Code Learning
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, DVD codes under the DVD
Mode, etc. If you are trying to learn from a “Universal” 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 brand of
remote you are trying to learn from.
a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not be able to
be learned.
b. No functions may be stored under the SETUP button.
c. Only one original device type can be learned per individual Mode.
d. Use fresh batteries for both the Learning Remote and the Original
Remote.
e. Do not attempt to Learn directly under an incandescent or
low-energy light as these can cause interference with the IR
transmissions. Keep at least 3 feet away from any such light sources.
f. Perform a Master Clear (see page 22) before learning and try learning
2 or 3 commands initially. Then carry out a Master Clear before
completely learning your original remote’s commands.
g. Carry out a “Mode Clear” before learning a Mode to make sure there
are no previously learned commands for that Mode.
h. Place the original remote end-to-end with the Learning Remote so
the IR transmitters on both remotes are directly in line with each
other. You may need to adjust the height of either remote to achieve
this.
i. Keep the distance between the two remotes to approximately 1 inch
and do not move or change the distance between the two remotes
until you have learned all the required buttons for that Mode.
j. Avoid learning your original remote Volume/Mute buttons unless
you are sure these operate the same device e.g. some original DVD
remotes include TV Volume/Mute button control and can be two
different types of code.
k. Avoid learning your original remote VCR or DVD buttons unless
you are sure these operate the same device e.g. some original TV
remotes include VCR or DVD button control and can be two different
types of code.
l. Learning a button can take up to 3 seconds. Do not release the button
being Learned until SUCCESS or LEARN ERROR has been displayed.
