Learning Tips
Before transferring commands from your original remote to your universal remote, check out these
useful tips on Learning.
1. Use fresh batteries in both the universal and original remote(s).
2. Perform a Master Clear before attempting any Learning to clear all Learned commands for all
component modes. (See section on Master Clear.)
3. Point the top of the original remote at the base of the universal remote so the IR LED on the
original remote is in line with the universal remote’s Learn sensor, located at the bottom of
the remote.
4. The distance between the two remotes should be approximately 2 inches.
5. To ensure that your units are compatible and to increase your familiarity with the Learning
process, experiment by learning two or three keys initially. Then, carry out a Master Clear
before learning all the desired functions from your original remote.
6. Incandescent or low-energy light can cause interference with IR transmissions. When using the
Learning function, keep remotes at least three feet away from such light sources.
7. Make sure the original remote is in the same mode as the universal remote so that the Learned
key is assigned to the correct mode.
8. When learning a key, do not release the key on your original remote until the illuminated
ON·OFF
key remains on, which takes approximately 2-3 seconds. .
9. You cannot learn any commands under the
MACRO
,
SLEEP
, or
LIGHT
keys.
10. If you teach the
VOL+/-
keys to perform other functions, the volume control will not adjust the
volume in the Volume Punch Through mode.
11. To abort the Learn mode, press the
SLEEP
key. The Learn mode will also abort if no
memory remains.
12. If a problem occurs during the Learning process, the illuminated
ON·OFF
key blinks four times
but still remains in Learning mode.
13. All Learned keys are saved automatically.

Code Learning
Codes from the Code Lists include basic functionality for each component they control. Once you
have programmed in the code for your specific component, you can customize the universal remote to
include certain functions from your original remote(s) that were not embedded in the preset code.
Your universal remote has the ability to learn and store commands from your original remote(s) under
the mode(s) of your choice. The universal remote can store up to 34 key commands for each original
remote.* Only one original remote can be learned under any one mode (e.g., the universal remote can
learn commands for one TV remote, one VCR remote, etc.).
* Some learned signals require more memory than others. In these cases, fewer key commands can be learned.
Learning Commands
1. Place all the remotes that you want to learn from on a flat surface before
entering the Learn mode.
2. Place the first original remote in the Learning position. Point the top of the
original remote at the base of the universal remote so the IR LED on the
original remote is in line with the universal remote’s Learn sensor, located at
the bottom of the remote. The remotes should be positioned 2 inches apart.
3. Press and hold the component key on the learning remote under which the
function is to be learned. The illuminated
ON·OFF
key turns on and
remains on.
4. While holding down the component key, press and hold the
RECORD
key.
The
illuminated
ON·OFF
key turns off.
5. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the illuminated
ON·OFF
key turns on and stays on.
6. Release both keys. The illuminated
ON·OFF
key remains on. The remote is
now in the Learning mode.
7. Press and release the key to be taught on the universal remote. The
illuminated
ON·OFF
key blinks once, then remains on.
8. Press and hold the original remote key you want to transfer to the universal
remote for at least 3 seconds, until the illuminated
ON·OFF
key blinks once.
9. Release the original remote key. If a problem occurs during the Learning
process, the illuminated
ON·OFF
key blinks four times, but the unit remains
in the Learning mode. If this occurs, adjust the distance between the remotes
slightly and repeat from step 7.
10. Repeat steps 7-9 for other keys to be learned.
11. When all the original remote commands have been learned, press and
release the
SLEEP
key. The illuminated
ON·OFF
key turns off. Press and
release the next component key for additional remotes you want the
universal remote to learn and repeat steps 2-9.
12. The Learning process is now complete. To exit the Learn mode, press and
release the
SLEEP
key.
Master Clear
Clear all stored Learned commands before first-time Learning. To clear all Learned commands, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the
CLEAR
key. The illuminated
ON·OFF
key turns on.
2. While holding down the
CLEAR
key, press and hold the illuminated
ON·OFF
key. The illuminated
ON·OFF
key turns off.
3. After holding both keys down for 3 seconds, the illuminated
ON·OFF
key turns back on and
remains on.
4. Release both the
CLEAR
and illuminated
ON·OFF
key. The remote is now in the Master Clear mode.
Note:
To abort the Clear operation at any time, just release the
CLEAR
key.
5. Press and release the
SELECT/OK
key to confirm the Clear operation. The illuminated
ON·OFF
key
remains on for 2 seconds, then turns off. All Learned functions for all components are now cleared;
however, all other programming remains intact.
