Repeat steps 1-6 to program “Volume Down” ( ),
Source, Mute and Power button ( ).
Note:
If your bar fails to learn certain IR remote
codes, the power LED will blink red. Try erasing
any previously programmed codes (see below)
and carefully repeat steps 1-6 above.
Code Erasing Procedure:
If you have pro-
grammed your SurroundBar IHT to respond to
a remote control and you no longer want it to do
so, erase the codes by pressing the LEARN key
for about two seconds while the unit is in standby
mode (power LED is red). You’ll know that previ-
ously learned codes have been successfully
erased when the power LED blinks orange twice.
Note:
This procedure removes ALL of your bar’s
remote control programming. If you only need
to change the programming for some of the bar
buttons, follow the six steps in the sequence previ-
ously described to redo any previous programming.
The SurroundBar will continue to respond to the
provided credit card remote control.
