The Remote Control
Learning IR Codes
The iPronto RC sends out infrared (IR) signals to your devices, which will execute an action, for example “TV On” or
“VCR Start Recording”.
For every action the iPronto sends out a specific IR signal, called an “IR code”.
The iPronto RC contains a huge database that contains numerous IR codes for all
kinds of devices.
The iPronto RC is set up by default to operate Philips and compatible
devices. If you have other brands, the iPronto has to “learn” the
specific IR codes for your device from the conventional RC that
accompanies the device. This means that you press the button on the
conventional RC and point it at the iPronto’s learning eye: distance: 4-8 inches
