Programming Hard Buttons Globally 
And/Or Locally Per Device

The Hard buttons are defined as the five hard buttons on the right
side of the screen (Mute, Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down) and
the nine buttons below the screen (don

’

t count Home, since you

cannot program it). 

WARNING

It is 

possible

to teach commands to the LEFT and RIGHT

hard buttons. However, only via a PC can you reprogram

the buttons to scroll up and down so do not reprogram these

keys without considering carefully.

Hard buttons can be programmed with a global function for all devi-
ces and/or for a deviced specific (local) command for a particular
device. 

When a command is taught to a hard button from a device page, it
will only be issued when that device group is active, even if a com-
mand has been taught globally. Local learning overrides global lear-
ning.  

When a command is taught to a hard button from a home panel, it
will be issued as long as the active device 

does not

have a local

command. 

For example, one could program the CH+ & CH- buttons as the
C/-  command when the DVD is active. Now, if you pro-
gram the TV c/-  globally (and any device other than the
DVD is selected)  the TV c/- commands will be issued.
