indicator lamp to light up again (about 1 second).
Proceeding this way will enable you to see whether
the set responds or not.

7. Immediately upon the switching-off of the set to be

controlled, press

to store the code.

Check of the programming:

In principle, your set is ready for receiving the remote
control commands.
Check your remote control for proper functioning by
performing the test described on page

Try out other remote control keys to fi nd out the range
of functions you can control. If you think that not all
of the keys are active, repeat the procedure of this
programming method to fi nd out the code supporting a
wider range of features.

Method D – Automatic

code search

With this method, the remote control scrolls through
the full code list by sending an IR signal to the set to be
controlled remotely. Proceed as follows:

1. Check that your equipment is on. If not, switch it on

manually.

2. Hold down the

SETUP

key until the red indicator

lamp blinks and then remains lit (the indicator light
remains on for a few seconds to give you the time
to proceed with the following steps. The indicator
lamp fl ashes to signal that this time is almost up,

3. Release the

SETUP

key.

4. Press the key corresponding to the type of

equipment (for example

5. Press the

Prog

+ or standby

(

DVD/

VCR

only) key. After a few seconds, the remote

control begins to scroll through the whole code
list included in the library (at a rate of roughly
1 code per second). Press the

Prog

+ key once

again to slow down the test speed (1 code every
3 seconds). As soon as the set changes channels,
you must press

to save the code and stop the

remote control scrolling through the list. If you do
not react quickly enough, you can go back to the
previous code by pressing

Prog

- or

(

go forward by pressing

Prog

+ or

(

DVD/

VCR

only) if you have gone back too far). As soon

as the set responds again, press

to save the

code.

Method E – Programming for control of a

COMBO (combined TV-VCR, TV/DVD, VCR/

DVD, … set)

Depending on the COMBO group (TV/VCR, VCR/
DVD, etc.) and the make, you will be required to enter
a single code for both devices in the COMBO, or to
enter two codes, one code per device. Consult the
separate list to discover this.
Before you start programming, you must fi nd the
subcode or code of the subset to be controlled
(television or video recorder, ...). Refer to the list
supplied with this user manual (see page subcodes
or codes).

1. Switch on the COMBO you want to control.
2. Hold the

SETUP

key down until the red indicator

lamp blinks and then remains lit.

3. Press the key of the fi rst device to control, and then

follow one of the programming methods A, B, C or
D previously described.

4. If a second code programming is required, then

repeat steps 2 and 3 above.

How to retrieve

a programmed code

It may be useful to retrieve the code programmed in
the remote control.

1. Hold down the

SETUP

key until the red indicator

lamp blinks and then remains lit.

2. Press the key that corresponds to the type of

equipment you want to fi nd the code:

: television set,

DVD

: DVD player, VCR: Video

recorder,

SAT/CABLE

: satellite receiver, cable,

DVBT, ADSL,

AUDIO/AUX

: audio equipment

and any other appliance.

3. Press the

SETUP

key briefl y, so that the red

indicator lamp blinks once.

4. Press the numbered keys in ascending order (0 to

9) until the red indicator lamp blinks once.

5. The number that caused the red indicator lamp to

blink is the fi rst of the four numbers that make up
your code. Make a note of it below.

6. Repeat step 4 to fi nd out the other numbers of the

code.

7. When the fourth number has been found, the red

indicator lamp goes out.

Check of

the programming

- For a television or a satellite receiver: switch on

and, for example, press 2 to change channels,
etc...

- Video recorder: load a tape and then press

- DVD player: load a DVD and then press

Try other remote control keys to fi nd out the range of
functions you can control. If you think that not all of the
keys are active, try the programming

Method B

When you have retrieved the code of
your set, jot it down so that you can use it
whenever needed.
After battery replacement, you may have to
programme the remote control again.

Learning function

If the make of the device you wish to control is not in
the separate code list or if some functions are missing
in the code you have programmed, you can copy
the key functions of the original remote control of
the device into your

ROC5209

. Depending on the

format of the transmission codes of the original remote
control, your

ROC5209

remote control can memorise

up to 150 keys.

Global delete – Delete all the keys copied
(this is recommended the fi rst time you use
this function)

1. Hold down the

SETUP

key until the red indicator

lamp remains lit.

2. Release the

SETUP

key.

3. Press twice on the

LEARN

key. The red indicator

lamp goes out and then relights.

4. Press once on the

SETUP

key. The red indicator

lamp goes out after several seconds.

5. All the copied keys are now deleted.

Before starting

• The batteries in the 2 remote controls must be in

good condition; change them if necessary.

• First copy 2 or 3 keys from the original remote

control in order to check the compatibility of the
codes of both remote controls. Then carry out a
global delete of these keys before starting the full
learning procedure.

• Lay out the original remote control and your

ROC5209

end to end so as to align the LED

diodes on the 2 remote controls. Where necessary
adjust the height of both remote controls so that the
LED diodes are properly aligned.

• Place the remote controls with the infrared diodes

on a table so that they point each other at a
distance between 15 and 50 mm.

• Do not move the remote controls during the

learning procedure.

• Ensure that the room is not lit by fl uorescents tubes

or low consumption lamps since such light sources
can interfere with the copying.

• The 2 remote controls must be at least one metre

away from any light source.

• Avoid

copying

VOL

and keys codes and the play

keys since depending on the remote controls the
codes of these keys do not necessarily control the
same devices.

• When the memory of your

ROC5209

is full,

the mode key will blink for 3 seconds. It is then
not possible to copy any more codes without fi rst
carrying out a global delete.

• When you copy a key, it is possible that the mode

key will blink feebly. In this case, do not release the
key and wait until the blinking stops.

Note 1: if the learning procedure does not seem to

work correctly, try the following:

1. End the learning procedure by pressing

SETUP

2. Check that the LEDs of the two remote controls

are properly aligned. Carry out the alignment
procedure.

3. Modify the distance between the remote controls,

increasing or reducing the distance from 1.5 cm to
5 cm.

4. Restart the procedure from the beginning.
5. If the problem persists and always with the same

key, check that the original remote control is
actually operating: is it sending IR signals? (check
batteries; is it correctly aligned in relation to the
diode on your

ROC5209

Note 2:
• You cannot copy keys to the

LEARN SETUP

and

MODE

keys.

• All the keys copied to a mode will be deleted if a 4

fi gure code is entered for this mode (and likewise
for direct entry of a code, search of a code or
make).

Identifying the position of the diode on the
original remote control (keys to copy)

If the Infrared LED of the original remote control is not
visible (for example, if hidden behind a dark plastic
plate), the instructions below will help you to locate
it precisely.

1. Place the front of the original remote control (the

part you point at the device to control) around
2.5 cm from the LED of your ROC5209 (see
LEARNING diagram above).

2. Hold down the

SETUP

key until the red indicator

lamp remains lit.

3. Release the

SETUP

key.

4. Press once on a mode key (

5. Press once on the

LEARN

key.

6. Hold down one of the keys on the original remote

control while moving the remote control from left
to right. As soon as the 2 remote controls are
correctly aligned, the red indicator lamp blinks
rapidly.

7. To copy the key functions from your original

remote control into your

ROC5209

, go to step 5

of “To copy keys”.

Note: Some original remote controls don’t transmit
continuous IR signals when a key is held down. If this is
the case, press several times on one of the keys while
moving the remote control from left to right.
