12. If you wish to program the codes for another
device, repeat the procedure outline above, but
select a different device in Step 3.
Changing Devices
In the factory default settings, the DPR remote is
programmed so that the commands transmitted
correspond to the device selected by pressing one
of the
Input Selectors
3
. This is logical, as you
want the remote to control the device you have select-
ed. However, in some circumstances you may have
configured your system so that the devices connected
to the DPR do not correspond to the default device
settings and the legends printed on the remote. For
example, if your system has two VCRs you may con-
nect the second VCR to the VID 2 input. There is no
problem in doing that, but in normal operation the
commands issued after selecting the VID 2 input are
for a television, not a VCR.
The DPR remote allows you to correct that situation
through the “Changing Devices” process. That enables
you to assign the codes from one type of device to
a different button. For example, in the steps below,
we will explain how to program the VID 2 buttons to
provide the commands to operate a VCR. Of course,
you may program the remote to have any of the
devices take on the code set of any other device, as
your system requires. And, with the DPR remote’s
“Rename” function, you can even change the way
the name of the device appears on the remote’s LCD
display so that you see exactly which commands are
being sent.
To program the buttons normally assigned to one
device for the commands of another, follow these
steps:
1. Press and hold the
Program Button
O
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display
2
. Release the button
when the red light under the
Set Button
F
appears.
2. The remote’s
MAIN MENU
message (Figure
16), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set
Button
F
will remain illuminated in red.
Press the
⁄
Navigation Button
D
twice so
that
CHANGE DEVICE
appears on the bottom
line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 34.
Press the
Set Button
F
to begin the process
of reassigning the commands used for a
particular device.
Figure 34
3. The next menu display is where you select the
Input Select, or device, that you wish to change.
When the display shown in Figure 35 appears,
press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Buttons
n
to
scroll through the list to find the device you wish
to use for another function. In this case we will
select “TV,” and show how to change it to take on
the codes for operating a VCR. When that device’s
name appears, press the
Set Button
F
.
Figure 35
4. Once the “old” device type has been selected,
you need to tell the remote which set of remote
codes to use as a replacement for the device just
selected. When the instructions shown in Figure
36 appear, press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Buttons
n
to scroll through the list of device categories
to find the name of the device that you wish to
use. The old device name will remain on the left
side of the LCD screen, while the replacement
device list will scroll to its right. For example,
press the
⁄
Navigation Button
n
until the
display screen reads
TV
<
-VCR
to have the
VID 2/TV Button transmit the commands used to
control a VCR. Press the
Set Button
F
when
the desired device combination appears.
Figure 36
5. Once the new device is selected, the remainder of
the process will select the codes for the specific
brand to be used, and for that reason they are
identical to the way a device is programmed using
manual entry. Continue the process as outlined in
the next few steps, remembering that if the codes
for your specific device are not found you may
select any brand and then “learn” the proper
codes into the DPR remote using the process
outlined on page 34. To begin the process, start
by selecting the brand of device, as shown in
Figure 19. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Buttons
n
until the brand name of the device you are
programming into the remote appears on the
lower line of the display and then press the
Set
Button
F
.
6. The next step is important, as it determines which
codes will operate the source device or display.
Point the DPR remote at the device being pro-
grammed and, following the instructions shown on
the remote’s
LCD Information Display
2
,
press and release the
Numeric Keys
A
one at
a time, starting with the “1” button. After you press
the
“1” Button
A
the remote’s LCD screen will
briefly go blank as the code is being transmitted,
but you will see the “transmit” icon in the upper
right corner of the display to serve as confirmation
that the remote is sending out commands.
7. After you press and release the number key,
watch the device being programmed to see
whether it turns off. As shown in the instructions
that will appear on the next menu screen (Figure
21), press the
Set Button
F
, and then skip to
Step 9. If the unit does
not
turn off, proceed to
the next step.
8. If the device being programmed into the DPR
remote does
not
turn off after you have pressed
the “1” key, continue Steps 6 and 7 by pressing
the available numeric keys shown until the device
turns off. If the device still does not turn off after
all choices have been tried, the code for this spe-
cific device is not in the DPR remote library under
that brand name. If that is the case, we suggest
that you press the
Set Button
F
to accept the
codes from another brand so that the program-
ming is completed, but remember that you will
then have to program the remote manually by fol-
lowing the Learning Commands instructions on
page 34.
9. When the device being programmed does turn off
after a numeric key has been pressed, you must
press the
Set Button
F
within five seconds to
enter the setting into the remote’s memory. After
you press the Set button, the top line of the LCD
display will read
SAVING...
and then the word
SAVED
will flash four times in the center of the
bottom line.
10. When the codes are saved the remote will return
to normal operation, and whenever you press
the
Input Selector Button
3
that was just
programmed, the display will show the original
device type code at the far left side of the display,
with the name of the new code set type in brack-
ets. For example, the display will read
TV[VCR]
in our example of replacing the TV codes with
those for a VCR.
Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used
combinations of multiple remote control commands
with the touch of a single button. Once a macro is
programmed you may send up to 20 commands
with one press of the Power On or Macro buttons.
This will greatly simplify the process of turning on
