You program the RC (Remote Control)
commands by transmitting
IR (infrared) signals from your
existing remote controls to the
RC5400’s learning eye.
To do this, place the RC5400 and
the device’s remote control on a flat
surface, 1 to 10cm (0.5 to 3.6 inches)
apart. With each new remote control,
you have to find the correct learning distance.
It is best to be systematic and teach all of
the buttons from one remote control before
proceeding to the next. Start with the remotes
close together; if you receive a Failed message,
move them farther apart in one inch increments.
Although rare, some component remotes require
a very large distance between the sending LED and
the RC5400’s learning eye.
Test the first command from any new remote control to find the
correct learning distance.
Once you have found the correct learning distance, do not
change it for any other button on that particular remote control.
Most commands learn correctly when you press and hold them
until the OK indicator appears. However, sometimes the
RC5400 will say OK , yet the command will not operate the
component properly. If this occurs, try re-teaching the command
with a brief tap. After a short delay the OK indicator will
appear. Test the code. If this improves operation, continue to
use the tap technique for all other buttons on the remote. The
only buttons that you MUST use the press and hold technique
for are buttons that you will press and hold when you are
operating the component (i.e. Volume Up/Down, Scan, etc.).
The following buttons can be programmed: Soft buttons
(operation page buttons, device buttons) and Hard buttons.
