  • Page 4: Getting Started

    Getting Started Congratulations! You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup remote controls ever made. The Unifier’s built-in library includes thousands of different brands and models of remote controls. In most systems, all you have to do to setup the Unifier is enter which brands and models you own.

  • Page 6: The Shift Button

    Selecting a New DEVICE Changes All Button Commands Instantly The Unifier can operate eight different devices even though it is only one remote control. Let’s try it now! Press the CABLE DEVICE button. The top of the screen changes to CABLE. Now all of the buttons of the Unifier operate a Cable box.

  • Page 7: Basic Setup

    Basic Setup You can start setting up your Unifier using either the Pre-Programmed Method or the Learning Method. However, all the buttons of the Unifier are setup at once with the Pre-Programmed Method, so it is usually faster than the one-button-at-a-time Learning Method. Pre-Programmed Method Power on the A/V component you wish to setup, so that you can test codes by sending power off commands.
  • Page 8 T h e U n i f i e r Choose the name of the device you’d like to setup. Use the cursor LEFT or RIGHT buttons to change the flashing name. For Example: I wanted to setup the TV Device button first, so I pressed the cursor LEFT or RIGHT until “TV”...
  • Page 9 Note: If your component fails to turn off after you have entered all the code numbers listed for your brand, you can scan through the other brands in the table by alternately pressing the Channel Up(or Down) and Power Off buttons (there is a chance that your component was actually manufactured by another brand).

  • Page 10: Learning Method

    Learning Method The Unifier can learn commands from your old remote controls one-button-at-a-time by following these simple steps: Line-up the Unifier with your old remote control, head-to-head, one or two inches apart. Press and hold both the desired DEVICE button and the SELECT button for approximately three seconds.
  • Page 11 Press any button you want to teach a command to. Once you press a button, the top of the display will change from “LEARN” to “READY”. READY SHIFT Functions: You can teach a second additional command to a button by pressing the SHIFT button, then pressing the button you want to teach.
  • Page 12 Press and hold the same button on your old remote control once again. The Unifier’s unique DoubleTap learning technology ensures compatibility with the widest variety of remote controls ever! Once you have taught the button twice, the display will change to either “GOOD” or “FAILED”. If the “GOOD”...

  • Page 13: Volume Control Punch Through

    Volume Control Punch Through In most home entertainment systems, the sound volume is only controlled by one device. In some systems, it is the TV speakers that make the sound, so you would use the TV device on the Unifier to raise and lower the volume.
  • Page 14 The Unifier displays SET in the display. Press the SHIFT button. The Unifier displays PUNCH in the display. PUNCH Press the Volume Up button. The display confirms by displaying “VOL”. This sets up the group of three buttons (Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute) in one action! Press the Device button for the device that has the Volume control commands you want (i.e.,TV for...

  • Page 15: Advanced Setup

    Advanced Setup After you’ve finished all your basic setup, you can choose to make operation easier by customizing the Unifier just the way you want, using the Advanced Setup features described in this section. Own Two VCR’s? Set Aux to be VCR2 Any device button can be setup for ANY type of component (for example, you can make the AUX device button operate a second VCR).
  • Page 16 In this step you choose the name of the device you’d like to setup. Use the cursor LEFT or RIGHT buttons to change the flashing name. For Example: I want to setup AUX as my second VCR, so I press the cursor LEFT or RIGHT until AUX appears in the display.

  • Page 17: Editing Device Names

    Editing Device Names The Unifier can display your own custom names for each of the eight device buttons. For example, you can rename AUX to “LIGHTS” or SAT to “DISH”, etc. Press and hold both the device button you want to rename and the ENT button for about three seconds.
  • Page 18 Change the character by using any of the number keys. Each press of the same number button selects the next character of that number’s group, as shown below. A,B,C,1 J,K,L,4 S,T,U,7 Once the character you want appears, move to the next space by pressing the RIGHT cursor button.

  • Page 19: Macro Button Setup

    Macro Button Setup Imagine turning on your TV, your DVD player and your surround sound receiver by pressing a single button on your Unifier! What would normally take three remotes and three button pushes, the Unifier can accomplish with the press of one button. We call that a “Macro”.
  • Page 20 Navigate to the device that has a button you want in your macro using the DEVICE buttons. Then press the button with the command you want. Whenever a button is pressed, another Macro step is counted and displayed on the screen. Don’t worry about the number of steps.
  • Page 21 Overview of Erasing You can erase an individual button with a learned command, a macro or a favorite channel. You can erase an entire Device’s learned command or macro buttons. You can also erase ALL your learned commands on all devices or all your macros or favorite channels everywhere.
  • Page 22 Erasing All Learned Commands in One Device Press and hold both the Device button where the command is stored and the SELECT button for three seconds.

  • Page 25: The Optional Expander

    U R C - 1 0 0 The Optional Expander You can use the Unifier as you would your other remote controls. It transmits very powerful line-of-sight output using infrared light commands (invisible to the naked eye). When you point the Unifier at the components, expect the range to be between 30 and 50 feet.
  • Page 26 The Unifier sends radio signal to the Expander, which is a radio receiver. The Expander converts radio signals to standard infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front blaster to components in the same cabinet space. T h e U n i f i e r Self-adhesive “flashers”...
