Using the Remote Control
The Learning Feature
Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV’s remote control is programmed to control other components you have connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that component mode.
After you program the TV’s remote control to operate the other component, the TV’s remote provides most of the operations you need. However, there may be some functions on the component’s original remote control that your TV’s remote control doesn’t have. For example, your HDTV tuner remote control might have a ZOOM button that enables you to enlarge the picture, but your HDTV Monitor remote doesn’t have a zoom button for HDTV tuners. The learning feature enables you to record the functionality of a specific button from the original remote control to one of the TV’s remote control buttons.
Note: All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a different component to that mode.
Up to 2 inches apart
Adding a Learned Function
There are several things to consider before you begin the learning process:
•You can’t record a learned function to the following buttons on the TV’s remote control: component buttons (TV, VCR, DVD, AUX/HD, and AUDIO), the CLEAR button, and the LIGHT button.
•Before adding a Learned Function, you must program this TV’s remote control to operate that component because programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that component mode.
•Do the learning process in low light areas because too much natural light or fluorescent light might cause the learning feature to fail because the remote control functions are recorded (learned) by sending infrared (IR) signals.
•The TV’s remote and the original remote should be no more than 2 inches apart.
