Getting Started
Congratulations!
You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup control systems available. The NX-RM610’s built-in library includes
thousands of different brands and models of remote controls. In
most systems, all you have to do to setup the NX-RM610 is enter
which brands and models you own. If you own a component too
new to be in the library, the NX-RM610 uses advanced learning
technology to quickly set each NX-RM610 button, one at a time.
Setting up your NX-RM610 to replace all your existing remote controls can be done in a few minutes. Basic Setup is described on
pages 5 to 13.
The NX-RM610’s exciting advanced features automate and customize operation in many ways. You could use Macro Setup to
power on all of your components and start the show with the press
of one button! With the N-RM610’s unique Favorite Channel capability, you can tune in a channel with the press of one button
instead of entering the entire channel number. Any of the button
names on the display can be edited, as you like. It is best to delay
any Advanced Setup (described on pages 14 to 36) until after you
finish Basic Setup.
Battery Installation
Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing up the cover
lock. Insert four AAA batteries into the battery compartment as
shown in the diagram.

Basic Setup
You can start setting up your NX-RM610 using either the
Pre-Programmed Method or the Learning Method. However, all
the buttons of the NX-RM610 are setup at once with the
Pre-Programmed Method, so it is usually faster than the
one-button-at-a-time Learning Method.
Pre-Programmed Method
1
Power on the A/V component you wish to setup, so that you can
test codes by sending power off commands.
2
Refer to the pre-programmed code tables on pages 37 - 58 and write
down the code numbers listed for your A/V component. The code
numbers are listed by categories of devices, then by brand. See page
37 for a category list. Code tables with model numbers are available
at www.nxgtech.com in the NX-RM610 area.
3
Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for
approximately three seconds. The top of the display will show
”SETUP”. You are in SETUP mode now.
Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in
SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button within that time, the
NX-RM610 will time out and return to normal operation.

6
In this step you select which code table to use. Thus, you can program a device named “TV” with codes from the CABLE code tables
and a device named “VIDEO” with codes from the TV code table.
If you don’t see the code table you need, press the PAGE buttons
to reveal the other page of code table categories, then select the
code table you want to use.
Note: Each name that appears in the display may include several
types of components. For example, the AUX category includes
many types of custom installation devices. See page 37 for a list
of component types each Code Table contains.
7
Point the NX-RM610 at the component, then enter the first threedigit code number from your notes using the numbered buttons.
After you enter each three-digit number, look at the component to
see if it turned off.
Continue to enter code numbers until the component turns off.
For Example: I have a Sony TV. I found the code numbers 070,
139, 147, 126, 185, 194 and 085 under Sony in the TV TABLE.
Using the numbered buttons on the NX-RM610, I entered 070
and looked at the TV. It didn’t turnoff, so I entered 139, then 147
and so on, until I found the code that powered off the TV.

built-in database.
8
When the component turns off, save the code number you entered
by pressing the SAVE button that appears on the screen.

Repeat steps one through nine for each of your devices. Test all the
commands you’ve programmed. If you are missing any commands,
use the learning method, described next:
Learning Method
The NX-RM610 can learn commands from your old remote controls
one-button-at-a-time on any button of any device, on the MAIN or
FAV LCD buttons or on the MAIN hard buttons, by following these
simple steps:
1
Line-up the NX-RM610 with your old remote control,
head-to-head, one or two inches apart.
2
On the NX-RM610, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons
at the same time for approximately three seconds. The top of the
display will show “SETUP”. You are in SETUP mode now.
Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in
SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button within that time, the
NX-RM610 will time out and return to normal operation.

Press and hold the button you want on your old remote control
until the display changes to either “GOOD” or “FAILED”.
If the “GOOD” label appears on top of the display, you were
successful. Now, press the next button you wish to teach. Keep
repeating steps 6 through 7 until you have learned all the buttons
you want.
If the “FAILED” label appears on top of the display, try to teach the
same button in NX-RM610 once again by repeating steps 6-7.
8
Continue to teach any commands from any of your remote controls
by repeating steps 5-7 (to go back to step five, press MAIN once).
9
Once you completed teaching all the buttons, return to normal
operation by pressing the MAIN button twice. Test all your new
commands. If any of them don’t work, try learning again using
these notes:
Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sunlight, halogen or quartz
lighting can interfere with the learning process.
Although the old remote control seems to work fine, change the
batteries to fresh alkaline batteries.
Vary the distance between the remote controls gradually. Try
1/4”, 1”, 2”and so on, up to 4 feet.
Tap the button on the original remote control instead of pressing
and holding it during the learning process.

Volume Control Punch Through
In most home entertainment systems, the sound volume is only
controlled by one device. In some systems, it is the TV speakers
that make the sound, so you would use the TV device on the
NX-RM610 to raise and lower the volume. In another system, it
might be a surround sound receiver and speakers that control the
sound, so you would use the N-RM610’s AUDIO device to adjust
the volume. Constantly switching the N-RM610 to TV or AUDIO
to adjust the volume is inconvenient in daily life.
You can use Punch Through to set the NX-RM610’s volume buttons
to always control the sound in your system. That way when the
NX-RM610 is set to VCR or DVD, the volume up, down and mute
buttons will work perfectly without switching back to AUDIO or TV.
Here’s how:
1
Enter Setup mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for
three seconds. The top of the display show you are in SETUP mode
now.
Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the
NX-RM610 will time out automatically.
2
Press the PUNCH button.
3
Press the VOL button. The display confirms by displaying “VOL” at
the top of the screen. This sets up the group of three buttons
(Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute) in one action!
The bottom of the display flashes “PUNCH TO”

Press the device button for the device that doesn’t have volume
control commands yet (i. e., DVD). This is the device you are going
to PUNCH TO for the volume and mute commands.
Note: If you wish to PUNCH to the MAIN device, press the
POWER OFF button at this time.
5
The bottom of the display will then flash “PUNCH FROM”. Now you
select the device that has the volume commands you want (i. e., TV
for systems using the TV speakers, AUDIO for systems with
surround sound receivers). The bottom of the display will flash
“SAVED”.
6
Repeat steps 3-5 until all your devices operate the volume perfectly.
Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operating mode and
test your Punch Through settings.
Note: The Punch Through feature is not limited to volume and
can also be applied to channel or other functions. If you find
yourself switching to a particular device frequently to use a group
of controls, consider using Punch Through for another group, as
listed here:
POWER - Power On and Power Off
MENU - Menu, Guide, Info, Exit and the four cursor buttons.
VOL - Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute

making your selection, press the SAVE button.
If you don’t want backlighting at all (this extends battery life), press
the ON button that appears on the screen. The ON will change to
OFF. Press the SAVE button. Exit the setup mode by pressing the

8
Once you’ve finished editing buttons, press the MAIN button four
times to return to normal operation.
Edit the MAIN Menu Title or a MAIN Menu Device Label
You can change the title of the MAIN Menu or a MAIN Menu device
label by following these steps after you’ve entered TEXT Edit mode
(described in the steps one through four in the preceding pages).
1
Once you’ve entered TEXT Edit mode, the top of the screen displays
EDIT and the first ten devices of the MAIN Menu. There are five pages
you can access via the Page UP or DOWN buttons. When the top of
the screen says EDIT, pressing a device button jumps to the pages for
that device so that you can edit a device’s LCD buttons normally.
However, if you continue to tap the Page button, the top of the screen
will change from EDIT to MAIN. While it says MAIN, there are two
pages of LCD buttons. The first two list the Devices of the MAIN Menu
and enable you to change the device names when pressed. The last
page titled MAIN has only one entry for the LCD buttons; “MAIN”.
When you press the corresponding hard button, you can re-label the
MAIN title to the room the NX-RM610 controls.
2
Select the title to edit by pressing the adjacent hard button.
3
Edit the text (described on steps 4 and 5 on page 17).
4
Press the button you edited to save the changes. Here’s an example:
NX-RM610
18
The MAIN Menu title
has been changed to
DEN, MAIN button is
pressed, the user is
reminded that this is
the DEN remote.
Each of the MAIN menu
device buttons has been
custom labeled for the activities the user likes to use in
the DEN. Unused devices
are renamed with spaces
and the pages of the unused
devices are hidden so that
an accidental press of a
blank button does nothing.
