Codes from the Code Lists include basic functionality for each component they control. Once
you have programmed in the code for your specific component, you can customize the RCU1010
touchscreen to include certain functions from your original remote(s) that were not embedded in
the preset code.
Your RCU1010 has the ability to learn and store commands from your original remote(s) under
the mode(s) of your choice. The RCU1010 can store more than 30 key commands for each original
remote. Only one original remote can be learned under any one mode (i.e., the RCU1010 can learn
the commands for one TV remote, one VCR remote, one DVD remote, etc.).
Once you have taught your RCU1010 any additional commands from the original remotes and set
your Key Label Options, use the Learned Key Reference Pages in this manual to enter your
customized options for each mode.

Learning Tips
Before transferring commands from your original remote to the RCU1010,
check out these useful tips on Learning.
1. Make sure you are using fresh batteries in both the RCU1010 and your
original remote(s).
2. It is recommended that a Master Clear be done before attempting any Learning.
This clears all Learned commands for all component modes. (See section on
Master Clear.)
3. Point the top of the original remote at the base of the RCU1010 so the IR LED
on the original remote is in line with the RCU1010 Learn sensor, located at the
bottom of the remote.
4. The distance between the two remotes should be approximately 2-3
inches apart.
5. To ensure that your units are compatible and to increase your familiarity with
the Learning process, you may wish to experiment by learning two or three
keys initially. Then, carry out a Master Clear before learning all the desired
functions from your original remote.
6. Incandescent or low-energy light can cause interference with the
IR transmissions. When using the Learning function, keep the remotes
at least three feet away from such light sources.
7. When learning a key, do not release the key on your original remote until the
Learning Success Screen is displayed on the RCU1010 touchscreen, which takes
approximately 2-3 seconds. Until this occurs, the LCD touchscreen will display
the Learning Please Wait Screen.
8. You cannot learn any commands under the LCD LEARN , LCD MACRO ,
SETUP , BACKLIGHT or any LCD component keys.
9. If there is a problem during the Learning process, the LED indicator light
flashes for two seconds and the Learning Error Screen appears on the
touchscreen. The unit still remains in Learning Mode.
10. All Learned keys are saved automatically.
11. When the memory is full, the display shows the Memory Full Screen and the
LED indicator light flashes for two seconds. It is not possible to learn any
keys without first clearing Learned commands
under a component mode.
Learning Commands
Now you’re ready to have your RCU1010 learn the commands from your existing remote(s).
All Learned keys are saved automatically. Remember, only one original remote can be stored under
any one mode. The RCU1010 can learn the commands for one TV remote, one VCR remote, one
DVD remote, etc.
