Other Information
Across the screen are red dashes. Press any button on the remote control you are using. Red pulses should appear, telling you the TV is
recognizing the remote and is able to send out that information. If red pulses don’t appear, contact your RCA distributor.
TEACH:
This begins the process of teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO to the TV to which it is connected.
Note:
Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.
After successful teaching, the TV will turn off and reboot.
If the memory-image stored in the clone-box is not valid for the TV, an on-screen message will advise of the conflicting memory-sizes.
IR mode
The ClonePRO enters the IR mode when any button on the bottom row of the keypad is pressed (without connection to a TV DSCI port).
A standard 9V battery (accessed via a small rear panel) is required to enable this mode.
Notes:
Like any IR (infrared) remote control, the ClonePRO requires a reasonable line of sight between it and the TV
for proper signaling. Obstructions, long distances, sharp angles and certain specialty lighting can reduce the effective
range.
If the “IR ready” light stays on longer than 1 minute by itself, temporarily remove the battery to reset it.
Remove the battery prior to long-term storage.
IR (red) Buttons
Note:
You must press the ON button for the IR buttons to operate.
&
Master-
The Master- button disables access to the TV’s master menus via the master remote. (Some third-party devices,
attached to the TV’s DSCI port as part of a larger system, may disable access to master menus even after they are disconnected.) To enable
the master menus, press .
OFF
Turns the TV off, and turns the ClonePRO off.
ON
Turns the TV on, and turns on the ClonePRO IR mode, ready for subsequent buttons. Note that the unit will automatically turn
itself off 30 seconds after the last button has been pressed to extend battery-life.
TEACH
Begins teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO to the TV, effectively “Cloning” the initially configured TV. May be made
more reliable for older models by first filling the memory of the example TV with channel-labels on unused channels.
After an
IR TEACH, older-model TVs do not need to reboot.
Note:
Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.
•
A TV must be turned on before being taught in IR mode.
•
After successful teaching, the TV turns off and turns on with the new settings.
•
If the TV displays the message
Cloning Timeout
or
Cloning Aborted
, press TEACH again to retry, experimenting with the ClonePRO
at different distances and angles from the TV.
•
If no valid settings have been stored via a DSCI LEARN, the IR ready light will come on but nothing will appear on the TV screen.
Note:
The ClonePRO cannot be used to cross clone (to copy the memory of older models into newer models, or vice
versa), because the two have completely different memory-maps, memory-sizes, features and settings.
[Config]
: Pressing and holding this button in IR mode toggles the “decommercialization” and aftermarket resale of older-model televisions.
Note that this is not reversible after turning-off older-model TVs.
