CONFIGURATION
CONFIGURE A SOURCE
To be certain that the remote functions property,
all IR commands for source devices connected
to inputs 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 must be learned from
the original device remote. A total of 42 to 75
commands IR commands can be stored, depending
on the size of the learned commands.
Commands for TV and Aux devices are
implemented using five-digit codes to identify a
complete command set for a device. These codes
can be found in the “SETUP CODES ” list provided.
Codes implemented via the five-digit code method
do not consume memory (and therefore do not
reduce total capacity) used for learning codes.
CONFIGURING SOURCES TV AND AUX
Before proceeding, find the codes for the devices to
be controlled in the provided list (“Manufacturer’s
Codes”). Write down or highlight these codes for
easy reference, then perform the following steps:
