No functions can be stored under the LEARN, SLEEP, Code Search, TV,
VCR, DVD, Cable, SAT, AUX, Audio or Audio 1 buttons, or the SCREEN
button.
Gather all the remotes that you want to learn “from” and have them all lined
up on your coffee table side by side. Place the LCD Remote in front of your
existing remotes so that the top of your existing remotes point at the bottom
of the LCD Remote (see diagram on next page). You can then slide the LCD

You can teach the LCD Remote to learn commands from your existing
remotes. The Remote can store original remote commands consisting of up to
40 buttons each per Mode. Only one original remote type can be stored under
any one Mode (see Tips on Learning). The Remote can also be pre-
programmed with one of the library codes and then have Learned buttons
“overlaid” in button positions of your choice.
Tips On Learning
1. Use fresh batteries for both the LCD remote and your original remote(s).
2. It is recommended that your perform a Master Reset before attempting any
learning. Note this will reset all user programming back to factory defaults.
3. Place the original remote to the rear of the LCD remote so that the IR LED

sensor, located below the hard button area. See diagram below.
4. Keep the distance between the two remotes to approximately 2 inches.
5. Experiment by learning 2 or 3 buttons initially (to ensure compatibility and
familiarity) and then carry out a Master Reset before completely learning
your original remote’s keyboard.
6. Do not attempt to learn directly under an incandescent or low-voltage light
as these can cause interference with the IR transmissions. Keep at least
three feet away from any such light sources.
7. When learning a button, do not release the button being learned until the

TV or CD/Audio Volume/Mute Punch-Through
User selectable TV or Audio Device Volume Punch-through is a feature which
lets you select which device is controlled by the Volume/Mute keys. Normally
other types of remotes punch-through to the device programmed under the TV
Mode when the Volume/Mute keys are pressed e.g. when in DVD Mode,
pressing Volume/Mute operates the TV sound. With this remote you can select
TV, or one of the programmed Audio devices, as the volume punch-through
target e.g. if you use your A/V Amplifier for sound then pressing Volume/
Mute buttons in any Mode can control your A/V Amplifier sound.
The Mode selected for Volume punch-through control must be either TV
Mode, or an AUDIO Mode programmed with a CD or Audio Device. Any
other selection (VCR, DVD, CBL, SAT) is denied with an LED “error flash.”
The power-on default is TV Volume punch-through.
Note: When TV is the punch-through device, all CD/Audio Modes take any
Volume/Mute button press commands from the CD/Audio code. All other
device types punch-through to TV Volume/Mute control. When CD/Audio is
the punch-through device, all Modes take any Volume/Mute button press
commands from that CD/Audio code.
1. Press and hold the Code Search button until the LED remains on (after
approximately 2-3 seconds) and the Main Setup Screen is shown.
2. Release the Code Search button.
3. Press and hold the Mode button for device you want the Volume buttons to
control (e.g. AUX, or AUDIO) until the LED blinks.
4. Press QUIT.
The Default Volume Control is now set for that Mode.
VCR/DVD Punch-Through
This remote lets you Punch-through to the last VCR or DVD device used.
Normally other types of remotes only punch-through (from another Mode) on
the 6 VCR carriage keys, to the device programmed under the VCR Mode key.
This is not much use if you are using a DVD programmed under a Mode other
than VCR. This remote punches-through to the last VCR or DVD device you
used. For example, if you have 3 DVD/VCR devices programmed into this
remote, the last one you accessed on the remote will be the one that has control
Advanced Options/Features
possible labels, although only the options for the Mode you selected are shown
at any one time.
Note:
1. Resetting the Mode button labels back to their power-on default setting,
results in an automatic save for that Mode.
2. You cannot change the SCREEN button.
Setting a TV Sleep Timer
The Sleep Timer feature lets the remote turn off your TV
after a period of 1 to 99 minutes. The TV Power command
is sent at the end of the timed period. The LCD SLEEP
button is used for setting a TV Sleep Timer and is only
available in TV Mode. The LCD SLEEP button is not
revealed for any other Mode that you might have set for
TV.
1. Press the TV Mode button.
2. Press SCREEN to toggle to the TV screen that displays
the SLEEP button, shown here.
3. Press and hold SLEEP until the LED remains on
(after approx. 2-3 seconds).
4. Release SLEEP.
5. Press and release TWO numeric keys (01-99)
for the time required. E.G., 0, then 7 for 7 secs.
The LED blinks off and the display
returns to normal operation.
6. The TV Sleep Timer is now set.
7. Leave the Remote pointing towards your TV with an unobstructed path.
