Koss FIIRE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT - Manual (Page 13)

Learning
The RCU has the ability to learn the commands of other remote
control units, such as TV remotes or VCR remotes. This allows
the most-used commands on those remotes to be combined on the
RCU. These original remote control units are also known as source
remotes. Learning is not active in the PC mode.
Learning Tips
1. All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a
different device to that mode.
2. Perform the learning process in low-light areas because too much
ambient light might cause interference with the infrared (IR) signals
of the remotes.
3. Use fresh batteries in both the Media Center and PC RCU and the
original remote.
Code Learning
Codes from the Remote Code List include basic functionality for each
component they control. Once you have programmed in the code for
your specific component (using either the Automatic Code Search or
Direct Entry method), you can customize the RCU to perform certain
functions from your original remote(s) that were not embedded in the
preset code. The RCU has the ability to learn and store commands
from your original remote(s) under the mode(s) of your choice.
Learning Commands
For the following section, the TV remote control unit will be used as
an example. Learning from other types of remotes will be done in a
similar way.
1) First press and hold the mode button on the RCU for the
component remote you are learning from (the TV button on the
RCU, for example) then press and hold the RECORD button on
the RCU.
2) Keep pressing both buttons until the device mode button light turns
off, flashes, and turns off. Release both buttons.
3) On the RCU, press and release the button where you want to store
the new function (the component button turns off and then back on;
a short flash).
Note: If you press an invalid button on the remote, the device mode
button flashes 4 times to alert you. You’ll have to repeat step 3.
4) Position the source remote facing the bottom of the RCU no more
than 2 inches apart. Press and hold the button of the source remote
that has the functionality you are recording. Keep pressing the
button until the RCU device mode button light turns off and back on
(the source function has been saved to the TV mode on the RCU).
Note: If all device mode buttons flash 4 times, the function wasn’t
learned. Try again starting with Step 3.
5) The RCU remains in the “learning mode” so you can continue
adding functions to different buttons by repeating steps 3 and 4.
6) Press CLEAR to exit the learning mode.
