7Overview & Pre-Programmed Code MethodBASIC SETUPSTEP 1: The pre-programmed 3-digitcodes are found in the back ofthis Manual on page 45. Thecodes are listed by Componentcategory (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD,etc.), then by brand name. Forinstance, if you want to locatea code for a Sony TV, firstlocate the TV category, andthen look for the Sony brand.Once you have located the3-digit code (or in some cases,several code numbers) for theComponent that you want tooperate with your RF20, writethem ALL down on a piece ofnote paper. It’s  important thatyou write down all the codesbecause only one code is goingto work for you.STEP 2: Now, turn on the Componentyou want to program... let’s sayyour TV to start. Look up yourTV’s manufacturer setup codefrom your reference list.Pre-Programmed Code MethodBasic Setup - OverviewThere are two ways to program the RF20:• The Pre-Programmed Code Method• The Learning MethodThe Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to set upall the buttons at once, so it’s the fastest and easiest ofthe two methods. The Learning Method allows you totransfer functions from other remotes (old or new), onebutton at a time.
8BASIC SETUPPre-Programmed Code MethodSTEP 3: Press and hold the MAIN and ENT(Enter) buttons at the same timefor approximately 3 seconds, untilthe word “SETUP” is displayed atthe top of the LCD screen. Thissignals that you are now in setupmode.IMPORTANT:You now have 30 seconds to performthe next step while you are in SETUPmode. If you don’t press a buttonwithin 30 seconds, SETUP will disap-pear from the screen, signaling thatyou have exited setup mode and youwill need to start over.MAINBUTTONENTER BUTTON
9Pre-Programmed Code MethodBASIC SETUPThe screen will then display thefive Components from Page 1 ofthe MAIN menu.To display Page 2 of the MAINmenu that lists an additional fiveComponents, simply press thePAGE ( ) ( ) buttons.STEP 4: Press the P-PRO display buttonto select the Pre-ProgrammedMethod.FIRST FIVEDEVICE NAMESPAGE BUTTONSP-PROBUTTON
10BASIC SETUPPre-Programmed Code MethodSTEP 6: In this step you verify the typeof component you plan tooperate with this componentbutton. For example: If you planto operate the TV componentwith the TV button, simply pressthe TV display button onceagain. However, if for exampleyou are setting up AUX tooperate a second DVD Player,you would first need to pressAUX in Step 5, and then DVDin Step 6.STEP 5: Press the Component displaybutton you want to program.For example: If you want tosetup the TV Componentbutton, press the TV Compo-nent display button. The displayat the bottom of the LCD screenwill flash “FROM - TABLE”.
11Pre-Programmed Code MethodBASIC SETUPNOTE:If the Component fails to turn off after you haveentered all the code numbers listed for your brand,you can scan through all the other code numbersthat are pre-loaded into the RF20 for that Component(in this case TV) by using the UP or DOWN displaybuttons on the screen. (There is a chance that yourComponent was actually manufactured by anotherbrand.) However, most of the code tables are solarge that it is usually faster to use the LearningMethod on Page 15.STEP 7: Point the RF20 toward theComponent you want toprogram, (in this example, TV),and punch in the 3-digit codethat you wrote down for thatspecific Component. Use theNumber buttons 0-9 on theremote to punch in the code.If the 3-digit code number thatyou just punched in is correct,the Component will turn off.If the Component does not turnoff, continue entering codenumbers from your list until theComponent turns off. Somebrands have several possiblecode numbers.STEP 8: When the Component turns off,press the ON button to turn theComponent back on. Now youcan test the Volume andChannel buttons (for TV), orPLAY and STOP (for VCR andDVD) to make sure they allwork. If any of the buttons donot work properly, you need tofind a new correct code. ForUP & DOWNBUTTONSNUMBERBUTTONS
12BASIC SETUPPre-Programmed Code Methodaexample, maybe your Sony TVturned off with code number 147,but the volume controls did notwork properly. If this is the case,try the next code number listedfor that Component until you finda perfect match.ONBUTTONVOLUMEBUTTONSCHANNELBUTTONSPLAYBUTTONSTOPBUTTON
13Pre-Programmed Code MethodBASIC SETUPSTEP 9: Once you have found the rightcode, save the code number bypressing the SAVE displaybutton that appears on the LCDscreen. The LCD screen willblink “SAVED” two times,signaling that the code numberhas been successfully saved.SAVEBUTTON

41‘Barrier -Free’  RF controlTHE POWER BLASTERThe Optional PowerBlasterTM(for ‘barrier-free’ RF control)[Sold separately]Of all the fabulous RF20 features, this is probably the mostexciting. When used in combination with the optionalPowerBlasterTM, the RF20 becomes an amazing remotecontrol powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (RadioFrequency) signals that pass through walls, doors andfloors - both indoors and outdoors.This changes everything! It enables you to controlComponents that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’away. The PowerBlasterTM picks up RF20’s radio frequencysignals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF20doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any Component. Justimagine - no more pointing! Now you can close yourentertainment center doors, hide your Components, andstill control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers onyour patio. Control your Components anywhere!One of the best things about this is -- nothing has to bedone to the RF20 for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on the RF20, it sends both astandard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Fre-quen-cy) signal. If you install the PowerBlasterTM kit, it will automat-ically receive RF20’s radio signals and translate them into theinfrared commands that control your Components.NOTE: The RF20's radio signals will not control Componentsdirectly. You must have a PowerBlasterTM to receive theRF20's radio signals. Components that came with "no point-ing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the RF20unless 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 bythe RF20.
42THE POWER BLASTERThe RF20 sends radio signal to the PowerBlasterTM, whichis a radio receiverThe PowerBlasterTM converts radio signals to standardinfrared commands and sends them out via a built-in frontblaster to Components in the same cabinet space.Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the PowerBlasterTMkit) affix to the front panels of your Components. Theflashers relay infrared commands to Components out-of-sight of the PowerBlaster’s front blaster. The flashers pluginto PowerBlaster’s rear flasher line output jacks. Eachflasher has a 10’ cable to easily reach Components onnearby shelves.‘Barrier -Free’  RF control

64Frequently Asked QuestionsOTHER INFOFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a “macro” button?A “macro” is a button on the RF20 that you setup to makea lot of things happen when you press it. For example, towatch a DVD in most home theaters requires severalremote controls and many button presses (power up theTV, power up the surround sound, power up the DVDplayer, set the TV to the correct video input, set thesurround 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, theRF20 enables you to setup one button that does all thosesteps automatically with one press. For more informationon how and why you should setup macro buttons,watch the Quick Setup DVD Program Guide or refer topages 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-volatileFLASH memory. You could remove the batteries formonths, replace them at your convenience, and the RF20would still remember your settings.Who can I call for more answers?The Universal Remote Control Technical Support andCustomer Service staff are ready to answer any questionsyou might have.Call us at 1-914-835-4484Monday - Friday, 9AM to 6PM (EST)
