You can control up to six simultaneous sources in
any combination of TV VCR Cable box, DSS
receiver, DVD player etc.
Devices not already in the SpitFIRE infrared
remote control database may be “learned” from
existing remote controls. You may “learn”
complete devices or use the learning capability to
add additional buttons to existing devices. Once
learned, the codes are stored in non-volatile
memory and retained even with power removed.
For details on learning new remote control codes,
see “Learning Codes from Existing Remote
Controls.
LEARNING CODES FROM EXISTING REMOTE CONTROLS
(SpitFIRE II only)
Learning Codes
To “learn” the codes to add a new device, or to
add a button to an existing device:
1. Send the source code for which you wish to
store the learned code. (1 flash). (Note: You may
learn IR codes only to sources 1-4. Sources 5 and
6 are for library database codes only.)
2. Send LEARN (Scancode 47h).
You will receive a status message 1100. Both the
Program and Learn LEDs (red and green LEDs)
will now light. (As the learning process is
essentially manual, use of the visible LEDs for
user feedback is recommended.)
3. Send the button code for the “virtual button”
for which you wish to store the learned data. The
Green program LED will turn off. (If no button
code is received, the learn sequence will time out
and you will receive status message 1010.
4. Hold the original OEM remote control up to the
IR sensor located on the front panel. (See
SpitFIRE Front Panel drawing on page 5.)
Note: Some OEM remote controls have multiple
infrared (IR) LEDS. It is important to have a
direct line between the IR LED on the OEM
remote and the IR sensor. Please note: you may
need to hold the remote control right up against
the IR sensor.
When the code is learned the red Learn LED will
go out and you will receive a 21h return flash
(green Program LED will flash).
If the IR code is invalid or the IR code cannot be
learned you will receive a status message 1110. If
no IR is detected you will receive status message
1011.
Repeat steps 2-4 to learn addition buttons for the
current source.
