1 Press and hold the balance (BAL) button until “0L” appears in

the display. A momentary press of the balance button will, of

course, simply place the PRE in balance mode. When you press

and hold the balance button instead, the PRE will wait for a

few seconds to make sure that your press-and-hold action is

quite deliberate, and then enter a teaching mode which allows

you to program a learning remote control with infrared (IR)

commands. The PRE’s

main display will show a number and

the letter “L” (for “Learn”) when in this mode.

The PRE will display a “0L” code when it has entered its

teaching mode and is ready to help the remote control learn

the commands that correspond to the PRE’s front panel but-

tons. If no further buttons are pressed within approximately

ten seconds, the PRE will “time out” and return to normal

operation.

2 Press and hold the mute button until “1L” appears in the dis-

play. You will see the usual small yellow LED light up when

you first press the mute button, indicating that the PRE is

sending the IR code for the mute function. By continuing to

hold this button, however, you are instructing the PRE to give

you access to programming options beyond those represented

by the front panel buttons.

The table below lists the special commands which are available

for the PRE. In the second column are the programming “codes”

used in the main display to represent those special commands.

special commands table

stereo/mono toggle 1L

polarity normal/inverted toggle 2L

display on/off toggle 3L

direct access to main path 4L

direct access to record path 5L

direct access to operate 6L

direct access to standby 7L

direct access to mute on (e.g., volume reduced)8L

direct access to mute off (e.g., volume normal)9L

3 Use the volume +/– buttons to select the code that corresponds

to the special function you would like to teach your remote

control. Pressing the volume + button will increase the program

code number by one; volume – will decrease the program code

number by one. Select the desired code number from the list

above.

4 Momentarily press the mute button to transmit that code. Line

up the IR window of the PRE remote control with the center

of the main display of the PRE, at a distance of approximately

6"-12". Select the to-be-learned button on the remote, then

fire the selected code from the PRE.
