RCR460_NA_IB_.qxd 3/2/06 9:50 AM Page 6 Programming Methods (continued) 3. Press and hold the component key (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) you wish to program. (To program the VCR·AUX key to control a component other than a VCR, see page 7.) The name of the chosen component illuminates and remains on. If you release the component key any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the illuminated component name turns off, and the process is exited. The last programmed code under the component key is retained. 4. While holding down the component key, consult the Code Lists for the four-digit code that corresponds to your component's brand and use the number keys (0-9) on the keypad to enter it. After you press the first number, the illuminated component name turns off. (NAME LIGHTS UP) (LIGHT OFF) 5. After the fourth number is entered, the illuminated component name turns on. At this time, release the component key. If the illuminated component name turns off, you have entered a valid code and have followed the correct procedure for Direct Code Entry. If you enter a code number that is not in the Code Lists or you do not follow all of the steps for Direct Code Entry, the illuminated component name blinks four times when the component key is released. This is an indication that a programming error has occurred. In that case, repeat the Direct Code Entry process from step 3 and try the next code listed. ! TIP Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently programming the remote to control. 6. To confirm that the component key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, test the component. Attempt to control a variety of the component's functions with the remote. If some of the features of your components do not work, try programming the remote with a different code in the list until you find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of your component's functions. Different codes can provide different levels of functionality. 7. Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual. (See page 10.) Manual Code Search and Entry If your component's brand isn't listed in the Code Lists, or if you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote does not operate your component, try one of the Code Search methods below-Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search. Both Code Search methods cycle through all of the codes in the Code Lists in the event that your component's code is listed under another brand. The Manual Code Search method may take a long time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory for the code that operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code Entry method described on pages 4-6. Example used is for TV component set up. ! TIP To exit without saving at any point in the Manual Code Search, press and release the GO BACK key. 1. Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control (TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver or cable box). 2. Press and hold the component key (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) you wish to program. (To program the VCR·AUX key to control a component other than a VCR, see page 7.) The illuminated component name turns on and remains on. 6 3. While holding the component key down, press and hold the ON·OFF key. The illuminated component name turns off. 4. After holding down both keys for three seconds, all of the component names illuminate and stay on. 5. Release both keys. The name of the current component remains on, while all other component names turn off. (NAME NOT LIT) (NAMES LIGHTS UP) (STAYS LIT) Note: If you press an invalid key during Manual Code Search, the remote does not respond and the search times out after two minutes. When the search times out, the illuminated component name blinks four times and turns off. The last programmed code under that component key is retained. ! TIP Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently programming the remote to control. Continued on page 8. Programming the VCR·AUX Key To Control a Component Other Than a VCR The VCR·AUX key defaults to control a VCR. If you want the VCR·AUX key to control a different component (an additional TV, DVD, satellite or cable box, for example), it is necessary for you to preprogram the VCR·AUX key. 1. Locate the correct code from the Code List enclosed. If you want to program the VCR·AUX key to control an additional TV, for example, you will need the code (NAME LIGHTS UP) for that TV. You can only program the VCR·AUX key through Direct Code Entry. (See the section on Code Retrieval if you do not know the correct code.) 2. Press and hold the VCR·AUX key. VCR·AUX lights up. 3. While holding down the VCR·AUX key, press and release the number key on the keypad for the component you wish to control. (See the chart below.) The illuminated component name turns off. VCR·AUX KEY CONTROLS: Additional TV VCR Additional DVD Additional satellite or cable box press 1 press 2 press 3 press 5 (NAME BLINKS) (LIGHT OFF) 4. Release the VCR·AUX key. The illuminated component name blinks four times and then turns off. The VCR·AUX key is now "set" to control whichever component you selected. 5. Next, program the VCR·AUX key to control the brand of component you have. Remember to consult the appropriate component code list. For instance, if you have programmed the VCR·AUX key to control an additional DVD, consult the DVD Code List. Program the key to control your component with the Code List enclosed. 7
