  • Page 4: Getting Started

    T h e C u s t o m i z e r Getting Started Congratulations! You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup control systems available. The Customizer’s built-in library includes thousands of different brands and models of remote controls.

  • Page 7: Basic Setup

    Basic Setup You can start setting up your Customizer using either the Pre-Programmed Method or the Learning Method. However, all the buttons of the Customizer are setup at once with the Pre-Programmed Method, so it is usually faster than the one-button-at-a-time Learning Method. Pre-Programmed Method Power on the A/V component you wish to setup, so that you can test codes by sending power off commands.

  • Page 11 When the display shows “MAIN”, you are back in normal operating mode. Now it’s time to test all the buttons. If some buttons don’t work, try repeating steps 1-9, to see if you can improve the match to your component. For Example: My Sony TV powered off with TV code number 139.

  • Page 12: Learning Method

    T h e C u s t o m i z e r Learning Method The Customizer can learn commands from your old remote controls one-button-at-a-time by following these simple steps: Line-up the Customizer with your old remote control, head-to-head, one or two inches apart. Press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time for approximately three seconds.
  • Page 13 The display will show a list of the first seven devices. Select the device you would like to teach commands to by pressing the Device button. Devices Press any button you want to teach a command to. Note: If you don’t see the display button you would like to teach, use the PAGE buttons.

The Customizer’s unique DoubleTap learning technology ensures compatibility with the widest variety of remote controls ever!

  • Page 15: Volume Control Punch Through

    Volume Control Punch Through In most home entertainment systems, the sound volume is only controlled by one device. In some systems, it is the TV speakers that make the sound, so you would use the TV device on the Customizer to raise and lower the volume.
