4. Programming the NX-RM505 to Control
Your Components
WHERE DO I START?
First of all, get all of your original remote controls together. Find out
what brands of components you have. You may have one or more
components that do not have original remote controls, but can still
be controlled by the NX-RM505. You must use the pre-programmed
method for those devices. For the rest, you can program the NX-
RM505 to make it compatible with your components by following
the pre-programmed method instructions, by using your original
remote controls to teach the NX-RM505, or both methods.
Next, it is a good idea to decide whether you want a ‘Device-based’
configuration, or if you want an ‘Activity-based’ configuration.
A ‘Device-based’ configuration centers on each Device with its two
LCD pages controlling one component. All of the functions that
your original remote control has on it would be put on to one
device. The NX-RM505 comes with the labels and pre-programmed
codes in a ‘Device-based' setup.
If you go to the ‘List of Pre-programmed LCD Text by Device’ on
page 53, you will see diagrams of how the NX-RM505 is set up at
the factory. When you choose a pre-programmed code for a com-
ponent from the ‘Setup Code Tables’ in the Appendix of this manu-
al, that code will be applied to one device only.
An ‘Activity-based’ configuration centers on what you are doing at
the time.
If you are watching a DVD on your TV and are using your Home
Theater receiver to control the sound, you may want to start by set-
ting up the DVD Device using the pre-programmed method
described below and then add functions from the other devices you
will be using while watching your DVD video to the DVD device. For
example, while playing a DVD, you will want to adjust the volume of
your receiver. So, you would use the ‘Punch Through’ method
described on page 32 to put the Receiver's Volume control into
NX-RM505
