RV-8
Important Points to Remember
If the remote control fails to learn a function after a first attempt:
• Keep the remotes stable by placing them on a flat surface.
• Make sure the original remote is pointed at the learning eye at
the top end of the case and is not at an angle.
• Make sure both remotes' batteries aren't low.
• Avoid programming the RV-8 remote under bright lights,
which can interfere with the infrared signals.
• Some buttons require a single, short push of the original
remote's button; other "repeating" buttons, such as the VOL
button, require that you "press and hold" the original remote's
button until "Good" flashes twice on the LCD screen.
• Try varying the distance between the remotes to find an opti-
mal distance at which the codes are learned on the first or sec-
ond try.
Programming the Function Buttons
To program the Function Buttons:
1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the HOME and ENT
buttons simultaneously for three seconds.
2. Press the LEARN button next to the LCD screen.
3. Select the DEVICE that contains the function button you wish
to program.
4. Press the PAGE button to go to page 2 of the device if neces-
sary.
5. Place the original remote control head to head with the RV-8
remote about 2 inches apart on a flat surface.
6. Press the button on the RV-8 remote you wish to program.
Only the three HOME, PAGE and FAV buttons cannot be
C-8
programmed. It is not recommended that you re-program the
Main, Zone 2 or Zone 3 buttons.
7. Press the button on the original remote control that you wish
to program onto the RV-8 remote. Once the RV-8 remote has
received the signal, the RV-8 remote will flash "GOOD" on the
LCD screen, indicating it learned the code correctly. (Perform
Step 6 within 20 seconds of step 5; otherwise the remote will
revert to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time, it
will go back to the MAIN device page.) If it flashes "Fail,"
repeat from step 4 until it learns successfully.
8. Repeat from step 3 until you have programmed all of the
buttons that are required.
9. Once you complete the programming and wish to exit the
LEARNING mode, press the HOME button. Exit from the SETUP
mode by pressing the HOME button again.
If you are having problems learning to the Volume, Channel and
Transport buttons, it may be because you have previously assigned
a "Punch Through" from another device to that device. To remove
a Punch Through, just "punch through" the device to itself. For
example, to erase a punch through from a TV to a SAT device, just
"punch" through the TV to the TV.
See "Programming Punch Through Functions" on page C-12 for
more information.
Programming the Ten Device Buttons
This procedure will program ONE learned code onto the Device
button, so that when that Device is selected, it will send out the
learned signal as it changes to that Device's function pages.
To program the one learned code onto the Device button:
1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the HOME and ENT
buttons simultaneously for three seconds.
