Programming signals from other

remote controls

If the preset code for your component is not available, or
the available preset codes do not operate correctly, you
can program signals from the remote control of another
component. This can also be used to program additional
operations (buttons not covered in the presets) after
assigning a preset code.
1 While pressing MULTI OPERATION, press HOME
MENU.
The remote LCD display shows SETUP.
Use / to select LEARNING, then press ENTER.
2
The LCD on the remote prompts you for the component
you want to control (for example DVD or TV).
3 Press the input source button for the component
you want to control, then press ENTER.
PRES KEY blinks in the LCD display.
4 Point the two remote controls towards each other,
then press the button that will be doing the learning on
this receiver's remote control.
PRES KEY lights to indicate the remote is ready to accept
a signal.
• The remote controls should be 3 cm to 5 cm apart.
5 Press the corresponding button on the other
remote control that is sending (teaching) the signal to
this receiver's remote control.
For example, if you want to learn the playback control
signal, press and hold  briefly. The LCD display will
show OK if the operation has been learned.
If for some reasons the operation hasn't been learned the
LCD will display ERROR briefly, and then display PRES
KEY again. If this happens, keep pressing the (teaching)
button as you vary the distance between the two remotes,
until the LCD display shows OK.
Note
1 The remote can store about 200 preset codes (this has been tested with codes of Pioneer format only).
2 • You can't assign TUNER or HOME MEDIA GALLERY.
• The TV CONTROL buttons (TV, TV VOL +/–, TV CH +/–, MUTE and INPUT) can only be learned after the operation selection switch is set
to TV.
3 Note that interference from TVs or other devices will sometimes result in the remote control learning the wrong signal.
4 • Some commands from other remote controls cannot be learned, but in most cases the remotes just need to be moved closer together or
farther apart.
• If the remote LCD shows FULL, it means the memory is full. See Erasing one of the remote control button settings above to erase a
programmed button you're not using to free up more memory (note that some signals may take more memory than others).
