Almost Clean" Installation - One for All EXTENDER A1 FOR URC-7780 Instructions Manual

may use Change Device Label to set your desired labels for the LCD display, and Move Device to change
their order on the display, but note that this does not change the Device Numbers.
Next, scroll to the TV device and press the Record key (once – double keypress not required). The LED
should flash four times. You have now entered the extender!
Now download the device setup to IR.exe and save it as a .ir file (in case of accidents!). Use IR.exe with
Remote Master to install any device or protocol upgrades. If the upgrades include key moves, you will be
told that no device has yet been assigned to this setup code – do you want to assign it now? Yes you do,
assign it to Device n, where n is the number of the device concerned in your initial setup. You will have
used the default setup code for this device type in that initial setup, this will change it to the code you are
currently installing.
When you have installed all your upgrades, go to the General tab of IR.exe and check the Device Buttons
table, which lists the buttons as Dev1 to Dev12, to see if they are now all assigned to the correct codes. If
you installed a device code from Remote Master that did not include key moves, this will not yet have
been assigned to the correct device. Also, the TV device will need to be changed to the code for your TV.
Just change the code in the Device Buttons list. If you want to use Volume PunchThrough, go to the
Other Settings table on the General tab, set VPT Device to the device you want Volume to use – the
choice is Dev1 to Dev12, and change VPT Status from Off to On. All devices are automatically included
in the volume lock. To remove a device from volume lock you need to set up a macro – more on this
below.
After this, go to File/Save to update the initial .ir file you saved, or use Save As to give a different name if
you want to preserve the initial one.
Upload this setup to the remote. You won't get the warning this time about different signatures, as both
the upload and the device will have the signature of the exender. Go again through setting Language, Day
and Time. You will then enter normal operation with the TV device selected. Press the Record key as
before. You have now completed the basic installation of the extender for your devices and should
continue reading at section 3.

2.4 "Almost Clean" installation

An "almost clean" installation is a special type of upgrade installation. It enables you to carry device
upgrades forward from the unextended remote to the extender. Any device upgrades can be preserved in
this way, whether they were installed through an internet or a phone upgrade or with Remote Master and
IR.exe. Note, however, that many device upgrades created with Remote Master (but not those installed
through an internet or phone upgrade) include Key Moves ("Key Magic" entries) and Key Moves are not
preserved. These upgrades need to be deleted before the upgrade step of the installation and re-installed
afterwards, so make sure you still have the Remote Master upgrade files for them before you start.
The first step involves deleting all the devices that you have currently installed in your remote. If you are
happy with these devices, the labels for them and the order in which these labels appear in the LCD
window, make a note of these labels and their order, starting with TV. Use this when you come to
reinstall the devices as part of the installation procedure, but do not omit this first step.
To perform this first step, make a long keypress of the Magic key to enter device setup. Then press Enter
twice followed by LCDLeft to select Initial Setup/Device/Delete Device. Press Enter. The LCD display
will change to show a device label with its device code underneath, or possibly HT (Home Theatre) which
displays without a device code. If it shows HT, press LCDRight to navigate to the next device.
Otherwise, just continue with the default device displayed. Press Enter again. This will delete that device
and return the display to Delete Device. Repeatedly press Enter twice to delete all devices, skipping HT
as above if necessary. After the final deletion the display will read Add Device, rather than Delete
Device. Press Enter four times. The first press displays the list of devices that can be added, with the
pointer at TV. The second selects the TV device and displays Code Setup. The third displays TV with its
