Troubleshooting Learning (Black MXv3 & MXv4 Remotes Only
• No functions may be stored under the
• Depending on the remote you are trying to learn from, some keys may not be teachable
• Only one original device type can be learned per individual mode
• Use fresh batteries for your original remote, and your MTS TV remote control
• Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low energy lights when learning
• Point your original remote so the infrared elements on both remotes are directly in line with each other. You may
need to adjust the height of the remotes to achieve this
• If you keep experiencing errors while learning the first or second keys for a mode, then try the following:
• End the learn session by pressing the
• Clear out the learned commands for that mode
• Check the infrared elements of the two remotes are correctly aligned
• Change the distance between the two remotes to be either closer (half an inch) or further away (2 inches) from
each other
Try learning the original remote for that mode again. If problems reoccur with the same key, check the original remote
key being learned – does it transmit? Does it operate the target device?
Try learning that key under a different clear mode. If it learns, then it is likely a different code type from the others and
cannot be learned under the same mode.

• If the TV mode key has been programmed, the volume commands are sent to the TV from all mode keys
• If you'd like the volume commands to be sent to just one device – for example, to your home theatre set up and
not to the MTS TV set-top box or TV set – follow the instructions in
