BASIC SETUP
Pre-Programmed Code Method
STEP 1:
The pre-programmed 3-digit
codes are found in the back of
this Manual on page 44. 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.
Pre-Programmed Code Method
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.
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 disap-
pear from the screen, signaling that
you have exited setup mode and you
will need to start over.

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.
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”.
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

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. Some
brands 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.

signaling that the code number
has been successfully saved.
STEP 10:
Exit SETUP mode by pressing

screen. This signals you are
now in SETUP mode.
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.
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 disap-
pear from the screen, signaling that
you have exited setup mode and you
will need to start over.
NOTE: If you want to teach any command
to a Component button, press the

you were successful. If the
“FAILD” label appears on top
of the display, try ‘teaching’ the
same 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

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

Component and Page that has a button you want in your
Macro using the MAIN, Component and Page buttons.
Simply press the button(s) with the command(s) you want
in your Macro. 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

‘Barrier -Free’ RF control
THE POWER BLASTER
THE POWER BLASTER
The Optional PowerBlasterTM
(for ‘barrier-free’ RF control)
[Sold separately]
Of all the fabulous RF20 features, this is probably the most
exciting. When used in combination with the optional
PowerBlasterTM, the RF20 becomes an amazing remote
control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio
Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and
floors - both indoors and outdoors.
This changes everything! It enables you to control
Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’
away. The PowerBlasterTM picks up RF20’s radio frequency
signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF20
doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any Component. Just
imagine - no more pointing! Now you can close your
entertainment center doors, hide your Components, and
still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on
your patio. Control your Components anywhere!
One of the best things about this is -- nothing has to be
done to the RF20 for this feature to work.
Every time you press a button on the RF20, it sends both a
standard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Fre-
quency) signal. If you install the PowerBlasterTM kit, it will
automatically receive RF20’s radio signals and translate them
into the infrared commands that control your Components.
The RF20 sends radio signal to the PowerBlasterTM, which
is a radio receiver
The PowerBlasterTM converts radio signals to standard
infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front
blaster to Components in the same cabinet space.
Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the PowerBlasterTM
kit) affix to the front panels of your Components. The
flashers relay infrared commands to Components out-of-
sight of the PowerBlaster’s front blaster. The flashers plug
into PowerBlaster’s rear flasher line output jacks. Each
flasher has a 10’ cable to easily reach Components on
nearby shelves.
NOTE: The RF20's radio signals will not control Components
directly. You must have a PowerBlaster
TM
to receive the
RF20's radio signals. Components that came with "no point-
ing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the RF20
unless the Component can be switched to standard IR
(Infrared Control) via its internal menus. Some remote con-
trol ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by
the RF20.

The RF20’s Pre-Programmed code library is divided into
categories (TV, VCR, AUX, etc.). Each category actually
includes many types of Components. For example, the VCR
category includes TV/VCR combo units.
Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by
brand (Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more
than one three digit code for you to try. Just circle the correct
row and refer to it while you setup (step by step instructions
for using Pre-Programmed codes are found on page 7).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a “macro” button?
A “macro” is a button on the RF20 that you setup to make
a lot of things happen when you press it. For example, to
watch a DVD in most home theaters requires several
remote controls and many button presses (power up the
TV, power up the surround sound, power up the DVD
player, set the TV to the correct video input, set the
surround sound to the correct audio input and finally;
press play on the DVD player remote control).
Instead of pressing all of those buttons one at a time, the
RF20 enables you to setup one button that does all those
steps automatically with one press. For more
information on how and why you should setup macro
buttons, watch the Quick Setup DVD Program Guide or
refer to pages 26-29 in this Manual.
If the batteries run out, will I lose my settings?
No. The RF20 stores all of your settings in non-volatile
FLASH memory. You could remove the batteries for
months, replace them at your convenience, and the RF20
would still remember your settings.
Who can I call for more answers?
The Universal Remote Control Technical Support and
Customer Service staff are ready to answer any questions
you might have.
