Controlling Other Components-Continued Learning Commands The AV controller's remote controller can learn the commands of other remote controllers. By transmitting, for example, the Play command from your CD player's remote controller, the remote controller can learn it, and then transmit the exact same command when its Play [ ] button is pressed in the CD remote mode. This is useful when you've entered the appropriate remote control code (page 116) but some buttons don't work as expected. 1 1, 4 ON STANDBY TV INPUT DVD 1 VCR/DVR CBL/SAT 2 3 GAME/TV AUX1 AUX2 4 5 6 + TV CH - TAPE TUNER CD 7 8 9 PHONO D.

Press any REMOTE MODE button when you've finished. Notes: • The following buttons cannot learn new commands: REMOTE MODE, MACRO [1], [2], [3], TV CH [+]/[- ], Re-EQ, LIGHT. • When you want to learn the command from your TV's Power button, select the TV remote control mode and use the remote controller's [STANDBY] button to learn the command. In the TV remote control mode, the remote controller's [STANDBY] and TV [ ] buttons are linked, so using the [STANDBY] button to learn the command will mean that you can also use the TV [ ] button to turn your TV on or off in TV remote control mode. • When you want to learn the commands from your TV's Channel Up and Down buttons, select the TV remote control mode and use the remote controller's CH [+/-] button (left to the [ENTER] button) to learn the commands. In the TV remote control mode, the remote controller's CH [+/-] and TV CH [+]/[-] buttons are linked, so using the CH [+/-] button to learn these commands will mean that you can also use the TV CH [+]/[-] buttons to change channels in TV remote control mode. • The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90 commands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot of memory are learned. • Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause, and so on are preprogrammed with commands for controlling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and DVD players. However, they can learn new commands, and you can restore the preprogrammed commands at any time by resetting the remote controller (see page 117). • To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this procedure. • Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be learned. • When the remote controller's batteries expire, all learned commands will be lost and will have to be learned all over again, so don't discard your other remote controllers. 119
