Introduction
Congratulations!
You have purchased one of the most sophisticated remote controls
on the market. The NX-RM505 has been designed to provide a new
standard in remote control technology offering a very powerful and
flexible pre-programmed and learning product.
Setting up your NX-RM505 to operate your components is easy.
Please follow the instructions in the manual and retain the manual for
future reference. If any words used are unfamiliar to you, please refer
to page 46 for a GLOSSARY of terms used in this manual.
Your NX-RM505 can operate up to ten home entertainment and
home automation components by using the pre-programmed code
library in the remote control, by teaching up to 530 commands into
the NX-RM505 from your original remote controls, or a combination
of both.
The NX-RM505 has many additional operating features to ad
convenience and enjoyment to the operation of your home entertainment system. You can create your own labels of the buttons on the
LCD screen; program 50 favorite channel buttons; operate the volume, channel and transport buttons from one device when you are in
another device; and have multiple things done with one press
of a button!

2. Batteries
A. Battery Installation
Before the remote control can be used, the batteries need to be
installed. First, remove the battery cover on the back of the unit
and install the four AAA batteries inside the battery compartment
as shown. Make sure the batteries lineup with the (+) and (-)
markings. Improper installation could damage the remote control.
When you're done, slide the battery cover back on. The remote
control starts up automatically and the default devices will appear
on the LCD screen.
B. Battery Life
Under normal operating conditions, the batteries will last approximately six months. If the batteries are running low, you will notice
reduced range from the remote, commands that are not sent properly, or are not sent at all. You may also notice the backlighting of
the LCD screen and the buttons is diminished. Should any of these
occur, replace the batteries immediately. To ensure proper performance of the unit, use 4 new AAA alkaline batteries.
The remote control will retain the commands and settings in
memory even after the batteries are low or become discharged.
See Memory Lock on page 46.
However, you should replace the worn batteries with a fresh set as
soon as possible. Do not mix new and used batteries.

3. Summary of Operations
A. Description of Devices
The NX-RM505 is designed to operate up to ten components
including Audio Receivers, Cable and Satellite Boxes, TV, DVD (LD),
VCR, DVR, CD, Tape and AUX. However, each of the device buttons
and corresponding functions can be changed to meet your individual requirements. Almost any device that uses infrared commands
can be controlled by the NX-RM505, including home automation,
personal computers and more.
Each device button on the main screen contains two sub-pages of
commands and you can change the name of any LCD button using
up to five alphabet characters, numbers and symbols to customize
the unit to fit your audio/video devices. Please refer to ‘LCD Button
Editing’ on page 39for additional details.
B. Pre-programmed Codes
The NX-RM505 comes with extensive pre-programmed IR codes
for practically all major audio and video equipment. You can set up
and operate all of your components with the NX-RM505 by simply
entering a three-digit code number assigned to your brand of component. The code numbers for the various brands of components
are listed in the back of this instruction manual. Please refer to the
programming instructions shown on page 13 for details.
NX-RM505

