Mark Levinson N390S - Manual (Page 54)

These “positive control” commands in the Nº390S will place it
into a certain mode of operation regardless of its current state. For
example, a positive control command to enter standby will leave
the Nº390S in standby if already there, or switch it to standby if
it is currently operating. This type of positive control is especially
helpful when you do not necessarily know the current status of
the Nº390S, as might be the case in a multi-room home
entertainment system (for example).
1. Place the Nº390S in its front panel teaching mode.
As explained on the previous page, you do this by pressing
and holding the repeat button until the display reads TEACH
IR
. If no further buttons are pressed within approximately ten
seconds, the Nº390S will “time out” and return to normal
operation.
2. Release, then press and hold the repeat button a second
time to place the Nº390S in its Custom IR mode.
After about five seconds, the display will change from TEACH
IR
to OPERATE (the first special IR code available for teaching).
This indicates that the special IR codes that do not correspond
to front panel buttons are now available for teaching to a
learning remote control—including some that are designed to
solve problems unique to custom installations.
3. Press the “repeat” button repeatedly to advance to the
desired function.
The table on the next page lists the various commands that
are available for the Nº390S for which there is not front-panel
equivalent. In some cases, they represent “positive control”
alternatives to commands that normally toggle between two
settings (such as standby and operate). In other cases, they
represent functions that exist only on the remote control. In
the second column are the designations that will be displayed
to indicate that the Nº390S is ready to fire the corresponding
IR code.
Pressing repeat will advance you to the next command in the
table. If no button is pushed for more than ten seconds, the
Nº390S will “time out” and return to normal operation.
4. Momentarily press the repeat button to transmit the selected
code.
Line up the IR window of your remote control with the left
side of the display of the Nº390S, at a distance of approximately
2"-6". Select the to-be-learned button on the remote, then fire
the selected code from the Nº390S by pressing mode.
(If you are uncertain as to how to prepare your remote control for
learning new commands, refer to the instructions provided with the
remote control.)
