RV-8
REMOTE PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW
The first task is to get all original remote controls together. You may
have one or more components that do not have original remote
controls. These can still be controlled by the RV-8. The prepro-
grammed method must be used for those devices. For the rest, you
can program the RV-8 to make it compatible with all components
by following the preprogrammed method instructions, by using
the original remote controls to teach the RV-8, or through both
methods. Next, it is recommended that you decide whether a
"device-based," or an "activity-based" configuration is desired.
A "device-based" configuration centers on each device with its two
LCD pages controlling one component. All of the functions that the
original remote control has programmed in it would be put onto
one device. The RV-8 remote comes with the labels and prepro-
grammed codes in a "device-based" setup.
When a preprogrammed code is chosen for a component from the
Three-Digit Preprogrammed Codes tables which start on page
C-18, that code will be applied to one device only.
An "activity-based" configuration centers on what you are doing at
the time. If you are watching a DVD on your TV, and are using the
RV-8 to control the sound, you may want to start by setting up the
DVD device using the preprogrammed method described in the
next column, and then add functions from the other devices you
will be using while watching your DVD video to the DVD device.
For example, while playing a DVD, to adjust the volume of the
RV-8, use the "Punch Through" method described on page C-12 to
put the RV-8's volume control into the DVD device. To adjust other
functions of the RV-8 while staying in the DVD device, use the
learning method described on page C-7 to add those functions to
C-4
the DVD device, such as surround sound controls, the receiver's
DVD input code, the TV's power code, etc. In that instance, every-
thing that is needed for watching a DVD on your TV without
having to switch back and forth from device to device is available.
All programming is done by first entering the SETUP mode in the
remote control. Press both the HOME and ENT (enter) buttons,
simultaneously for three seconds to access the SETUP mode shown
below. "SETUP" will be displayed at the top of the LCD screen.
Specific programming instructions begin on the next page.
