C Appendix Remote Control Programming .................................................. C-2 Three-Digit Preprogrammed Codes .........................................
Appendix C Lexicon REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING The RV-8 remote control has been designed to provide a new standard in remote control technology offering a very powerful and flexible preprogrammed and learning product. The RV-8 remote control can operate up to 10 home entertainment and home automation components by using the preprogrammed code library in the remote control, by teaching up to 530 commands into the RV-8 remote from your original remote controls, or a combination of both.
Appendix C RV-8 MACRO OPERATIONS A “macro” is a series of commands that can be sent out with the push of a single button. Any function available on an original remote control or in the preprogrammed database can be added to a macro to completely automate what would normally be done by pushing buttons one at a time. A macro can be configured to power on a TV or projector, RV-8, and RT-10 Disc Player, change to the appropriate inputs and outputs, dim lights and start a movie.
Appendix C Lexicon REMOTE PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW The first task is to get all original remote controls together. You may have one or more components that do not have original remote c o n t r o l s . T h e s e c a n s t i l l b e c o n t r o l l e d b y t h e R V- 8 . T h e preprogrammed method must be used for those devices.
Appendix C RV-8 USING PREPROGRAMMED CODES Note: To program the remote to make it compatible with other components: When using the Preprogramming method, always use the appropriate button as shown in the column when asked ”FROM TABLE.” The labels of the buttons may have been changed, but the codes are in the positons as shown to the left. For example, the AUDIO Code table will always be the top left button. The CD Code table will always be the fourth button down on the right side of the LCD screen, etc.
Appendix C work with the device. Make note of the code if it seems to be the right one, and try the next one. You are trying to find the one that has the most functions to operate your equipment. If there are any functions missing, you will learn them from your original remote in the “Using Learning Method” section on page C-7. 10. Continue to program other components by repeating from Step 1 above.
Appendix C RV-8 code is the one that will have the functions that more closely match the device than the others, so it is advised to try them all. See Step 9 below. (Press the UP or DOWN button within 20 seconds of beginning programming; otherwise the remote will revert to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time, it will go back to the MAIN device page.
Appendix C PROGRAMMING THE FUNCTION BUTTONS To program the Function Buttons: 1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the HOME and ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds. Lexicon example, to erase a punch through from a TV to a SAT device, just “punch” through the TV to the TV. See “Programming “Punch Through” Functions” on page 12 for more information. 2. Press the LEARN button next to the LCD screen. PROGRAMMING THE TEN DEVICE BUTTONS 3.
Appendix C RV-8 Note: Follow these instructions only if you actually want a code sent when changing devices. It may not be desired to send out codes when changing to a device. For example, you program the RV-8’s TV input code on the TV device, and are currently in the DVD device pages. The RV-8’s input is set to DVD. Now you want to quickly adjust the picture on the TV. If the TV device button is pushed, it will change the input on the RV-8 to TV and you will not be able to adjust the picture for the DVD.
Appendix C Lexicon PROGRAMMING MACRO BUTTONS A “macro” is a series of commands that can be sent with the push of a single button. There are two types of macro functions that can be programmed: functions involving the M1, M2 and M3 buttons;or functions involving the POWER and SYSTEM OFF buttons. Each of these buttons is designed to send up to 20 commands.
Appendix C RV-8 7. Return to step 4 until all desired commands are programmed. 1. Press HOME and ENT simultaneously for three seconds. 8. Save the commands selected to the macro button by pressing the CH UP button. 2. Press MACRO. 9. Once you complete the programming and wish to exit from this mode, press the HOME button. Exit from the SET UP mode by pressing the HOME button once again.
Appendix C Note: A macro can end on any page, including the HOME page. In the previous example, the macro was ended on the SAT page before saving it, as this was the desired endpoint. PROGRAMMING “PUNCH THROUGH” FUNCTIONS The RV-8 volume control can be used in a different mode using the volume “punch through” feature.
Appendix C RV-8 ERASING FAVORITE CHANNEL BUTTONS ERASING PUNCH THROUGH FUNCTIONS To erase favorite channel buttons: To erase “punch through” functions: 1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the HOME and ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds. 1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing the HOME and ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds. 2.

Appendix C Lexicon 5. To edit DEVICE button text, skip Steps 3 and 4 and press the PAGE button before selecting the Device button. 6. The character to be changed will blink. To change the character use the number pad buttons on the remote control. The characters assigned to each number pad button are shown below. It will cycle to a different character each time the same number pad button is pressed. Note: Move the cursor left or right using the joystick.
Appendix C RV-8 4. If you wish to erase all the learned functions in the RV-8 remote, press the ALL button and then press the SURE? button at the next LCD screen. 5. To erase all the buttons in a single device or an individual button in the device, press the DEVICE button. 6. Press the device button (TV, VCR, MAIN, etc.) to erase the button(s) from the device. Note: Press the PAGE button and then press the DEVICE button (TV, VCR, etc.) to erase the learned function in the device button itself.
Appendix C ADJUSTING THE LCD CONTRAST To adjust the LCD contrast: Pressing the HOME button and Up on the joystick simultaneously will make the LCD contrast darker. Pressing the HOME button and Down on the joystick simultaneously will make the LCD contrast brighter. BATTERY LIFE Under normal operating conditions, the batteries will last approximately six months. If the batteries are running low, there will be reduced range from the remote, commands that are not sent properly, or are not sent at all.
