The ZvSync receiver/decoder is
supplied with a partial learning
remote control device. Buttons P1P5 can be programmed to mimic
the functions of a select set of
buttons from another remote
control unit.

experience can be controlled from
a single handset to include power
and volume control of the television
set and all other functions directed
at controlling the ZvSync
receiver/decoder.

1.3.2 Programmable'Buttons'
The upper-left portion of the remote houses a
set of programmable keys. The intent is to
allow for common television functions to be
programmed so the user only needs to use a
single remote control device to manage their
television experience when using the ZvSync
receiver/decoder.
Keys P1 though P5 can be set to any function the user desires. The labeling is
present only to provide visual cues the user may use to help remember which
key has been programmed to which function.
The “SET” key has a fixed function that is not programmable. It initiates the
programming process for setting the P1-P5 key functions.
1.3.2.1 Programming'P1'>'P5'Buttons'
The ZvSync remote has been tested to be compatible with a large number of
remotes. However, some manufacturers use infrared codes that are obscure and
cannot be “copied” into the programmable keys of the ZvSync remote.
