Choosing a DeviceChoosing a Device

Before you can program the SUR-35 to operate your TV. VCR etc... you have to create a device screen for each device to use. Once programmed, devices are selected by pressing one of the eight device buttons located at the bottom of the unit. Keep pressing a button to cycle through the devices available with that button.

Each device button is capable of storing from 0 to 10 devices. For example, you may have two TVs stored in the TV button and three VCRs stored in the VCR button, while having nothing stored in the AUX button. The unit is capable of storing a total of sixteen devices using any combination of the 8 device buttons.

The display window in the upper right hand corner of the unit shows the name of the device or its “label”. If there is no device programmed for that button, it will display “EMPT” meaning empty.

When you create a new device you give it a name or “label”. After creating a device, you will be able to enter a pre-programmed code, “teach” an existing remote or customize the control layout to suit your needs. There are two ways to do this based on what starting point you want to work from:

• Create new Device: Use this method for setting up a new device.

• Modify Existing Device: Use this if you are having a problem with an already setup device and want to make a change or enhancement.

There are two methods you can use to program infrared

codes into the SUR-35:

• Using Manufacturer Codes: Use this method to automatically configure all buttons on the SUR-35 for use with a specific manufacturer’s model number. This feature is the fastest way to program the SUR-35 but requires that your device be located in the Manufacturer Code Tables . (Some newer or less common devices may not be preprogrammed and must be learned using the Learning Function.)

SUR-35 User Manual

4. Select a device using the device buttons on the SUR-35.

For this example press the TV button.

5. On the Touch Screen select one of the buttons to assign the macro to.

You will hear three beeps. Note: If you select a key that already has a macro assigned to it you will replace the old macro.

MacrosMacros

MacrosMacros

• Using the Learning Function: Use this method to directly learn the proper infrared signals from another remote control. The learning eye of the SUR-35 will learn the proper signals to send. This method is perfect for newer or less common devices or if a certain button still not does perform the desired function after using pre-programmed manufacturer codes. However, in rare cases, the SUR-35 may not be able to copy the codes from another remote and it may be necessary to collect unrecognized codes and send them to Sima. (See Collecting Unrecognized Infrared Codes in Chapter 3.)

Using Pre-programmed Manufacturer Codes

The SUR-35 is pre-programmed with many manufacturers’ codes to operate a wide range of TVs, VCRs, DVDs etc… These are useful if you have lost the original remote. However, because of the great variety and number of remotes on the market, not all functions may work when using the pre-programmed codes. If you have the original remote, it is recommended you teach the SUR35 the functions most important to you. (See Using the

Learning Function.)

Note: Some codes are designed to operate more than one model. It may take several tries to find the code that works with your unit.

To program a manufacturer’s code for a device, follow these steps:

Press and hold the SETUP button on the Touch Screen for 3 seconds.

Press each number button (2, 4, 6, 8) until it disappears. Use the arrow buttons on the Touch Screen to select CODE and then press the OK button.

3. Use the arrow buttons on the Touch Screen to select KEY and then press the OK button.

Introduction to MacrosIntroduction to Macros

A macro is simply a series of commands. The MACRO feature enables you to initiate a sequence of up to 60 commands with a single button. You can create a macro on any control button and also insert time delays into the sequence. Remember, however, assigning a macro eliminates the button’s original function. You cannot assign a macro to any of the 8 Device keys, the Page/Date key, the Backlight/ Sleep key, the three functions keys (SETUP, DELETE, MACRO), or the five Quick Channel Classification keys.

Creating a Macro Sequence

The following example will help you to better understand the creating a macro sequence. It is provided to teach you how to record a macro but by no means is it the only macro sequence you can create. You can create macros using any sequence of commands you desire.

The following macro will:

1. Turn the TV on.

2. Switch the TV to video mode.

3. Turn the DVD on.

4. Create a two-second delay.

5. Instruct the DVD to play a disc.

Using the Learning Function

If you have the original remote, the SUR-35 has the ability to directly learn infrared codes.

Before Using the Learning Function

Before you start using the SUR-35’s learning function, please heed the following precautions:

• Teach only one remote for each device . For example, don’t assign some of the buttons on the TV device screen to operate a TV in the living room, while assigning others to operate a different model TV in the bedroom. Each device button is capable of storing up to ten separate devices. Create a second device to teach a second TV.

• To change from a device that has already been programmed, delete all of the commands for the first device before teaching new ones. For example, to operate the living room TV instead of the bedroom TV, delete all commands for the bedroom TV first. (See the Deleting a Device section.) Then re-configure the TV device screen for the living room TV.

• When using the learning function, you must press each button within 2 minutes of pressing the last button. Otherwise, the SUR-35 will exit the learning mode and return to its normal operation mode.

• A very small number of infrared codes are not learnable by the SUR-35. You may need to first collect the codes (see Collecting Unrecognized Infrared Codes for more information) and then email them to Sima.

Chapter 4 – Controlling Devices

The SUR-35 is designed to be simple and straightforward to operate. This chapter explains how to use the SUR-35 to control all your devices. This Chapter assumes you have already setup the SUR-35 and assigned Infrared codes to different buttons. See Chapter 3 – Setting Up the SUR-35 to Control a Device for more information on assigning codes.
