Learning TV and Satellite commands

In  addition  to  controlling  Cyrus  components,  the  remote 

control  can  learn  the  commands  from  two  other  remote 

control handsets. These will normally be a TV and a Satellite 

or  terrestrial  TV  set-top  box,  programmed  to  the  TV  and 

SAT  buttons,  but  could  also  be  other  audio  components 

including a cyrus tuner or dVd player etc.

All  keys  may  be  programmed  with  the  exception  of  the 

groups marked CONTROL and SOURCE and the SETUP key.

Preparation for learning

Check the following points before attempting to learn any 

commands -

Check that both remote controls have fresh batteries.

• 

Choose a location on a tabletop that is not brightly lit. 

• 

Subdued  light  is  better,  away  from  bright  natural  or 

indoor lighting.
Check that you have enough time to spare to complete 

• 

the learning process for all the keys you want to use.

Learning commands

In this example, the Cyrus remote control will be learning 

commands  from  a  ‘reference’  Satellite  receiver  remote 

control. 

Set the two remote controls up facing each other, spaced 

1. 

by about 5cm.
