controlling other devices
Method 1 (direct code setup)
This section describes the simplest (preferred) way to
program the Cr104’s Device Mode keys to control the
non-Arcam devices in your system.

but can be unlocked if required (see “Locking/

Here is a specific example of how to program the a
key to control an Addison television. The principles for
controlling other devices are exactly the same.
1. Make sure your device is switched on (not just on
standby).
2. Find the correct Device Code table (e.g. TV) for
the type of device you want to control from the
Cr104.
3. Find the row containing the codes for the
manufacturer of your device (e.g. Addison) (page
34). The most popular code is listed first.
4. Press the appropriate Device Mode key (e.g. a)
on the Cr104.
5. Press and hold S until the red Power LED
blinks twice: * * (It actually blinks once when
you press the key, then twice after about three
seconds).
6. Enter the first four-digit device code using the
number keys. The power key blinks twice: * *.
7. Aim the Cr104 at the device and press P. If the
device switches off, the setup is complete.
8. Turn your device back on and test all the Cr104’s
functions to ensure they are working properly.
9. Important! Write your device code down on the
right hand side of the page so you can remember
it if you ever reset the Cr104.
What if i still can’t control my device?
< If your device doesn’t respond, repeat the above
steps until one of the device codes listed for your
brand works.
< If none of the codes listed for your brand operates
your device, or if your brand is not listed at all, try
the Library Search Method described in the next
section.
notes:
< Some codes are quite similar. If your device does
not respond or is not functioning properly with
one of the codes, try another code listed under
your brand.
< If your device’s original remote control does not
have a P (POWEr) key, press $ instead of P
when setting up your device.
< remember to press the corresponding device key
before operating your device.
< Many TVs do not switch on pressing P. Please
try pressing a number key (‘channel select’) to
switch your TV back on.
< To search for the code for another device follow
the instructions above, but press the appropriate
device key instead of a during step 2.
Method 2 (library search)
This section describes another way to program the
Cr104 to control third-party equipment.
Library Search allows you to scan through all the
codes contained in the Cr104’s memory. It can take a
lot longer than the previous method, so only use this
method if:
< Your device does not respond to the Cr104 after
you have tried all the codes listed for your brand.
< Your brand is not listed at all in the Device Code
tables.
example: To search for a TV code
1. Switch your TV on (not standby) and aim the
Cr104 at it.
2. Press a on your Cr104.
3. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice.
4. Press 9 9 1. The power LED key blinks
twice: * *.
5. Press P.
6. Aim the Cr104 at your Television and press [
repeatedly until your Television turns off.
Every time you press [ the Cr104 sends out a
POWEr signal from the next code contained in its
memory. In the worst case, you may have to press this
key up to 150 times, so patience is required! If you
skip past a code, step back by pressing ]. remember
to keep pointing the Cr104 at your Television while
pressing this key.
7. As soon as your television turns off, press S to
store the code.
notes:
< Many TVs do not switch on by pressing P. Try
pressing a number key (‘channel select’) to switch
your TV back on.
< If you cannot control your Television properly,
please continue the Search Method: you may be
using the wrong code.
< To search for the code for another device follow
the instructions above, but press the appropriate
Device Mode key instead of a during step 2.
< If your device’s original remote control does not
have a P ( STaNDBY ) key, press $ instead during
step 5.
code blink-back
Once you have set up your Cr104, you can blink back
your device set-up codes for future reference.
example: To blink back your Television code
1. Press the appropriate Device Mode key (e.g. a)
once.
2. Press and hold S until the red Power LED
blinks twice * * (It actually blinks once when
you press the key, then twice after about three
seconds).
3. Press 9 9 0. The P key blinks twice.
4. For the first digit of your four-digit code, press
1
and count all the red blinks. If there are no blinks,
the digit is ‘0’.
5. For the second, third and fourth digits, repeat the
previous step, pressing 2, 3, or 4 in order.
now you have the four-digit code.
Make a note of the codes
Write down the codes for your devices in the boxes
below for future reference.
