Overview &

Pre-Programmed Code Method

BASIC SETUP

Basic Setup - Overview

There are two ways to program the RF20:

• The Pre-Programmed Code Method

• The Learning Method

The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to set up all the buttons at once, so

it’s the fastest and easiest of the two methods. The Learning Method allows you to

transfer functions from other remotes (old or new), one button at a time.

Pre-Programmed Code Method

STEP 1:

The pre-programmed 3-digit codes are

found in the back of this Manual on page

45. The codes are listed by Component

category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), then by

brand name. For instance, if you want to

locate a code for a Sony TV, first locate

the TV category, and then look for the

Sony brand.

Once you have located the 3-digit code (or

in some cases, several code numbers) for

the Component that you want to operate

with your RF20, write them ALL down on a

piece of note paper. It’s important that you

write down all the codes because

only one code is going to work for you.

STEP 2:

Now, turn on the Component you want to

program... let’s say your TV to start. Look

up your TV’s manufacturer setup code

from your reference list.

STEP 3:

Press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) but-

tons at the same time for approximately 3 sec-

onds, until the word “SETUP” is displayed at the

top of the LCD screen. This signals that you are

now in setup mode.

IMPORTANT:

You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step

while you are in SETUP mode. If you don’t press a

button within 30 seconds, SETUP will disappear

from the screen, signaling that you have exited

setup mode and you will need to start over.

BASIC SETUP

Pre-Programmed Code Method

STEP 4:

Press the P-PRO display button

to select the Pre-Programmed

Method.

The screen will then display the five

Components from Page 1 of the MAIN

menu.

To display Page 2 of the MAIN menu

that lists an additional five Components,

simply press the PAGE ( ) ( ) buttons.

STEP 5:

Press the Component display button you

want to program.

For example: If you want to setup the TV

Component button, press the TV

Component display button. The display at

the bottom of the LCD screen will flash

“FROM - TABLE”.

STEP 6:

In this step you verify the type of compo-

nent you plan to operate with this compo-

nent button. For example: If you plan

to operate the TV component with the TV

button, simply press the TV display button

once again. However, if for example you

are setting up AUX to operate a second

DVD Player, you would first need to press

AUX in Step 5, and then DVD in Step 6.

Pre-Programmed Code Method

Pre-Programmed Code Methoda

NOTE:

If the Component fails to turn off after you have entered all

the code numbers listed for your brand, you can scan through

all the other code numbers that are pre-loaded into the RF20

for that Component (in this case TV) by using the UP or

DOWN display buttons on the screen. (There is a chance that

your Component was actually manufactured by another

brand.) However, most of the code tables are so large that it

is usually faster to use the Learning Method on Page 15.

STEP 7:

Point the RF20 toward the Component you

want to program, (in this example, TV), and

punch in the 3-digit code that you wrote

down for that specific Component. Use the

Number buttons 0-9 on the remote to

punch in the code. If the 3-digit code

number that you just punched in is

correct, the Component will turn off. If the

Component does not turn off, continue

entering code numbers from your list until

the Component turns off. Somebrands

have several possible code numbers.

STEP 8:

When the Component turns off, press the

ON button to turn the Component back on.

Now you can test the Volume and Channel

buttons (for TV), or PLAY and STOP (for

VCR and DVD) to make sure they all work.

If any of the buttons do not work properly,

you need to find a new correct code. For

example, maybe your Sony TV turned off

with code number 147, but the volume

controls did not work properly. If this is

the case, try the next code number listed

for that Component until you find a perfect

match.

STEP 9:

Once you have found the right code, save

the code number by pressing the SAVE

display button that appears on the LCD

screen. The LCD screen will blink

“SAVED” two times, signaling that the

code number has been successfully

saved.

STEP 10 :

Exit SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN

button two times.

When the LCD screen displays MAIN, you

are back in normal operating mode.

NOW, PROGRAM THE REST OF YOUR

COMPONENTS BY REPEATING STEPS 1

THROUGH 9. IN MOST SYSTEMS,YOU

CAN FINISH BASIC SETUP IN JUST A

FEW MINUTES AND PUT ALL YOUR OLD

REMOTES AWAY.

IF YOU ARE STILL MISSING COMMANDS

TO CONTROL ANY OF YOUR COMPO-

NENTS, USE THE LEARNING METHOD

BASIC SETUP

Learning Method

The RF20 can actually ‘learn’ commands from other remote controls (old or new),

one-button-at-a-time, so it will never become obsolete. RF20 is the last remote

you’ll ever need!

Just follow these simple steps:

STEP 1:

Line-up the RF20 with the other remote control, head-

to-head, one or two inches apart.

STEP 2:

On the RF20, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter)

buttons at the same time for approximately three sec-

onds, until the word “SETUP” is displayed at the top of

the LCD screen. This signals you are now in SETUP

mode.

IMPORTANT

You now have 30 seconds to perform the

next step while you are in SETUP mode. If

you don’t press a button within 30 seconds,

SETUP will disappear from the screen, sig-

naling that you have exited setup mode and

you will need to start over.

STEP 3:

Press the LEARN display button on the LCD

screen. The top of the screen will change to

“LEARN” and display the five Components

from Page 1 of the MAIN menu.

STEP 4:

Select the Component you want to teach

commands to by pressing that Component

display button on the LCD screen (in this

example, TV). The top of the TV screen will

change to “TV”.

To display Page 2 of the MAIN menu that

lists an additional five Components,

simply press the PAGE ( ) ( ) buttons.

NOTE: If you want to teach any command to a

Component button, press the desired Component

display button once the top of the screen dis-

plays “MAIN”, by pressing the PAGE button. The

top of the screen wil change to “READY”. Then

go to STEP 6.

Learning Method

STEP 5:

Press any button on the RF20 that you

want to teach a command to. The top of

the screen will change to “READY” and

the bottom of the screen will display the

button name you pressed.

STEP 6:

Press and hold the button on the other

remote control that you want to ‘teach’ to

the RF20 until the LCD display on the RF20

changes to either “GOOD” or “FAILD”. If

the “GOOD” label appears on top of the

display, you were successful. If the

“FAILD” label appears on top of the display,

try ‘teaching’ thesame button to the RF20

once again by repeating STEPS 5 and 6.

STEP 7:

Now, continue to teach the RF20 any other

commands from your other remotes by

repeating STEPS 4 through 6 (to go back

to STEP 4, simply press MAIN once).

STEP 8:

Once you have completed teaching all the

button commands to the RF20, return to

normal operation by pressing the MAIN

button twice.

• Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sun-

light, halogen or quartz lighting can inter-

fere with the learning process.

• Even though the old remote seems to be

working fine, put in fresh alkaline

batteries.

• Gradually vary the distance between the

remote controls.

Try 1”, 2” and so on, up to 4 feet.

• Try tapping the button on your old remote

instead of pressing and holding it during

the learning process.

Some additional Information regarding the

Learning Process:

• Learned functions override any existing

pre-programmed functions on the

remote control.

• All buttons can be learned except for the

PAGE, MAIN and LIGHT buttons.

• Learned functions are automatically

erased when a new function is learned

on the same button.

• Learned functions are retained even

after a different Setup Code Number is

programmed into the remote.

• To return to an original pre-programmed

function, a learned function must be

erased.

NOTE: If you don't see the display button you

would like to teach on the LCD screen, use the

PAGE ( ) ( ) buttons. The only buttons you

can't teach are the PAGE and MAIN buttons.

NOTE: Test all your new commands. If any of them

don’t work, try the Learning Method again, follow-

ing these suggestions:
