BASIC SETUP

STEP 1:

The pre-programmed 3-digit

codes are found in the back of

this Manual on page 44. The

codes are listed by Component

category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD,

etc.), then by brand name. For

instance, if you want to locate

a code for a Sony TV, first

locate the TV category, and

then look for the Sony brand.

Once you have located the

3-digit code (or in some cases,

several code numbers) for the

Component that you want to

operate with your RF30, write

them ALL down on a piece of

note paper. It’s important that

you write down all the codes

because only one code is going

to work for you.

STEP 2:

Now, turn on the Component

you want to program... let’s say

your TV to start. Look up your

TV’s manufacturer setup code

from your reference list.

STEP 3:

Press and hold the MAIN and ENT

(Enter) buttons at the same time

for approximately 3 seconds, until

the word “SETUP” is displayed at

the top of the LCD touch screen.

This signals that you are now in

setup mode.

Pre-Programmed Code Method

Basic Setup - Overview

There are two ways to program the RF30:

• The Pre-Programmed Code Method

• The Learning Method

The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to set up

all the buttons at once, so it’s the fastest and easiest of

the two methods. The Learning Method allows you to

transfer functions from other remotes (old or new), one

button at a time.

IMPORTANT:

You now have 30 seconds to perform

the next step while you are in SETUP

mode. If you don’t press a button

within 30 seconds, SETUP will disap-

pear from the screen, signaling that

you have exited setup mode and you

will need to start over.

STEP 4:

Press the P-PRO button to select

the Pre-Programmed Method.

The screen will then display the

seven Components (and FAV) on

Page 1 of the MAIN menu.

To display Page 2 of the MAIN

menu that lists an additional

eight Components, simply press

the (

or ) Page buttons at the

bottom of the screen.

STEP 5:

Press the Component button

you want to program. For

example: If you want to setup

the TV Component button,

press the TV Component but-

ton. The display at the bottom

of the LCD screen will flash

“FROM - TABLE”.

STEP 6:

In this step you verify the type

of component you plan to

operate with this component

button. For example: If you plan

to operate the TV component

with the TV button, simply press

the TV button once again.

However, if for example you are

setting up AUX to operate a

second DVD Player, you would

first need to press AUX in Step

5, and then DVD in Step 6.

STEP 7:

Point the RF30 toward the

Component you want to

program, (in this example, TV),

and punch in the 3-digit code

that you wrote down for that

specific Component. Use the

Number buttons 0-9 on the

remote to punch in the code.

If the 3-digit code number that

you just punched in is correct,

the Component will turn off. If

the Component does not turn

off, continue entering code

numbers from your list until the

Component turns off. Some

brands have several possible

code numbers.

STEP 8:

When the Component turns off,

press the ON button to turn the

Component back on. Now you

can test the Volume and

Channel buttons (for TV), or

PLAY and STOP (for VCR and

DVD) to make sure they all

work. If any of the buttons do

not work properly, you need to

find a new correct code. For

example, maybe your Sony TV

turned off with code number 147,

but the volume controls did not

work properly. If this is the case,

try the next code number listed

for that Component until you find

a perfect match.

NOTE:

If the Component fails to turn off after you have entered

all the code numbers listed for your brand, you can scan

through all the other code numbers that are pre-loaded

into the RF30 for that Component (in this case TV) by

using the UP or DOWN buttons on the screen. (There is

a chance that your Component was actually manufactured

by another brand.) However, most of the code tables are

so large that it is usually faster to use the Learning Method

on Page 15.

STEP 9:

Once you have found the right

code, save the code number by

pressing the SAVE button that

appears on the LCD screen.

The LCD screen will blink

“SAVED” two times, signaling

that the code number has been

successfully saved.

STEP 10:

Exit SETUP mode by pressing

the MAIN button two times.

When the LCD screen displays

MAIN, you are back in normal

operating mode.

STEP 2:

On the RF30, press and hold the

MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons

at the same time for approxi-

mately three seconds, until the

word “SETUP” is displayed at

the top of the LCD touch screen.

This signals you are now in

SETUP mode.

STEP 3:

Press the LEARN button on the

LCD screen. The top of the

and display the seven

Components (and FAV) from

Page 1 of the MAIN menu.

To display Page 2 of the MAIN

menu that lists an additional

eight Components, simply press

the (

or ) Page buttons at the

bottom of the screen.

STEP 4:

Select the Component you want

to teach commands to by

pressing that Component button

on the LCD screen (in this

example, TV). The top of the

screen will change to “TV”.

IMPORTANT:

You now have 30 seconds to perform

the next step while you are in SETUP

mode. If you don’t press a button

within 30 seconds, SETUP will disap-

pear from the screen, signaling that

you have exited setup mode and you

will need to start over.

NOTE: If you want to teach any com-

mand to a Component button, press the

Component button once the top of the

screen displays “MAIN”, by pressing the

PAGE button. The top of the screen will

change to "READY". Then go to STEP 6.

The RF30 can actually ‘learn’ commands from other remote

controls (old or new), one-button-at-a-time, so it will never

become obsolete. RF30 is the last remote you’ll ever need!

Just follow these simple steps:

STEP 5:

Press any button on the RF30

that you want to teach a

command to. The top of the

screen will change to "READY"

and the bottom of the screen will

display the button you pressed.

STEP 6:

Press and hold the button on the

other remote control that you

want to ‘teach’ to the RF30 until

the LCD display on the RF30

changes to either “GOOD” or

“FAILD”. If the “GOOD” label

appears on top of the display

and “SAVED” flashes on the bot-

tom, you were successful. If

the “FAILD” label appears on

top of the display, try ‘teaching’

the same button to the RF30

once again by repeating STEPS

5 and 6.

STEP 7:

Now, continue to teach the RF30

any other commands from your

old remotes by repeating STEPS

4 through 6 (to go back to STEP

4, simply press MAIN once).

STEP 8:

Once you have completed

teaching all the button

commands to the RF30, return to

normal operation by pressing the

MAIN button twice.

Test all your new commands. If

any of them don’t work, try the

Learning Method again, follow-

ing these suggestions:

• Move to another room. Plasma

TVs, sunlight, halogen or quartz

lighting can interfere with the

learning process.

• Even though the old remote

seems to be working fine, put in

fresh alkaline batteries.

• Gradually vary the distance

between the remote controls.

Try 1”, 2” and so on, up to

4 feet.

• Try tapping the button on your

old remote instead of pressing

and holding it during the

learning process.

Some additional Information

regarding the Learning Process:

• Learned functions override any

existing pre-programmed

functions on the remote control.

• All buttons can be learned

except for the PAGE, MAIN and

LIGHT buttons.

• Learned functions are

automatically erased when a

new function is learned on the

same button.

• Learned functions are retained

even after a different Setup

Code Number is programmed

into the remote.

• To return to an original pre-

programmed function, a learned

function must be erased.

NOTE: If you don’t see the display button

you would like to teach on the LCD

screen, use the (

or ) PAGE buttons at

the bottom of the screen.The only

buttons you can’t teach are the PAGE and

MAIN buttons.
