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.

NOTE: PAGE, MAIN, FAV, M1, M2

and M3 cannot be learned over.

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

Sunfi 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.
