Code Learning Your remote is equipped with an easy "learning" feature that lets it "learn" features (such as RANDOM PLAY from your original CD remote). Tips On Learning You can only learn one device type under any one mode button e.g. only learn TV codes under the TV mode, VCR codes under the VCR mode, etc. If you are trying to learn from a "universal" type original remote, it might have more than one code type stored under a mode. Try learning from another remote to see if there's a problem with the type or band of remote you are trying to learn from. Keep the following in mind about learning codes. • Some functions from some types of remotes might not be able to be learned. • No functions may be learned under the LEARN, SETUP, and SELECT keys. • Use fresh batteries for both your new remote and your original remote. • Keep at least 3 feet away from incandescent or lowenergy lights when learning. • Place the original remote end-to-end with your new remote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your original remote points at the IR learning device on the bottom of your new remote. • Keep the distance between the two remotes to approximately 1 inch. • Line up the remotes and then press the key you want to learn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remote you are learning. Do not change the distance between the two remotes until you have learned all the required keys. • When Learning, do not release the button being Learned until the indicator has blinked off for half a second. However, some keys might be learned multiple times if you do this. If this happens, just "tap" the key you want to learn rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that you normally hold down for awhile (like volume up or down) will likely require a long press when learning. Tips On Learning (cont.) • Keys that you normally give a quick press (like the numbers, and channel up/down) will likely require a quick press when learning. If after learning, say, the channel-up key, you find that it changes multiple channels when pressed once, try relearning it with a short key press. • If learning the first or second keys results in continuous errors, then try the following: 1. Check that the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly aligned between the two remotes (see next page). 2. Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer (1/2 an inch) or further away (2 inches) from each other. 3. Try learning the original remote keys again. 4. If problems reoccur with the same button, check the original remote key being learned - does it transmit? Does it operate the target device? 5. Clear all learned settings and try learning again. If problems reoccur with the same button, check the original remote button being learned to see if there is transmission. Try learning that button under a different cleared mode, if necessary. If the remote learns, then this situation is likely a different code type from others and cannot be learned under the same mode. 14 15
