Remote Control - Programming

Using Learning

The SRC-C5 includes a Learning feature so you can add functions that are unique to your home entertainment devices (e.g., VCR Tracking Up or Down). The following precautions apply:

•The original remote control must be in working order and available for learning to work properly.

•Learned keys are mode specific, so each one can store a unique function for each mode.

•Do not use the following keys for learning: Device Keys, SET, Back, or Record.

•Learning capacity is approximately 40 to 100 keys, depending on the code being learned.

•Certain device codes are not learnable including multi-frequency types, some high frequency ones, and other unusual formats.

•For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light such as natural sunlight or energy-efficient fluorescent lights.

Programming a learned key

Note: If more than 15 seconds pass between key presses, the remote exits programming.

1.Press and hold SET until LED flashes twice.

2.Press 9-7-5.

3.Press a device key once to assign a mode for learning.

4.Place the SRC-C5 head-to-head (about 2" apart) from your original remote control. Also locate the key (on original remote control) that will serve as the teaching function.

5.On the SRC-C5, press a key where the learned function will be stored.

6.On the original remote, press and hold the the key to be learned. The SRC-C5 LED will turn off. Continue holding the key on the original remote until the SRC-C5 LED blinks twice.

Note: If the LED displays one long blink, a learning error has occurred. Try repeating this step again until a successful capture occurs. If the function is still not captured, press and hold SET to exit programming. Review the learning precautions listed above, or the Troubleshooting tips below, before beginning again at step 1.

7.Repeat steps 4-6 for another key on same device, or repeat steps 1-6 for another device.

Deleting a single learning key

1.Select a source.

2.Press and hold SET until the LED flashes twice.

3.Press 9-7-6.

4.Press the key (twice) containing the learned function to be deleted. The remote blinks twice.

5.Repeat steps 1-4 for another key on the same source, or press and hold SET to exit programming.

Deleting all learned keys in a specific mode

1.Press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice.

2.Press 9-7-6.

3.Press a device key twice to delete all the learned keys for that mode. The LED blinks twice.

4.Repeat steps 1-3 for another set of keys for a device, or press and hold SET to exit programming.

Changing Volume Lock

The SRC-C5 remote is preset to allow independent volume control of each selected device (Global Volume Unlock). However, you may change the Volume Lock setting to Global Volume Lock so that one device’s volume will control volume in all other modes. After that, you can perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to set its volume control for independent operation or Global Volume Unlock to remove all volume locking.

Locking Volume Control to One Mode (Global Volume Lock)

1.Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.

2.Enter 9-9-3 and then press the mode key for the device you want to control volume (e.g., TV). The LED blinks twice. Now when you press VOL+, VOL-, or Mute, the selected device will control the volume regardless of the current mode.

Unlocking All Volume Control (Restoring Global Unlock)

1.Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.

2.Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL+. The LED blinks four times. Volume is independently controlled for all programmed devices.

Unlocking a Single Device’s Volume Control

1.Press a device key (VID, DVD, etc.).

2.Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.

3.Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL-. The LED blinks four times. Volume is independently controlled for the selected devices.
