Universal Remote

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an A-BUS™ Universal Remote. Your remote has a dedicated A-BUS bank and six banks of buttons that can be encoded from the library of codes or codes which you can learn from the handsets belonging to the components you wish to control. Each button including bank buttons can learn macros (multiple commands). Once set up to your requirements it should make the operation of your system simple and functional. To program your devices, follow the instructions in “Programming a Device”. For best results, please read and follow all the remaining instructions. Also, keep this guide for future reference.

Programming A Device

To control TV, VCR, DVD and CD players, Cable and Satellite Receivers, and Amp/Tuner, follow these steps. Before proceeding, find the codes for the devices you wish to program in “Manufacture’s Codes” on pages 7,8,9 & 10 of this manual and write them down in the section below or highlight them for your reference. NOTE : Any device may be set up on any mode key.

1. Turn on the device (for example, DVD player) and, if needed, load media (for example, a DVD).

2. Press a device key (AMP, SAT, TNR, CD, AUX or DVD).

3. Press and hold “SETUP” until the red LED blinks twice, then release.

4. Enter the first five digit code for your device. The LED blinks once as each digit is entered. If the code is correct, the LED blinks twice.

NOTE: If the LED does not blink twice, repeat steps 2 to 4 and try entering the code again.

5. Aim the remote at the device and press Power. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat steps 3-5, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If you cannot find a code that works, see “Searching for Your Code”.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for the other devices you want to control. For future reference, write down each working device code below:

Searching For Your Code

If your device does not respond to the remote after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed, try searching for your code:

1. Press a device key once.

2. Press and hold “SETUP” until the red LED blinks twice, then release.

3. Enter “991”. The LED blinks twice.

4. Enter the device group number:

Code Device Group 0 Cable (Cable Converters, Video Accessories, Satellite Receivers) 1 TV (TVs) 2 VCR (VCRs, DVD players) 3 Audio (Audio Amplifiers, Audio Amp/Tuners, CD players)

5. Select a test function, such as Power or Play. The remote sends IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.

6. If the device responds, go to step 7. If the device does not respond press “CH+”. The remote will try the next code. Continue until the device responds.

NOTE: Press “CH-” to try the previous code.

7. To set the code, press “SETUP” once. The LED blinks twice.

8. To search for other device codes, repeat steps 1 to 6.

Checking The Codes

If you have set up the remote using the procedure in “Searching for Your Code”, you may need to find out which four-digit code is operating your equipment. For example, to find out which code is assigned to your AMP:

1. Press AMP once.

2. Press and hold “SETUP” until the red LED blinks twice, then release.

3. Enter “990”. The LED blinks twice.

4. To view the code for the first digit, press “1” Count the LED blinks (for example, three blinks = 3),

and write down the number in the appropriate code listing at the bottom of page 2 under “Program ming a Device”. NOTE: If a code digit is 0, the LED does not blink.

5. Repeat step 4 for the three remaining digits, using 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, 4 for

the fourth digit and 5 for the fifth digit.

6. To check for other device codes, repeat steps 1-5, substituting the device key for AMP

Changing The Volume Lock

The A-BUS™ Universal Remote comes preset to allow independent volume control of each selected device (Global Volume Unlock). However, you may change the Volume Lock Setting to Global Volume Lock so that one device’s volume will control volume in all other modes. After that, you can perform independent operation or Global Volume Unlock to remove all volume locking.

Locking Volume Control to One Mode (Global Volume Lock)

1. Press and hold “SETUP” until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
