Remote Control Registration Procedure

For the new Hydra Remote Control (that has three LED back light on Myrio, TV and AUX key), we have
introduced a new and simpler Remote control registration method via RF and
A. Ensure the Hydra is turned on and the remote control antenna is installed.
B. Press and hold the "Enter" button on the Hydra front panel for approx. 5 seconds. When releasing the "Enter"
button, front panel LED blinks red and green alternatively twice then remains red. The Hydra is now in
remote registration mode.
C. On the remote control handset, press and hold the "STB" button on the remote control for approximately 4 to
5 seconds. The "STB" backlight LED will illuminate. The remote control handset is now in registration
mode.
D. Key "0", "1", "2" or "3" are used to send the registration event:
1. Press "1" to send the "Register remote control to Decoder "1" event
2. Press "2" to send the "Register remote control to Decoder "2" event
3. Press "3" to send the "Register remote control to Decoder "3" event
4. Press "0" to set IR mode only. The remote control won't send any RF signal afterward.
Pressing a key other than "0", "1", "2" or "3" will cause the STB LED to extinguish. If a button isn't pressed within
10 seconds the STB LED will extinguish and the remote control registration will be terminated.
E. The STB backlight LED on the remote control handset will blink twice to indicate that the registration
process was successful. When Hydra receives the remote registration event (i.e., event "0", "1", "2", or "3"),
the front panel LED will blink showing the successful registration event. If the Hydra does not receive any
remote registration event within 30 seconds, the process will be terminated and the front panel LED turns
from RED to GREEN.

selected mode key will light, confirming your choice.
