Using the Remote Control
• In order to record (learn) a function from one remote to the other, you must make sure the
Infrared (IR) transmitter of the original remote is facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV’s
remote (see illustration). To accomplish this, you may have to hold a remote in each hand
instead of laying both on the table.
• The learned buttons are mode specific—if you add a button function from your HDTV tuner’s
remote control, you must press the AUX/HD button first before the learned function will work
(in TV mode, the button where you’ve stored the learned function will continue to work as it
always has).
1. Press and hold the component button on the TV’s remote that applies to the function you
will be adding (DVD, VCR, SAT/CAB, AUDIO, or AUX/HD). The component button lights.
2. On the HDTV Monitor remote, press and hold the RECORD button.
3. Keep pressing both of the buttons (the component button and the RECORD button) until
the component button light turns off, flashes, and turns off. Release both buttons.
4. On the TV’s remote control, press and release the button where you want to store the new
function (the component button turns off and then back on).
Note:
If you press an invalid button on the HDTV Monitor remote, one of the component
button flashes 4 times to alert you. You’ll have to repeat step 4.
5. With the remote controls facing each other and no more than 2 inches apart, press and
hold the button of the component’s remote control that has the functionality you are
recording to the TV’s remote control. Keep pressing the button until the HDTV Monitor
remote’s component button light turns off and back on (the function has been saved to the
HDTV Monitor remote). If all component buttons flash four times, then the function wasn't
learned. You can try again starting with step 4.
6. The HDTV Monitor remote control remains in “learning mode” so you can continue adding
functions to different buttons by repeating steps 4 and 5. Or, press CLEAR to exit learning
mode.
Notes:
If you want a new function on a button, you must record (learn) over it.
The amount of memory each learned function uses in the TV’s remote control varies. If your
HDTV Monitor remote is out of memory, the component button(s) light flashes 4 times and
turn off, exiting you from the Learning mode.
