4The CustomizerSelecting a New DEVICE Changes All Button Commands InstantlyThe Customizer can operate fifteen different deviceseven though it is only one remote control. Let’s try itnow! Press the MAIN button, then touch the TV Devicebutton by clicking your fingernail on the screen at TV.The TITLE changes to TV. Now all of the buttons arededicated to TV functions. If you press the PAGE but-tons, you can see that the TV DEVICE has a total of fourpages. If you go back to the MAIN Menu by pressingthe MAIN button, then select any of the other fifteenDEVICES, each of which contains four pages total.In the next few pages, you’ll set up the Customizer tocontrol all the devices in your home theater system!Light ButtonThe LIGHT button will backlight all of the buttons.Pressing it again will turn off the light, or just wait tenseconds (the backlighting automatically shuts itself off).TVDEVICEButtonLIGHTButton
5URC-300Basic Set UpYou can set up your Customizer using either the learningor the pre-programmed method. Because all the buttonsare set up in one quick operation rather than one buttonat a time, we recommend you start with pre-programmedsetup before you do any learning.Pre-Programmed Standard MethodTurn on the component you wish to program (TV,VCR, DVD, etc.)Look up the code table shown on pages xx - xx andtake note of the three digit codes listed for yourcomponent and brand.Press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttonsat the same time for approximately three seconds.The top of the display screen will show “SET UP”.You are in SET UP mode now.Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are inSET UP mode. If you don’t press a buton within that time, theCustomizer will time out and return to normal operation.MAINButtonENTButton123
Press the P-PRO button to select thePre-Programmed Code method.The display will show a list of the first seven devices. Move the blinking cursor to the device you wishto program by using the cursor UP or cursorDOWN button shown below, then press SELECT. For Example: If you want to program your TV,make “TV” blink by pressing the cursor up ordown, then press the SELECT button.P-PROButtonPress either of the Page buttons ( ) to displaythe second list of eight devices.FirstSevenDevices6The Customizer456UPSELECTDOWN
7URC-300The bottom of the display should now be flashingFROM TABLE. This prompts you to select theCODE TABLE via the Cursor and SELECT buttons. For Example: Let’s pretend you are programming aTV. You would find the the three digit codes forTelevisions in the TV CODE TABLE. So you wouldpress the cursor buttons until “TV” is flashing,then press the SELECT button. This selects the TVCODE TABLE. Now you are ready to test codes!Point the remote control at the component, thenenter the first three digit code number from yournotes using the numbered buttons. Continue toenter codes until the component powers off. For Example: Let’s pretend you have a Sony TV. Youwould find the the three digit codes 070, 139,147,126, 185, 194 and 085 under Sony in the TV CODETABLE. Using the numbered buttons on theCustomizer, enter the 070 and watch the TV. If it doesn’t turn off, enter 139, then try 147 and so on.Note: If none of the codes turn off the component, youshould try the Scan Method (see page 9).78UPSELECTEnter theCode viatheNumberedButtonsDOWN
When the component turns off, save the codenumber you entered by pressing the SAVE buttonthat appears on the touch screen. Exit SET UP mode by pressing the MAIN buttontwo times. When the display shows “MAIN”, youare back in normal operating mode. Now it’s timeto test the all the buttons. If some buttons don’twork, try another three digit code to see if it givesbetter operation.For Example: My Sony TV powers off with code139. However after trying 139, not all buttonswork. I repeated steps 1 to 10 trying other codesets and eventually discovered that the 185 codeset operates ALL my buttons.Repeat steps one through ten for each of yourdevices. In most systems, you can finish basicprogramming in just a few minutes and put allyour old remote controls away. Once you are finished all of the devices, you can move on topage13 to set up your volume control.If you can’t find any code that powers off a com-ponent, try the Scan method on the next page. Ifyou are missing one or two commands, use theLearning method on page 10. SAVEButtonCode YouEntered8The Customizer10119
9URC-300Pre-Programmed Scan MethodIf none of the codes listed for your brand in the CodeTable powered off your component, you can scan theentire Code Table for a working code set. Often a codeset for another brand will operate a device (somebrands contract manufacture for other brands). Here’show to scan an entire Code Table:Put the Customizer in Setup Mode andselect P-PRO, then the Device you’d liketo program, then the Code Table you want toscan. This is described in steps one through eightof the Standard Method on the past few pages.When you see the P-PRO display shown below(we used TV as an example), use the UP orDOWN buttons instead of entering the three-digitcode. You’ll see the code number on the displaychange as you press the either UP or the DOWNbutton. Each time the number changes, you’vetested another power off command.Watch your component. When it powers off,press the SAVE button to save the code you test-ed. Press the MAIN button twice to return to nor-mal operating mode and test all the buttons.

