Teaching Method

From time to time the three-digit programming method doesn’t 
automatically program in all of the commands of the original remote. 
In such cases you can “teach” the DR-3 individual commands from 
your original equipment remote control. New commands can be taught
to any button except the eight Source/Device buttons at the top of the
remote and the LIGHT, MACRO, LEARN, CODE, SAVE, CNCL, MUTE,
SURROUND MODE, VOL UP, VOL DOWN, SUB+, SUB– and SYSTEM
POWER buttons.

The remote control provides visual feedback via the status light that 
is located at the top left of the remote control, and the Source/Device
buttons. The status light glows in three colors (red, orange and green).
These lights will assist you in programming in the learning section of
the remote control.

NOTE: You have 20 seconds to perform each step. If the source button
light goes off, you need to back up a step and do it again. You can exit
the learning mode by pressing the CNCL (cancel) button at any time in
the process.
