LEARNING CODES FROM A REMOTE
Learning Codes from a Remote
Learning Codes from a Remote
The HS 500 remote is able to “learn” codes from
other remote controls that might be part of your
system setup, like the one from your TV. To learn
or transfer codes from an IR remote to the AVR’s
remote, follow these steps:
1. Place the front of the original remote with the
code being sent so that it is facing the
IR
Transmitter Window
on the HS remote
“head-to-head.”The remotes should be between
2 and 4cm apart.
2. Select the button on the remote that you wish
to use as the device selector for the codes about
to be entered. This must be any of the
Input
Selectors
0
.
3. Press the
Input Selector
0
button chosen
and the
Learn
Button
at the same time.
Hold these buttons until the
Program
Indicator
flashes amber and the light
under the device selector button turns red.
Release the buttons. It is important that you
begin the next step within 20 seconds.
4. Press the button on the HS remote that you
wish to program. Note that the
Program
Indicator
will stop flashing.
Important Note:
Codes cannot be taught to
all buttons on the remote. In these cases the
Program Indicator
keeps flashing after
the button was released.
5. As long as the
Program Indicator
is on
steadily (for five seconds), press and hold the
button on the original remote that you wish to
“teach” into the HS remote. If you pressed the
button too late or no command was received
within five seconds, the
Program Indicator
will flash red three times and then amber,
then simply repeat step four. When the
Program Indicator
turns green, release
the button on the original remote. Note that the
Program Indicator will then begin to flash amber
again.
NOTE
: If the
Program Indicator
turns red
steadily during Step 5, the programming was not
successful. Repeat the steps to see if the code
will “take.”If the indicator keeps flashing red in
step 5, this code cannot be taught.
6. Repeat steps 4 though 5 for each button on
the source remote that you wish to transfer to
the HS remote.
7. Once all codes have been transferred from the
original source remote to the HS remote, press
the
Learn
button
. This will turn off all LEDs
and turn off the learning mode.
8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any additional
remotes you wish to “teach” into the HS
Remote.
Erasing Learned Codes
The HS’s remote allows you to remove or erase
the code learned into a single button for a single
device, to remove or erase all the codes that have
been learned for a single device, or to erase all
commands that have been learned to all devices.
To erase a single learned code from within a
single device’s settings, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold both the
Input Selector
0
within which the individual button to be erased
has been programmed and the
Learn
button
.
2. When the red LED under the
Input Selector
turns red and the
Program Indicator
flashes amber, release the buttons.
3. Press and release the
Input Selector
0
again for the device within which the individual
button to be erased has been programmed.
4. Press the
7
button
three times.
5. Press and release the individual button for
which the code is to be erased. The
Program
Indicator
will blink green two times and
then return to amber.
6. To erase other buttons within the same device,
press them as noted in Step 5.
7. When all buttons to be erased have been
pressed, press the
Learn
button
to complete
the process.
To erase all codes within a single device, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold both the
Input Selector
0
for which you wish to erase the codes and the
Learn
button
.
2. When the red LED under the
Input Selector
turns red and the
Program Indicator
flashes amber, release the buttons.
Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the HS’s remote control.
Once programmed, a macro will send out up to
19 different remote codes in a pre-determined
sequential order enabling you to automate the
process of turning on your system, changing
devices, or other common tasks. The HS’s remote
can store up to four separate macro command
sequences, that are accessed by pressing the
Macro
buttons
K
.
1. To start programming a macro, press the
Mute
button
A
and the
Macro
button
K
to be
programmed at the same time. Note that the lat-
est selected
Input Selector
will light red, and
the
Program Indicator
will flash amber.
2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command
step. Although the macro may contain up to 19
steps, each button press, including those used to
change devices, counts as a step.
The
Program Indicator
will flash green
twice to confirm each button press as you enter
commands.
NOTE:
While entering commands for Power On
of any device during a macro sequence, press the
Mute
button
A
. DO NOT press the
Power ON
button
0
.
• Remember to press the appropriate
Input
Selector
button
0
before functions are
changed to another device.
3. When all the steps have been entered, press
the
M N KL
button
9
to enter the com-
mands. The red light under the
Input Selector
0
will blink and then turn off and the
Program Indicator
will flash green twice
to confirm the macro to be programmed.
Example:
To program the
Macro 1
K
button
so that it turns on the HS 500 and your TV, follow
these steps:
• Press the
Macro 1
button
K
and
Mute
A
buttons at the same time and then release them.
• Note that the
Program Indicator
will flash
amber.
• Press the
TV Selector
0
.
• Press the
Mute
A
button to store the HS’s
power on command.
• Press the
Screen Power On button
but-
ton to store the TV Power On Command.
• Press the
M N KL
/Channel Up
button
9
to complete the process and store the macro
sequence.
After following these steps, each time you press
the
Macro 1
button
K
, the remote will send
all Power On commands.
Erasing Macro Commands
To remove the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow
these steps:
1. Press the
Mute
button
A
and the
Macro
button
K
that contains the commands you
wish to erase.
2. Note that the
Program Indicator
will
flash amber, and the red LED under the
Input
Selector
0
last used will turn on.
3. Within ten seconds, press the
Mute
button
A
.
4. The red LED under the
Selector
will go out,
and the
Program Indicator
will turn
green and flash three times before it goes out.
5. When the
Program Indicator
goes out,
the Macro has been erased.
