Learning New Remote Codes
Teaching the HDS4 to use new remote control keys
If your remote does not have one of the pre-programmed component codes, or you simply want to
re-map the HDS4 functions to other keys on your remote, the HDS4 can be taught to use new keys.
To teach the HDS4 to respond to new keys, you need to have the remote control(s) you want to use
ready, and setup in the manner you want it to be used.

Place the HDS4 in standby mode. This is the factory default mode
on power up, and if it has not been changed, you can unplug the
HDS4 and plug it back in and it will power up in standby mode (at
this point only the power indicator light is lit and glowing RED). If
the HDS4 does not power up in standby mode, follow the steps
given in
"Restoring the HDS4 to Factory Defaults"
on page 13.

Using a pen or pencil, press and HOLD the SETUP button on the
back panel of the HDS4 (located near the power jack) for around 4
seconds, until the HDS4 powers up, and the Power indicator on the
front panel of the HDS4 begins to blink GREEN.
The HDS4 is now ready to accept new remote control key codes. For
each of the following steps:
• You may press a key on your Remote Control, if accepted, the IR
indicator light will blink, and the key will be learned as the new key
for the given function. The HDS4 will advance to the next step.
• Or you may press and release the SETUP key on the back panel
of the HDS4, this indicates to the HDS4 to skip this key, and the
whatever key was previously programmed for that function will be
retained. The HDS4 will advance to the next key.
• Or you may press and hold the SETUP key on the back panel un-
til the HDS4 returns to standby mode. This will end learn mode,
all keys already programmed will be remembered, and all the
keys skipped will retain their previously programmed values. The
HDS4 will advance to Step 13.
