B. Learning From Other Remote Controls
You can program the MX-500™ to operate a component by teaching the
commands from your original remote control to device buttons on the
main screen menu, 20 buttons on 2 pages of the LCD per device, 31
rubber buttons and the joystick located in the middle of the remote
control. The MX-500™ learns these commands by receiving infrared
signals directly from your existing remote controls. The MX-500™
receives these signals through its learning eye, located at the top of the
unit.
Apart from the PAGE, MAIN, FAV buttons and M1 – M3 buttons
which cannot be taught, the MX-500™ has the capability of learning up
to 530 commands.
TIP:Commonly used function buttons include the two pages of sub-
commands within each of the 10 devices, channel up and down, volume
up and down, menu, guide, exit, info, 0-9 and joystick.
Points to Remember
If the remote control fails to learn a function after the first try:
¦U Keep the remotes stable by placing them on a flat surface.
¦U Make sure the original remote is pointed at the learning eye at the top
end of the case.
¦U Make sure the original remote's batteries aren't low.
¦U Try again. Sometimes the second or third attempt works.
¦U Try varying the distance between the remotes until you find an
optimal distance where the codes are learned on the first or second try.
