You program the RC commands (RC for Remote Control) by
transmitting infrared signals from your existing remote controls to
the RC5000i’s learning eye. To do
this, place the RC5000i and the
device’s remote control on a flat
surface, 1 to 100cm (1/2 to 36
inches) apart.
With each new remote control,
you have to find the correct
learning distance.
It is best to be systematic and
teach all of the buttons from one
remote control before proceeding
to the next.
Here are some tips.
Start with the controls close
together; if you receive a FAIL,
move them farther apart in one
inch increments. Although
rare, some component remotes require a very large distance
between the sending LED and the RC5000i’s learning eye.
Test the first command from any new remote control to find the
correct learning distance. Once you have found the correct
learning distance, do not change it for any other button on that
particular remote control.
Most commands learn correctly when you press and hold them
until the OK indicator appears. However, sometimes the
RC5000i will say OK, yet the command will not operate the
component properly. If this occurs, try re-teaching the command
with a brief tap. After a short delay the OK indicator will appear.
Test the code. If this improves operation, continue to use the
Tap technique for all other buttons on the remote. The only
buttons that you MUST use the press and hold technique for are
buttons that you will press and hold when you are operating the
component (i.e. volume, scan, etc.).
The following buttons can be programmed: control panel
