Using the Remote Control The Learning Feature Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV's remote control is programmed to control other devices you have connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that device mode. After you program the TV's remote control to operate the other device, the TV's remote provides most of the operations you need. However, there may be some functions on the device's original remote control that your TV's remote control doesn't have. For example, your DVD remote control might have an ANGLE button that enables you to change the angle of the picture, but your TV remote doesn't have that button. 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 device 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: device buttons (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CAB, AUX, 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 device because programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that device 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. • 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 specific-if you add a button function from your DVD player's remote control, you must press the DVD button first before the learned function will work (in TV mode, the button where you've stored the learned function will continue to work as it always has). 38 Chapter 2

Using the Remote Control
The
Learning Feature
Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV’s remote control is programmed to control
other devices you have connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all learned
commands for that device mode.
After you program the TV’s remote control to operate the other device, the TV’s remote provides
most of the operations you need. However, there may be some functions on the device’s original
remote control that your TV’s remote control doesn’t have. For example, your DVD remote control
might have an ANGLE button that enables you to change the angle of the picture, but your TV
remote doesn’t have that button. 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 device to
that mode.
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: device
buttons (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CAB, AUX, 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
device because programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that device
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.
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 specific—if you add a button function from your DVD player’s
remote control, you must press the DVD button first before the learned function will work
(in TV mode, the button where you’ve stored the learned function will continue to work as it
always has).
