4. Programming the NX-RM505 to Control Your
Components
B. Learning Method
You can program the NX-RM505 to operate a device by ‘teaching’
the correct commands to device buttons on the MAIN screen menu,
the two sub-pages within each device button, 31 buttons and the
joystick located in the middle of the remote control. The NX-RM505
learns these commands by receiving infrared signals directly from
your existing remote controls. The NX-RM505 receives these sig-
nals through its learning eye, located at the top of the unit.
Apart from the PAGE, MAIN and FAV buttons, which cannot be
taught, the NX-RM505 has the capability of learning up to 530 com-
mands.
Tip: Function buttons are any buttons that can be assigned a command to
control a particular action for your device. Commonly used function but-
tons include the two pages of sub-commands within each of the 10
devices, channel up and down, volume up and down, menu, guide, exit,
info, 0-9 and the joystick.
Points to Remember
If the remote control fails to learn a function after the first try:
• Keep the remotes stable by placing them on a flat surface.
• Make sure the original remote is pointed at the learning eye
at the top end of the case and is not at an angle.
• Make sure both remotes’ batteries aren't low.
• Avoid programming the NX-RM505 under bright lighting.
It can interfere with the infrared signals.
• Try again. Sometimes the second or third attempt works.
• Some buttons require a single, short push of the original
remote's button, other ‘repeating’ buttons, such as the
VOL button, require that you ‘press and hold’ the original
remote’s button until ‘Good’ flashes twice on the LCD screen.
• Try varying the distance between the remotes until you find
an optimal distance where the codes are learned on the first
or second try.
