Learning Commands From Another Remote Controller - Onkyo TX-NR901 Instruction Manual

Using the Remote Controller with Other Components—Continued
Learning Commands from Another
Remote Controller
You can teach the TX-NR901's remote controller new
commands simply by transmitting commands from
another remote controller one at time. For example, by
transmitting the Play and Stop commands from your CD
player's remote controller, the TX-NR901's remote con-
troller 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 (page 88).
1
Press and hold the [CUSTOM]
CUSTOM
button for more than three sec-
onds.
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.
The following remote controller modes
can be selected: DVD, TV, VCR, CBL,
or SAT.
4
On the TX-NR901's remote con-
troller, press the button you want
to teach the new command.
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 learnt
successfully, "OK" appears on the dis-
play. You may need to press the button
several times.
If the command is not learnt success-
fully, after the message "FAIL" has
been displayed, the mode select display
reappears (step 3), and you should try
again.
6
To teach the TX-NR901'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], and the scroll wheel button.
• The TX-NR901'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 controller
cannot learn any more commands because its memory
is full.
• By default, the TX-NR901's remote controller knows
the commands for controlling an Onkyo CD player,
cassette deck, DVD player, and MD player (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 procedure.
• Like most remote controllers, the TX-NR901's remote
controller uses infrared. Commands from remote con-
trollers that don't use infrared cannot be learnt.
• When the remote controller's batteries expire, all
learnt commands will be lost and will have to learnt all
over again, so don't discard your other remote control-
lers.
