NOTE: If a code digit is 0, the LED does not blink.
5. Repeat step 4 for the four 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
Sources 2-6.
Changing Volume Lock
The NV-LRC1 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 source’s volume
will control volume in all other modes. After that, you can perform
Individual Volume Unlock on a selected source to set its volume control
for 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 red LED blinks twice, then release.
2. Enter 993 and then press the mode key for the source you want to
control volume (for example, CD). The LED blinks twice. Now, when you press VOL+, VOL- or Mute, the selected source (for example, CD) will control the volume regardless of the current mode.
Unlocking All Volume Control (Restoring Global Unlock)
1. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
2. Enter 993 and then press VOL+. The LED blinks four times. Volume is
independently controlled for all programmed sources.
Unlocking a Single Source’s Volume Control
1. Press a source key (1-6).
2. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
3. Enter 993 and then press VOL-. The LED blinks four times. Volume is
independently controlled for the selected sources.
Programming Macros
A macro can be used to control a home theater operation, to set a
favorite channel, or for other multiple functions you would like to
control with one key press. You can use any key to activate a macro.
Moreover, each Macro Key can hold up to 32 key presses total.
You can program a macro that will operate regardless of what mode you
are in, or one that will only operate when you are in a specific mode.
NOTE: Programming a new macro over an existing one will erase the
original macro.
Programming a Mode-Independent Macro
1. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
2. Press 995. The LED blinks twice.
3. Press the key you want to use to activate your macro (POWER, any
unused key, etc.).
4. Enter the series of commands you want the macro to execute (up to 32
commands).
5.Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
Now, when you press the Macro key, the remote will send the series of
commands you have entered, regardless of what mode you are in. For
example, you could program the Macro key to turn on both your TV and
cable box and select a particular channel.
To clear the macro, repeat steps 1 to 5 above, but do not enter a series of
commands at step 4.
Programming a Mode-Dependent Macro
1. Press a source key (1-6).
2. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks twice.
3. Press 978. The LED blinks twice.
4. Press the key you want to use to activate your macro (POWER, any
unused key, etc.).
5. Enter the series of commands you want the macro to execute (up to 32

Now, when you press the Macro key, the remote will send the series of
commands you have entered, but only if you are in the mode you selected in step 1. For example, you could program the Macro key to turn
on your T2 tuner and select a particular channel, but only if you are in
tuner mode. If you are in DVD mode, this key will do nothing.
Clearing a Mode-Dependent Macro
1. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
2. Press 978.
3. Press the source key where you programmed the macro (Source 1-6).
4. Press the macro’s activation key (POWER, any unused key, etc.).
5. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
Using Learning
The NV-LRC1 includes a Learning feature so you can add functions that
are unique to your home entertainment devices (e.g., CD skip forward or
backward). However, there are some considerations:
Learning Precautions
- Your original remote controls must be in working order for learning to
work properly.
- Learning keys are mode specific, so each one can store a unique
function for each mode.
- Learned keys can be used in macros (See Using Macros).
- Do not use the following keys for learning: Source Keys, SETUP, BACK,
REPEAT, FAV SCAN, SLEEP, or Record ( ) Key.
- Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25 keys, depending on the
code being learned.
- Certain device codes 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 10 seconds pass between key presses, the remote
exits programming.
1. Press and hold SETUP until LED flashes twice.
2. Press 975.
3. Press a source key once (1-6) to assign a mode for learning.
