Learning Commands From Another Remote Controller - Onkyo TX-NR1000 Instruction Manual

Learning Commands from Another
Remote Controller
You can teach the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E's remote
controller new commands simply by transmitting com-
mands from another remote controller one at a time. For
example, by transmitting the Play and Stop commands
from your CD player's remote controller, the
TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E's remote controller can be
taught to transmit those commands when its Play [
and Stop [ ] buttons are pressed in CD mode.
This is convenient when you want to add commands to
buttons after entering a remote control code (See page
129).
1
Press and hold the [CUSTOM] but-
ton for more than three seconds.
CUSTOM
The remote controller enters Custom
mode.
2 Roll the scroll wheel to select
"LEARN," and then press the
scroll wheel.
3
Roll the scroll wheel to select the
the remote controller mode you
want to teach a new command,
and then press the scroll wheel.
4 On the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E's
remote controller, press the button
you want to teach the new com-
mand.
If you press a button that cannot be
taught a new command, the message
"RETRY" appears and you should press
another button.

5
Point the remote controllers at
each other, about 2 to 6 inches (5–
15 cm) apart, and then, on the
other remote controller, press the
button whose command you want
to learn.
When the command has been learned
successfully, "OK" appears on the dis-
play. You may need to press the button
]
several times.
If the command is not learned success-
fully, after the message "FAIL" has been
displayed, the mode select display reap-
pears (step 3), and you should try again.

To teach the TX-NR1000/
TX-NR5000E's remote controller
more new commands, repeat
steps 3 through 5.
Press the [CUSTOM] button when
you've finished.
Notes:
• The following buttons cannot be taught new com-
mands: [LIGHT], [CUSTOM], [MACRO], [MODE],
[INPUT], [ZONE 2], [ZONE 3], and the scroll wheel
button.
• The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E's remote controller
can learn a total of 150 commands. However, the
commands of some remote controllers may use a lot
of memory, in which case, this total will be reduced.
• If the message "FULL" appears, the remote control-
ler cannot learn any more commands because its
memory is full.
• By default, the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E's remote
controller knows the commands for controlling an
Onkyo CD player, cassette deck, DVD player, and
MD recorder (e.g., Play, Stop, Pause, etc., buttons).
You can teach these buttons new commands, although
the defaults will be restored if the remote controller is
reset.
• To teach a new command to a button that has already
been taught a command, simply repeat this proce-
dure.
• Like most remote controllers, the TX-NR1000/
TX-NR5000E's remote controller uses infrared.
Commands from remote controllers that don't use
infrared cannot be learned.
• When the remote controller's batteries expire, all
learned commands will be lost and will have to
learned all over again, so don't discard your other
remote controllers.
