Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote
controller
4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to
the command you are programming) on the remote
controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN
lamp on the remote controller flashes twice.
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light
again.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands you
desire from the other remote controller and program
them to buttons on the remote controller under the
same MODE.
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different
MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote
controller).
6. Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to
complete the programming.
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure
the learning function was performed properly.
Notes:
• The remote controller codes for Onkyo compact disc players,
cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recorder have
already been programmed into buttons on the remote controller.
You may, however, use these buttons to program the codes for
other remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Onkyo preset
codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new
codes (see page 72).
• The remote controller has 318 memory slots (6 modes × 53
buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands
that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases,
it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are
more important than others.
• If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and
turns off, then the remote controller has exited the programming
mode because either you have made a mistake during
programming or a time-out has occurred because no button has
been pressed. Resume from Step 2.
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote
controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times
quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
Try programming under a different MODE button.
• When you want to program a command to a button to which you
have already programmed a command, simply follow the same
procedure given and the previous programming for that button
will be overwritten.
• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands,
as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote
controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be
aware that some remote controllers use systems that are quite
different from the remote controller and therefore may not be
able to be programmed.
• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs
multiple functions (for example, the function may change each
time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must
be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.
• Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote
controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that
product for instructions on how to operate that product.
• Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote
controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that
are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the
other remote controller properly into the remote controller.
See page 72 for how to erase the memorized commands from all
buttons.