3. Summary of Operations
C. Learning From Other Remote Controls
The NX-RM505 can learn codes from your original remote controls.
There are 26 LCD screens in the NX-RM505. Each screen (page)
has ten function buttons, including the ten device buttons on the
main menu screen that can be taught. In addition, there are 31 buttons and a joystick (thumb pad) that can be taught for each of the
ten devices. You can teach up to 530 new functions into the remote
control. Please refer to page 19 in this instruction manual for
details.
D. Macro Operations
A ‘macro’ is a series of commands that you choose to be sent out
with the push of one button. Any function available on your original
remote control or in the pre-programmed database can be added to
a macro to completely automate what you would normally do by
pushing buttons one at a time. It can be as simple as turning on
your TV and Cable Box, turning the TV to the appropriate channel
for operation with the Cable Box and changing the Cable Box channel to your favorite morning news. A macro can be configured to
Power On your TV, DVD player and receiver, change to the appropriate inputs and outputs, dim your lights and start a movie. It can
be as simple or as comprehensive as you want. There are two types
of macro buttons you can use for macro operations:
M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF Buttons
The M1, M2 and M3 are called ‘system-wide’ buttons because they
send out the same signal no matter what device you are currently
controlling. The POWER and
NX-RM505
7
NX-RM505_Remote_Manual 10/6/08 6:17 PM Page 7
Page 8
3. Summary of Operations
SYSTEM OFF buttons can be made ‘system-wide’ if they are programmed with macros.
(Note: Programming the POWER or SYSTEM OFF buttons with a
macro overrides the pre-programmed or learned code on the button.) See page 26 of this manual for further information. Each of
these five buttons is designed to be able to send out a series of up
to 20 commands you program into the buttons. One common use
is to turn on and turn off all of your A/V components with one button press, but the buttons can be programmed with whatever
macro you desire.
Ten Device Buttons
There are ten device buttons and each of these device buttons can
send out a series of up to 20 programmed commands when
pressed for more than one second. These buttons are commonly
used in sending audio input codes when you press the button to go
to a device. The audio receiver would make an automatic input
switch according to the device button you pressed. However, these
buttons can be programmed with whatever macro you desire.
E. Favorite Channel Buttons
You can create up to 50 favorite channel buttons in the NX-RM505
by programming the most frequently watched channel numbers
into these buttons. Each of these buttons can send out up to 10
commands. Please refer to page 24 of the manual for Favorite
Channel Programming.
F. Punch Through Operations
The NX-RM505 can be set up to operate your audio component
volume control buttons (VOLUME UP and DOWN and
NX-RM505

…MUTE) while all the other buttons control other equipment. You
can also set up the remote to operate channel control and transport
functions (PLAY, STOP, REWIND, FAST FORWARD, SKIP-, SKIP+,
PAUSE and RECORD buttons) from VCR, DVD, DVR, LD, CD or any
other mode while all other buttons in the remote control are controlling other components. Please refer to page 32 in the manual for
details.
G. Editing LCD Text
You can write your own text on each of the twenty-six LCD screens.
Please refer to page 39 in the manual for details.
H. Cloning The NX-RM505
The NX-RM505 is capable of sending all the programmed codes
and operations from one NX-RM505 to another NX-RM505. Please
refer to page 43 in the manual for details.
I. All Other Operations
You can set the duration of the backlight on time and change the
LCD screen contrast. Please refer to pages 42and 44 in the manual
for additional details.
Note: The last Device selected will remain active when you are on
the MAIN page and will be shown at the bottom of the LCD screen.
For example, if you are using ‘TV’ and then return to the MAIN
page, the hard buttons remain in TV mode. The LCD buttons only
change when you select another device.

K. System Settings
All programming is done by first entering the SETUP mode
in the remote control. Press both the MAIN and ENTER buttons
simultaneously for three seconds to enter the SETUP mode.
SETUP will be shown at the top of the LCD screen.
You exit the SETUP mode by simply pressing the MAIN button.
Important:
When using the Preprogramming method starting on
page 13, always use the appropriate button as shown in the illustration above when asked ‘FROM TABLE’. You may have already
changed the labels of the buttons, but the code tables are in the
positions as shown. For example, the AUDIO Code Table (refer to
pages starting at 58) will ALWAYS be the top-left button. The SAT
Code Table will always be the 4th button down on the right side of
the LCD screen, etc.

