When the process is complete the 2nd page of the DLP panel will not be visible on the
menu of the Remote Control.
3.2 IR code learning
Steps：
a) Enter the IR code learning interface, see Fig.3
b) Point the front of the remote controller 1-2cm away from the front of the 3rd party
remote controller.
c) Press the relevant button on the 3rd party remote controller that you wish your HDL
controller to learn. If the operation is successful the remote will display “Learn OK, Key
enter try code”, If the operation fails, the display will show “Learn interfere, try again”.
d) Test Code: Check that the code has been learnt successfully, Press Test Code to
return to the previous menu.
3.3 RF address setting
Each RF Remote Controller has an address, the address range is 1~65534.
You can set up to four "receiving address" in each RF receiver, correspondingly, the RF
receiver can receive control commands from four matched RF Remote Controllers.

3.4 Firmware Upgrade
To upgrade the Remote Controller firmware it is necessary to connect it via USB to a PC.
When the device remote is connected open ‘my computer’, double click to open mobile
devices ‘CRP DISABLED’. Simply replace the new existing ‘firmware.bin’ with the new
‘.bin’ file. To complete the upgraded disconnect the Remote Control from the computer
and then reset it.
3.5 Universal code
The Remote Controller has built-in HDL IR codes, which can be used to control all HDL
panels and no need to learn the IR codes.
For example:
1) In ‘1 Col panel’ page, you can control of 1 Col panels, 2 Col panels, touch panels, and
even LCD DLP panels is possible.
2) But in “DLP panel” page, you just can control DLP panels.
3.6 Changing Icons
To change the Icon shown on the Remote Control, please use the HDL Easy
Engineering Editor (Icon “Remote Controller” on the menu bar).
Icon size: (pixel)
DLP panel: 64*25
IR panel: 64*25

3.6.1 How to design the Icons
Method one:
Use 3rd party software to design the icons, the icon type should be .bmp, remember to pay
careful attention to the icon size.
After the icon has been designed put it in the ‘DIY’ folder
You can find this folder by right clicking on the software’s icon -> Properties (R) -> Find the
targets -> the “DIY” folder.
Method two:
a) Open the ‘HDL Easy Engineering Editor’ software and click on the button. After
this enter the IR Remote Icon window.
b) Click the “DIY” icon, the window shown below will then pop up.

Text edit box: From the four text boxes shown, choose the first and write the desired text.
When you have finished press the ‘enter’ key, the edit box will jump to the
second box.
Preview box: To preview the generated icon.
Name edit box: Change the name of the icon by using the name edit box.
c) The size of a DLP is 64×25, if the size of your text exceeds this it needs to be changed.
For example, in the DIY preview, select Text Left and 49. This will make the text box
49% of the icon box.
In the example below how to change the icon and text is demonstrated;
1- Drag the icon from the icon library and drop it to the column immediately. The sun
icon has been dragged and dropped, you can add the text ‘DAY’ in the text edit box.
2- In text edit box type in ‘DAY’, and press the ‘enter’ key on the keyboard, then type in
