USING LEARNING
The One For All 8L Universal Remote
Control with Learning (URC-8820 B00)
includes a Learning feature so you can add
functions that are unique to your home
entertainment devices (e.g., DVD EJECT).
However, there are some considerations.
LEARNING PRECAUTIONS
• Your original remote controls must be
in working order for learning to work
properly.
• Learned 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” on page 9).
• Do not use the following keys for
learning: Device Keys, SETUP, FAV, or
Record (•) Key.
• Learning capacity is approximately 50
to 70 keys, depending on the code
being learned.
• If both learned and keymoved
functions are assigned to the same key,
the last programmed function is
stored.
• A learned function cannot be used as a
source for Keymover (see “Using
Keymover” on page 14).
• Certain device codes are not learnable
including multi-frequency types, some
12 Programming Favorite Channel Scan
OWNER’S MANUAL
high frequency ones, and other
unusual formats.
