Preparing the Remote Control
4. aim the remote towards the component you just turned on and enter a set-up code
number from step 1, above. Use the Program (Red) button for the first digit; the
Bookmark (green) button for the second digital; the Thumbnail (yellow) button for the
third digit; and the Zoom (Blue) button for the last digit. If the code to be entered is
“0” you do not need to press the corresponding button; for numbers “1” and above,
press the button that number of times. when you have entered all four digits, press
the Ok button – the component should now turn off.
5. Test the BDs remote control for your device using the power Off/On, Channel Up
and Down, ff, Rew, stop, pause, play, skip forward and skip Back buttons. If any of
the buttons do not perform correctly, repeat the process from step 1 using the next
set-up code number from the list for that manufacturer.
6. If the remote control operates correctly in step 5, press the aux button once again
to store the set-up code number. To confirm that the code has been saved, the LeD
indicator will blink three times.
Auto Search Method
If you have tried all of the four digit set-up code numbers listed for your device and it still
If you have tried all of the four digit set-up code numbers listed for your device and it still
did not turn off, you should use the following Auto Search Method.
1. Turn on the device you would like the BDs remote to control, either manually or with
its own remote control.
2. press and hold down the aux device button for three seconds; the BDs remote will
enter set-up mode. NOTe: The remote will remain in the programming mode for 20
seconds; you must perform step 3 within that time.
3. select the region you are located in and the type of device that you are programming:
for a Us TV, do not press any of Program (Red), Bookmark (green), Thumbnail
(yellow) or Zoom (Blue) buttons.
• for an eU TV, press the program (Red) button one (1) time.
• for an HDTV, press the program (Red) button two (2) times.
• for a Us cable tuner, press the program (Red) button three (3) times.
• for an eU cable tuner, press the program (Red) button four (4) times.
• for a Us satellite tuner, press the program (Red) button five (5) times.
• for an eU satellite tuner, press the program (Red) button six (6) times.
4. point the BDs remote control toward the device and press the Cursor Up button;
each button press sends a “power” signal for one set-up code number. Continuing
to press the Cursor Up button will produce a quick scanning of the set-up code
numbers. Release the Cursor Up button as soon as the device turns off. If you go past
the correct set-up code number, you can return to it by pressing the Cursor Down
button, one code number at a time, until the device turns back on.
5. Test that the BDs remote control works for your device by pressing the power Off/
On, Channel Up and Down, ff, Rew, stop, pause, play, skip forward and skip Back
buttons. If any of the buttons do not perform as expected, repeat the set-up from
step 3.
6. If the BDs remote control is operating correctly at step 4, press the aux Button once
again to store the set-up code number. To confirm that the code has been saved, the
LeD indicator will blink three times.
Programming Individual Button Codes on the Remote:
you can program codes from other component remotes onto the BDs remote’s buttons
that are shown shaded in the following illustration:
1. press and simultaneously hold down the aux and the program (Red) buttons on the
BDs remote control for at least three seconds. The remote’s aux button will blink
once.
2. place the BDs receiver remote and the remote from which you want it to learn codes
head-to-head about 1 inch (2.5cm) apart, with their IR transmitter windows facing
one other.
3. press the button on the BDs remote to which you want to teach a command. (The
remote will remain in the learning mode for 20 seconds after the button is pushed.)
4. press the button on the other remote that you want to “teach” to the BDs remote.
when the IR code has been received and stored, the aux button’s LeD will flash three
times, and the BDs receiver remote will remain in the learning mode, ready to learn
another code. If no IR code is received within 20 seconds, the aux LeD will flash
rapidly several times, and the remote will exit the learning mode.
5. Repeat step 3 and step 4 for each command you want to teach the BDs receiver
remote. NOTe: If the aux button’s LeD goes out at any time, you will need to begin
again from step 2. until it blinks three times.
6. press the aux button once, or wait for 20 seconds to cancel learning program mode.
NOTe: any previously stored set-pp code will be erased when program mode is
activated.
Channel Control “Punch Through” Commands
after programming the remote to control an auxiliary (aux) component, you can also
program it to control the aux component’s channel up/down and transport functions
(play, pause, etc.) even when the remote is not in the aux control mode. for example, if
the remote is programmed to operate your TV in the aux control mode, you can also have
the TV’s channel +/– functions “punch through” and operate even when the remote is in
the Disc, Radio or UsB control modes, for example. (NOTe: when this feature is active,
TV or satellite channel +/– functions will override any existing channel controls set to
that mode.)
