LEARNING CODES FROM A REMOTE

Learning Codes from a Remote

The HS 250 remote is able to “learn” codes from
other remote controls that might be part of your
system setup, like the one from your TV. To learn
or transfer codes from an IR remote to the HS’s
remote, follow these steps:

1. Place the front of the original remote with the
code being sent so that it is facing the

Transmitter Window

on the HS remote

“head-to-head.”The remotes should be between
2 and 4cm apart.

2. Select the button on the remote that you wish
to use as the device selector for the codes about
to be entered. This must be any of the

Input

Selectors

3. Press the

Input Selector

button chosen

and the

Learn

Button

at the same time. Hold

these buttons until the

Program Indicator

flashes amber and the light under the device
selector button turns red. Release the buttons. It
is important that you begin the next step within
20 seconds.

4. Press the button on the HS remote that you
wish to program. Note that the

Program

Indicator

will stop flashing.

Important Note:

Codes cannot be taught to all

buttons on the remote. In these cases the

Program Indicator

keeps flashing after the

button was released.

5. As long as the

Program Indicator

is on

steadily (for five seconds), press and hold the but-
ton on the original remote that you wish to
“teach” into the HS remote. If you pressed the
button too late or no command was received
within five seconds, the

Program Indicator

will flash red three times and then amber, then
simply repeat step four. When the

Program

Indicator

turns green, release the button on

the original remote. Note that the Program
Indicator will then begin to flash amber again.

NOTE

: If the

Program Indicator

turns red

steadily during Step 5, the programming was not
successful. Repeat the steps to see if the code will
“take.”If the indicator keeps flashing red in step
5, this code cannot be taught.

6. Repeat steps 4 though 5 for each button on
the source remote that you wish to transfer to the
HS remote.

7. Once all codes have been transferred from the
original source remote to the HS remote, press the

Learn

button

. This will turn off all LEDs and

turn off the learning mode.

8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any additional
remotes you wish to “teach” into the HS Remote.

Erasing Learned Codes

The HS’s remote allows you to remove or erase the
code learned into a single button for a single
device, to remove or erase all the codes that have
been learned for a single device, or to erase all

commands that have been learned to all devices.

To erase a single learned code from within
a single device’s settings, follow these
steps:

1. Press and hold both the

Input Selector

within which the individual button to be erased has
been programmed and the

Learn

button

2. When the red LED under the

Input Selector

turns red and the

Program Indicator

flash-

es amber, release the buttons.

3. Press and release the

Input Selector

again for the device within which the individual
button to be erased has been programmed.

4. Press the

button

three times.

5. Press and release the individual button for which
the code is to be erased. The

Program Indicator

will blink green two times and then return to

amber.

6. To erase other buttons within the same device,
press them as noted in Step 5.

7. When all buttons to be erased have been
pressed, press the

Learn

button

to complete

the process.

To erase all codes within a single device,
follow these steps:

1. Press and hold both the

Input Selector

for

which you wish to erase the codes and the

Learn

button

2. When the red LED under the

Input Selector

turns red and the

Program Indicator

flash-

es amber, release the buttons.

3. Press and release the same

Input Selector

again for the device whose codes you wish to
erase.

4. Press the

button

three times.

5. The

Program/SPL Indicator

will turn off,

the red light under the

Input Selector

will flash

on and off once and the

Program/SPL Indicator

will flash green three times to indicate that

the codes have been erased.

To erase all codes that have been
programmed to all devices in the remote,
follow these steps:

1. Press any

Input Selector

and also the

Learn

button

2. When the red LED under the

Input Selector

turns red and the

Program/SPL Indicator

flashes amber, release the buttons.

3. Press and release the same

Input Selector

again.

4. Press the

button

three times.

5. The

Program/SPL Indicator

will turn off,

the red light under the

Input Selector

will flash

on and off once and the

Program/SPL Indicator

will flash green three times after some sec-

onds to indicate that the codes have been erased.

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used
combinations of commands with the press of a sin-
gle button on the HS’s remote control. Once pro-
grammed, a macro will send out up to 19 different
remote codes in a pre-determined sequential order
enabling you to automate the process of turning
on your system, changing devices, or other com-
mon tasks. The HS’s remote can store up to four
separate macro command sequences, that are
accessed by pressing the

Macro

buttons

1. To start programming a macro, press the

Mute

button

and the

Macro

button

to be pro-

grammed at the same time. Note that the latest
selected

Input Selector

will light red, and the

Program Indicator

will flash amber.

2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command step.
Although the macro may contain up to
19 steps, each button press, including those used
to change devices, counts as a step.
The

Program Indicator

will flash green

twice to confirm each button press as you enter
commands.

NOTE:

While entering commands for Power On of

any device during a macro sequence, press the

Mute

button

. DO NOT press the

Power ON

button

• Remember to press the appropriate
