The RCU has the ability to learn the commands of other remote control
units, such as TV remotes or VCR remotes. This allows the most-used
commands on those remotes to be combined on the RCU. These original
remote control units are also known as source remotes. Learning is not
active in the PC mode.
Learning Tips
1. All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a different
device to that mode.
2. Perform the learning process in low-light areas because too much
ambient light might cause interference with the infrared (IR) signals
of the remotes.
3. Use fresh batteries in both the RCU and the original remote.
4. Set the two remotes on a table or other flat surface, and
don’t move them around while learning.
Code Learning
Codes from the Remote Code List include basic functionality for
each component they control. Once you have programmed in the
code for your specific component (using either the Automatic Code
Search or Direct Entry method), you can customize the RCU to perform
certain functions from your original remote(s) that were not embedded
in the preset code. The RCU has the ability to learn and store commands
from your original remote(s) under the mode(s) of your choice.
Learning Commands
For the following section, the TV remote control unit will be used as an
example. Learning from other types of remotes will be done in a
similar way.
1) First press and hold the device button on the RCU for the component
remote you are learning from (the TV button on the RCU, for
example) then press and hold the RECORD button on the RCU.
2) Keep pressing both buttons until all device mode buttons turn on.
Release both buttons. The selected device button will remain on
indicating which device is being programmed.
NOTE: The first two steps to learn commands must be completed within 2
seconds to learn without entering the Menu Program Method.

3) On the RCU, press and release the button where you want to store the new function (the
device button turns off).
Note: If you press an invalid button on the remote, the device mode button flashes 4 times
to alert you. You’ll have to repeat step 3.
4) Position the source remote facing the bottom of the RCU no more than 2 inches apart.
Press and hold the button of the source remote that has the functionality you are
recording. Keep pressing the button until the RCU device mode button light turns on (the
source function has been saved to the TV mode on the RCU).
Note: If all device mode buttons flash 4 times, the function wasn’t learned. Try again
starting with Step 1.
5) The RCU remains in the “learning mode” so you can continue adding functions to
different buttons by repeating steps 3 and 4.
6) Press CLEAR to exit the learning mode.
Clearing an Individual Learned Function
To delete a learned button function, use the procedure below.
1. Press and hold the device mode button (the device button lights). Then press and hold
the STOP button. Hold both buttons depressed until all device mode buttons turn on.
NOTE: This step to must be completed within 2 seconds to be able to clear an individual
learned function without entering the Menu Program Method.
2. Release both buttons. The device mode button turns on indicating that the RCU is now in
the Clear Learned Function mode for that device.
3. Press and release the button where learning is to be cleared. The device mode button
blinks off then back on indicating that the function was cleared successfully.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 until all the buttons’ learned functions have been cleared.
Note: If an invalid button is pressed, the device mode button flashes 4 times, the
selected component button stays on, and the RCU remains in Clear Learned Function
mode. Repeat Step 3 to continue the clearing process.
5. Press the CLEAR button to return the RCU to normal operation.
Deleting All Learned Functions - One Device
To delete all learned functions for one device at one time, use the procedure below.
1. Press and hold the device mode button (the device button lights). Then press and hold
the CLEAR button. Hold both buttons depressed until all device mode buttons turn on.
NOTE: This step to must be completed within 2 seconds to be able to clear all learned
