Learning Codes from a Remote
The HS 150 remote is able to “learn” codes from
other remote controls that might be part of your
system setup, like the one from your TV. To learn
or transfer codes from an IR remote to the HS’s
remote, follow these steps:
1. Place the front of the original remote with the
code being sent so that it is facing the IR
Transmitter Window
c
on the HS remote
“head-to-head.”The remotes should be between
2 and 4cm apart.
2. Select the button on the remote that you wish
to use as the device selector for the codes about
to be entered. This must be any of the Input
Selectors
0
.
3. Press the Input Selector
0
button chosen
and the Learn Button
W
at the same time. Hold
these buttons until the Program Indicator
d
flashes amber and the light under the device
selector button turns red. Release the buttons. It
is important that you begin the next step within
20 seconds.
4. Press the button on the HS remote that you
wish to program. Note that the Program
Indicator
d
will stop flashing.
Important Note: Codes cannot be taught to all
buttons on the remote. In these cases the
Program Indicator
d
keeps flashing after the
button was released.
5. As long as the Program Indicator
d
is on
steadily (for five seconds), press and hold the but-
ton on the original remote that you wish to
“teach” into the HS remote. If you pressed the
button too late or no command was received
within five seconds, the Program Indicator
d
will flash red three times and then amber, then
simply repeat step four. When the Program
Indicator
d
turns green, release the button on
the original remote. Note that the Program
Indicator will then begin to flash amber again.
NOTE: If the Program Indicator
d
turns red
steadily during Step 5, the programming was not
successful. Repeat the steps to see if the code will
“take.”If the indicator keeps flashing red in step
5, this code cannot be taught.
6. Repeat steps 4 though 5 for each button on
the source remote that you wish to transfer to the
HS remote.
7. Once all codes have been transferred from the
original source remote to the HS remote, press the
Learn button
W
. This will turn off all LEDs and
turn off the learning mode.
8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any additional
remotes you wish to “teach” into the HS Remote.
Erasing Learned Codes
The HS’s remote allows you to remove or erase the
code learned into a single button for a single
device, to remove or erase all the codes that have
been learned for a single device, or to erase all
commands that have been learned to all devices.
To erase a single learned code from within
a single device’s settings, follow these
steps:
1. Press and hold both the Input Selector
0
within which the individual button to be erased has
been programmed and the Learn button
W
.
2. When the red LED under the Input Selector
turns red and the Program Indicator
d
flash-
es amber, release the buttons.
3. Press and release the Input Selector
0
again for the device within which the individual
button to be erased has been programmed.
4. Press the 7 button
R
three times.
5. Press and release the individual button for which
the code is to be erased. The Program Indicator
d
will blink green two times and then return to
amber.
6. To erase other buttons within the same device,
press them as noted in Step 5.
7. When all buttons to be erased have been
pressed, press the Learn button
W
to complete
the process.
To erase all codes within a single device,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold both the Input Selector
0
for
which you wish to erase the codes and the Learn

.
2. When the red LED under the Input Selector
turns red and the Program Indicator

will turn off,
the red light under the Input Selector will flash
on and off once and the Program/SPL Indicator

will flash green three times to indicate that
the codes have been erased.
To erase all codes that have been
programmed to all devices in the remote,
follow these steps:
1. Press any Input Selector
0
and also the
Learn button
W
.
2. When the red LED under the Input Selector
turns red and the Program/SPL Indicator
d
flashes amber, release the buttons.

Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used
combinations of commands with the press of a sin-
gle button on the HS’s remote control. Once pro-
grammed, a macro will send out up to 19 different
remote codes in a pre-determined sequential order
enabling you to automate the process of turning
on your system, changing devices, or other com-
mon tasks. The HS’s remote can store up to four
separate macro command sequences, that are
accessed by pressing the Macro buttons
K
.
1. To start programming a macro, press the Mute
button
A
and the Macro button
K
to be pro-
grammed at the same time. Note that the latest
selected Input Selector will light red, and the
Program Indicator
d
will flash amber.
2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command step.
Although the macro may contain up to
19 steps, each button press, including those used
to change devices, counts as a step.
The Program Indicator
d
will flash green
twice to confirm each button press as you enter
commands.
NOTE: While entering commands for Power On of
any device during a macro sequence, press the
Mute button
A
. DO NOT press the Power ON
button
0
.
• Remember to press the appropriate Input
Selector button
0
before functions are
changed to another device.
3. When all the steps have been entered, press
the
MNKL
button
9
to enter the com-
mands. The red light under the Input Selector
0
will blink and then turn off and the
Program Indicator
d
will flash green twice
to confirm the macro to be programmed.
