SRC-1600 User’s Manual Using preset codes This is the fastest way to program the SRC-1600 but requires that your device be located in the Pre-programmed Code List that was bundled with the SRC-1600. The SRC-1600 comes preprogrammed with a list of preset codes. Check the supplied code list to see if your device is supported. Some newer or less common devices may not be pre-programmed and their codes must be learned using the learning function of the SRC-1600. See Manually setting preset codes on page 13.
Using preset codes Manually setting preset codes 1. Find your device in the supplied list of preset codes. 2. Press and hold 3. Press to enter setup. . 4. Find the digit code number from the pre-programmed code list. 5. Use the number buttons to enter the four digit code. (Refer to the pre-programmed code list table.)After you enter the last digit, a double beep sounds, confirming the code has been input. If the number isn’t in the code data base, the SRC-1600 will beep three times continuously.