4. Programming the NX-RM505 to Control
Your Components
WHERE DO I START?
First of all, get all of your original remote controls together. Find out
what brands of components you have. You may have one or more
components that do not have original remote controls, but can still
be controlled by the NX-RM505. You must use the pre-programmed
method for those devices. For the rest, you can program the NXRM505 to make it compatible with your components by following
the pre-programmed method instructions, by using your original
remote controls to teach the NX-RM505, or both methods.
Next, it is a good idea to decide whether you want a ‘Device-based’
configuration, or if you want an ‘Activity-based’ configuration.
A ‘Device-based’ configuration centers on each Device with its two
LCD pages controlling one component. All of the functions that
your original remote control has on it would be put on to one
device. The NX-RM505 comes with the labels and pre-programmed
codes in a ‘Device-based' setup.
If you go to the ‘List of Pre-programmed LCD Text by Device’ on
page 53, you will see diagrams of how the NX-RM505 is set up at
the factory. When you choose a pre-programmed code for a component from the ‘Setup Code Tables’ in the Appendix of this manual, that code will be applied to one device only.
An ‘Activity-based’ configuration centers on what you are doing at
the time.
If you are watching a DVD on your TV and are using your Home
Theater receiver to control the sound, you may want to start by setting up the DVD Device using the pre-programmed method
described below and then add functions from the other devices you
will be using while watching your DVD video to the DVD device. For
example, while playing a DVD, you will want to adjust the volume of
your receiver. So, you would use the ‘Punch Through’ method
described on page 32 to put the Receiver's Volume control into
NX-RM505
12
NX-RM505_Remote_Manual 10/6/08 6:17 PM Page 12
Page 13
4. Programming the NX-RM505 to Control
Your Components
your DVD Device. You may then want to adjust other functions of
your Receiver while staying in the DVD device, so you would use
the learning method described on page 19 to add those functions to
your DVD device, such as surround sound controls, the receiver's
DVD input code, the TV's power code, etc. Everything that you need
for watching a DVD on your TV without having to jump back and
forth from Device to Device.
You can decide where on the NX-RM505 you want your functions
to reside, relabeling the LCD screen buttons (explained on page 39)
for those functions and choosing preprogramming, learning, or a
combination of both to fully customize your NX-RM505 will give
you a remote totally customized to your needs.
So, let's start with learning how to Preprogram the NX-RM505.
A. Using Pre-programmed Codes
1. Three-Digit Code Number
You can program the NX-RM505 to make it compatible with your
components by using the pre-programmed method:
NX-RM505
13
NX-RM505_Remote_Manual 10/6/08 6:17 PM Page 13
Page 14
4. Programming the NX-RM505 to Control
Your Components
1
Manually turn on the device you wish to operate.
2.
Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and ENTER
buttons simultaneously for three seconds until SETUP appears at the
top of the LCD screen.
3
. Press the P-PRO button next to the LCD screen.
4
The remote will be flashing ‘SELECT BUTTON’. Press the button for
the device you wish to program. (For example, to program TV, press
the TV button.)
5
The remote will be flashing ‘FROM TABLE’. Select the device from
which you want to access the code table. Important: If you have
already relabeled your device keys, your LCD screen will not look like
the illustration above. Select the appropriate LCD button for the
‘FROM TABLE’ using the labels as shown in the illustration on page
11 of this manual. For example, if you have relabeled AUX as
LIGHTS, you would still push the bottom-left button to access the
AUX Code Table.
6
The remote will be flashing ‘ENTER NUMBER’. Refer to the tables
starting on page 58 in the back of this manual and find the
manufacturer of your device. (If you are programming the remote for
the TV device, find the TV device code table.)
7
Point the remote control toward the device and enter the
NX-RM505
14
NX-RM505_Remote_Manual 10/6/08 6:17 PM Page 14
Page 15
4. Programming the NX-RM505 to Control
Your Components
first three-digit code number you selected for your device. There is
no way of knowing which code is the one that will have the functions that more closely match your device than the others, so it is
wise to try them all. See step #9 below. (Please enter the code
number within 20 seconds of beginning programming, otherwise
the remote will revert to the SETUP menu and then after a period of
time, it will go back to the MAIN device page.)
If there is more than one code number assigned to your brand, try
one code number at a time until you find the right code number
(the number that turns off your device.)
If the device turns off when you enter the three-digit code, make
note of the code. It will have at least some of the functions in it that
are needed to control your device.
8
Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power button.
The device should turn on. After you have confirmed that the right
code is entered, save the code by pressing the SAVE button on
the LCD.
9
At this point try ALL of the buttons on the remote and see which
ones work with your device. The majority of the buttons should work
with your device. Make note of the code if it seems to be the right
one and try the next one. You are trying to find the one that has the
most functions to operate your equipment. If there are any functions
missing, you will learn them from your original remote in the
‘Learning Method’ section on page 19.
10
Continue to program other components by repeating from Step 1
above.
11
You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to proceed.

