Learning a pre-programming code
By learning a pre-programming code, you can make the RC-440M
remote controller able to operate a product from another brand. The
buttons that are used for operation are given on the next page.
1. Find the 3-digit number for the brand name of the
component that you want to operate in the table on
the next page.
2. Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e.
DVD, satellite tuner, or television).
3. While holding down the MODE button on the RC-
440M that you want to program, press the DISPLAY
button, and then release both buttons.
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is
pressed and turns off when the DISPLAY button is pressed. Wait
until the indicator turns off before releasing both buttons. Then
the SEND/LEARN indicator lights again.
4. Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. If the SEND/
LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times, then either a
mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation was
performed. If this occurs, return to step 3.
5. Press the button that you programmed and check if
the system operates correctly.
If the component turns off, the code is correct. If the component
does not turn off, return to step 3.
6. If it still does not operate properly, then program the
commands one by one to the buttons on the RC-
440M remote controller.
When entering the code of Onkyo DVD players:
There are three SETTING numbers. Choose the SETTING number
according to how you will be using the DVD player.
No. 601/613:
These codes are for operating the Onkyo DVD player
by pointing the remote controller directly at it, either because it does
not have an
z
terminal, or it does but you are not using an
z
cable
and connecting it. First enter 601 and if it does not operate properly,
enter 613.
No. 600:
This code is for Onkyo DVD players that have an
z
terminal that you are connecting to the TX-DS696 with an
z
cable.
You will then operate the DVD player by pointing the remote
controller at the remote control sensor on the TX-DS696. You do not
need to enter this code because it is factory preset. However, if the
code has been changed to 601 or 613, then you will need to change it
back to 600.
The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering
the signal number for a remote controller of another brand that is pre-
programmed. Another is a normal learning function that enables the
remote controller to learn the codes from other remote controllers.
And the last is a macro learning function that enables you to program
a series of operations into the remote controller so that the operations
can all be performed at once by pressing one button.
Caution
With some brand’s components, some buttons may not work
correctly. In this case, program the command separately.
