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 fi rst 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 diff erent mode. If the learning is
correct, the type of code may be diff erent 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 (Ђ), 3, SAT (Ђ),
5, MACRO.

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 fi rst 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
