REMOTE PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW
The first task is to get all original remote controls together. You may
have one or more components that do not have original remote
c o n t r o l s . T h e s e c a n s t i l l b e c o n t r o l l e d b y t h e R V- 8 . T h e
preprogrammed method must be used for those devices. For the rest,
you can program the RV-8 to make it compatible with all components
by following the preprogrammed method instructions, by using the
original remote controls to teach the RV-8, or through both methods.
Next, it is recommended that you decide whether a “device-based,” or
an “activity-based” configuration is desired.
A “device-based” configuration centers on each device with its two
LCD pages controlling one component. All of the functions that the
original remote control has programmed in it would be put onto one
device. The RV-8 remote comes with the labels and preprogrammed
codes in a “device-based” setup.
When a preprogrammed code is chosen for a component from the
Three-Digit Preprogrammed Codes tables which start on page C-18,
that code will be applied to one device only.
An “activity-based” configuration centers on what you are doing at the
time. If you are watching a DVD on your TV, and are using the RV-8 to
control the sound, you may want to start by setting up the DVD device
using the preprogrammed method described in the next column, and
then add functions from the other devices you will be using while
watching your DVD video to the DVD device.
For example, while playing a DVD, to adjust the volume of the RV-8,
use the “Punch Through” method described on page C-12 to put the
RV-8’s volume control into the DVD device. To adjust other functions of
the RV-8 while staying in the DVD device, use the learning method
described on page C-7 to add those functions to the DVD device, such
as surround sound controls, the receiver's
DVD input code, the TV's power code, etc. In that instance, everything
that is needed for watching a DVD on your TV without having to
switch back and forth from device to device is available.
All programming is done by first entering the SETUP mode in the
remote control. Press both the HOME and ENT (enter) buttons,
simultaneously for three seconds to access the SETUP mode shown
below. “SETUP” will be displayed at the top of the LCD screen. Specific
programming instructions begin on the next page.
