Learning A Pre-Programming Code - Onkyo TX-DS898 Instruction Manual

Learning a pre-programming code

The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering
the signal number for a remote controller of another brand that is pre-
programmed. Another is a normal learning function that enables the
remote controller to learn the codes from other remote controllers.
And the last is a macro learning function that enables you to program
a series of operations into the remote controller so that the operations
can all be performed at once by pressing one button.
