Chapter 2 Quick start

This chapter provides you with the information to
quickly start using the SRC-1600.

Installing batteries

The SRC-1600 requires four AAA alkaline batteries
(not included). You must insert the batteries
before you can operate the SRC-1600.

1. Turn the remote
over, gently press
the cover in and
open in the
direction of the
two arrows by your
thumbs, according
to the illustration.

2. Insert the batteries,
observing correct
polarity.

3. Insert the tabs into
place and push the
cover closed.

Installing batteries

Battery Indicator

A battery icon is displayed in the upper left-hand
corner above the Mute button.

When the batteries are almost discharged, the
battery low icon appears.

Battery Tips and Precautions

• Pay attention to the batteries when the
battery half full icon appears and replace
batteries if needed.

• The SRC-1600 does not lose programmed
data when batteries are replaced.

• Always use fresh batteries. Alkaline batteries
are recommended. Do not mix different
types of batteries.

• Do not expose the batteries to excessive
heat or naked flame.

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

• Weak batteries reduce the effective

distance of the unit.

• Remove the batteries if the SRC-1600 will
not be used for a long period.

• To reduce danger of leakage, remove
batteries that are more than two years old.

Using preset codes

This is the fastest way to program the SRC-1600
but requires that your device be located in the
Pre-programmed Code List that was bundled
with the SRC-1600. The SRC-1600 comes pre­programmed with a list of preset codes. Check
the supplied code list to see if your device is
supported. Some newer or less common devices
may not be pre-programmed and their codes
must be learned using the learning function of
the SRC-1600. See Manually setting preset codes
on page 13.

12

Using preset codes

Manually setting preset codes

4. Find the digit code number
from the pre-programmed
code list.

5. Use the number buttons to
enter the four digit code.
(Refer to the pre-programmed
code list table.)After you enter
the last digit, a double beep
sounds, confirming the code
has been input. If the number isn’t in the code
data base, the SRC-1600 will beep three times
continuously. Please try another number.

2. While holding the device
button, press and hold the
“1” button. The first digit of
the IR code number displays.

You can write the code
number down in order to
program it next time.

3. Repeat this by pressing 2, 3,
and 4 for the second, third
and forth digits of the code
number.

your existing remote control until the SRC-1600
LED lights.

If the function is not learned correctly, the LED
flashes three times and the SRC-1600 emits a
triple beep. Do the relearning procedure
again.

8. When the code has been learned, the
SRC-1600 emits a beep and the LED on the

function it beeps once and the LED lights up
until you release the remote control’s button.

Deleting codes

You can delete codes if you no longer want to
use the function or if you want to reprogram a
button. You can delete codes one button at a
time or an entire device at a time.

NOTES:

• Deleting codes does not remove the button

from the layout.

• You do not need to delete a code to

reprogram a button. You can overwrite codes
by automatically or manually entering preset
codes or by learning from an existing remote
control.
