Code Learning
Tips On Learning
You.can.only.learn.one.device.type.under.any.one.Mode.button.e.g..
only.learn.TV.codes.under.the.
TV Mode,.DVD.codes.under.the.DVD
Mode,.etc..If.you.are.trying.to.learn.from.a.“Universal”.remote,.it.might.
have.more.than.one.code.type.stored.under.a.Mode..Try.learning.from.
another.remote.to.see.if.there’s.a.problem.with.the.type.or.brand.of.
remote.you.are.trying.to.learn.from..
a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not be able to
be learned.
b. No functions may be stored under the SETUP button.
c. Only one original device type can be learned per individual Mode.
d. Use.fresh.batteries.for.both.the.Learning.Remote.and.the.Original.
Remote.
e. Do.not.attempt.to.Learn.directly.under.an.incandescent.or.
low-energy.light.as.these.can.cause.interference.with.the.IR.
transmissions..Keep.at.least.3.feet.away.from.any.such.light.sources.
f. Perform.a.Master.Clear.(see.page.22).before.learning.and.try.learning.
2.or.3.commands.initially..Then.carry.out.a.Master.Clear.before.
completely.learning.your.original.remote’s.commands.
g..Carry.out.a.“Mode.Clear”.before.learning.a.Mode.to.make.sure.there.
are.no.previously.learned.commands.for.that.Mode.
h. Place.the.original.remote.end-to-end.with.the.Learning.Remote.so.
the.IR.transmitters.on.both.remotes.are.directly.in.line.with.each.
other..You.may.need.to.adjust.the.height.of.either.remote.to.achieve.
this..
i. Keep.the.distance.between.the.two.remotes.to.approximately.1.inch.
and.do.not.move.or.change.the.distance.between.the.two.remotes.
until.you.have.learned.all.the.required.buttons.for.that.Mode.
j. Avoid.learning.your.original.remote.Volume/Mute.buttons.unless.
you.are.sure.these.operate.the.same.device.e.g..some.original.DVD.
remotes.include.TV.Volume/Mute.button.control.and.can.be.two.
different.types.of.code.
k. Avoid.learning.your.original.remote.VCR.or.DVD.buttons.unless.
you.are.sure.these.operate.the.same.device.e.g..some.original.TV.
remotes.include.VCR.or.DVD.button.control.and.can.be.two.different.
types.of.code.
l..Learning.a.button.can.take.up.to.3.seconds..Do.not.release.the.button.
being.Learned.until.SUCCESS.or.LEARN.ERROR.has.been.displayed.
