Onkyo TX-SA705 instruction manual 107, Learning Commands

Controlling Other Components—Continued

Learning Commands

The AV receiver/AV amplifier’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 remote controller can learn it, and then transmit the exact same command when its Play [ ] button is pressed in the CD remote mode.

3Point 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.

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

This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate remote control code (page 104) but some buttons don’t work as expected.

1While holding down the REMOTE MODE button for the mode in

which you want to use the com- mand, press the [ON] button.

The Remote indicator lights up.

2Press the button you want to learn the new command.

4To 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 [ ],

TV [INPUT], TV CH [+]/[–], TV VOL []/[ ], Light.

•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- mands at any time by resetting the remote controller (see page 105).

•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.