Now, you can select another button to teach.If the “FAILED” label appears on top of the displayscreen, try to teach the same button in Customizeronce again by repeating steps six and seven. Continue to teach any commands from any of yourremote controls by repeating steps five, six andseven (to go back to step 5, press MAIN once).Once you completed teaching all the buttons youwish, return to normal operation by pressing theMAIN button twice. Test all your new commands, ifany of them don’t work, try learning again usingthese notes:789Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sunlight, halogen orquartz lighting can interfere with the learning process.Although the old remote control seems to work fine,change the batteries to fresh alkaline batteries.Vary the distance between the remote controls gradually. Try 1/4”, 1”, 2”and so on, up to 4 feet.Tap the button on the original remote control instead ofpressing and holding it during the learning process.
13URC-300Punch Through Volume ControlThe one feature that will really make life easy for youand your family is Punch Through. It’s worth setting upright away! In most home entertainment systems, thesound volume is controlled by only one device. Insome systems it is the TV device that controls thesound; in others it would be the AUDIO device (for theA/V surround sound receiver). Now, imagine you are watching a DVD, so theAutomator is set to operate the DVD. If you want tolower the volume you have to press MAIN, then thedevice that controls the sound (TV or AUDIO), then theVolume Down button. After you adjust the volume,you would have to press MAIN, then the DVD Devicebutton to get back to your DVD controls! This is very inconvenient. You can fix this very quicklyby using Punch Through.Punch Through Volume Control Set UpEnter Set Up mode by pressing MAIN and ENT,then select PUNCH from the Set Up menu. Youhave 30 seconds as usual.The display changes to “PUNCH”. Press VOL toprogram Volume Punch Through.1SelectVolumetoPunchThrough2
14The CustomizerThe bottom of the display flashes ”PUNCH TO”.Press the device button for the device that doesn’thave volume control commands yet (i.e. DVD).This is the device you are going to PUNCH TO forthe volume and mute commands.Note: If you wish to PUNCH to the MAIN device, press thePOWER OFF button at this time.The bottom of the display will then flash “PUNCHFROM”. Now you select the device that has thevolume commands you want. The bottom of thedisplay will flash “SAVED”.Repeat steps 1-3 until all your devices operate thevolume perfectly. Press the MAIN button twice toreturn to normal operating mode and test yourpunch through programming.Note: The Punch Through feature is not limited to volumeand can also be applied to channel or other functions. If youfind yourself switching to a particular device frequently to usea group of controls, consider using Punch Through for anoth-er group, as listed here:VOL - Volume Up, Volume Down and MuteCH - Channel Up, Channel Down and Prev.

Macro Button Set UpImagine pressing just one button but watching your TVturn on, then the DVD player and then the A/V surroundsound receiver. What would normally take three remotesand three button pushes, the Customizer can accomplishwith just one button. We call that a “Macro”. Anylabeled button, the Power On or the Power Off buttons(on any Device or Page) can be Macro buttons! To set up a macro button, follow these easy steps:Enter the SET UP mode by pressing and holdingMAIN and ENT. As usual, you have 30 seconds.Press the MACRO button. The top of the display screen will show “MACRO”.The bottom of the display screen will flash“SELECT”. Navigate to the Device and Page where there is abutton you would like to set as a Macro buttonusing the MAIN, DEVICE and PAGE buttuns. Note: There is a trick to navigating to the MAIN menu so thatyou can choose to make one of your DEVICE buttons a macrobutton (or the MAIN menu Power On or Power Off buttons).The trick is that you must press one of the Page buttons twicewhen you get to step 3. The top of the display changes toMAIN, and you can navigate to MAIN Menu page 1 or page 2before going on to Step 4. 20The Customizer12MACROButton3

30The CustomizerExpanding With the ExpanderThe Customizer alone operates just like your otherremote controls. It transmits very powerful line-of-sightoutput using standard IR (infrared light - invisible to thenaked eye) as well as RF (radio frequency) signals. Typically, the Customizer will allow you a range ofbetween 30 and 50 feet when it is pointed at the components. When the remote is not pointed in thegeneral direction of the components, the range willvary (depending on reflective surfaces, lighting, etc.). By purchasing the optional EXPANDER RF receiver kit(MRF-100), you can operate your equipment with theCustomizer 50 to 100 feet away (through walls, doors,cabinets, inside or outside). Since the Expander kitpicks up the Customizer's RF (radio frequency) signalsfrom any direction, you don't have to point theCustomizer at all. Nothing has to be done to the Customizer for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on theCustomizer, it sends both a line of sight AND an RFcommand. If you install the Expander kit, the MRF-100radio frequency receiver will pick up the RF signalsand translate them into infrared commands that controlyour components.Note: The Customizer's radio signals will not control components directly. You must have an Expander to receive the Customizer's radio signals. Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannotbe operated by the Customizer unless the component can be switched to line-of-sight (Infrared) control via its internalmenus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only andcannot be operated by the Customizer.
31URC-300The Expander converts RF to IR (infrared) com-mands and sends them out via a built-in frontblaster to components in the same cabinet space.The Customizer sendsRF (radio frequency)signals to theExpander, which is anRF receiver.Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in theExpander kit) affix to the front panels ofyour components. The flashers relaycommands to components out of sight ofthe MRF-100 front blaster. The flashersplug into the MRF-100 rear flasher lineoutput jacks. Each flasher has a 10’cable to easily reach components onnearby shelves.

33URC-300Pre-Programmed Code TablesThe Customizer’s built in library of remote controlcommands is classified by category (TV, VCR, DVDetc.) and by brand (Sony, B & K, Panasonic, etc.). Yousimply find the correct category, then the brand youown. Often there will be more than one three digitcode for you to try. Just circle the correct row and referto it while programming (step-by-step instructions forusing three digit codes. If you have a brand that doesn’t appear or if you havealready tried all of the listings for your brand, it may bethat the component is actually manufactured by anoth-er company.

48Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a “Macro”?A “Macro” is a very useful way to make a lot of thingshappen with one button push. For example, in mosthome theaters to watch television, the user must turnon the TV, then turn on the Cable Box or the SatelliteReceiver, then turn on the Surround Sound system forsound. Instead of pressing all of those buttons one at atime, the Customizer enables you to “record” all ofthem to play back with one button push. For moreinformation on how and why you should programMacros, watch the DVD tutorial or read pages 19-22.What happens if the batteries die? Do I haveto re-program EVERYTHING?No. The Customizer stores all of your programming innon-volatile FLASH memory.
