A successful learning process requires an adequate

trols used in the learning process have fresh batteries
installed in them before performing the following
learning process:
1. Place the McIntosh Remote Control and the first
component (TV) Remote Control on a flat surface
with the IR Emitter Window pointed towards each
other and about 2 inches (5cm) apart. Refer to
figures 8 and 10.
2. Press and hold in the SET Push-button and the
SOURCE SEL Push-button until the LEARN
Indicator flashes on the LCD Display. Refer to
figure 10.
Notes: 1. For easier operation, use the same Input
Source Push-button as the desired compo-
nent device to be controlled (eg. TV Push-
button for controlling the TV).
2. The McIntosh Remote Control is capable
of storing in memory up to approximately
160 learned commands.
