The remote controller has two learning functions. One is a normal
learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the
codes from other remote controllers. The other is a macro learning
function that enables you to program of series of operations into
the remote controller so that they can all be performed at once by
pressing one button.
Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote controller to
the RC-390M remote controller, you must first decide under which
MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general,
you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the
component you are programming. For example, if you are
programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact
disc player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then, by
pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-390M
remote controller will change to the commands you program here
to operate the compact disc player.
After programming which MODE button to use, you will then
transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller
over to the RC-390M remote controller one at a time. Each
command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-
390M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step
except for the eight MODE buttons (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD,
SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT
and MODE), and the LIGHT button.
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old
remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands
are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to
memorize them once again.
1. Place the remote controller and the remote
controller for the other device facing each
other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches)
apart.
2. While pressing and holding down the desired
MODE button on the remote controller, press
the ENT button and then release both buttons.
When you press and hold down the MODE button, the SEND/
LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENT button, the
lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights
again and “LEARN” appears in the display.
3. Press and release the button on the remote
controller to which you want to transfer the
next command.
You may select any button but the eleven ones indicated in the
figure below. When you press the button, “RCV” appears in
the display and the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When
you release the button, the indicator lights again.
If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same
button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice,
“CLEAR” appears in the display, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode.
