SETUP PROCEEDINGS
The DRC450 is preprogrammed at the factory to operate a RCA TV and VCR (or DVD player), a Motorola (General Instrument) interactive digital terminal, and a Pioneer audio device.To control devices other than the default brands, perform the following steps; otherwise skip this section:
DIRECT CODE ENTRY
- Turn on a device (e.g.,VCR) and, if applicable, insert media, (e.g., cassette or disc). NOTE: Please read steps 2-4 completely before proceeding.Highlight or write down the codes and device you wish to program before moving on to step 2.
- On the DRC450, press and hold a mode key (i.e., AUDIO,VCR/DVD, CABLE,or TV) for at least 6 seconds, until you see the programming mode start.Each mode key light will turn off and on sequentially, starting with AUDIO on through TV, and the sequence will repeat twice. At this time, release the mode key and wait until it’s lit continuously.
- Locate the code for your device in Manufacturer’s Codes. [Visit previous post here, for setup code list]
- Enter the first four-digit code for device. If you perform this procedure correctly, the selected mode key will blink three times. NOTE: If you enter an invalid code, the selected mode key will turn off. Repeat steps 2 through 4 with a valid code.
- Aim the DRC450 at your device and press POWER once.The device should turn off. If it does not respond, repeat steps 2-4, trying each code listed for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try Searching For Your Code. NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER key, press the (Play) key
CODE SEARCH
If
your home entertainment device does not respond to the DRC450 after trying all
of the codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try
searching for your code. For example,
after trying all of the codes for your TV, you still cannot get the DRC450 to
operate your TV, then:
- Turn on your TV.
- On the DRC450, press and hold TV (at least 6 seconds) until you see the programming mode start. Each of the mode key lights will turn off and on sequentially, starting with AUDIO on through TV, and the sequence will repeat twice. During this time, release TV and wait until it’s lit continuously.
- Press the (Up) cursor key once to start the search mode. NOTE: In the search mode, the DRC450 will send IR codes from its library to the selected component, starting with the most popular codes first. When the device responds to a subsequent key command (e.g., POWER), the correct device code will be found.
- Press POWER once.The TV key will light on and off, showing that an IR code has been sent.
- If your television does not turn off, press the (Up) cursor key once again to call up the next IR code and press POWER once again.
- If your television still does not turn off, repeat step 5 as many times as needed until your TV turns off.
- When your television does turn off, a working code has been found. Press OK once to save the code and the TV key will blink three times, confirming the selection.
