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 126) but some buttons don’t work as expected.

	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 [		]
	buttons 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

• 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

controlling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and

DVD players. However, they can learn new com-

mands, and you can restore the preprogrammed com-

• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat

this procedure.

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.
