Chapter 3: IR Learning

When operating in Universal IR mode, IR codes must be learned by the CB-1000 and assigned
to each button. Keeping in mind that the CB-1000 is capable of assigning up to 4 unique IR
codes to each button (e.g., called actions ), one must (a) learn the IR code, typically using the
original manufacturer s IR remote control, and then (b) assign that code to a combination of
button and action numbers (e.g., button = 1, action = 1).
Because each button can have a stack of up to 4 actions, after IR learning is complete, one
can define how the stack is handled on a button by button basis. Action modes include (a) First
Only where a button press transmits the first code in the stack, (b) Step where a button press
transmits the current action then steps to the next one in the stack and (c) All Actions where a
button press transmits all actions within that button s stack sequentially.
3.1 Learn IR Codes
3.1.1 Where to Point. While it is possible to have the CB-1000 learn
IR codes by pointing the remote control through the middle of
the unit, best results are achieved when the CB-1000 face
plate is removed and the IR remote control being used is
pointed through the slot on the right side of the unit, within 3
inches of the surface.
3.1.2 Learn IR / Multiple Codes. Remote controls often transmit
consecutive IR codes in response to a single button press and
devices being controlled commonly require consecutive IR
codes to trigger an event. Accordingly, the CB-1000 learn IR
function provides options for learning the 1
After using pulldown A to select which code to
learn, click on button B to place the CB-1000 into
learn mode . When in learn mode, the CB-1000
