Overview &

Pre-Programmed Code Method

BASIC SETUP

Basic Setup - Overview

There are two ways to program the RF20:

• The Pre-Programmed Code Method

• The Learning Method

The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to set up all the buttons at once, so it’s the fastest and easiest of the two methods. The Learning Method allows you to transfer functions from other remotes (old or new), one button at a time.

Pre-Programmed Code Method

STEP 1:

The pre-programmed 3-digit codes are found in the back of this Manual on page

45. The codes are listed by Component category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), then by brand name. For instance, if you want to locate a code for a Sony TV, first locate the TV category, and then look for the Sony brand.

Once you have located the 3-digit code (or in some cases, several code numbers) for the Component that you want to operate with your RF20, write them ALL down on a piece of note paper. It’s important that you write down all the codes because only one code is going to work for you.

STEP 2:

Now, turn on the Component you want to program... let’s say your TV to start. Look up your TV’s manufacturer setup code from your reference list.

STEP 3:

Press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time for approximately 3 seconds, until the word “SETUP” is displayed at the top of the LCD screen. This signals that you are now in setup mode.

IMPORTANT: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button within 30 seconds, SETUP will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited setup mode and you will need to start over.

STEP 4:

Press the P-PRO display button to select the Pre-Programmed Method.

The screen will then display the five Components from Page 1 of the MAIN menu.

To display Page 2 of the MAIN menu that lists an additional five Components, simply press the PAGE ( ) ( ) buttons.

STEP 5:

Press the Component display button you want to program. For example: If you want to setup the TV Component button, press the TV Component display button. The display at the bottom of the LCD screen will flash “FROM - TABLE”.

STEP 6:

In this step you verify the type of component you plan to operate with this component button. For example: If you plan to operate the TV component with the TV button, simply press the TV display button once again. However, if for example you are setting up AUX to operate a second DVD Player, you would first need to press AUX in Step 5, and then DVD in Step 6.

Pre-Programmed Code Methoda

NOTE:

If the Component fails to turn off after you have entered all the code numbers listed for your brand, you can scan through all the other code numbers that are pre-loaded into the RF20 for that Component (in this case TV) by using the UP or DOWN display buttons on the screen. (There is a chance that your Component was actually manufactured by another brand.) However, most of the code tables are so large that it is usually faster to use the Learning Method on Page 15.

STEP 7:

Point the RF20 toward the Component you want to program, (in this example, TV), and punch in the 3-digit code that you wrote down for that specific Component. Use the Number buttons 0-9 on the remote to punch in the code. If the 3-digit code number that you just punched in is correct, the Component will turn off. If the Component does not turn off, continue entering code numbers from your list until the Component turns off. Somebrands have several possible code numbers.

STEP 8:

When the Component turns off, press the ON button to turn the Component back on. Now you can test the Volume and Channel buttons (for TV), or PLAY and STOP (for VCR and DVD) to make sure they all work. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you need to find a new correct code. For

example, maybe your Sony TV turned off with code number 147, but the volume controls did not work properly. If this is the case, try the next code number listed for that Component until you find a perfect match.

STEP 9:

Once you have found the right code, save the code number by pressing the SAVE display button that appears on the LCD screen. The LCD screen will blink “SAVED” two times, signaling that the code number has been successfully saved.

STEP 10 :

Exit SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button two times. When the LCD screen displays MAIN, you are back in normal operating mode.

NOW, PROGRAM THE REST OF YOUR COMPONENTS BY REPEATING STEPS 1 THROUGH 9. IN MOST SYSTEMS,YOU CAN FINISH BASIC SETUP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES AND PUT ALL YOUR OLD REMOTES AWAY.

IF YOU ARE STILL MISSING COMMANDS TO CONTROL ANY OF YOUR COMPONENTS, USE THE LEARNING METHOD ON PAGE 15.

Learning Method

The RF20 can actually ‘learn’ commands from other remote controls (old or new), one-button-at-a-time, so it will never become obsolete. RF20 is the last remote you’ll ever need! Just follow these simple steps:

STEP 1:

Line-up the RF20 with the other remote control, headto-head, one or two inches apart.

STEP 2:

On the RF20, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time for approximately three seconds, until the word “SETUP” is displayed at the top of the LCD screen. This signals you are now in SETUP mode.

IMPORTANT You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button within 30 seconds, SETUP will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited setup mode and you will need to start over.

STEP 3:

Press the LEARN display button on the LCD screen. The top of the screen will change to “LEARN” and display the five Components from Page 1 of the MAIN menu.

