Getting Started - Overview Control up to 7 Components The WR7 remote control is designed to control up to seven different Audio/Video components and operate virtually all brands of AUDIO, TV, DVD, VCR/DVR, CD, SAT/CABLE and AUX (Light, Music Server, etc.) components. Activating Component Buttons Once you have programmed the WR7 for all of your components, all you need...
AUX Function The AUX (Auxillary) button is designed to operate a 7th audio/video component that you may have in your system… such as a TIVO, a second VCR or DVD, or an addi- tional audio component. Light Button The WR7 features a fully backlit keypad for ease of use in low light or darkened viewing conditions.
Special Advanced Features The WR7 also offers the following special advanced features that can offer you many time-saving conveniences: MacroPower & Other Macro ™ Buttons MacroPower is a unique feature that enables you to turn all your components ON or OFF, all at the same time, simply with the press of one button.
Keypad Layout & Button Functions Allows you to turn the selected component on and off. AUD, CD, VCR, AUX, TV, DVD,SAT/CABLE Used to select the com- ponent you want to operate and signals remote control activity. INPUT Selects the video source from avail- able components.
Programming WR7 using Pre-Programmed Codes There are three ways you can program your WR7 using the component brand codes that are pre-programmed into the remote. • Quick Set-Up Method • Three-Digit Code Entry Method • Auto--Search Method The Quick Set-Up Method is a unique new fea- ture that enables the fastest and easiest set-up by using one-digit codes for up to 10 major brands for each component.

STEP 3: Release the component button to save the code. The component LED light will blink three times to confirm that the code has been stored. Repeat the above steps for other components. COMPONENT BUTTONS NUMBER Page 10...
Three-Digit Code Entry Method STEP 1: Find the 3-digit code numbers assigned to your brand from the lists in the back of this manual. The codes are listed by component category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), then by brand name. For instance, if you would like to locate a code for a Sony television, first locate the TV category and then look for the Sony brand.

IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in pro- gramming mode. If you do not press a but- ton within 30 seconds, the component LED light will turn off. The remote will exit the programming mode and you will have to start over.
Page 13
STEP 7: Once you’ve entered a correct code, you must save it. Press the com- ponent button you just programmed (in this case TV) one more time to save the code number. The component LED light will blink three times to confirm that the code was success- fully stored.
Auto-Search Method The Auto-Search Method is a way you can scan through all of the codes in the table to find the right code for your component. Manually or using your old remote, STEP 1: turn on the component you want to pro- gram—for example, to program your TV, turn on your TV set.
STEP 3: Point the WR7 remote control toward the component and press the UP [ arrow (or DOWN [ ] arrow) button once. Each time the UP or DOWN arrow button is pressed, the code will count up (or down) one code number and send a Power OFF signal.
Programming WR7 using the Learning Method STEP 1: Line up the WR7 to the remote control you want to “learn” from, head--to--head as shown below. Start with both remotes’ IR windows touch- ing (or nearly touching). STEP 2: On the WR7, press the Component button that you want to program (in this case the button that says TV) and the ENTER [ENT] button at the same time.
Page 17
STEP 4: Press and hold the [MUTE] button on the other remote until the component but- ton LED on the WR7 blinks twice. Now you can continue learning all other buttons from your old remote by pressing the next button on the WR7 and repeating this step.

Here are some additional facts regarding the Learning process: • Learned functions override any existing pre- programmed functions on the remote control • Learned functions are automatically erased when a new function is learned on the same button • Learned functions are retained even after a different set-up code number is programmed into the remote control •...
AUX Function: Programming a 7th Component After you’ve finished programming the WR7 for six primary components and you did not use AUX, you can take advantage of the AUX function to program a 7th component, such as a second TV, DVD, or any other audio/video component that you may have in your system.

STEP 2: Press the [INFO] button and count the number of times the Component LED light blinks. This number indicates the first digit of the code. Next it will pause for about one sec- ond and begin blinking again to indicate the number of the second digit.
Programming Special Advanced Features Programming Multi-Commands to Macro Buttons The WR7 has 13 Macro buttons (ON, SYS- TEM OFF, 7 Component buttons, and 4 “My Favorites” buttons) that are designed to store up to 20 commands in each button. Pressing any one of the Macro buttons will send out the series of commands that are stored in that particular button.
IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to per- form the next step while you are in programming mode. If you do not press a button within 30 sec- onds, the component LED light will turn off. The remote will exit the programming mode and you will have to start over.

