Learning TV and Satellite commands
In addition to controlling Cyrus components, the remote
control can learn the commands from two other remote
control handsets. These will normally be a TV and a
Satellite or terrestrial TV set-top box, programmed to
the TV and SAT buttons, but could also be other audio
components including a Cyrus tuner or DVD player etc.
All keys may be programmed with the exception of the
groups marked CONTROL and SOURCE and the SETUP key.
Preparation for learning
Check the following points before attempting to learn any
commands -
• Check that both remote controls have fresh batteries.
• Choose a location on a tabletop that is not brightly lit.
Subdued light is better, away from bright natural or
indoor lighting.
• Check that you have enough time to spare to complete
the learning process for all the keys you want to use.
Learning commands
In this example, the Cyrus remote control will be learning
commands from a ‘reference’ Satellite receiver remote
control.
1. Set the two remote controls up facing each other,
spaced by about 5cm.
