INTRODUCTION
XTR39 Overview
The XTR39 Color LCD touch-screen remote control from Xantech is the perfect solution to the clutter
of difficult-to-use remote controls that accompany most home theater systems.
The XTR39 is a stylish, simple-to-use remote control that can be personalized via its vivid full color
3.9” touch-screen display: button layout can be customized; easily identified icons created for virtually
any function or command; and multiple screen pages allow less frequently used buttons to be
concealed.
Pick it up, and the XTR39 comes to life. Dedicated buttons for the most frequently used buttons such
as volume, channel, power, and mute are perfectly positioned. A convenient touch-wheel control sets
the XTR39 apart, allowing quick scrolling through menus and commands.
All screen buttons and icons can be programmed to perform multiple commands with a single touch.

LEARNING IR COMMANDS (Creating Palette Files)
IR Codes from Manufactures remotes of each of the components you wish to control from the XTR39,
may be learned into the Universal Dragon™ software and stored in Palette files for placement onto
the XTR39. In order to do this, the XTR39 must be connected to the PC as outlined above.
NOTE: Before starting this section, included in the Universal Dragon™ software, is an extensive IR
Code Library. Before learning IR commands from multiple remotes, check the IR Library to see if your
IR commands for each of the components you wish to control are listed.
NOTE: If you have previously created Palette files in any other versions of Universal Dragon™
software on your PC (for programming URC-2’s, MRC88, etc) these files can be Imported by clicking
on the Import button on the Palette Editor and then browsing to the location of the palette you
wish to import.
If all of your codes are either located in the IR Code Library or are already learned in palettes, please
proceed to the section entitled Placing Commands onto the GTL’s.
Built-In IR Code Library
The Universal Dragon™ software has a built-in IR Code Library. This is basically a large database of
manufactures IR commands for a whole assortment of components at your disposal. If your
manufacture’s codes are in our database there might not be any need to ‘teach’ IR commands into
the system. To check the Universal Dragon™ software’s extensive IR Code Library, do the following:
1) Click on the Palette Editor on the right side of the application if it is closed.
2) Click on the mode button to change the “Mode: Palette” to “Mode: Edit”
3) Click on the Manufacturer and then the Component Type (i.e. VCR, DVD etc.)
A list of Command Groups for that manufacturer’s components IR codes will be displayed.
You will need to test commands from these different Command Groups to see which one
works with your component. Please see the next section entitled Testing IR Commands in the
IR Library.
- 23 -
Testing IR Commands in the IR Library
Once you have located all of the Command Group codes for the appropriate
Manufacturer/Component, you will need to test the commands to see which Command Group is
associated with your specific component.
NOTE: To test commands out of the Library, the PC running Universal Dragon™ software must be
connected to the XTR39 via the USB programming port.
With the Manufacturer and Component expanded and the proper library selected.
1) With the PC still connected to the XTR39 programming port, select the “TEST” button .
The TEST button should now become highlighted .
2) Click on the command listed in the IR Library. The controlled component should respond to
each command sent. (i.e. “Power” turns the source ON or OFF, “PLAY” plays the content etc.)
If a component does not respond to a command, click on another Command Group listed
under that manufacturer and retest.
3) If the codes for the specified component are present, you are now ready to start creating
Macro’s under the GTL buttons you created in the previous section. Please see the Section
- 24 -
entitled Placing Commands onto the GTL’s. If no working commands can be found in the IR
Library, please proceed to the following section entitled Learning IR Commands.
Learning IR Commands (XIR2)
An IR Learning Eye is located on the front of the XTR39.
Note: Commands learned through the XTR39 front learning eye (XIR2 method) are NOT backwards
compatible to other Xantech devices (i.e. MRC44/88, URC-2 etc…).
Palettes created in earlier version of Dragon Drop-IR™ software (XIR1 method) CAN be imported into
the Universal Dragon™ software. (i.e. palettes created in DragMRC, Drag450 or Drag460 software
CAN be imported and used in Universal Dragon™).
Note: When learning IR commands through the front learning-eye, it is suggested that the
environment be free of any IR interference. This could include Fluorescent or Halogen lighting,
sunlight, Plasma or LCD displays and interference from PC Monitor display.

3) Locate and Select the symbol next to the type of COMPONENT as shown in Figure 21
(DVD, SAT etc) (See later section for ‘Adding Components and Functions’).
4) The Palette Editor will now be open to the “Brand” & “Component” selected. A list of
FUNCTIONS for that type of component will appear as shown in Figure 22. Review the list of
Functions and compare to the source remote. If your function is not displayed or not named
appropriately see the section entitled ‘Editing Function Names in the Palette Editor.
5) Click on the RECORD button in the middle of the Palette Editor.
The RECORD button text will become highlighted.
Dragon is now ready to learn the IR codes for the specific brand/component selected.
Note: Before performing step 6, read steps 6 thru 8 as the RECORD process is a timed
function. You will have 10seconds to perform the process before the system times out.
6) Place the Teaching remote pointed towards the IR Learn eye on the XTR39.
- 25 -

1) Be sure corresponding source for the commands to be tested is ON and connected to the
XTR39.
2) Direct the XTR39 towards the source (IR eye).
3) With the PC still connected to the XTR39’s programming port, select in the Palette
Editor window.
The TEST button text will highlight .
4) Click on each of the command names one-by-one that need to be tested. The red light to the
left of “TEST” will turn on as the IR command executes.
5) The controlled component should respond to each command sent.(i.e. “Power” turns the
source ON or OFF, “PLAY” plays the content etc.)
NOTE: Only functions with the symbol will execute.
6) If a component does not respond to a command, re-learn and re-test the IR command until the
component responds.
7) Repeat steps 1 thru 6 for all commands to be tested.

