Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote controller to
the RC-482M/480M remote controller, you must first decide under
which MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In
general, you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the
component you are programming. For example, if you are
programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact
disc player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then, by
pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-482M/480M
remote controller will change to the commands you program here to
operate the compact disc player.
After programming which MODE button to use, you will then
transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller
over to the RC-482M/480M remote controller one at a time. Each
command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-
482M/480M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this
step except for the six MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, MD, TV,
and VCR), the two MACRO buttons (MACRO 1 and 2), and the
LIGHT button (RC-482M only).
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old
remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands
are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to
memorize them once again.
1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller
for the other device facing each other at a distance of 2
to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) apart.
2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE
button on the remote controller, press the ENTER
button and then release both buttons.
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is
pressed and turns off when the ENTER button is pressed. When
the indicator turns off, release both buttons. The SEND/LEARN
indicator lights again.
3. Press and release the button on the remote controller
to which you want to transfer the next command.
You may select any button excluding the eleven ones indicated
in the figure below. When you press the button, the SEND/
LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the
indicator lights again.
If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button
again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice, and the
remote controller exits the programming mode.
