CHAPTER 3
PUNCH
This mode allows you to set up
the volume, channel up/down and
transport buttons so they will work for
your main de vic es, no matter which
device the remote is set for. For ex-
am ple, the volume buttons can be set

is set to work the VCR. The chan-
nel buttons can be set to operate the
VCR, even if the remote is set to TV.
1. In the SETUP mode, select

device you want the Volume com-
mands to appear in (punch TO).
4. Press a device button for the de-
vice you want to learn from (punch

ERASE
Use this mode to erase com-

IR commands. The pre-pro grammed
com mands for the TGIII will not be
lost, as they can be recalled.

and the display will show ON, time
in seconds, SAVE and EXIT.

ber of seconds you want the light
to stay on. If you enter 00, it only
stays on while the light button is
held down.
4. Select SAVE, or press EXIT to
make no change. Either of these
will return you to the SETUP menu.
LEARN
The remote can learn commands
from other remote controls. This is
useful if the pre-pro grammed com-
mands do not operate some of your
equip ment, or certain buttons do not
work, or you want to customize key
functions.
There are a few buttons which
cannot be learned over: PAGE, MAIN,
FAV, M1, M2 and M3.
1. Find your original remote and
make sure it has good batteries,
and it operates your equip ment
per fect ly. In the following example,
the Sunfi re remote will learn the
PLAY com mand from a DVD re-
mote.
2. Point the DVD remote into the Red
IR top window of the Sunfi re re-
mote. Place them on a fl at surface,
about 1 to 2 inches apart, and
avoid bright lighting or sunlight.
3. In the SETUP mode, press
LEARN.
4. Select the DVD device button and
the display will change to show
some common DVD labels (re-
mem ber there are two pages).
5. Select the PLAY button just above
the joystick pad. The display will
show “READY.”
6. Press your DVD remote’s PLAY
button. The display will show
“GOOD” if it has been accepted. If
it shows “FAIL,” press PLAY again.
7. Press another button on the Sun-
fi re remote and repeat the pro ce -
dure until all the DVD buttons you
need are learned.
8. Press MAIN once to return to the
LEARN mode, twice for SETUP
and three times for the MAIN
menu.
9. Try out the Sunfi re remote and see
if the learned buttons will suc cess -
ful ly operate your equipment. You
may fi nd that some commands
cannot be learned, because some
are non-conventional, or too long
or too short.
10. The EDIT command can be used
to change the labels if some of the
standard labels do not correspond
to your original remote buttons.
