Learning Tips
F Frre essh h B Baatttte erriie ess iin n tth he e O Orriiggiin naall R Re em mo otte e C Co on nttrro oll -- Weak batteries will cause MXEditor to fail to
correctly learn. Note that EVEN if the original remote still operates the component, the batteries can be
too weak to produce a strong enough carrier for any learning remote control to detect!!!! When a code fails,
replace the batteries FIRST!
T Taap p iin nsstte eaad d o off P Prre essssiin ngg aan nd d H Ho olld diin ngg -- With some codes, this will produce better results. Normally, you should
press and hold.
T Th he e ““F Fllu utttte err”” T Te ecch hn niiq qu ue e -- If you are having problems with a Code that has to be sustained (like volume up
or down), sometimes fluttering the button while in learn mode will reduce errors.
T Th he e ““S Se em maap ph ho orre e”” T Te ecch hn niiq qu ue e -- Use a book or another opaque object in between the two remotes. Press the
button on the original remote, then remove the obstruction for a moment, then put it back. Experiment with
different timings.

see the READY indicator, press and hold the corresponding button on the original remote control while
pointing it at the TOP of the MX-700/800. When the code is successfully learned, the window will say
GOOD, confirming that the code learned “
correctly. ” Actually, the GOOD means that the code might be
good.... Press the test icon and point the connected MX-700/800 at the component to test if it really is
good! Reteach as necessary.

Start with the remote controls an inch apart. Vary the learning distance from
one inch to as much as four feet if the code doesn’t test correctly. Make sure
the remotes are pointed head to head!