Your Components
12.
When you are finished programming your remote, exit from the
preprogramming mode by pressing the MAIN button and then exit
from the SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button once again.
Tip: You can change the pre-programmed code for each device at any time
by following the steps above. The new code will override the old code. For
example, this would be gone if you replaced your old TV with a new one.
2. Auto Scan With Three-Digit Number
You can also program your remote control by sending out a series
of Power Off commands for different brands stored in the library by
using the following steps. This is similar to the first method, except
it is easier to move through all of the device codes for your device
and make note of each one that turns your device OFF.
1.
Manually turn on the device you plan to operate.
2
. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN and ENT
buttons simultaneously for three seconds.
3.
Press the P-PRO button next to the LCD screen.

The remote will be flashing ‘SELECT BUTTON’. Press the device you
wish to program. (For example, to program TV, press the TV button.)
5
The remote will be flashing ‘FROM TABLE’. Select the device from
which the scanned code will be selected.
(Important: If you have already relabeled your device keys, your LCD
screen will not look like the illustration above. Select the appropriate
LCD button for the ‘FROM TABLE’ using the labels as shown in theillustration on page 11 of this manual. For example, if you have
relabeled AUX as LIGHTS, you would still push the bottom-left
button to access the AUX Code Table.
6
Point the remote control toward the component and alternately press
the UP (or DOWN) button on the LCD and the Power button. If the
right code number is sent, the component will turn off right after the
code number is transmitted.
(Please press the UP (or DOWN) button within 20 seconds of
beginning programming, otherwise the remote will revert to the
SETUP menu and then after a period of time, it will go back to the
MAIN device page.)

Confirm that it is the right code by pressing the Power button. After
you have confirmed that the right code is entered, save the code by
pressing the SAVE button on the LCD.
8
Confirm that you entered the right code number that matches your
component by pressing other functional buttons. If any of the
buttons do not operate, as they should, please repeat from Step 1.
9
Continue to program other components by repeating from step 1
above.
10
You can press EXIT at any time if you do not wish to proceed.
11
Exit from Pre-programmed mode by pressing the MAIN button and
then exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button once
again.

Page 19
4. Programming the NX-RM505 to Control Your
Components
B. Learning Method
You can program the NX-RM505 to operate a device by ‘teaching’
the correct commands to device buttons on the MAIN screen menu,
the two sub-pages within each device button, 31 buttons and the
joystick located in the middle of the remote control. The NX-RM505
learns these commands by receiving infrared signals directly from
your existing remote controls. The NX-RM505 receives these signals through its learning eye, located at the top of the unit.
Apart from the PAGE, MAIN and FAV buttons, which cannot be
taught, the NX-RM505 has the capability of learning up to 530 commands.
Tip: Function buttons are any buttons that can be assigned a command to
control a particular action for your device. Commonly used function buttons include the two pages of sub-commands within each of the 10
devices, channel up and down, volume up and down, menu, guide, exit,
info, 0-9 and the joystick.
Points to Remember
If the remote control fails to learn a function after the first try:
• Keep the remotes stable by placing them on a flat surface.
• Make sure the original remote is pointed at the learning eye
at the top end of the case and is not at an angle.
• Make sure both remotes’ batteries aren't low.
• Avoid programming the NX-RM505 under bright lighting.
It can interfere with the infrared signals.
• Try again. Sometimes the second or third attempt works.
• Some buttons require a single, short push of the original
remote's button, other ‘repeating’ buttons, such as the
VOL button, require that you ‘press and hold’ the original
remote’s button until ‘Good’ flashes twice on the LCD screen.
• Try varying the distance between the remotes until you find
an optimal distance where the codes are learned on the first
or second try.

signal, the NX-RM505 will flash ‘Good’ on the LCD screen, indicating
it learned the code correctly.
(Please do Step #6 within 20 seconds of Step #5, other wise the
remote will revert to the SETUP menu and then after a period of
time, it will go back to the MAIN device page.)
If it flashes ‘Fail’, repeat from Step 4 until it learns successfully.
8
Return to Step #3 until you have programmed all of the buttons that
you require.
9
Once you complete the programming and wish to exit the LEARNING
mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from the SET UP mode by
pressing the MAIN button once again.
Tip: Learning to VOL, CH and Transport buttons: If you are having problems learning to the Volume, Channel and transport buttons, it may be
that you have previously assigned a ‘Punch Through’ from another device
to that device. To remove a Punch Through, just punch through the device
to itself. For example, to erase a punch through from a TV to an Audio
Device, just punch through the TV to the TV.
(See ‘Programming Punch Through’ functions on Page 32.)

