CONFIGURING THE REMOTE on the menu screen (Figure 20) one at a time, starting with the "1" button. After you press the "1" Button k, the remote's LCD screen will briefly go blank as the code is being transmitted, but you will see the "transmit" icon in the upper right corner of the display to serve as confirmation that the remote is sending out commands. PRESS A NUMBER CODE 1 OF 10 Figure 20 8. After you press and release the number key, watch the device being programmed to see whether it turns off. As shown in the instructions that will appear on the next menu screen (Figure 21), if your device has turned off, press the Set Button p, and then skip to Step 10. If the unit does not turn off, proceed to the next step. POWER OFF? Y:SET N: NEXT# OR CLR Figure 21 9. If the device being programmed into the DPR remote does not turn off after you have pressed the "1" key, continue Steps 8 and 9 by pressing the available numeric keys shown until the device turns off. If the device still does not turn off after all choices have been tried, or if there is only one number key shown as available to try, the code for this specific device is not in the DPR remote library under that brand name. If that is the case, press the Clear Button j to exit the manual programming mode. Remember that the codes may still be stored in the DPR remote's library under another brand, and you can have the remote control search for them by following the instructions below for automatic programming. You may also manually "learn" the codes for most devices into the DPR remote by following the Learning Commands instructions on page 34. 10. When the device being programmed does turn off after a numeric key has been pressed, you must press the Set Button p within five seconds to enter the setting into the remote's memory. After you press the Set button, the top line of the LCD display will read SAVING... and then the word SAVED will flash four times in the center of the bottom line. 11. When the codes are saved the remote will return to normal operation, and whenever you press the Input Selector Button d that was just programmed, the codes for the new device will be used. If no further buttons are pressed, the remote will revert back to the default setting for AVR commands. NOTE: Some brands share a common remote control code for "Power Off" for many models. For that reason it is possible that even though the remote appears to be properly programmed, you may find that some buttons do not appear to issue the correct command. If this is the case, repeat the procedure outlined above, but if more than one numeric key selection is suggested in Step 7, try a different number to see whether the remote operates correctly. Although the DPR remote is preprogrammed with an extensive library of codes for many major brands, it is also possible that you may have attempted to program a product that is too new or too old, and thus not all of its commands will be in the code library. You may fill in the codes for any button that does not operate properly by using the learning technique shown on page 34. Automatic Code Entry In addition to manual code selection using the brand name list, it is also possible to automatically search through all the codes that are stored in the DPR remote's library to see whether a device will respond even if it is not listed among the brands that appear when you program the remote manually. To automatically search through the codes that are available for a specific device type (e.g., DVD, VCR), follow these steps: 1. Turn on the power to the device you wish to program into the DPR remote. This is important, as in a later step you will need to see whether the device turns off to determine whether the remote has been programmed for the proper remote codes. 2. Press and hold the Program Button y for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 15 appears in the remote's LCD Information Display c. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button p appears. 3. The remote's MAIN MENU message (Figure 16) will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button p will remain illuminated in red. Press the Set Button p to begin the process of selecting a device and locating the proper remote codes. 4. SELECT A DEVICE will appear in the LCD display (Figure 17). Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons n to scroll through the list of device categories and press the Set Button p when the device for which you wish to set the codes appears. For this example, we will select "TV" to enter the codes needed to operate your TV. 5. At the next menu screen on the remote (Figure 18), press the ⁄ Navigation Button n so that the bottom line of the LCD display reads AUTO (Figure 22) and then press the Set Button p to enter the Automatic programming mode. PROGRAM DEVICE AUTO Figure 22 6. As instructed on the next menu screen, press the ⁄ Navigation Button n to begin the automatic code search process. Your confirmation that the remote is sending out commands is the movement of a square block across the top line of the LCD display screen while the bottom line reads PLEASE WAIT.... You will also see the transmit icon in the upper right corner of the LCD display's top line to remind you that the remote is working even though you may not see anything happening to the device being programmed. 7. It will take a few seconds for the remote to send out the first group of commands, after which you will see a new display in the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 23. Following the instructions, if the device being programmed has not turned off, press the ⁄ Navigation Button n again to send another group of codes. If the device being programmed has turned off, skip to Step 9. POWER OFF? Y-> 1~0 N-> Figure 23 8. By pressing the ⁄ Navigation Buttons n again, the remote will send out a new set of commands. When it pauses, follow the instructions shown in Step 7. Depending on how many codes are stored for a specific device type, you may have to repeat this process as many as fifteen times. Remember, if the device turns off, skip to Step 9. When all the codes for the device being programmed have been tried, the instruction shown in Figure 24 will appear. This means that the codes for the product you are trying to program are not in the DPR remote library and you will have to "learn" them into the remote following the instructions shown on page 34. Press the Set Button p as instructed to exit the programming process. REACH END POINT EXIT -> SET KEY Figure 24 9. If the device being programmed does turn off after following the instructions in Step 7, you will need to verify the code set by pressing the Numeric Keys k in sequence, as instructed in Figure 23. Point the remote at the device being programmed, and press the "1" Button k to see whether the device turns back on. CONFIGURING THE REMOTE 33
