Customizing the Remote
NOTE
On the following pages, a single 'blink' of the
remote's power LED is indicated by the symbol * .
Code learning
The supplied remote comes with a complete library of pre-
programd codes. After you have set up the remote for your
device, you may find that there are one or more functions
on your original remote which do not have a place on
the keypad. For convenience, the remote offers a Code
Learning feature that allows you to copy up to 16 functions
from an original remote control onto the remote keypad.
Before you start, make sure that:
< The original remote control is working correctly.
The remotes are not pointing at your device.
<
The remotes have fresh batteries.
<
The remotes are not in direct sunlight or under strong
<
fluorescent lights.
NOTE: Learned functions are mode-dependent. You
could assign up to eight different functions to a single
key – a separate learned function for each mode.
Direct code setup (Method 1)
The first method is to program the remote with the 3-digit
code number for the device you wish to control – see
"device code tables". Make a note of the suggested number
or numbers – the most popular code is listed first. Now
power on the device.
1. Press the Device key for the product you want to set
up, together with the key. Hold down both buttons for
three seconds until the LED stays lit.
You are now in setup mode, and you can release the
buttons.
2. Enter a 3-digit code for the device.
If the 3-digit code number you entered is correct for the
device, it will turn off. If it doesn't turn off, enter the next
code number from your list until the device does turn off.
3. Once you have found the correct code, press the Device
key again. The LED blinks three times *** to
confirm that the code has been successfully stored.
Library search setup (Method 2)
Library search allows you to scan through all the codes
contained in the remote's memory. It can take a lot longer
than the previous method, so only use this method if:
< Your device does not respond to the remote after you
have tried all the codes listed for your brand.
Your brand is not listed at all in the Device Code tables.
<
1. Press the Device key for the product you want to set
up, together with the key. Hold down both buttons for
three seconds until the LED stays lit.
2. Point the remote control at the product you wish
to control and press the ' or , button on the
navigation pad. Each time the ' or , button
is pressed, the code counts up (or down) one code
number with a signal to power off the device.
3. Continue pressing the up or down button, in
approximately one second intervals, until the device
turns off. (DO NOT alternate the up and down button –
you need to move in only one direction.)
4. To store the correct code, press the Device key again.
The LED blinks three times *** to confirm that
the code has been successfully stored.
Learning setup (Method 3)
The third method involves 'teaching' the JBL Synthesis
remote from the original remote for the device. The two
remotes should be facing each other, about 4 inches
(10cm) apart.
1. Press the Device key for the product you want to set up,
together with the key. Hold down both buttons for
three seconds until the LED stays lit.
2. Press the button on the JBL Synthesis remote that
you want to assign a command to. The LED blinks
once * indicating that the remote is ready to learn
the command.
3. Press and hold the appropriate key on the other remote
until the LED blinks twice ** . This indicates the JBL
Synthesis remote has learned the command from your
other remote.
4. Continue learning the commands from your other
remote by pressing the next button on the remote and
repeating steps 2 and 3.
5. Once the remote has learned all the selected
commands, press and hold the Device key you used to
enter learning together with the Numeric key to store
the learned commands.
EN-22
NOTE: If the JBL Synthesis remote LED blinks five
*****
times there was an error in the learning
process. In this case, please start the Learning Setup
from the start.
The and keys do not learn commands.
Important notes
< Once you start a Code Learning session, you have
approximately ten seconds to conduct each step. Any
longer, and a timeout means that you'll have to start the
process again.
The Learning feature is mode-specific – you can copy
<
one feature per mode onto a key.
The remote can learn approximately 16 functions in total.
<
< To replace a learned function, simply assign a new
function to the same key.
Learned functions are retained when you change
<
batteries.
If Code Learning fails, try altering the distance between
<
the two remotes; make sure that the ambient light is not
too bright.
Deleting the learned data
To delete all the learned data for a device:
1. Press the Device key for the product you want to set up,
together with the key. Hold down both buttons for
three seconds until the LED stays lit.
2. Press and hold down the Device key for the product
that you want to erase, together with the key for three
seconds until the LED blinks twice ** .
3. If no further key presses are made for 30 seconds after
the LED blinks twice ** , the remote leaves erase
mode without deleting the learned data.
4. If you press the Device key together with the key one
more time within 30 seconds after LED blinks twice
** , you can finish the erase mode deleting all the
data learned on the Device. The LED blinks three times
*** to confirm.