STEP 4:

Select the Component you want to teach commands to by pressing that Component display button on the LCD screen (in this example, TV). The top of the TV screen will change to “TV”.

To display Page 2 of the MAIN menu that lists an additional five Components, simply press the PAGE ( ) ( ) buttons.

NOTE: If you want to teach any command to a Component button, press the desired Component display button once the top of the screen displays “MAIN”, by pressing the PAGE button. The top of the screen wil change to “READY”. Then go to STEP 6.

STEP 5:

Press any button on the RF20 that you want to teach a command to. The top of the screen will change to “READY” and the bottom of the screen will display the button name you pressed.

STEP 6:

Press and hold the button on the other remote control that you want to ‘teach’ to the RF20 until the LCD display on the RF20 changes to either “GOOD” or “FAILD”. If the “GOOD” label appears on top of the display, you were successful. If the “FAILD” label appears on top of the display, try ‘teaching’ thesame button to the RF20 once again by repeating STEPS 5 and 6.

STEP 7:

Now, continue to teach the RF20 any other commands from your other remotes by repeating STEPS 4 through 6 (to go back to STEP 4, simply press MAIN once).

STEP 8:

Once you have completed teaching all the button commands to the RF20, return to normal operation by pressing the MAIN button twice.

• Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sunlight, halogen or quartz lighting can interfere with the learning process.

• Even though the old remote seems to be working fine, put in fresh alkaline batteries.

• Gradually vary the distance between the remote controls. Try 1”, 2” and so on, up to 4 feet.

• Try tapping the button on your old remote instead of pressing and holding it during the learning process.

Some additional Information regarding the Learning Process:

• Learned functions override any existing pre-programmed functions on the remote control.

• All buttons can be learned except for the PAGE, MAIN and LIGHT buttons.

• Learned functions are automatically erased when a new function is learned on the same button.

• Learned functions are retained even after a different Setup Code Number is programmed into the remote.

• To return to an original pre-programmed function, a learned function must be erased.

NOTE: If you don't see the display button you would like to teach on the LCD screen, use the PAGE (

) ( ) buttons. The only buttons you

can't teach are the PAGE and MAIN buttons.

NOTE: Test all your new commands. If any of them don’t work, try the Learning Method again, following these suggestions:

Advanced Macro Options:

SETTING UP A POWER OFF MACRO:

Simply follow the same steps as outlined above, except press the OFF button in place of the ON button.

SETTING A COMPONENT BUTTON AS MACRO:

If you wish to set one of the Component buttons as a macro, in STEP 3, press the Page Up button twice. The top of the display will change to MAIN, and you can navigate to MAIN page 1 or page 2. Press the Component button you want to set as a Macro button. The top of the screen will display the button label you selected.

Then complete and save the Macro by following STEPs 12 and 13 as outlined above.

PROGRAMMING A “PRESS & HOLD” MACRO:

Another option for Component button macros is to only send the macro if the button is pressed and held. This is setup by entering a delay as the first step of the macro. The amount of delay determines how long the user must press the button before the macro is sent. The advantage of this option is that a normal press of the COMPONENT button will simply switch Components without sending the macro command.

SimpleSound™ Setup & Other ‘Punch Throughs’

SimpleSound™ is a dynamic feature that gives you total volume control over all the Components in your system, even those without their own built-in volume control, such as TiVo, DVD and VCR... saving you the hassle and inconvenience of constantly needing to switch between Component modes on the remote. With SimpleSound™, you can set the RF20’s volume control buttons to always control the sound in your system, even when you’re in VCR or DVD mode, without switching back to AUDIO or TV. Even more exciting, SimpleSound™ is what is called a ‘Punch Through’ feature and is not limited strictly to volume control. Click and enjoy!

STEP 1:

In a basic home entertainment system, the sound may come from your TV. In a more advanced system, the sound may come from your audio Component such as a Surround Sound Receiver or Home Theatre system. So, first, you need to identify which Component you want to use in your system for sound.

STEP 2:

Press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time for approximately 3

seconds, until the word “SETUP” is displayed at the top of the LCD screen. This signals that you are now in setup mode.

STEP 3:

Press the PAGE ( ) UP button to display Page 2 of the Setup Menu on the LCD screen. Press the PUNCH display button.

STEP 4:

Then press the VOL (Volume) display button. The screen will display “VOL” at the top. This sets up the group of three buttons (Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute) in one action!

IMPORTANT:You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button within 30 seconds, SETUP will disappear from the screen, signaling that you have exited setup mode and you will need to start over.
