RCA J26L637L manual IR Mode, IR red Buttons

Other Information

Status Press and hold the INFO button for several seconds to display settings stored in the ClonePRO™ and the TV. For example, Mem: CB:36 TV:36. This tells you the ClonePRO and the TV have 36 pages of information stored in memory.

Across the screen are red dashes. Press any button on the remote control you are using. Red pulses should appear, telling you the TV is recognizing the remote and is able to send out that information. If red pulses don’t appear, contact your RCA distributor.

TEACH This begins the process of teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO™ to the TV to which it is connected.

Note: Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.

After successful teaching, the TV will turn off and reboot.

If the memory-image stored in the clone-box is not valid for the TV, an on-screen message will advise of the conflicting memory-sizes.

IR Mode

The ClonePRO enters the IR mode when any button on the bottom row of the keypad is pressed (without connection to a TV DSCI port). A standard 9V battery (accessed via a small rear panel) is required to enable this mode.

Notes: Like any IR (infrared) remote control, the ClonePRO™ requires a reasonable line of sight between it and the TV for proper signaling. Obstructions, long distances, sharp angles and certain specialty lighting can reduce the effective range.

If the “IR ready” light stays on longer than 1 minute by itself, temporarily remove the battery to reset it.

Remove the battery prior to long-term storage.

IR (red) Buttons

Note: You must press the ON button for the IR buttons to operate.

Master+ & Master- The Master- button disables access to the TV’s master menus via the master remote. (Some third-party devices, attached to the TV’s DSCI port as part of a larger system, may disable access to master menus even after they are disconnected.) To enable the master menus, press Master+.

OFF Turns the TV off, and turns the ClonePRO™ off.

ON Turns the TV on, and turns on the ClonePRO™ IR mode, ready for subsequent buttons. Note that the unit will automatically turn itself off 30 seconds after the last button has been pressed to extend battery-life.

TEACH Begins teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO™ to the TV, effectively “Cloning” the initially configured TV. May be made more reliable for older models by first filling the memory of the example TV with channel-labels on unused channels.

After an IR TEACH, older-model TVs do not need to reboot.

Note: Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.
