7. Programming Remotes For Use With Hydra

First, you must program your remotes for use with your Hydra. The Hydra comes with 3 URC remotes. Each remote can be programmed for use with a different TV/Room. (Refer to the Hydra User’s Guide for more information on in-home configurations.)



Press and hold the “OK“ button on the Hydra front panel for about 5 seconds. When the “OK” button is released, the Hydra front panel Standby/On LED blinks twice (alternates red and green), then stays lit red to indicate that the Hydra is now in remote registration mode.



Identify the remote control, which is labeled with a number 1, 2, or 3 on the battery cover plate on the bottom of the remote, as shown below:



Press and hold the “STB” button on the remote control for about 4 to 5 seconds. The “STB” button backlight LED will light to indicate that the remote control is in registration mode.



Use the number keys to send the registration event:

• Press “1” to send the “Register remote control to Decoder 1” event for Remote #1.

• Press “2” to send the “Register remote control to Decoder 2” event for Remote #2.



If you press a key other than "0", "1", "2" or "3", or if you do not press a button within about 10 seconds, the STB button backlight LED will turn off, and the remote control registration process terminates.

After you enter a registration event, the “STB” button backlight LED on the remote control and the Hydra front panel LED will blink twice to indicate that the registration process was successful.



Repeat the steps above for each remote control. You can register at most 3 remote controls for each decoder. Each remote control can only be registered for one decoder.

8. Manually Program Additional Devices

Perform the following steps to program the TV and AUX device:



Locate the device code for your desired device in the device code table provided in the Appendix. If you could not find the device code for your device or it does not work after trying the listed device codes for your device brand, then you can go to the next section to try the auto-search procedures.



Turn on your device and with media inserted (if applicable).



On the remote control, press a device mode key once (i.e., “TV” or “AUX”). NOTE: Use the “AUX” mode key to program control of VCR, DVD player, cable box, satellite set-top-box and audio device.



Press and hold the “SETUP” key until the selected mode key backlight blinks twice, then release “SETUP”. The device mode key will light up.





Aim the remote control at your device and press the “POWER” once. The device should be turned off. If it does not respond, repeat the above steps.

9. Auto-Scan (Program Additional Devices)









In this search mode, the remote control will send IR codes from the library in 5-second intervals. The device key will be on and blink every 5 seconds while in the device scan mode.



If the device turns off, a working code has been found. Press “OK” once to lock in the code. The selected mode key will blink twice.



If all code sets of that device are exhausted in the search and the “OK” is not pressed, the selected device key will fast blink 7 times and the search mode will be terminated.
