Genesis Update - March 1999
Programming Source IR Codes
The Genesis's IR Learner has been modified. The IR Learner module's memory no
longer requires the use of a lithium battery to hold codes in memory during times where
power is removed from the Genesis. However, the steps to load commands has altered
somewhat from the older Genesis and the prompting IR leaner LEDs on the back of the
Genesis, no longer match the silk-screen below them. Any mention of LEDs in this two-
page addendum, refer only to this row of five LEDs.
Prior to programming the IR codes into the Genesis, make certain that the Geneis is on
and that the source hand-held remote controls have fresh batteries.
When you first plug the Genesis in and turn on its front panel power switch, the center
LED of the five LEDs is lit.
When you enter the Program Mode by pressing the Program button, the bottom two LEDs
are lit.
If you exit the program mode and press no other front or rear panel buttons, the second
and fourth LEDs are lit. Pressing any front panel transport button will turn all LEDs off.
To program IR commands (Steps 4 & 5 are time sensitive):
1
Turn the Genesis on by pressing a room button and then any source button.
2
Press the source button on the front of the Genesis that you wish to program.
3
Press the PGM (Program) button on the rear of the Genesis. The bottom two
LEDs will be lit.
4
Press and release the transport button you wish to program on the back of the
Genesis and the bottom LED will be the only one lit.
5
Aim the IR remote at the back of the Genesis and press the IR function you wish
to learn. Note, that first the middle LED lights up indicating the function is being
captured. Then the fourth LED, from the top, lights up indicating that the function
has been loaded. Press the IR Learner button to lock in this command.
Note, in order to learn codes you will enter and exit the Genesis's IR learner
program mode, every time you learn a new funciton.
