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
to operate the TV, even if the remote
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

PUNCH and the display chang es

PLAY selection will make the eight
transport buttons around the joy-

example VOL.

3. Press a device button for the

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

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until you have

punched to all the devices you
want.

ERASE

Use this mode to erase com-

mands stored in the remote. This does
not affect the labels, just the stored
IR commands. The pre-pro grammed
com mands for the TGIII will not be
lost, as they can be recalled.

1. In the SETUP mode, select

ERASE and the display will show
LEARN, FAV, MACRO and EXIT.

2. If you select LEARN, press ALL to

erase all learned but tons, or KEY
to erase one device at a time. If
you use KEY, press MAIN and
EXIT when you have erased all the
devices you want.

3. If you select FAV, press ALL to

erase all favorites, or KEY to erase
single fa vor ites. Note that the
labels are not erased.

4. If you select MACRO, press ALL to

menu, and press MAIN to return to
the main device menu.

disable the light, or change the num-
ber of sec onds it stays on. (The light
is inactive while in the SETUP mode).

1. In the SETUP menu, select LIGHT

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

2. If you press ON, it changes to OFF

and disables the light. This is use-
ful if you want to save battery life,
or if the kids like to use the remote
as a fl ash light or Light Saber

®

.

3. Use the keypad to enter the num-

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.
