Controlling Other Components
—Continued
The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the com-
mands of other remote controllers. By transmitting, for
example, the Play command from your CD player’s
remote controller, the remote controller can learn it, and
then transmit the exact same command when its Play
[
1
] button is pressed in the CD remote mode.
This is useful when you’ve entered the appropriate
remote control code (page 141) but some buttons don’t
work as expected.
Notes:
• The following buttons cannot learn new commands:
REMOTE MODE, ACTIVITIES [ALL OFF],
[MY MOVIE], [MY TV], [MY MUSIC].
• The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to
90 commands, although this will be less if commands
that use a lot of memory are learned.
• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause,
and so on are preprogrammed with commands for
controlling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and
DVD players. However, they can learn new com-
mands, and you can restore the preprogrammed com-
mands at any time by resetting the remote controller
(see page 142).
• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat
this procedure.
• Depending on the remote controller that you are using,
there may be some buttons that won’t work as
expected, or even some remotes that cannot be learned
at all.
• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can
be learned.
• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all
learned commands will be lost and will have to be
learned all over again, so don’t discard your other
remote controllers.

for the mode in which you want to delete the com-
