4. Programming the MX-500

TM

to Control Your Components

first three-digit code number you selected for your device.
There is no way of knowing which code is the one that will
have the functions that more closely match your device
than the others, so it is wise to try them all. See step #9
below. 
(Please enter the code number within 20 seconds of
beginning  programming, otherwise the remote will revert
to the SETUP menu, and then after a period of time, it will
go back to the MAIN device page.)

If there is more than one code number assigned to your
brand, try one code number at a time until you find the
right code number (the number that 

turns off

your device.)  

If the device turns off

when you enter the three-digit code,

make note of the code. It will have at least some of the
functions in it that are needed to control your device.

8.

Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power

button. The device should turn on. After you have
confirmed that the right code is entered, save the code by
pressing the SAVE button on the LCD.

9.

At this point try ALL of the buttons on the remote, and

see which ones work with your device. The majority of the
buttons should work with your device. Make note of the
code if it seems to be the right one, and try the next one.
You are trying to find the one that has the most functions to
operate your equipment. If there are any functions missing,
you will learn them from your original remote in the
“Learning Method” section on page 19.

10.

Continue to program other components by repeating

from Step 1 above.

11.

You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to

proceed.