Creating a Palette File
A Palette File is a file of learned commands that is ready to be placed under a GTL for use in the
XTR39.
Note: As previously mentioned, Palette files created in Universal Dragon™ software (XIR2 method)
cannot be used with other devices.
1. Select to create a new palette file.
2. Then choose to either add a new brand or component (to all brands).
Or right click on the brand/component list on the left side of the palette editor to add a brand or
component (to a specific brand selected or to all brands on the list).
The new component will show up on the list along with RS232, XIR1 and XIR2 palettes added
by default. Note: The XTR39 does not support RS232 commands. The XTR39 will learn IR
commands under the XIR2 format.
Choose the palette to work with and then edit the list of commands as needed.
PLACING COMMANDS ONTO THE GTL’s (Creating Macro’s)
All of the IR Codes (Palettes or IR Command Groups) should be confirmed and tested before
continuing. In the sections to follow, you will be setting up the XTR39 for use in controlling a source.
This will consist of setting up the Source Icons, placing IR commands onto the XTR39.
Selecting IR Palettes from the IR Code Library
1) Click on PALETTE EDITOR on the right side Universal Dragon™ window if it is not already
open.
2) Click on the mode button to change the “Mode: Edit” to “Mode: Palette”
3) Click on the Component Type (i.e. VCR, DVD etc.) and then the Manufacturer.
4) Find the Command Group file previously tested

Selecting IR Palettes
Scroll the list (if necessary) and click on the component of each palette you need for your system (i.e.
Pioneer CD, RCA DSS, etc).
As you click on each file name, the palettes will appear side-by-side, left to right, with the filename in
each title bar.
NOTE 1: The various palettes and window boxes can be moved and sized (except the virtual
keypads) for ease of use. If you click on a Palette file in the list and you do not see it on the screen,
move some of the currently opened windows to see if it is hidden behind another window.
NOTE 2: Each palette can be edited by clicking the Edit Palette bar or closed with the X button in the
title bar.
Associating Commands To GTL’s (Drag And Drop Commands)
1) Select the MACRO’s tab in the XTR39 Systems window
2) Click the desired Source button on the XTR39 GUI Display.
3) Click the Function button you wish to place a command under and select the applicable
command from the palette for that component function. The code name
(function/brand/component) for that button will appear in the Macro Command List on the
XTR39 window.
4) To add additional commands to the same button (i.e. creating a Macro Sequence), just repeat
steps 2 & 3. Up to 40 Commands can be placed under each programmable button (See:
“Programming Sequences”)
5) Repeat for all GTL Function buttons and Source Buttons.
Timed Delays
Timed Delays can be placed in a sequence. This is desired in macros where a delay is needed
between two commands to allow for a unit to respond completely to the previous command (i.e. After
a POWER ON command is given a Delay is usually necessary before the next command will be
recognized or when entering multiple digit channel commands to a CBL or SAT box).
1) Click the up/down arrows next to “DELAY” in the Macro Command List window for the number
of seconds you want up to 30 seconds (i.e. 2 = 2 seconds) or simply highlight the number in
the Delay window and enter the number using the keyboard.
2) Left Click and Drag the “Delay 2 Sec” line and drop it between any two commands you have
placed on the Command List.
NOTE: As you drag a command upward in the list and you want the command between two existing
commands, drop it on the lower one. As you drag downward, drop it on the upper one.
Delete
Highlighting a single command in the Macro Command List and right-click the command with the
mouse. Select Delete from the pop-up menu will remove the command from the Macro Command
List.

Testing Commands Placed on the virtual XTR39 Window
Commands placed under buttons in the virtual XTR39 window may be tested prior to downloading. To
test commands, the PC must be connected to the XTR39 and the XTR39 must be pointed at the
source to be controlled.
In Universal Dragon, under the menu items, change from Normal Mode to Test Mode.
Select the appropriate GTL button in the XTR39 window with the IR codes placed under it to test. (i.e.
PLAY button). The button should now appear selected.
Commands listed under the Macro Command List for that selected Command should now be
executed in order of appearance.
TRANSFERRING THE PROJECT
The project can now be transferred to the XTR39.
NOTE: Before continuing, make sure the PC is connected to the XTR39 and a ‘BASE UNIT WHO AM
I’ can be performed.
To transfer the project to the XTR39, complete the following steps.
1) Click on BASE UNIT and select ‘Who am I…’, and “XTR39” from the menu list. Verify a valid
response is received.
2) Click on FILE and select ‘Transfer Project’ from the menu list or simply press CTRL + B on the
PC keyboard.
3) A file transfer dialog box should appear and start showing progress of the transfer process.
4) A spinning wheel will appear on the XTR39. This indicates project data from the PC is being
transferred to the XTR39. Do not disturb the connection between the PC and XTR39 until the
transfer is complete.
5) The XTR39 will automatically restart with the newly create project.
Congratulations, you have finished programming the XTR39!
