Chapter 3 Setting Up the RM-900
Before the RM-900 can be used to control a device, it
needs to be configured to display your existing remote
control keys and it must be programmed to send the
correct infrared signals.
This chapter guides you through the Touch Screen layout
and RM-900 setup procedures.
NOTE: The RM-900 includes eight default devices,
including TV, satellite TV, VCR, DVD player, hi-fi stereo,
radio/cassette player, CD player, and auxiliary.
LCD Layout: Device Keys

three seconds to enter the
confirmation screen.
2. Press the four numerical keys
in any sequence to enter the
selection screen.
3. Press and to scroll
through the options. Select
Key mode and press .

Code and Learn Setting Key
Press (Code setup key) for three seconds to enter the

RM-900 User’s Manual
14
any sequence to enter the selection screen. Press and
to scroll through the following options.
xCode: Use this option to automatically configure all
keys on the RM-900 for use with a specific
manufacturer’s model number. This option is the
fastest way to program the RM-900 but requires that
your device be located in the Pre-programmed Code
List that was bundled with the RM-900. Refer to the
supplied code list. Some newer or less-common
devices may not be pre-programmed and their codes
must be learned using the Learning Function by the
RM-900.
xLearn: Use this option to directly learn the infrared
signals from another remote control. This option is
perfect for newer or less common devices, or if a
certain key does not perform the desired function
after using the CODE option. However, if you come
across the problem that the RM-900 cannot learn your
device codes, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 35
or contact Majestic.

Using Pre-programmed Code to Program Devices
15
Using Pre-programmed Code to Program
Devices
Follow these instructions to program a device using pre-
programmed codes.
Manually Selecting the Code
1. Select a device (for example
TV).
2. Turn on the target device you
want the RM-900 to control.
3. Search for the four-digit code
number of your target device
in the Pre-programmed Code
List.
NOTE: If there is no entry for your target device, try
automatically selecting the code.

RM-900 User’s Manual

4. Enter the four-digit code
number manually to finish the
setting.
NOTES:
xSome codes are designed to operate more than
one model. It may take several tries to find the code
that works with your unit.
xWhen you enter the manufacturer’s code and an
icon is displayed, it could be that the code
number doesn’t exist in the manufacturer’s code
table yet.
xEach device set up can be used for any type of
target devices under the manually programming
procedure only.
Example: You have two different types of TV device and want
to be set up in a RM-900.
1. The first target device (TV1) is set up by following
up the indications of the user’s manual.
2. The second target device (TV2) set up likes the
first step, but the device you select from RM-900
should be the others ( for example Tuner,
DVD, ….etc.)

Using Pre-programmed Code to Program Devices
17
Automatically Selecting the Code
1. Automatically Selecting the Code
2. Turn on the target device you
want the RM-900 to control.
3. Press the device key (for example
TV). Point the RM-900 at the target
device.
4. Press . Wait for the device to
turn off and immediately touch
any part of the screen to stop
automatic searching.
5. Press and keys to look
for the correct power key of the
device to turn on the device.
6. Press to confirm if the number
is correct. Now press the key
to show the correct pre-
programmed code in sequence.
7. Press to confirm the selection
and save settings or click to
cancel.
NOTES:
xEach device can auto search the target device
code under the same classification only.

Using Code Learning Mode
Follow these instructions to enable the RM-900 to detect
and learn a remote control’s configuration.
Before Using Learning Mode
Note the following before using the RM-900’s learning
function: not all infrared codes are learnable by the RM-900.
You may need to collect the codes first. To change from a
device that has already been programmed, delete all of
the commands of the first device before teaching new
ones. For example, to operate the living room TV instead of
the bedroom TV, delete all commands for the bedroom TV
first. Then re-configure the TV device screen for the living
room TV.
NOTES:
xCode learning does not work with all devices.
xSelect one device screen in advance before
using code learning mode.
xAll keys except the Code Setup key, Delete key,
Macro key, and System setup key can be
learned.
