Code learning

The supplied remote comes with a
complete library of pre-programmed
codes. After you have set up the remote
for your device, you may find that there
are one or more functions on your original
remote which do not have a place on
the keypad. For convenience, the remote
offers a Code Learning feature that allows
you to copy up to 16 functions from an
original remote control onto the remote
keypad.
Before you start, make sure that:

The original remote control is working
correctly.

The remotes are not pointing at your
device.

The remotes have fresh batteries.

The remotes are not in direct sunlight
or under strong fluorescent lights.

NOTE

Learned functions are mode-dependent.
You could assign up to eight different
functions to a single key – a separate
learned function for each mode.

Direct code setup (Method 1)

The first method is to program the remote
with the 3-digit code number for the
device you wish to control – see “device
code tables”. Make a note of the suggested
number or numbers – the most popular
code is listed first. Now power on the
device.

1. Press the Device key for the product

you want to set up, together with the

key. Hold down both buttons for

three seconds until the LED stays lit.

2. You are now in setup mode, and you

can release the buttons.

3. Enter a 3-digit code for the device.
4. If the 3-digit code number you

entered is correct for the device, it will
turn off. If it doesn’t turn off, enter the
next code number from your list until
the device does turn off.

5. Once you have found the correct

code, press the Device key again.
The LED blinks three times

***

to confirm that the code has been
successfully stored.

Library search setup (Method 2)

Library search allows you to scan through
all the codes contained in the remote’s
memory. It can take a lot longer than the
previous method, so only use this method
if:

Your device does not respond to the
remote after you have tried all the
codes listed for your brand.

Your brand is not listed at all in the
Device Code tables.

1. Press the Device key for the product

you want to set up, together with the

key. Hold down both buttons for

three seconds until the LED stays lit.

2. Point the remote control at the

product you wish to control and
press the

button on the

navigation pad. Each time the

button is pressed, the code counts

up (or down) one code number with a
signal to power off the device.

3. Continue pressing the up or down

button, in approximately one second
intervals, until the device turns off.
(DO NOT alternate the up and down
button – you need to move in only
one direction.)

4. To store the correct code, press the

Device key again. The LED blinks three
times

***

to confirm that the

code has been successfully stored.

Learning setup (Method 3)

The third method involves ‘teaching’ the
Arcam remote from the original remote
for the device. The two remotes should be
facing each other, approximately 10 cm
apart.

1. Press the Device key for the product

you want to set up, together with the

key. Hold down both buttons for

three seconds until the LED stays lit.

2. Press the button on the Arcam remote

that you want to assign a command
to. The LED blinks once

indicating

that the remote is ready to learn the
command.

3. Press and hold the appropriate key on

the other remote until the LED blinks
twice

. This indicates the Arcam

remote has learned the command
from your other remote.

4. Continue learning the commands

from your other remote by pressing
the next button on the remote and
repeating steps 2 and 3.

5. Once the remote has learned all the

selected commands, press and hold
the Device key you used to enter
learning together with the Numeric

key to store the learned commands.

NOTE

If the Arcam remote LED blinks five times

*****

there was an error in the

learning process.
The

AMP

and

RADIO

keys do not learn

commands.

Important notes

Once you start a Code Learning
session, you have approximately ten
seconds to conduct each step. Any
longer, and a timeout means that
you’ll have to start the process again.

The Learning feature is mode-specific
– you can copy one feature

per mode

onto a key

The remote can learn approximately
16 functions in total.

To replace a learned function, simply
assign a new function to the same key.

Learned functions are retained when
you change batteries.

If Code Learning fails, try altering the
distance between the two remotes;
make sure that the ambient light is
not too bright.

Deleting the learned data

To delete all the learned data for a
device:

1. Press the Device key for the product

you want to set up, together with the

key. Hold down both buttons for

three seconds until the LED stays lit.

2. Press and hold down the Device key

for the product that you want to erase,
together with the

key for three

seconds until the LED blinks twice

3. If any further key press is not made for

30 seconds after the LED blinks twice

, the remote leaves erase mode

without deleting the learned data.

4. If you press the Device key one more

time within 30 seconds after LED
blinks twice

, you can finish

the erase mode deleting all the data
learned on the Device. The LED blinks
three times

***

to confirm.

To delete the learned data for a key for
a device:

1. Press the Device key for the product

you want to set up, together with the

key. Hold down both buttons for

three seconds until the LED stays lit.

2. Press and hold down the key on which

you want to delete the data for three
seconds. The LED blinks twice

If any further key press is made, the
remote escapes from erase mode
without deleting the learned data.

3. If any further key press is not made

for 30 seconds, the LED blinks twice

, the remote get out of the erase

mode automatically without deleting
the learned data.

4. If you press the Device key together

with the

key again within 30

seconds after the LED blinks twice,
all the data learned for that Device is
deleted and you leave erase mode.
The LED blinks three times

***

in confirmation.

Reading stored code

numbers

1. Press the Device key for the product

that you want to set up together with
the

key. Hold down both keys for

three seconds until the LED blinks.

2. Press the

INFO

key and count the

number of blinks (

=1,

=2,

***

=3, etc.). There is a time

gap between digits. (Note that
‘0’ is represented by ten blinks:

Locking/Unlocking a

specific device mode

When you first unpack your remote and
insert the batteries, it is able to control
certain Arcam components automatically
(e.g. Amplifiers, Tuners and Disc Players).
We achieve this by programming specific
Arcam device codes onto the relevant
device mode keys, then locking the device
modes so you don’t reprogram them
inadvertently.
If you want to override these locked
default settings – to control a third-party
amplifier, for example – you will first need
to unlock AMP mode before setting up the
remote using one of the learning methods
described on the previous page.

The factory default settings are:
