Controlling Other Components
—Continued
The AV receiver’s remote controller can receive and
learn commands from other remote controllers. By
transmitting, for example, the Play command from your
CD player’s remote controller, the remote controller can
learn it and then transmit the exact same command when
its Play [
] button is pressed in CD mode.
You can also use this function to learn individual com-
mands after entering a remote controller code (page 78).
Notes:
• The following buttons cannot learn new commands:
REMOTE MODE, MACRO [1], [2], [3], TV [
],
TV CH [+]/[–], TV [INPUT], TV VOL [
]/[
].
• The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn approx-
imately 70–90 commands, although, this will be
reduced by commands that use a lot of memory.
• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause,
and so on are preprogrammed with commands for
controlling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and
DVD players. However, they can learn new com-
mands, and you can restore the preprogrammed com-
mands by resetting the remote controller (page 79).
• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat
this procedure.
• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can
be learned.
• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all
learned commands will be lost and will have to be
learned all over again, so don’t discard your other
remote controllers.

Point the remote controllers at

and hold the button whose com-
mand you want to learn until the
Remote indicator flashes.
If the command is learned successfully,
the Remote indicator flashes twice.
