Teaching PRE Functions
to its Remote Control
If you inadvertently overwrite one or more PRE commands in your PRE remote
control, never fear—you don’t have to obtain another PRE remote in order to
re-teach your own its PRE-specific commands. The PRE itself can send all of the
necessary IR commands from its main display window, enabling you to re-teach
the PRE remote any or all of its pre-programmed commands, as well as some
optional special commands which are available to solve specific installation-
related difficulties.
The PRE has two special modes of operation into which is may be placed in
order to facilitate the “teaching” of remote control commands to its own (or
any other) learning remote control. The first allows you to easily teach the
commands for which there are corresponding front panel buttons. The second
allows you to teach “special” commands to the remote control for which there
are no corresponding front panel buttons.
Teaching PRE Front
Panel Commands
1 Press and hold the balance (BAL) button on the front panel un-
til “0L” appears in the display. A momentary press of the bal-
ance
button will, of course, simply place the PRE in balance
mode
. When you press and hold the balance button instead,
the PRE will wait for a few seconds to make sure that your
press-and-hold action is quite deliberate, and then enter a teach-
ing mode which allows you to program a learning remote con-
trol with infrared (IR) commands. The PRE’s main display will
show a number and the letter “L” (for “Learn”) when in this
mode.
The PRE will display a “0L” code when it has entered its teach-
ing mode and is ready to help the remote control learn the
commands that correspond to the PRE’s front panel buttons. If
no further buttons are pressed within approximately ten sec-
onds, the PRE will “time out” and return to normal
operation.
2 Line up the IR window of the PRE remote control with
the center of the main display of the PRE, at a distance of
approximately 2"-3".

3 Press and hold both the pre/audio Device and the play but-
ton for about three seconds, until the LCD on the PRE remote
shows LEARN. The PRE remote is now in the learning mode.
NOTE: Each of the following steps must be completed within 10 seconds. If
the remote does not receive any new commands within the allotted time, it
will return to its normal operating mode.
4 Press and release the corresponding button on the PRE remote
you have selected to re-learn the function. The LCD will show
READY.
Notice that a yellow LED in the main display lights up briefly
after you press a button. This LED indicates that the PRE is
transmitting the command which corresponds to the button you
just pushed. You may repeat this process until all commands
have been learned by your remote control.
