The system Control function or Control Program function does not work properly. • When you program a System Control function or Control Program function, make sure to follow the correct steps (pages 26, 29). • Change the direction the remote commander is aimed. If the problem persists, position the programmed components closer together. • If the remote control receivers of the components are too far apart, or if something is blocking the signals between them, some of the components may not operate in sequence even after you press the programmed button. If some of the components do not operate correctly because of the above or any other reason, position the components back to the way they were before you set the System Control function or Control Program function. Failure to do this can result in incorrect operation when you use these functions again. • Some components may not always be powered on by the System Control function or Control Program function. This is because the power of the component turns on and off alternately when receiving the power on/off signal. In this case, check the operating component's power on/off state before using the system control function. • If you change the AV brands' component code number (page 8) set on a Component Select button that has been programmed for a series of commands by the Control Program function, the new signal will be transmitted when you press the corresponding Component Select button. • The intervals between steps may be too short. Depending on the components, you may need to insert an interval between consecutive controls. You can insert an interval by changing the order of pressing the buttons. (You can insert an interval between steps when programming the Component Select button.) • If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Component Select button has already "learned" a remote control signal (page 14), you can program a System Control function (System Control Macro) or a Control Program function (Component Macro), but the function will not work until you clear the Leaned Function. To clear the Learned function, see "Changing or erasing the function of a "learned" button" on page 20.
