Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the TV you want to operate.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the TV in the Remote Code List at the
end of this booklet.
3. Press and hold the TV button on the RCU.
4. Enter the 4-digit code from the Remote Code List. If all the mode buttons flash,
you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.
5. Release the TV button, point the RCU at the TV, and then press the ON/OFF
button to see if the TV responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the TV
button and then ON/OFF again.
If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for
your brand, until the TV responds to the remote commands.
If you try all the codes for your TV brand and none work, try the
automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the
code, the remote is not compatible with your TV.
Learning
The RCU has the ability to learn the commands of other remote control units. 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. Perform the learning process in low-light areas because too much ambient light
might cause interference with the infrared (IR) signals of the remotes.
2. Use fresh batteries in both the Media Center RCU and the original remote.
Code Learning
Codes from the Remote Code List include basic functionality for each TV they control.
Once you have programmed in the code for your specific TV, 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).
Learning Commands
To learn from your other TV remotes follow these simple instructions.
1) First press and hold the TV button on the Gyration remote, then press and
hold the RECORD button on the Gyration remote.
2) Keep pressing both buttons until the TV mode button light turns off,
flashes, and turns off. Release both buttons.