7
Once you complete the programming and wish to exit the
Learning mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from the SETUP
mode by pressing the MAIN button once again.
Tip: Only follow these instructions if you actually want a code sent when
changing devices. Some users do not want a Device to send out a code
when changing to that device.
For example: You program the AMP’s TV input code on the TV
device and are in the DVD device pages because you are controlling
the DVD player. The AMP's input is set to DVD. Now you want to
quickly adjust the picture on the TV. If you push the TV Device
button, it will change the input on your AMP to TV and you will not
be able to adjust the picture for your DVD. In this case, it would be
better not to program a code to the TV device. However, your
circumstances may be different.

Each favorite channel button can send out up to 10 commands with
one button press.
1. Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the MAIN an ENT buttons
simultaneously for three seconds.
2. Press the FAV button next to the LCD screen.
3. Press the device button that corresponds to the component that
your FAV channel will control. For example, pressing the TV device
will only send out the type of code that the TV responds to. Pressing
the Cable device will only control the cable box.
4. Press the LCD button you will be assigning to the favorite channel
and enter the channel number you wish to store in the FAVORITE
channel button. You can store up to10 digits.
5. Press the favorite channel button you selected in step 4again to
store the channel you programmed.

5. Programming Favorite Channels
Tip: If you press a wrong channel number, move the cursor
by using the left or right button of the joystick and then
reassign the correct channel number.
6
Return to Step #3 until you have programmed all of the FAV channel
buttons that you require.
7
Once you have completed the programming and wish to exit from
the Favorite Channel mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from the
SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button once again.
Tip: There are five pages of LCD screens for favorite channel
programming. You move to other pages by pressing the
PAGE or FAV button.
Tip: You can use the following buttons: 0-9, ENTER, DISPLAY, POWER, SYSTEM OFF and INFO/PAUSE in your FAV
macro.
Tip: (For Advanced Users) To make even more powerful FAV
macros, you can learn codes from your original remote(s) to
the 0-9, ENTER, DISPLAY, POWER, SYSTEM OFF and
INFO/PAUSE buttons in any device and use them in your FAV
macros. (This will not work if you have already applied a preprogrammed device code to those buttons.)
For example: Some televisions require you to send out a
code after the digits other than the ENTER code in order to
change channels. For this, you could LEARN the proper code
to the ENTER button from your original television remote and
use that in your FAV macro. If you are creative, you can learn
any codes to these buttons and make your FAV macros do
almost anything!

6. Programming Macro Buttons
A ‘macro’ is a series of commands that you choose to be sent
out with the push of one button.
There are two types of macro functions you can program with
the NX-RM505 :
The M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF buttons are designed
to send out up to twenty commands from each of the five hard
buttons. The ten device buttons can each send a macro of up to
20 commands when the device button is pressed for more than
1 second while on the MAIN page of the remote control.
Important: If you program the POWER or SYSTEM OFF Buttons
with a macro, they will no longer function as ON and OFF buttons
for your components. Just erase any macros you have programmed
on to these buttons if you want to restore the original ON and OFF
function. See the ‘Tips’ at the end of this section for help on programming macros.

6. Programming Macro Buttons
Tip: Remember that a single push of a Device Button that has
a macro connected to it will take you to that device’s function
pages. You will need to hold the Device Button down for 1
second in order to send out the macro that you have created
for that Device Button.
Tip: Pressing the PAUSE button (the key to the bottom right
of the cursor pad) during the macro programming will add a
time delay of 0.2 seconds between the commands. For
example, pressing the PAUSE button three times will create a
pause of 0.6 seconds between the commands where the
delay was inserted. Pressing the PAUSE button does not
count as a macro step.
Tip: When using a macro, remember to keep the remote
pointed toward your components until the macro is finished
being transmitted. You will notice the ‘Sending’ icon flash in
the upper right corner of the LCD screen as the macro is
sending out each command. It will not show when a series of
PAUSE commands are being executed. Wait until the icon
finishes flashing before using other functions or putting the
remote down.
Sample Macro: The following is a sample macro, to give you
a quick idea of what a macro can do, in an easy step-by-step
form. Please refer to ‘Programming Macro Buttons’ above if
you need to refresh your memory on programming macros.
This example assumes you have not changed the names of
the devices and that you have used ‘punch through’ to assign
the VOL to your receiver. If you have changed the labels, just
insert your changed names in the example below.

