Clearing a Mode-Dependent Macro:
1. Press and hold "SETUP" until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
2. Press "978".
3. Press the device key where you programmed the macro (AMP, SAT, TNR, CD, AUX and DVD).
4. Press the macro's activation key.
5. Press and hold "SETUP" until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
The A-BUS™ Universal Remote includes a learning feature so you can add functions that are
unique to your home entertainment devices (e.g. VCR Tracking Up or Down).
However, there are some considerations:
Learning Precautions
• Your original remote controls must be in working order for Learning to work properly.
• Learned keys are mode specific, so each one can store a unique function for each mode.
• Learned keys can be used in macros (see Using Macros).
• Do not use the following keys for learning : Device Keys or SETUP Key.
• Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25 keys, depending on the code being learned.
• Certain device codes are not learnable including multi-frequency types, some high frequency
ones, and other unusual formats.
• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light such as natural sunlight or energy-efficient
fluorescent lights.
NOTE: Please have your original remote controls handy before programming learning.
Programming a Learned Key
NOTE: If more than 10 seconds pass between key presses, the remote exits programming.
1. Press and hold "SETUP" until LED flashes twice.
2. Press "975".
3. Press a device key once (i.e., AMP, SAT, TNR, CD, AUX and DVD) to assign a mode for learning.
4. Place the A-BUS™ Universal Remote head-to-head about 2" (5cm) apart from original remote control.
Also locate the key (on your original remote control) that will serve as the teaching function.
5. On the A-BUS™ Universal Remote, press a key where the learned function will be stored.
6. On the original remote, press and hold the key to be learned. The A-BUS™ Universal Remote's
LED will turn off. Continue holding the key on the original remote until the A-BUS™ Universal
Remote's LED blinks twice.
NOTE: If the LED displays one long blink, a learning error has occurred. Try repeating this step
again until a successful capture occurs. If the function is still not captured, press and hold "SETUP"
to exit programming and review the "Learning Precautions" above. If needed, also see "Trouble-
shooting". After review, start programming again at step 1.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for another device and/or key or press and hold "SETUP" to exit
programming.

Using Learning
Deleting All Learned Keys in a Specific Mode
1. Press and hold "SETUP" until the LED blinks twice.
NOTE: If more than 10 seconds pass between key presses, the remote exits programming.
2. Press "976".
3. Press a device key twice (i.e., AMP, SAT, TNR, CD, AUX and DVD) to clear all the learned keys
for that mode. The LED blinks twice.
4. Repeat step 3 for another device key or press and hold "SETUP" to exit programming.
PROBLEM: LED does not blink when you press a key.
SOLUTION: Replace battery with two new AA alkaline batteries.
PROBLEM: LED blinks when you press a key, but device does not respond.
SOLUTION: Make sure the remote is aimed at your device and is not more than 15 feet
(4.5m) away.
PROBLEM: LED blinks one long blink.
SOLUTION: An entry error has occurred (for example, wrong key). Try entry sequence again.
PROBLEM: Remote does not control devices or commands are not working properly.
SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the device. Make sure the device operates with an infrared
remote control.
PROBLEM: "CH+", "CH-", and LAST do not work for your RCA TV.
SOLUTION: Due to RCA's design from 1983 to 1987, only the original remote control will
operate these functions.
PROBLEM: No volume on a device.
SOLUTION: See "Changing Volume Lock"
PROBLEM: Channels do not change properly.
SOLUTION: If the original remote control required you to press Enter to change channel, press
Enter on this remote after entering the channel number.
Deleting a Single Learning Key
1. Press and hold "SETUP" until the LED flashes twice.
NOTE: If more that 10 seconds pass between key
presses, the remote exits programming.
2. Press "976".
3. Press the device key once (i.e., AMP, SAT, TNR, CD,
2"
(5cm)
AUX and DVD).
4. Press the key containing the learned function to be
deleted twice. The remote LED blinks twice.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for another key or press
and hold "SETUP" to exit programming
