● 3.3.8.1-mvn ● 1.6.5.1-mvn Also, the Nova Remote is designed to support Broadcom based STB’s and limited support for Sigma STB’s. For Broadcom versions, the RC will support both IR and RF; however, for Sigma based Hydra and Amulet-D series, the remote will only work in IR mode. RF requirements for Sigma-based STBs should continue to use the Entone URC.

“.+menu” while the URC remotes required “input+menu”. 3. It is also important to note that the Nova remote control has a faster repeat rate than the URC and as a result, some customers may see notice the STB receiving two keys when a key is pressed.

Remote Registration Description: Nova remote supports both IR and RF and registration allows user to set for IR or RF. By default the remote is in IR mode. Programming Sequence: To register the remote to the STB and use RF: ...
Description: Learning capacity provides the opportunity to control devices not originally designed for the remote control creating increased support for multiple devices. The NOVA remote can receive and store codes transmitted by another device’s remote control such that the other device will understand the button requests from the NOVA remote.

After pressing a MODE key, any key-press besides a digit key or a digit key not associated in the brand list will cause the unit to display one long blink and exit programming mode. The unit shall exit programming state if 10 seconds has elapsed between key presses, remain in the current mode and return to normal operation.
Example: To lock the STB ID: [STB] <<SETUP>> <9> <8> <2> (2 blinks) To unlock the STB ID: [STB] <<SETUP>> <9> <8> <2> (4 blinks) Simple Volume Lock Description: Alternative options for setting the volume lock and unlock status for available devices without requiring a 9-X-X sequence.
Global Volume Lock: <<SETUP>> <VOLUME UP> <TV> Device Specific Un-Lock: <<SETUP>> <VOLUME DOWN > <AUX> Global Volume Unlock: <<SETUP <MUTE> Global Channel Lock Description: Allows user to lock channel control to specific device modes. Keys affected: Channel Up/Down, Digits 0-9, Dot\Delimiter\Dash, and Previous Channel. Channel Control will reset back to default by either 981 or 977 sequence.

o Length of <Macro Sequence> is over the limit (15 keys). o Failure to store into Data Retention Area due to memory full or Low Voltage. Macro Playback Operation: If a “mode key” is a part of macro sequence, the remote will switch to that mode and all subsequent keys will be in this mode thereafter.

7. Exit learning mode by pressing <<SETUP>>, or by time out. At step 5, one long blink indicates learning failure, which could be: Bad capture (try again) Memory full (delete some other function) Unlearn-able code At step 1, one long blink indicates low battery or faulty Flash Partition (i.e. the unit will not go into learn mode if either of these conditions exist).
Upon entry of an invalid key sequence, the remote control shall display one long blink and return to normal operation. The unit shall exit programming state and return to normal operation if 10 seconds has elapsed between key presses. Example: To learn the TV input function to the input key.
