Notes on learning

:  Do  not  try  to  perform  learning 

directly  under  fluorescent  lights  or  in  weak  lighting 

conditions since this could cause interference with the IR 

transmissions. Place the remote control at least 1 metre 

[3 feet] from any light source • Avoid copying the volume 

and  mute  keys  on  your  original  remote  control,  unless 

you  are  sure  that  they  activate  the  same  target  device; 

for  example,  certain  original  DVD  remote  controls  may 

also include a TV volume/mute key: they may have two 

different types of codes • Avoid learning VCR keys on your 

original  remote  control  unless  you  are  sure  that  they 

activate  the  same  target  device;  for  example,  certain 

original TV remote controls may also include a VCR key: 

they  may  have  two  different  types  of  codes  •  Copying 

a key may take up to 3 seconds. Do not release the key 

being  copied  unless  the  “Success”  or  “Key Learn Error” 

screens are displayed.

If  copying  the  first  or  second  keys  for  a  certain  mode 

constantly cause errors, use the following procedure:

i.   End the learning session by pressing the EXIT key.

ii.    Clear the commands learned for this mode.

iii.    Verify that the IR LED’s are properly aligned between the 

two remote controls.

iv.    Ajust the gap between the two remote controls so as to 

reduce or increase the distance (from 15 mm to 50 mm 

[1/2 to 2»]).

v.    Try learning the original remote control again for this 

mode.

If the problem continues for the same key, verify that the key 

on the original remote control was properly learned; does 

it send the signals? Does it activate the target device? Try 

copying  this  key  using  a  different  mode.  If  the  learning  is 

correct, the type of code may be different from the others 

and cannot be copied in the same mode.

Macro commands

This function permits storing sequences of commands

using the MACRO key. You can program and store up

to 3 sequences of successive keystrokes for several

keys of your choice. By pressing the respective Macro

digital key, this sequence of successive keystrokes

(IR commands) is sent. Any sequence of successive

keystrokes performed frequently may be reduced to

only two commands (MACRO key plus one of the 1, 2 or

3

keys). For example, by pressing MACRO and then only

one key, you can turn on your TV set, display your favorite

channel, turn on your VCR and start a recording, etc.

You can store a sequence of 10 commands for each 1, 2

or 3 key.

How to set up a macro

Tip

: Set up your macro on a sheet of paper by

writing down the series of 10 keystrokes (maximum)

that it is composed of. As an example, if you want to

turn on your TV set to Channel 3 and then turn on a

satellite receiver to Channel 5, you should write down:

MACRO, 1 (for storage for this key), TV (�), 3, SAT (�),

5, MACRO.

1. Using the SETUP keys (hold down for 7 seconds),

and navigation keys

5

,6,4,3,

OK, display CODE

SETUP

then navigate up to MACRO SETUP (press

OK

) then MACRO KEY SET (press OK) then SELECT A

MACRO KEY.

2. Press once on the 1, 2 or 3 key to which you wish to

assign the macro.

3. The indication SELECT MACRO X MODE? appears.

4. Press once on the desired mode key (TV, DVD,

VCR,

etc.) to select the device that will receive the

command SELECT MACRO X KEY? is displayed.

Note

: The first key in the Macro sequence must always be 

a mode key.

5. Press each of the keys in order that make up the

macro.

6. Store the macro by pressing the MACRO key once.

7. The display briefly indicates PLEASE WAIT before

leaving this mode.

Note

: the Macro is automatically stored the 10th time the 

key is pressed.

8. The display briefly indicates SUCCESS before leaving

this mode.

How to clear a macro

1. Using the SETUP keys (hold down for 7 seconds),

and navigation keys

,6,4,3,

OK, display CODE

SETUP

then navigate up to MACRO SETUP (press OK)

then MACRO KEY CLEAR (press OK) then SELECT A

MACRO KEY.

2. Press once on key 1, 2 or 3 of the macro to be cleared

to display CONFIRM OK TO CLEAR

3. Press OK once.

4. The display briefly indicates SUCCESS before leaving

this mode.

How to use a macro

In normal operation, to activate the Macro, press and

release the MACRO key, then (within 20 seconds) press

and release key 1, 2 or 3 to display MACRO X while the

Macro sequence is being run and remote control returns

to normal function. While the Macro is being executed,

the remote control must be pointed at the devices to be

controlled.

Note

: if there is no Macro stored for the number key selected, 

Macro X Void“ is displayed.

Notes on macros

: The time elapsed between each automatic 

command during the execution of a macro is 1/2 second.
For  certain  commands,  you  may  have  to  add  pauses  in  a 

macro sequence (for example, to allow the TV set to warm 

up). These pauses may be adjusted by using the PAUSE key, 

followed by a number of seconds from 1 to 9. The first key 

stored in a Macro sequence must be a Mode key (TV, VCR,

etc.).  The  SETUP, HOME CINEMA  and  MACRO  keys  may 

not  be  included  in  a  Macro.  Press  SETUP  in  order  to  exit

Home Cinema Function

The Home Cinema function uses up to 5 devices with

one mode key: the HOME CINEMA key

. The 5 devices

correspond to the five mode keys (TV, DVD, AMP...) that

will be associated with predefined keys. The keys are:

a. The 2 program keys PROG + / -.

b. The 3 volume VOL + / - keys and the mute (

) key.

c. The 6 run keys Play, Pause, Stop, Fast Forward, Fast

Rewind and Record

keys.

e. For the remaining keys: "base" mode HOME CINEMA

(any one of the other modes).

Example

:  In  Home  Cinema  mode,  you  can  set  up  the 

PROG+/-

 keys to control the satellite receiver, the VOL +/-

and (

) keys to control the amplifier, the Run keys (PLAY,

PAUSE
