USING LEARNING
The Potenza ST Universal Remote Control includes a
Learning feature (not available on all models) so you
can add functions that are unique to your home
entertainment devices (e.g.,VCR T
racking Up or Down).
However, there are some considerations .
Learning Precautions
• Your original remote controls must be in working
order for learning to work properly.
• Learned keys are mode-specific, so each one can
store a unique function for each mode.
• Do not use the following keys for learning: Device
Keys, SETUP, Record (•), Tune-In Keys.
• Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25 keys,
depending on the code being learned.
• Certain device functions are not learnable including
multi-frequency types, some high frequency ones,
and other unusual formats.
• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient
light such as natural sunlight or energy-efficient
fluorescent lights.
NOTE: Please have your original remote controls
handy before programming learning.
Programming a Learned Key
NOTE: If more than 15 seconds pass between key
presses, the remote exits programming.
3. Press the desired key on the Potenza ST once
to store the feature to be learned.
1. Press and hold SETUP until the last-selected
mode key blinks twice, then press 9 7 5.
NOTE: If the LED displays one long flash instead,
either your batteries are low, or the Potenza ST
Universal Remote Control has a memory fault.
2. Press a mode key once (i.e., VCR, DVD, AUD,
TV, or STB) to assign a mode for learning.
Nebula Potenza ST.fm Page 14 Monday, October 15, 2007 4:55 PM

15
4. Place the Potenza ST Remote Control head-to-
head (about 2" apart) from your original
remote control. Also locate the key (on your
original remote control) that you want the
Potenza ST Universal Remote Control to learn.
5. On the original remote, press and hold the key
to be learned. The Potenza ST Remote
Control’s LED will blink rapidly, then turn off.
Continue holding the key on the original
remote until the LED blinks twice.
NOTE: If the LED displays one long blink, a learning
error has occurred. Try repeating this step
again until a successful capture occurs. If the
function is still not captured, press and hold
SETUP to exit programming and review the
“Learning Precautions” on the previous page.
If needed, also see “Troubleshooting” on
page 24. After review, start programming
again at step 1.
Deleting a Single Learning Key
T
his process returns the key to its original programmin g
for the mode you select. You can also delete learned
programming by teaching a different function to the key
(see “Programming a Learned Key” on page 14)
NOTE: If more than 15 seconds pass between key
presses, the remote exits programming.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for another mode
and/or key or press and hold SETUP until the
active mode key LED blinks twice to exit
programming.
1. Press and hold SETUP until the last-selected
mode key blinks twice, then press 9 7 6.
2. Press a mode key once (i.e., VCR, DVD, AUD,
TV, or STB). The LED on the selected mode
key will blink once.

3. Press the key containing the learned function
to be deleted twice. The active MODE key will
blink twice.
Deleting All Learned Keys in a Specific Mode
NOTE: If more than 15 seconds pass between key
presses, the remote exits programming.
PROGRAMMING CHANNEL CONTROL LOCK
By default, the remote control’s channel-control
capabilities are locked to the set-top box. The affected
keys*are 1through 0, CH+, CH-, and LAST. This will
guarantee that you do not inadvertently change a
channel on your TV or VCR. However, you can de-
activate this feature to allow full access to these keys in
the TV and VCR modes.
*NOTE: This feature does not affect the AUD mode.
4. Repeat steps 2 through 3 for another key or
press and hold SETUP to exit programming.
1. Press and hold SETUP until the last-selected
mode key blinks twice, then press 9 7 6.
2. Press a mode key twice (i.e., VCR, DVD, AUD,

the channel keys will only change channels on your set-
top box.
CHANGING VOLUME LOCK
Volume Lock allows you to control the volume through
the device identified as having your primary speaker(s),
regardless of which mode you are using. On the Potenza
ST Remote Control, Global Volume Lock is set to TV, so

Locking Volume Control To One Mode (Global
Volume Lock)
NOTE: The audio mode’s volume controls are active
regardless of Volume Lock settings. However,
if you lock the volume controls to the AUD
mode, you will control the audio device’s vol-
ume in all other modes (i.e., VCR, DVD, TV, or
CBL). This can be an advantage if, for exam-
ple, you always listen to home entertainment
devices through your receiver’s speakers.
Now, when you press VOL+, VOL-,or MUTE, the volume of
the selected device (e.g., TV) is controlled regardless of
mode.
PROGRAMMING ID LOCK
The Potenza ST Universal Remote Control is locked at
the factory to operate your service provider’s set-top

top box or satellite service that you would like to control,
then you’ll need to perform the following steps to unlock
the ID Lock, enter a new manufacturer’s code, and lock
the ID Lock again.

until the last-selected device key blinks twice.

want to use to control the volume. The
selected device key will blink twice.
2. On the remote control, press STB once; it will
blink once. Then press and hold SETUP until
the STB key blinks twice.
3. Enter 9 8 2. The STB key will blink four

4. Perform the instructions under
“Programming Device Control” on page 9 to
program device control for the desired cable
converter or satellite receiver.
When you are done, perform steps 5 and 6 on
this page to again lock the ID Lock.
PROGRAMMING MACRO KEYS
The Potenza ST Universal Remote Control includes two
macro keys (located directly below the MUTE and LAST
keys). Macro keys allow you to set up key macros to
activate certain keys in a specific order. For example, you
can set up a key macro to change the channels on your
TV, raise or lower the volume, and start recording on
your VCR, all with the touch of one key. If you want to
change the macros stored in a previously-programmed
macro key, you’ll need to clear the key first (see
“Clearing a Macro Key” on page 21).
