REMOTE CONTROL "LEARNING" FUNCTION The keys on this remote control transmitter can be programmed to "learn" key-functions from other remote control transmitters. By using this feature, this unit can then be used in place of one or more other remote control transmitters, thus making operation of your various audio and video components more convenient. Use the included user program sheets to indicate a new function learned for each key. Note There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote control transmitter, this unit will not be able to "learn" its signals. To Learn a New Function 1 Set to the "LEARN" position. 2 Press a key on this unit where a new function will be learned. This unit Other remote control transmitter About 5-10 cm (2-4 in.) 3 Press and hold the key (on the other remote control transmitter) where the desired new function is. Notes q When you operate the desired component with this remote control transmitter, TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash steadily. q The originally preset function of a key is still available in the USER position if a new function has not been learned to the key. q Successful learning to a key results in the erasure of previously learned functions and their replacement by the newly learned ones. q If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash two times. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote control transmitters, no further learning is possible. Memory back-up All of the learned functions will be retained while you replace the batteries. However, if no batteries are installed for a few hours, the learned functions will be erased and will have to be learned again. When the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator stops illuminating, the learning is finished. 4 Repeat step 2-3 until all desired functions are successfully learned. 5 Set to the "USER" position. Try operating your components. Blank keys (Refer to page 25.) These keys have no preset functions and are used only for learning other remote control transmitter's functions. YPC-USER-LEARN switch (Refer to page 25.) YPC: Set to this position when using preset key functions (for controlling this unit and/or YAMAHA components). * "YPC" is the abbreviation of YAMAHA Preset Code. USER: Set to this position when using "learned" key functions. LEARN: Set to this position when learning new key functions from other remote control transmitters. RESET button (Refer to page 25.) Press this button to "reset" the internal microcomputer which controls remote control operations. Microcomputer "reset" is necessary when the remote control freezes. * Pressing the RESET button will not erase learned functions. 27
