entitled Placing Commands onto the GTL’s. If no working commands can be found in the IR
Library, please proceed to the following section entitled Learning IR Commands.
Learning IR Commands (XIR2)
An IR Learning Eye is located on the front of the XTR39.
Note: Commands learned through the XTR39 front learning eye (XIR2 method) are NOT backwards
compatible to other Xantech devices (i.e. MRC44/88, URC-2 etc…).
Palettes created in earlier version of Dragon Drop-IR™ software (XIR1 method) CAN be imported into
the Universal Dragon™ software. (i.e. palettes created in DragMRC, Drag450 or Drag460 software
CAN be imported and used in Universal Dragon™).
Note: When learning IR commands through the front learning-eye, it is suggested that the
environment be free of any IR interference. This could include Fluorescent or Halogen lighting,
sunlight, Plasma or LCD displays and interference from PC Monitor display.
Using the Palette Editor
NOTE: The Palette Editor is available whether a project is opened or not.
1) Click on the Palette Editor on the right side of the application if it is closed.
2) Locate and Select the symbol next to the desired BRAND as shown in Figure 20 (i.e. Sony,
Panasonic etc). A list of Components will appear. (See later section for ‘Adding Brands’.)
3) Locate and Select the symbol next to the type of COMPONENT as shown in Figure 21
(DVD, SAT etc) (See later section for ‘Adding Components and Functions’).
4) The Palette Editor will now be open to the “Brand” & “Component” selected. A list of
FUNCTIONS for that type of component will appear as shown in Figure 22. Review the list of
Functions and compare to the source remote. If your function is not displayed or not named
appropriately see the section entitled ‘Editing Function Names in the Palette Editor.
5) Click on the RECORD button in the middle of the Palette Editor.
The RECORD button text will become highlighted.
Dragon is now ready to learn the IR codes for the specific brand/component selected.
Note: Before performing step 6, read steps 6 thru 8 as the RECORD process is a timed
function. You will have 10seconds to perform the process before the system times out.
6) Place the Teaching remote pointed towards the IR Learn eye on the XTR39.
