Using Learning
The SRC-C5 includes a Learning feature so you can add functions that are unique
to your home entertainment devices (e.g., VCR Tracking Up or Down). The following
precautions apply:
The original remote control must be in working order and available for learning to •
work properly.
Learned keys are mode specic, so each one can store a unique function for each •
mode.
Do not use the following keys for learning: Device Keys, SET, Back, or Record.•
Learning capacity is approximately 40 to 100 keys, depending on the code being •
learned.
Certain device codes are not learnable including multi-frequency types, some high •
frequency ones, and other unusual formats.
For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light such as natural sunlight or •
energy-ecient uorescent lights.
