Programming The Commands Of Remote Controllers For Other Devices Into The Remote Controller - Onkyo TX-DS696 Instruction Manual

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the
remote controller
4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to
the command you are programming) on the remote
controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN
lamp on the remote controller flashes twice.
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light
again.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands
you desire from the other remote controller and
program them to buttons on the remote controller
under the same MODE.
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different
MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote
controller).
6. Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to
complete the programming.
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure
the learning function was performed properly.
Notes:
• The remote controller codes for Onkyo compact disc players,
cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recorder have
already been programmed into buttons on the remote controller.
You may, however, use these buttons to program the codes for
other remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Onkyo preset
codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new
codes (see page 56).
• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 modes × 51
buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands
that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases,
it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are
more important than others.
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the
programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during
programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
Resume from Step 2.
• If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN
indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
• If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, the
remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from
Step 3.
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote
controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times
quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
Try programming under a different MODE button.
• When you want to program a command to a button to which you
have already programmed a command, simply follow the same
procedure given and programming for that button will be
overwritten.
• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands,
as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote
controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be
aware that some remote controllers use a system that is quite
different from the remote controller and therefore may not be
able to be programmed.
• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs
multiple functions (for example, the function may change each
time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must
be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.
• Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote
controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that
product for instructions on how to operate that product.
• Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote
controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that
are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the
other remote controller properly into the remote controller.
See page 56 for how to erase the memorized commands from all
buttons.
