REMOTE CONTROL - pROGRAMMING

Using Learning

The SRC-C5 includes a Learning feature so you can add functions that are unique
to your home entertainment devices (e.g., VCR Tracking Up or Down). The following
precautions apply:
• The original remote control must be in working order and available for learning to
work properly.
• Learned keys are mode specific, so each one can store a unique function for each
mode.
• Do not use the following keys for learning: Device Keys, SET, Back, or Record.
• Learning capacity is approximately 40 to 100 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.

Programming a learned key

Note: If more than 15 seconds pass between key presses, the remote exits programming.
1. Press and hold SET until LED flashes twice.
2. Press 9-7-5.
3. Press a device key once to assign a mode for learning.
4. Place the SRC-C5 head-to-head (about 2" apart) from your original remote control.
Also locate the key (on original remote control) that will serve as the teaching
function.
5. On the SRC-C5, press a key where the learned function will be stored.
6. On the original remote, press and hold the the key to be learned. The SRC-C5 LED
will turn off. Continue holding the key on the original remote until the SRC-C5 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 SET to exit programming. Review the learning precautions listed
above, or the Troubleshooting tips below, before beginning again at step 1.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for another key on same device, or repeat steps 1-6 for another
device.

Deleting a single learning key
1. Select a source.
2. Press and hold SET until the LED flashes twice.
3. Press 9-7-6.
4. Press the key (twice) containing the learned function to be deleted. The remote
blinks twice.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for another key on the same source, or press and hold SET to exit
programming.
Deleting all learned keys in a specific mode
1. Press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice.
2. Press 9-7-6.
3. Press a device key twice to delete all the learned keys for that mode. The LED blinks
twice.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for another set of keys for a device, or press and hold SET to exit
programming.

Changing Volume Lock

The SRC-C5 remote is preset to allow independent volume control of each selected
device (Global Volume Unlock). However, you may change the Volume Lock setting to
Global Volume Lock so that one device's volume will control volume in all other modes.
After that, you can perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to set its
volume control for independent operation or Global Volume Unlock to remove all
volume locking.
Locking Volume Control to One Mode (Global Volume Lock)
1. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
2. Enter 9-9-3 and then press the mode key for the device you want to control volume
(e.g., TV). The LED blinks twice. Now when you press VOL+, VOL-, or Mute, the
selected device will control the volume regardless of the current mode.
Unlocking All Volume Control (Restoring Global Unlock)
1. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
2. Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL+. The LED blinks four times. Volume is independently
controlled for all programmed devices.
Unlocking a Single Device's Volume Control
1. Press a device key (VID, DVD, etc.).
2. Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
3. Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL-. The LED blinks four times. Volume is independently
controlled for the selected devices.