Programming “My Favorites” - Favorite Channel Buttons In Cable mode, the four [MY FAVORITES] buttons are also designed to serve as dedi- cated Favorite Channel buttons. Each button will access one of your favorite channels with just one button press. Here’s how to program Favorite Channels: STEP 1: Press the [CABLE/SAT] button to select the Cable/SAT mode.
Page 24
STEP 3: Using the Number Pad, punch in the Channel number of the Favorite Channel that you want to store in the Macro button. The CABLE/SAT component LED light will blink once for each button pressed. STEP 4: Press the CHANNEL UP [CH button to store the commands entered.
SimpleSound Total System ™ Volume Control SimpleSound is one of the most exciting fea- tures of the WR7. It gives you total volume control over ALL the components in your sys- tem, even those that do not have built--in vol- ume control, such as TIVO, DVD and VCR.
Page 26
STEP 2: Press the VOLUME UP [VOL ] but- ton and then press either the TV or AUDIO com- ponent button that you want to use for volume. The Component LED light will blink three times to confirm that it is saved. This sets up three but- tons (Volume Up, Volume Down and MUTE) as a group for that component.
Channel Control “Punch Through” This “punch through” enables you to program the WR7 so that either the Cable or TV Channel Controls (CHANNEL UP, DOWN, LAST, CHANNEL NUMBERS 0-9, +10 and ENTER) will also operate in other component modes on the remote control. STEP 1: Press and hold the component but- ton you want to add channel control to, such as [DVD] or [VCR], and the SELECT [SEL] button at...
Transport Control “Punch Through” This “punch through” enables you to program the WR7 so that VCR or DVD Transport Controls (PLAY, STOP, FF, REW, PAUSE, SKIP and RECORD) will also operate in other component modes on the remote control. STEP 1: Press and hold the component but- ton you want to add Transport Control to, such as [CABLE/SAT] or [TV], and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time for two seconds until...
OSD (On-Screen Display) Control “Punch Through” This “punch through” enables you to program the WR7 so that CBL or DVD OSD Controls (MENU, GUIDE, INFO, EXIT, SEL and 4 Cursor Controls) will also operate in other component modes on the remote control. STEP 1: Press and hold the component but- ton you want to add OSD Control to, such as [TV] or [VCR], and the SELECT [SEL] button at...
Erasing Commands - Overview You can erase a single learned command, all learned commands in each component mode, SimpleSound programming, MacroPower com- mands, or re--set the remote to original factory default settings. Erasing a Single Learned Command from One Component STEP 1: Press the component button where the learned command is stored and the [ENTER] button at the same time for two seconds until the...
Erasing All Learned Commands from One Component This function allows you to erase all the learned commands from one component. For example, if you want to erase all learned commands on the TV component button because you bought a new TV, the process is very simple.
Erasing MacroPower & Other Macro Commands STEP 1: To erase MacroPower commands on the POWER [ON] or [SYSTEM OFF] but- ton, press and hold either the POWER [ON] or [SYSTEM OFF] button and the [MUTE] button simultaneously for two seconds until the current status component LED turns on.
Erasing SimpleSound & Other “Punch Through” Commands STEP 1: Press and hold the Component button you want to erase volume control from, such as DVD or VCR and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time for two sec- onds until the Component LED light turns on. STEP 2: Press the VOLUME UP [VOL button and the same component button from Step 1.
Factory Reset You can reset your WR7 remote to the origi- nal factory default settings. Press and hold both the [TV] and RECORD [REC] buttons for about five seconds until the [CABLE/SAT] component LED light blinks five times. All programming and set-up codes that you have entered into the remote will be erased and the WR7 will return to the original factory default settings.
Pre-Programmed Code Tables The WR7 Pre-Programmed code library is classi- fied by category (Audio, CD, VCR/DVR, etc.). Within each category, the code numbers are list- ed in rows by brand (Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more than one three- digit code.
