Learning Side Keys, cont.
E.g., in this example we pressed the 3
key on the remote to enter the letter D.
Then we pressed the 8 key repeatedly
until the letter V was displayed. Then we
waited a second and pressed 3 to select
D. Then we pressed the 0 (zero) key
twice until we selected a space. We
continued this process until we had
“DVD Zoom” displayed.
Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in a similar fashion to text
entry on a cell phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle through
ALL caps, numbers, and lower case letters. E.g., repeatedly
pressing the number 2 key cycles through A, B, C, 2, a, b, c.
Pressing the 9 key cycles through W, X, Y, Z, 9, w, x, y, z. A
“space” can be selected with the 0 (zero) key. The number 1
key selects 1 . @ ? ! - & : and back to 1. And you can
backspace an entry with the key to the left of the 0 (zero) key.
Press OK (or the Enter “E” key) to confirm your new name.
Then we pressed OK to save the new
label for the key we had learned.
The next time you set the remote to the
mode that you learned this key under
you’ll see a screen where you can
select this, and any other functions
you’ve learned under that mode.
Pressing the
MODE
key and then selecting a device type
shows the “extra” keys and learned keys for that mode. Note,
you can learn keys from any kind of remote under any mode.
You could for example learn the power keys for your TV, and
your audio system and extra keys for your DVD player under
the DVD mode. Then when you press the MODE key and
select DVD, you’ll be able to turn on your TV, turn on your
audio system, and control your DVD player, all from the Side
Keys on this one screen.
Next point the remote you want to learn
commands from at the bottom of the
IR27A IconRemote, and press OK when
you’re ready. (See Tips on Learning on
page 24.)
Next press the key (on the other remote)
Learning Side Keys, cont.
for the function you want to learn.
Hold the key pressed until the screen says
that the command was successfully
learned. Note for some types of key you
might need to hold the key pressed, but for
other types a quick press is sufficient.
Experiment a bit. If keys you learn are
sent multiple times try learning them with
just a quick press.
You can change the label for the key (in
this case L7) and/or add the key to a
Macro. (See page 32 for Macros.)
If you select Change Label, by pressing
Side Key K9, you can change the name
to anything you want. For example
you’ll likely want to rename it with the
name of the function that you learned.
After you select Change Label you see
the screen to the right. You enter the
new name for the key using the numeric
keys on the remote, in a similar fashion
to typing in text on a cell phone. See
next page.
