.

Press any REMOTE MODE when you’ve finished. REMOTE MODE button flashes twice.

Note

•The following buttons cannot learn new commands: REMOTE MODE, ALL OFF, MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC.

•The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90 com- mands, 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 controlling 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 (➔ 80).

•To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this proce- dure.

•Depending on the remote controller that you are using, there may be some buttons that won’t work as expected, or even some remotes that cannot be learned at all.

•Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be learned.

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

■Deleting Learning Commands

1.While holding down REMOTE MODE for the mode in which you want to delete the command, press and hold down TV 9until REMOTE MODE button lights (about 3 seconds).

2.Press REMOTE MODE or the button from which you want to delete the commands.

REMOTE MODE button flashes twice.

When you press REMOTE MODE, all commands learned in that remote mode will be deleted.

Using Normal Macros

You can program the remote controller’s ACTIVITIES to perform a sequence of remote control actions.

Example:

To play a CD you typically need to perform the following actions:

1.Press RECEIVER to select the Receiver remote con- troller mode.

2.Press ON to turn on the AV receiver.

3.Press TV/CD to select the TV/CD input source.

4.Press 1to start playback on the CD player.

You can program ACTIVITIES so that all four actions are performed with just one button press.
