Programming Signals From Other Remote Controls; Erasing One Of The Remote Control Button Settings - Pioneer SC-81 Operating Instructions Manual

Programming signals from other remote controls

If the preset code for your component is not available, or the available preset codes do not operate correctly, you
can program signals from the remote control of another component. This can also be used to program additional
operations (buttons not covered in the presets) after assigning a preset code.
The remote can store about 120 preset codes from other components (this has been tested with codes of Pioneer
format only).
Certain buttons represent operations that cannot be learned from other remote controls. The buttons available
are shown below:

4 Press the corresponding button on the other remote control that is sending (teaching) the
signal to this receiver's remote control.
If the LED lights for one second and continues to flash, the setting has been successfully completed.
! If the LED flashes for five seconds, it means the memory is full. See
input function on page 82 to erase a programmed button you're not using to free up more memory (note
that some signals may take more memory than others).
! Note that interference from TVs or other devices will sometimes result in the remote control learning the
wrong signal.
! Some commands from other remote controls cannot be learned, but in most cases the remotes just need to
be moved closer together or farther apart.
5 To program additional signals for the current component repeat steps 3 and 4.
To program signals for another component, exit and repeat steps 2 through 4.
6 Press RCU SETUP to exit the programming mode.
