Programming the commands of remote controllers
for other devices into the remote controller
5 to 15 cm
(2 to 6 inches)
Buttons that cannot be programmed.
Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote
controller to the RC-418M remote controller, you must
first decide under which MODE button you want the
commands to be linked. In general, you will select the
MODE button that corresponds to the component you
are programming. For example, if you are
programming the functions from a remote controller for
a compact disc player, you would choose the CD
MODE button. Then, by pressing the CD MODE button,
the buttons on the RC-418M remote controller will
change to the commands you program here to
operate the compact disc player.
After programming which MODE button to use, you will
then transfer the separate commands from the other
remote controller over to the RC-418M remote control-
ler one at a time. Each command is then programmed
to a different button on the RC-418M remote controller.
Any button is programmable for this step except for the
eight MODE buttons (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE,
VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT and
MODE), and the LIGHT button.
Even after the commands have been memorized,
keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If for
some reason the commands are lost (e.g., when the
batteries run down), it will be necessary to memorize
them once again.
1. Place the remote controller and the remote
controller for the other device facing each
other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6
inches) apart.
2. While pressing and holding down the desired
MODE button on the remote controller, press
the ENT button and then release both buttons.
When you press and hold down the MODE button,
the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the
ENT button, the lamp turns off. When you release the
buttons, the lamp lights again and “LEARN” ap-
pears in the display.
3. Press and release the button on the remote
controller to which you want to transfer the
next command.
You may select any button but the eleven ones indi-
cated in the figure below. When you press the but-
ton, “RCV” appears in the display and the SEND/
LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the but-
ton, the indicator lights again.
If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that
same button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator
flashes twice, “CLEAR” appears in the display, and
the remote controller exits the programming mode.
The remote controller has two learning functions. One is
a normal learning function that enables the remote
controller to learn the codes from other remote
controllers. The other is a macro learning function that
enables you to program of series of operations into the
remote controller so that they can all be performed at
once by pressing one button.
