Using the ClonePRO™
Modes of operation
The ClonePRO operates from one of two modes:
DSCI Connect a DSCI cable to the ClonePRO and to the TV’s DSCI port on the back panel.
IR The wireless operation. Press ON to begin using the remote in IR mode.
The corresponding “ready” light indicates the mode of operation, and the corresponding “busy” light indicates
activity in this mode.
Buttons with black labels function similarly in both modes, while green labels operate DSCI mode and red labels
operate IR mode.
Note: Model J25400 can be cloned in IR mode from an RCA commercial model with DSCI port. Information cannot be copied from
the J25400 to other TVs.
DSCI mode
The ClonePRO enters this mode when it is connected to the TV’s Digital Serial Communications Interface port
(“SmartPlug”) via a cable (included).
• Any standard (no-flip, 1-to-1) 8-conductor computer-networking cable may be used.
• No battery is required in this mode.
• If the unit is already in IR mode, press OFF to speed the transition to DSCI mode.
DSCI (green) buttons
Comm Restores the TV to normal commercial operation, essentially undoing the effect of the Legacy and
Decom buttons.
Decom “Decommercializes” the TV to facilitate aftermarket resale.
[Factory] Press and hold the RESET button for several seconds to re-initialize the TV, reverting all settings to
factory defaults.
Note: Pressing Factory overwrites any settings already in the TV.
LEARN Begins the process of learning the settings from a TV that has been setup as desired.
Note: Pressing LEARN overwrites any settings already in the ClonePRO.
Legacy Places the TV in a mode in which it emulates the behavior of older models- a required part of the
configuration for some applications.
POWER Turns on the TV. It is recommended, though not required, when in DSCI mode to view on-screen
displays.
[Status]: Press and hold the INFO button for several seconds to display settings stored in the ClonePRO and the
TV. For example:
Mem: CB:36 TV:36
This tells you the ClonePRO and the TV have 36 pages of information stored in memory.
Across the screen are red dashes. Press any button on the remote control you are using. Red pulses should
appear, telling you the TV is recognizing the remote and is able to send out that information. If red pulses don’t
appear, contact your RCA distributor.
TEACH: This begins the process of teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO to the TV to which it is
connected.
Note: Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.
After successful teaching, the TV will turn off and reboot.
If the memory-image stored in the clone-box is not valid for the TV, an on-screen message will advise of the
conflicting memory-sizes.
