However, there are some considerations.Learning Precautions• Your original remote controls must be in working order for learning to work properly.• Learned keys are mode-specific, so each one can store a unique function for each mode.• Do not use the following keys for learning: Device Keys, SimpleCenter.• Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25 keys, depending on the code being learned. • This feature will not store a sequence of keys on a single key. To program a sequence, see “Using Macros” on page 23.• 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-efficient fluorescent lights.NOTE: Please have your original remote controls handy before programming learning. NOTE: If more than 10 seconds pass between key presses, the remote exits programming.Programming a Learned Key1. Place theMediaRemote with SimpleCenter head-to-head (about 2" apart) from your original remote control. Also locate the key (on your Media Remote Rev 1.fm Page 21 Monday, October 3, 2005 4:12 PM
22original remote control) that you want the MediaRemote with SimpleCenter to learn.2. Press  and  (rewind and fast forward) at the same timeuntil the power key blinks twice, then 975. The power key blinks twice.NOTE: If the power key displays one long flash instead, either your batteries are low, or theMediaRemote with SimpleCenter has a memory fault. In either case, the remote will not learn a new key. See “Additional Information” on page 28.3. Press a device key once (i.e., TV, CBL/SAT, or AUDIO) to assign a mode for learning, then the key that will learn the new code. The power key blinks rapidly, indicating the remote is ready to learn.4. On the original remote, press and hold the key to be learned. Continue holding the key on the original remote until the MediaRemote with SimpleCenter’s power key blinks twice.NOTE: If the power key displays one long blink, a learning error has occurred.Try repeating this step again until a successful capture occurs. If the function is still not captured, press and hold SETUP to exit programming and review the “Learning Precautions” on the previous page. If needed, also see “Troubleshooting” on page 26. After review, start programming again at step 1.5. Repeat steps 3 through 4 for another device and/or key or press OK to exit programming.Deleting a Single Learning KeyThis process returns the key to its original programming for the mode you select. You can also delete learned programming by teaching a different function to the key (see “Programming a Learned Key” on page 21)2"Media Remote Rev 1.fm Page 22 Monday, October 3, 2005 4:12 PM
