Using the Remote Control
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, SAT/CAB, 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.
Up to 2 inches apart
•In order to record (learn) a function from one remote to the other, you must make sure the Infrared (IR) transmitter of the original remote is facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV’s remote (see illustration). To accomplish this, you may have to hold a remote in each hand instead of laying both on the table.
•The learned buttons are mode
1.Press and hold the component button on the TV’s remote that applies to the function you will be adding (DVD, VCR, SAT/CAB, AUDIO, or AUX/HD). The component button lights.
2.On the TV remote, press and hold the RECORD button.
3.Keep pressing both of the buttons (the component button and the RECORD button) until the component button light turns off, flashes, and turns off. Release both buttons.
4.On the TV’s remote control, press and release the button where you want to store the new function (the component button turns off and then back on).
Note: If you press an invalid button on the TV remote, one of the component button flashes 4 times to alert you. You’ll have to repeat step 4.
5.With the remote controls facing each other and no more than 2 inches apart, press and hold the button of the component’s remote control that has the functionality you are recording to the TV’s remote control. Keep pressing the button until the TV remote’s component button light turns off and back on (the function has been saved to the TV remote). If all component buttons flash 4 times, the function wasn’t learned. Try again starting with Step 4.
6.The TV remote control remains in “learning mode” so you can continue adding functions to different buttons by repeating steps 4 and 5. Or, press CLEAR to exit learning mode.
Notes: If you want a new function on a button, you must record (learn) over it.
The amount of memory each learned function uses in the TV’s remote control varies. If your TV remote is out of memory, the component button(s) light flashes 4 times and turns off, exiting you from the Learning mode.
