Set up Rooms & AV Devices: AV Devices
A For each room, add all devices you want to control with the RC9800i (fig. 1). For
each device that you add, a number of additional questions will be asked.
B Device type
You can choose any of the below types of devices (fig. 2):
Amplifier Media Center PC
CD (CDR) player PVR (DVR, Tivo, Replay TV, …)
Cable Box (no PVR) Projector
DVD Player Receiver (Amplifier + Tuner)
DVDR (+HDD) Satellite Receiver (no PVR)
DVD - VCR TV
Game Console Tuner (Radio)
Home Cinema / Home Theater VCR
Media Adapter
Note: If you are adding a cable box or satellite receiver that is equipped with a PVR function, please
choose ‘PVR’.
C Brand selection
Use the alphabet buttons to jump to the appropriate brand list (fig. 3).
Note: These buttons work like buttons on a cell phone: press a button once to jump to a brand list starting with
the first character, press it twice for a list that starts with the second character, three times for the third
character, and so on.
Select the brand of the device and choose Next.
D Model number
Enter a model number if you have this information (fig. 4). If you don’t have this
information, leave the text field blank and choose Next.
Note: If you have multiple devices of the same brand and type, we strongly advise you to fill out the model
number. This way, the RC9800i will automatically copy all relevant device information when you add the next
device of the same type, saving you setup time.
E Remote control codes
The RC9800i uses an infrared sensor to learn infrared codes. This sensor is
located at the top of the RC9800i and is marked with two white bars. When
learning IR codes, make sure that:
■ You aim your device’s original remote control to the RC9800i’s infrared
sensor. Keep it at a distance of approximately 5 cm / 2 inches (fig. 5);
■ You aim at the area between the two white stripes at the top of the RC9800i;
■ You press the button on your original remote control for about 2 seconds;
■ You point the RC9800i away from lighting sources like fluorescent lamps.
There are 3 different ways to learn the remote control codes used by your AV
device (fig. 6):
■ If you have the original remote control for the device, choose Learn & Match.
■ If you don’t have the original remote control or if Learn & Match didn’t find
matching remote control codes, choose Autoscan.
■ If neither Learn & Match or Autoscan found matching codes, choose
Select & Try.
