Notes on learning

: Do not try to perform learning 

directly under fluorescent lights or in weak lighting 
conditions since this could cause interference with the IR 
transmissions. Place the remote control at least 1 metre 
[3 feet] from any light source • Avoid copying the volume 
and mute keys on your original remote control, unless 
you are sure that they activate the same target device; 
for example, certain original DVD remote controls may 
also include a TV volume/mute key: they may have two 
different types of codes • Avoid learning VCR keys on your 
original remote control unless you are sure that they 
activate the same target device; for example, certain 
original TV remote controls may also include a VCR key: 
they may have two different types of codes • Copying 
a key may take up to 3 seconds. Do not release the key 
being copied unless the “

Success

” or “

Key Learn Error

” 

screens are displayed.

If copying the fi rst or second keys for a certain mode 
constantly cause errors, use the following procedure:
i. 

 End the learning session by pressing the 

EXIT

 key.

ii.    Clear the commands learned for this mode.
iii.    Verify that the IR LED’s are properly aligned between the 

two remote controls.

iv.    Ajust the gap between the two remote controls so as to 

reduce or increase the distance (from 15 mm to 50 mm 
[1/2 to 2»]).

v.    Try learning the original remote control again for this 

mode.

If the problem continues for the same key, verify that the key 
on the original remote control was properly learned; does 
it send the signals? Does it activate the target device? Try 
copying this key using a diff erent mode. If the learning is 
correct, the type of code may be diff erent from the others 
and cannot be copied in the same mode.

Macro commands

This function permits storing sequences of commands 
using the 

MACRO

 key. You can program and store up 

to 3 sequences of successive keystrokes for several 
keys of your choice. By pressing the respective Macro 
digital key, this sequence of successive keystrokes 
(IR commands) is sent. Any sequence of successive 
keystrokes performed frequently may be reduced to 
only two commands (

MACRO

 key plus one of the 

1, 2

 or 

3

 keys). For example, by pressing 

MACRO

 and then only 

one key, you can turn on your TV set, display your favorite 
channel, turn on your VCR and start a recording, etc. 
You can store a sequence of 10 commands for each 1, 2 
or 3 key.

How to set up a macro 

Tip

: Set up your macro on a sheet of paper by 

writing down the series of 10 keystrokes (maximum) 
 that it is composed of. As an example, if you want to 
turn on your TV set to Channel 3 and then turn on a 
satellite receiver to Channel 5, you should write down: 
MACRO, 1 (for storage for this key), TV (

Ђ

), 3, SAT (

Ђ

), 

5, MACRO.

the remote control must be pointed at the devices to be 
controlled.

Note

: if there is no Macro stored for the number key selected, 

“

“ is displayed.

Notes on macros

: The time elapsed between each automatic 

command during the execution of a macro is 1/2 second.

For certain commands, you may have to add pauses in a 
macro sequence (for example, to allow the TV set to warm 
up). These pauses may be adjusted by using the 

PAUSE

 key, 

followed by a number of seconds from 1 to 9. The fi rst key 
stored in a Macro sequence must be a Mode key (

TV, VCR, 

etc.). The 

SETUP, HOME CINEMA

 and 

MACRO

 keys may 

not be included in a Macro. Press
