Programming the Remote Control

In addition to the RR 2150 itself, the remote control can operate up to three
other devices, and is preprogrammed with command codes for hundreds of
components.
To program your remote for another device, you will first input a single digit
device code, followed by a four-digit code from the table in the following pages.
Before you start that process, here are some things you need to be aware of:

More than one setup code number may work with a source component.

Test the functions for each of the code numbers that work to determine
the best one for your particular unit.

Some components (CD and DVD players, for example) do not have power

buttons on their original remote controls and thus may not turn on or off
as you expect. If you run into problems, first store the setup code number
and then test functions (Play, Stop, etc.) to determine if you’ve selected
the correct number.

Setup Using Preprogrammed Codes

To program the remote control using four-digit codes:
1.
Turn on the device (TV, VCR, cable box) you would like the remote

control to operate.

Do this manually or with the device’s original remote control.

. Find the four-digit setup code number for your device.

The tables of four-digit codes can be found on pages 24 to 26.

. On the RR 2150 remote control, press the proper device selector

button (RC2) that corresponds to the device you want to control.

Remember that the RR button is used exclusively for the RR 2150.

. Press and hold the RR 2150 remote control’s SETUP button (RC1).

The red LED at the top of the remote control (RC15) blinks twice.

5. Release the SETUP button.
6. Enter the single-digit device code for your component using the

numeric keys on the remote control (RC3).

Press “0” if you are programming a Cable or Satellite box.
Press “1” if you are programming a Television.
Press “2” if you are programming a VCR or DVD player.
Press “3” if you are programming a CD player.

7. Enter the first four-digit code for your component using the numeric

keys on the remote control (RC3).

The LED should blink twice. If it does not, repeat the steps above using
the same code.

8. Aim the remote control at the component and press the PWR button

(RC16) once.

The component should turn off. If it doesn’t respond, repeat steps 4-7 above
using the other codes for your brand until you find one that works.

If none of the codes work, try searching for the code (see “Searching
For Your Code,” below).

9. Repeat the process for other components you wish to control with

the RR 2150 remote control.

Searching for Unknown Codes

If your device does not respond to the remote after you have tried all codes
listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, you can try searching
for the code.

To search for a code for your component:
1.
Press the Device Control Selector button (RC2) on the remote control

that corresponds to the device you want to control.

Remember that the RR button is used exclusively for the RR 2150.

. Press and hold the RR 2150 remote control’s SETUP button (RC1).

The red LED at the top of the remote control (RC15) blinks twice.

. Release the SETUP button.
. Enter 990 using the numeric keys on the remote control (RC3).

The LED will blink twice.

5. To determine the first number in the code sequence, aim the remote

control at the component and press 1 on the numeric keypad (RC3)

of the RR 2150 remote control.

After three seconds, the LED will blink to indicate that number: i.e.,
1 blink = 1, 2 blinks = 2, and so on. Note that no blink indicates the
number zero (0).

6. Count the blinks and write down the number.
7. Repeat step for each of the other four digits: Press 2 for the second

digit, 3 for the third, 4 for the fourth, and 5 for the fifth.

8. Use the resulting five-digit code (1 digit device code and 4 digit

program code) to program the RR 2150 remote control to operate

the device according to steps 3-8 in the previous section “Setup

Using Preprogrammed Codes.”

9. Repeat these steps, but substitute the appropriate device button,

for the next component you are checking.

Some General Comments on Using Your Remote

For best remote control performance, please follow these guidelines:

Remember to point the remote control toward the remote control sensor

on the RR 2150, not toward the TV screen.

Place the 2150 away from strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent

light, which can interfere with the infrared pulses generated by the remote
control.

Using another remote control of a similar type or placing the RR 2150

near equipment which also uses infrared control may cause interference
and intermittent operation.

Do not put anything (other than your hands, of course) on the remote

control. If the buttons are continuously pressed by mistake, you’ll probably
drain the batteries.

If you put your RR 2150 in a closet or behind wood or smoked/colored

glass doors, you’ll probably have to mount an infrared sensor outside the
cabinet or closet and connect the sensor to the RR 2150’s rear panel IR
input (RP2A).

If there’s an obstacle between the remote control and the front panel

remote control sensor, the remote control will not operate. Remember
that IR (infrared) is primarily a “line of sight” control mechanism.
