RCU1000B_IB.qxd 10/9/01 11:09 AM Page 10

Code Identification

NOTES FOR AUTOSEARCH, DIRECT CODE ENTRY AND CODE SEARCH

Auto Search

You can automatically scroll through the complete code list for a device by using the Autosearch feature. After you first press CH UP, ON•OFF or PLAY in the Code Search routine, if you don’t press any other keys, about 6 seconds later Autosearch automatically starts and steps through the code list one code after another. The remote sends the next code in the list every 3 seconds. This can take quite some time to go through the entire list to find the code you want but at any time you can press the normal Search keys (CH+, CH-, ON•OFF, and PLAY) to temporarily speed up Autosearch (i.e. manually override) in both forward and reverse directions. If AUX is being displayed then the display alternates between AUX and the Device label you chose (TV, VCR, SAT, etc.) or the power-on default (Cable) at 0.5 second intervals).

For Code Search, if the Device does not have a CH UP key, use the PLAY (VCR only) or the ON•OFF keys instead.

Code Search starts from the currently stored code number under that device. e.g. If the device has 100 codes and the currently stored code is 050 then the Code Search starts from 051 continuing to 100 before looping back to 000 and finishing at 050.

After you install its Code, all Key Labels and any previously learned functions will be reset for any device

Code Search Notes

Pressing and holding any device key in Normal operation shows current code setting for that device.

Learn IR Mode

The Learning feature is used as a supplement to the standard preprogrammed library. The standard code library provides most of the functions needed, but you can add a small number of additional functions of you choice. You can store original remote commands consisting of up to 39 keys for each of the RCU1000B’s 9 Device Modes. Only one original remote type can be stored under any one device.

Tips On Learning

1. Use fresh batteries for both the RCU1000B remote and your original remote(s).

2. Experiment by Learning 2 or 3 keys initially (to ensure compatibility and familiarity) and then carry out the setup routine “

DDeelleettee IIRR……..AALLLL??

” before completely Learning your

original remote’s keyboard.

3. Place the original remote to the rear of the RCU1000B so that the IR LED sensor on the front of the original remote is in line with the RCU1000B’s IR sensor, located near the quick key area. Keep the distance between the two remotes to approximately 2 inches.

4. If commands were learned previously, carry out the setup routine “

DDeelleettee IIRR......AALLLL??

” before

attempting any new Learning.

5. Do not attempt to Learn directly under an incandescent or low-energy light as these can cause interference with the IR transmissions. Keep at least three feet away from any such light sources.

6. When the memory is full, the display shows “

MMeemmoorryy……..FFuullll

” and the visible LED flashes for two seconds. It is not possible to Learn any additional keys without clearing a Device first.

7. When Learning a key, do not release the key being Learned until the display shows “

SSuucccceessss

” followed by “

LLeeaarrnn IIRR......KKeeyy??

”.

8. All Learned commands are saved automatically, there is no “

CCoonnffiirrmm ttoo SSaavvee

” screen.

Deleting An Event Timer

Any set Timer Event is indicated by the symbol (T) displayed above the clock. If no Timer events have been set then this option is not shown in the Setup screens.

Press Any Key Except...

Gather all the remotes that you want to learn and have them all lined up on a flat surface before going into Learn Setup Mode. Place the RCU1000B in front of your existing remotes so that the front of your existing remotes point at the back of the RCU1000B. Make sure that you keep about 2 inches between the remote you are learning from and the RCU1000B.
