Code Learning

The learning feature lets you “learn” functions from your original remote control. For example - you may want to use your remote to operate the RANDOM PLAY feature from your original CD remote control. This remote is equipped with an “easy learning” feature that lets you “learn” features (such as RANDOM PLAY from your original CD remote).

Tips On Learning

You can only learn one device type under any one Mode button e.g. only learn TV codes under the TV Mode, VCR codes under the VCR Mode, etc. If you are trying to learn from a “Universal” remote, it might have more than one code type stored under a Mode. Try learning from another remote to see if there’s a problem with the type or brand of remote you are trying to learn from.

a.Some functions from some types of remotes might not be able to be learned.

b.No functions may be stored under LEARN, CODE SEARCH or MACRO buttons.

c.Only one original device type can be learned per individual Mode.

d.Use fresh batteries for both the Learning Remote and the Original Remote.

e.Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low-energy lights when learning.

f.Perform a Master Clear (see page 21) before learning and try learning 2 or 3 commands initially. Then carry out a Master Clear before completely learning your original remote’s commands.

g.Place the original remote end-to-end with the Learning Remote so the IR transmitters on both remotes are directly in line with each other. You may need to adjust the height of either remote to achieve this. Use the IR Transmitter Finder feature to assist you.

h.Keep the distance between the two remotes to approximately 1 inch and do not move or change the distance between the two remotes until you have learned all the required buttons for that Mode.

i.When Learning, do not release the button being Learned until the red indicator has blinked off for half a second.

j.Avoid learning your original remote Volume/Mute buttons unless you are sure these operate the same device e.g. some original DVD remotes include TV Volume/Mute button control and can be two different types of code.
