Learning Tips; Learning Ir Codes One At A Time - Home Theater Master MX700 Manual

Learning Tips

Fresh Batteries in the Original Remote Control - Weak batteries will cause MXEditor to fail to cor-
rectly learn. Note that EVEN if the original remote still operates the component the batteries can be too
weak to produce a strong enough carrier for any learning remote control to detect!!!! When a code fails,
replace the batteries FIRST!
Tap instead of Pressing and Holding - With some codes, this will produce better results. Normally, you
should press and hold.
The "Flutter" Technique - If you are having problems with a Code that has to be sustained (like volume
up or down), sometimes fluttering the button while in learn mode will reduce errors.
The "Semaphor" Technique - Use a book or another opaque object inbetween the two remotes. Press
the button on the original remote, then remove the obstruction for a moment, then put it back. Experiment
with different timings.

and point the connected MX700 at the component to test if it really is good! Reteach as necessary.

Step by Step Tutorial
Start with the remote controls an inch apart. Vary the learning distance from
1" to as much as 4 feet if the code doesn't test correctly. Make sure the
remotes are pointed head to head!
