Learning Commands

The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the commands of other remote controllers. By transmitting, for example, the Play command from your CD player’s remote controller, the supplied remote controller can learn it and then reproduce the exact same command when its 1is pressed in CD remote mode.

This is useful when some buttons don’t work as expected though you entered the appropriate remote control code (page 85).

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

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

Note

The following buttons cannot learn new commands:

8RECEIVER, ALL OFF, MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC, REMOTE MODE, 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, and Pause 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

(page 86).

To overwrite a previously acquired command, repeat this procedure.

Depending on the remote controller used, some buttons may not respond as expected, or the learning process itself may not be possible.

Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be acquired.

Controlling Other Components

When the remote controller runs out of batteries, all commands acquired will be lost and will have to be learned all over again. Therefore, do not discard your other remote controllers.

Deleting Acquired Commands

1.While holding down the REMOTE MODE button for the mode from which you want to delete a command, press and hold down 8TV until the REMOTE MODE button lights (about 3 seconds).

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

The REMOTE MODE button flashes twice. When you press the REMOTE MODE button, all commands learned in that mode will be deleted.
