Universal Learning Remote with Touchscreen Congratulations on your purchase of the RCU1010RF. This unit is one of the most sophisticated, yet easy to use, remote controls available today. With the RCU1010RF, juggling multiple remote controls is a thing of the past! This one unit controls up to nine components, including the most popular brands of TV, VCR, DVD, PVR, SAT/CBL, CD and AUDIO equipment.
RCU1010RF LEARN key LED indicator light Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) MACRO Key BACKLIGHT key SETUP key Quick Access keys LCD Touchscreen The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) touchscreen on your RCU1010RF acts as a “virtual keypad.” This touchscreen makes it easy to program and use your remote with many components. Once you select a component key on the LCD touchscreen (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), you put the remote in that mode, and it remains in that mode until you press another mode key.
Enter Setup Mode The following are the screen selections available in the Setup Mode. 1. Code Setup Mode? 2. Code Search Mode? 3. Key Labels Mode? 4. Set SmartMacro? 5. Delete a Macro? (Only appears once a Macro function has been programmed.) 6. Macro Key Delay Edit? (Only appears once a Macro function has been programmed.) 7. Setup a Timer? 8. Delete a Timer? (Only appears once a Timer function has been set.) 9. Learn IR Mode? 10. Delete IR Mode? (Only appears once an IR function has been learned.) 11.
During a Setup function, if no key is pressed for 60 seconds, the unit automatically exits from the Setup mode. The LED indicator light flashes an error in this instance, and the LCD displays the TimeOut Screen for three seconds. Any operation that is not completed when the timeout occurs is not saved. General Setup Notes 1. When in Setup Mode, pressing the LCD LEARN key automatically forwards to the Learn IR Mode? Screen. 2.
Code Entry Code List Entry In order for the RCU1010RF to control your components (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), you must program it with the corresponding code from the Code Lists. This enables the remote to control your component with the proper commands. If your TV, VCR, DVD, or satellite receiver is an RCA, ProScan or GE brand, the RCU1010RF may not need any programming to control it.
Code List Entry (continued) 4. Press and release the desired component key (TV, VCR, SAT, etc.) on the LCD touchscreen. For AUX, press and release the LCD AUX key followed by the desired component key to be programmed under that key. Note: The AUX key automatically defaults to CABLE mode unless another selection is made. 5. Enter the three-digit code for your component brand from the corresponding Code Lists at the back of this manual. If your brand has more than one code listed, begin with the first code.
7. The current code being sent is displayed in the upper right-hand corner. Note: The Code Search starts from the currently stored code under that mode. For example, if the component Code List contains 100 codes and the currently stored code is 050, the Code Search starts from 051 and continues to 100 before looping back to 000 and finishing at 050.
Code Autosearch (continued) 9. Once the component to be controlled responds to the commands, press and release the LCD OK key to save the code. After you install its code, all key labels and any previously Learned commands will be reset. Note: If your component responds to the command, and the RCU1010RF sends the next code before you have a chance to press and release the LCD OK key, you can backtrack through the Code List by pressing CH- or the LCD DOWN ARROW.
Key Label Options With the RCU1010RF, you have the ability to customize the LCD key labels to meet your needs. Key Label Options allow you to change the LCD key labels to match the functions on your original component remote controls. It is recommended that the Key Label Options feature be used only after you have finished programming all your components. This feature allows you to select from multiple preset key labels to be shown on the touchscreen.
Change LCD Key Labels Within a Component (continued) Note: To reset the current key labels within a component to their default settings, press and hold the current component key for three seconds. Resetting any key label within a component to its power-on default setting results in an automatic save for that mode. This will not affect your program codes or any Learned commands. Performing this reset will not reset the component key back to its default setting.
Learned Key Reference Page IMPORTANT NOTE: You cannot learn any commands under the LCD LEARN, LCD MACRO, SETUP, BACKLIGHT or any LCD component keys. The following screen can be used to store learned keys under a component mode. This page can be used to document the learned keys.
Learning Learning Tips Before transferring commands from your original remote to the RCU1010RF, check out these useful tips on Learning. 1. Make sure you are using fresh batteries in both the RCU1010RF and your original remote(s). 2. It is recommended that a Master Clear be done before attempting any Learning. This clears all Learned commands for all component modes. (See section on Master Clear.) 3.
1. Gather all the remotes that you want to learn and have them all lined up on a flat surface before going into the Learn IR Mode. 2. Place the first original remote in the Learning position (see Learning Tips section on pg. 14). Point the top of the original remote at the base of the RCU1010RF so the IR LED on the original remote is in line with the RCU1010RRF Learn sensor, located at the bottom of the remote. The remotes should be positioned 2-3 inches apart. 3.
Clear All Stored Learned Commands Under a Mode (continued) 4. Press and release the desired component key for the Learned commands you want the RCU1010RF to clear (TV, VCR, SAT, AUX, etc.). Note: Only the components that have Learned commands are shown on the LCD touchscreen. 5. The Confirm to Delete? Screen is displayed. Press and release the OK key on the LCD touchscreen. The display shows the Deleting Wait Screen.
SmartMacro Key Operations Your RCU1010RF’s SmartMacro feature allows you to execute a sequence of commands with one keypress. A SmartMacro learns any sequence of original remote commands. A total of 20 Learned commands can be stored under each of the nine available LCD Macro keys. If you program all 20 keys into a SmartMacro, the Macro is automatically stored after the twentieth Learned command is completed.
Program a SmartMacro (continued) 12. Once you are finished programming the Macro, press and release the LCD OK key to confirm and save. 13. The touchscreen returns to the Set SmartMacro? Screen. 14. The SmartMacro programming is complete. To exit the Setup Mode, press and release the LCD EXIT key, followed by the LCD OK key on the Exit Setup Screen. Note: If the LCD EXIT key does not respond, press and release the SETUP key repeatedly until the Exit Setup Screen appears.
5. The LCD touchscreen displays the Confirm To Delete? Screen. Press and release the OK key on the LCD. Note: If you are in the process of deleting a SmartMacro and you decide not to delete it, you can abort the deletion process by pressing the LCD EXIT key. 6. If there are additional Macros already programmed, the touchscreen displays the Delete a Macro? Screen again. You may delete additional macros at this point, if you wish. 7.

You can increase the delay time in 0.5 second increments. Pressing the LCD EXIT key programs the default delay of 0.5 seconds. 6. After each inter-key delay you program, press and release the LCD OK key to advance to the next inter-key delay. 7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each inter-key delay in the stored Macro sequence. 8.
7. The minutes (MM) digits are now flashing. Press and release the LCD UP or DOWN ARROW key to select the minutes. Press and release the LCD OK key. 8. Press and release the LCD OK key again to confirm and save. 9. Once the first Event Timer is set, the LCD displays the Timer 2 Mode? Screen for setting the next Event Timer. If you want to set another Event Timer, repeat steps 4-8. If you do not want to set any more Event Timers, press and release the LCD EXIT key.
Delete an Event Timer (continued 6. The Confirm to Delete? Screen is displayed. Press and release the LCD OK key. This display returns to either the Delete a Timer Screen or, if no more Event Timers have been programmed, to the Exit Setup Screen. 7. Deleting an Event Timer is now complete.