the other steps of the macro running while the Audio device is
‘cycling up’.)
13
Press PAUSE three times.
(The button on the bottom right of the
joystick. We’ve done this since our particular receiver takes longer
than normal to ‘cycle up’, so we have pressed the PAUSE button to
insert more time for the receiver to get to the point where it will
receive another command. Pressing the PAUSE button three times
allows for an extra. 6 seconds of wait time. 3 x .2 seconds per
push = .6 seconds)

For example, for VOL you are punching through the controls of the
Audio receiver’s VOL to the TV or Cable box, enabling you to control the Audio receiver's VOL when in the TV or Cable box screen
6 Punch Through is saved when the second device is pressed.
7 Repeat from Step #2 to program Punch Through for other devices.
8 Once you complete the programming and wish to exit from this
mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from the SETUP mode by
pressing the MAIN button once again.
Tip:
When using Punch Through, think of the first Device you
select as the Device that now controls the functions and think
of the second Device as the device that you want to control
those functions. You are taking the controls of the second
device and ‘punching them through’ to the first device.

17. Glossary
Backlight:
A feature that illuminates the LCD screen or key pad for
use in low light or dark conditions.
Battery type:
The NX-RM505 uses 4 standard disposable alkaline
AAA batteries, or the new rechargeable alkaline batteries.
Codes:
Can refer to either the numeric codes needed to program
a pre-programmed remote control, or the actual infrared signals
transmitted by remote controls to devices.
Component:
See device.
Contrast:
Either an arbitrary description of how ‘clear’ an LCD
screen is for viewing, or a specific adjustment that allows you to
customize the screen’s visible characteristics.
Delay:
Usually a pause placed between two steps in a macro.
Delays may be required in order for some devices to properly
sense two separate commands, or may be used to wait for a
device to finish powering up. The NX-RM505 allows you to
change that delay.
NX-RM505

NX-RM505_Remote_Manual 10/6/08 6:17 PM Page 46
Page 47
17. Glossary
Discrete Codes:
Versions of toggle codes that only perform one
function. Some examples would be ‘POWER ON’ and ‘POWER OFF’
or ‘VCR’, ‘TUNER’ and ‘DVD’ receiver inputs. These types of signals
are most often used to ensure your home theater components stay
completely in sync for powering on and off and changing device
inputs. Some of the pre-programmed codes in the NX-RM505 contain discrete codes. If your original remote contains discrete codes,
these can be taught to the NX-RM505 as well.
Device:
The NX-RM505 remote control is capable of controlling a
certain number of devices, or pieces of equipment. Examples of
devices would be televisions, DVD players, receivers or VCRs.
Some devices, such as receivers or dual-cassette decks, may be
treated by some remotes as more than one device. Also known
as components.
Firmware:
Indicates the programming software stored on the
remote control. The NX-RM505 remote can have its firmware
flashed (upgraded) to a newer version.
Frequencies:
The range of infrared carrier frequencies that a remote
control is capable of learning or controlling. Most remotes operate
between 30 and 60kHz, however some use higher and are thus
known as high frequency. The NX-RM505 operates and can learn
frequencies between 10 kHz and 100kHz.
Hard buttons:
Refers to all physical (mechanical) buttons on a
remote control.
High frequency:
Indicates an infrared system that employs
frequencies higher than the industry standard. Some examples
would be Bang & Olufsen, Kenwood (455KHz) and older Pioneer
Elite (1.125MHz). Such devices are never pre-programmed into
off-the-shelf remote controls and can generally only be used with
very specific learning remote controls.

