Programming the Commands
of Other Remote Control Units into the Remote Controller
This remote controller features a learning function that allows you to program the remote codes of other remote control
units for more singular control of your home entertainment system. A number of commands can be programmed for
operation for when the remote controller is in DVD mode and when it is in Receiver mode. Please follow the procedure in
this section to program your remote controller to your preferences.
The first step in the procedure is to determine whether the new command is to be learned in the DVD
mode or in the Receiver mode. Generally speaking, this should be decided by the command being
learned. After deciding which mode is to be used, you will then transfer the individual commands from the
other remote control unit to the RC-498DV remote controller one at a time. Each command is then
programmed to one of the available buttons on the RC-498DV remote controller.
Even after the commands have been programmed, keep the other remote rontrol unit in a safe place in the
case that the programmed commands should be lost (e.g., when the batteries run down). If the commands
are lost, it will then be necessary to program them again.
Place the remote controller
and the
other remote control unit of the
other component facing each other
at a distance of 5 to 15 cm apart.

--SEND/LEARN
While pressing and holding down
the desired MODE button (VCR or
TV) on the remote controller, press
SEARCH and then release both
buttons.
When you press and hold down the
desired MODE button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator lights up. When you press
SEARCH, the indicator turns off. When
you release both buttons, the indicator
lights up again.
Press and release the button on the
remote controller to which you want
to transfer the new command.
The buttons that can be selected in this
step depend on the mode (other than
MODE (DVD, RCVR, TV, VCR)).
If you press the wrong button by mistake,
press the same button again. The SEND/
LEARN indicator flashes three times and
the remote controller exits the
programming mode. When this is the case,
start again at step
