  • Page 4: Getting Started

    T h e A u t o m a t o r Getting Started Congratulations! You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup control systems available. The Automator’s built-in library includes thousands of different brands and models of remote controls.

  • Page 6 Selecting a New DEVICE Changes All Button Commands Instantly The Automator can operate ten different devices even though it is only one remote control. Let’s try it now! Press the MAIN button, then press the TV DEVICE button. MAIN Button The top of the screen changes from MAIN to TV.

  • Page 7: Basic Setup

    Basic Setup You can start setting up your Automator using either the Pre-Programmed Method or the Learning Method. However, all the buttons of the Automator 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 A u t o m a t o r Press the P-PRO button to select the Pre-Programmed Method. The display changes so that you can select which Device button to setup. Press a Page button to display the other five Device names.
  • Page 9 In this step you verify the type of component you plan to operate with this device button. If the flashing name is correct, press SELECT. If the name flashing in the display is incorrect (for example, you are setting up AUX to operate a Laser Disc Player), use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the flashing name to the correct type of component.
  • Page 10 T h e A u t o m a t o r 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 UP (or DOWN) and POWER OFF buttons.
  • Page 11 When the display shows “MAIN”, you are back in normal operating mode. Now it’s time to test all the buttons. If some buttons don’t work, try repeating steps 1-9, to see if you can improve the match to your component. For Example: My Sony TV powered off with TV code number 139.

  • Page 12: Learning Method

    T h e A u t o m a t o r Learning Method The Automator can learn commands from your old remote controls one-button-at-a-time by following these simple steps: Line-up the Automator with your old remote con- trol, head-to-head, one or two inches apart. Press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time for approximately three seconds.
  • Page 13 The display will show a list of the first five devices. Select the device you would like to teach commands to by pressing the Device button. Press any button you want to teach a command to. Note: If you don’t see the display button you would like to teach, use the PAGE buttons.
  • Page 14 Vary the distance between the remote controls gradually. Try 1/4”, 1”, 2”and so on, up to 4 feet. Tap the button on the original remote control instead of pressing and holding it during the learning process.

  • Page 15: 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 Automator to raise and lower the volume.
  • Page 16 T h e A u t o m a t o r The bottom of the display flashes ”PUNCH TO”. Press the device button for the device that doesn’t have volume control commands yet (i.e.,DVD). This is the device you are going to PUNCH TO for the volume and mute commands.

  • Page 17: Advanced Operation

    U R C - 2 0 0 Advanced Operation Setting Backlight Options You can adjust the amount of time that the Automator backlight stays on by entering the SETUP mode and proceeding to page two (using the PAGE UP button), then pressing the LIGHT button on the display (not the Backlight button).
  • Page 18 T h e A u t o m a t o r Adjusting Contrast You can make the text darker by pressing both the MAIN and cursor UP buttons at the same time. To make the text appear lighter, press both the MAIN and cursor DOWN buttons at the same time.

  • Page 19: Advanced Setup

  • Page 22: Macro Button Setup

    T h e A u t o m a t o r Macro Button Setup Imagine turning on your TV, your DVD player and your surround sound receiver by pressing a single button on your Automator! What would normally take three remotes and three button pushes, the Automator can accomplish with the press of one button.
  • Page 23 Press the button you want to set as a Macro button. The top of the screen will display the label of the button you selected. At the bottom of the screen it displays “STEP0”, indicating that no macro steps have been entered yet. Navigate to the Device and Page that has a button you want in your macro using the MAIN, DEVICE and PAGE buttons.

  • Page 24: Favorite Channel Setup

    T h e A u t o m a t o r Favorite Channel Setup Imagine surfing all your favorite channels, without ever typing in a channel number. By simply setting up each of the favorite channel buttons, you can make TV, cable or satellite operation fun and easy.
  • Page 25 Press each of the number buttons for the channel. Note: If a number is repeated when setting the channel (for example, channel “33” or “522”) it is usually best to set a half second delay in between the identical numbers by pressing the PAUSE button.

    T h e A u t o m a t o r Hiding and Adding Pages Each of your Automator Devices actually contains eight pages. However, only five pages are visible in the factory default setting. Three pages are hidden in each device.
  • Page 27 “PAGE” appears at the top of the screen. Now, you can navigate to any page, using the MAIN, DEVICE, FAV, and PAGE buttons. Button PAGE Buttons When you select a page, the top of the screen indicates whether you want to “ADD?” or “HIDE?” the page displayed.

  • Page 28: Erasing Settings

    T h e A u t o m a t o r 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.
  • Page 29 If you press ALL, the Automator displays a SURE? button. After the SURE button is pressed, all the buttons will be erased. If you press DEVICE, a list of Devices will appear. Press the device button that you wish to erase. The bottom of the screen will flash ERASE twice, then ERASED.

  • Page 30: Cloning One Automator To Another

    T h e A u t o m a t o r Cloning One Automator to Another If you own two or more Automators, you can copy and transfer all the setup from one Automator to another. Just follow these easy steps: Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds.

  • Page 31: Recalling Pre-Programmed Settings

    Recalling Pre-Programmed Settings If you didn’t write down the code numbers you setup your Automator with, you can recall them via this simple process: Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically.

  • Page 32: The Optional Expander

    "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the Automator unless the component can be switched to standard infrared control via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the Automator.
  • Page 33 The Automator 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. Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the Expander kit) affix to the front panels of your components.
