B. Learning Method
You can program the MX-500
TM
to operate a device by
ÒteachingÓ the correct commands to device buttons on the
main screen menu, the two sub-pages within each device
button, 31 buttons and the joystick located in the middle of
the remote control. The MX-500
TM
learns these commands
by receiving infrared signals directly from your existing
remote controls. The MX-500
TM
receives these signals
through its learning eye, located at the top of the unit.
Apart from the PAGE, MAIN and FAV buttons, which
cannot be taught, the MX-500
TM
has the capability of
learning up to 530 commands.
Tip: Function buttons are any buttons that can be assigned
a command to control a particular action for your device.
Commonly used function buttons include the two pages of
sub-commands within each of the 10 devices, channel up
and down, volume up and down, menu, guide, exit, info,
0-9, and the joystick.

eye at the top end of the case and is not at an angle.
l
Make sure both remotesÕ batteries aren't low.

Avoid programming the MX-500

under bright lighting.
It can interfere with the infrared signals.
l
Try again. Sometimes the second or third attempt works.

Some buttons require a single, short push of the original
remote's button, other ÒrepeatingÓ buttons, such as the
VOL button, require that you Òpress and holdÓ the original