17. Glossary
Infrared:
‘IR’ A portion of the light spectrum below our visible
range, used by many modern remote controls to transmit signals.
The NX-RM505 uses IR signals.
Infrared emitter:
A light emitting diode used to transmit infrared
signals from a remote control. Generally, the more and better the
emitter, the stronger and wider the resulting signal. A remote with
strong emitter can generally be used without pointing at the desired
device. emitter are also partially responsible for any limits on the
range of frequencies that can be controlled. Emitters are always
placed at the ‘top’ of a remote control and are typically shielded by
a red plastic window. The NX-RM505 has 2 very strong IR emitters.
Infrared receiver:
The portion of a device that receives infrared
commands from a remote control. Since infrared is actually light, it
requires line-of-sight visibility for best operation, but can still be
reflected by items such as walls and glass. Poorly placed IR
receivers can also result in what is called ‘tunnel vision’, where they
are set so far back into the chassis of a device that the operational
range of any remote control is severely reduced.
Joystick:
A feature on some remote controls, the joystick is a single
pointer which replicates five functions for menu control: up, down,
left, right and enter. The Joystick on the NX-RM505 can be programmed with other commands as well. The Joystick on the NXRM505 is sometimes referred to as a thumb pad.
NX-RM505

17. Glossary
Keypad:
Generally refers to all hard buttons on a remote control,
or more specifically the numeric keypad (0 through 9).
LCD screen:
The display device built into the NX-RM505. The
NX-RM505 LCD screen displays mode and programming
information, along with macro commands and soft buttons.
Learning:
The process through which a remote control captures
and stores infrared signals (codes) from other remotes for later
use. Some factors which can affect the ability of one remote to
learn another would be code length, signal frequency, type of signal
and the amount of learning memory available. The NX-RM505 is
capable of learning to every button, including the joystick, except
the Page, Main, Fav buttons.
Macro:
Macros are sequences of infrared commands that are played
back, in order, by a remote control at the push of a single button.
Macros can be used to automate the powering on or off of your
system, playing a movie or changing inputs, or in Home
Automation.
Memory:
The amount of space included on a remote control for
storing all settings, such as pre-programmed codes, learned
signals, macros and more. The NX-RM505 has a large memory
reserve for learning new codes.
NX-RM505

17. Glossary
Memory backup:
The NX-RM505 can retain its programming
information for an indefinite amount of time without batteries
installed. Remotes that do not feature this may have their
programming erased when changing batteries.
Operating distance:
The distance from which a remote control can
still reliably operate devices. The average infrared range is thirty
feet, although the NX-RM505 is capable of greater distances.
Page:
Refers to a single screen of buttons or information displayed
on the LCD panel.
Pause:
See
Delay
.
Power off:
A feature used by many LCD remote controls to save
battery power, it represents entering a ‘standby’ mode after a
certain length of inactivity. The NX-RM505 uses very little power
with the LCD screen on, so the screen remains on at all times.
Pre-programmed:
Indicates a library of infrared codes built in to a
particular remote. This feature allows a remote to control your
equipment without needing to learn individual signals, or replace a
particular remote that is lost or broken. The database used for the
pre-programmed Device codes may not be able to control all your
devices. In this case you can simply use the learning capabilities of
the remote.
Punch Through:
A term coined to represent the ability to use certain
functions from one device under another. For instance, when a
remote is set to the ‘Television’ device, the transport keys may be
‘punched through’ to operate the VCR, while the volume keys may
be ‘punched through’ to operate the audio receiver.

17. Glossary
Signals:
See ‘codes’ or ‘infrared’.
Thumb pad:
A feature on certain remote controls, the thumb pad is
a single disc-shaped pointer which replicates five functions for
menu control: up, down, left, right and ENTER. Also referred to as a
‘joystick’.
Transport control:
A common term for the group of
VCR/LD/DVD/DVR media operation controls, such as
fast-forward, rewind, play, stop, pause, etc.
Two Way
Some devices actually send information back to a remote
control during use. This is known as 2-way communications.
Most 2-way components can still be controlled via a 1-way remote,
although certain work arounds must be used when learning signals.
The NX-RM505 is capable of controlling most 2-way components.
