The Learning Feature
Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV’s remote control is programmed to control other components you have
connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that component mode.
After you program the TV’s remote control to operate the other component, the TV’s remote provides most of the
operations you need. However, there may be some functions on the component’s original remote control that your TV’s
remote control doesn’t have. For example, your DVD remote control might have a ZOOM button that enables you to
enlarge the picture, but your TV/DVD remote doesn’t have that button. The learning feature enables you to record the
functionality of a specific button from the original remote control to one of the TV’s remote control buttons.
Note: All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a different component to that mode.
Up to 2 inches apart
Adding a Learned Function
There are several things to consider before you begin the learning process:
• You can’t record a learned function to the following buttons on the TV’s remote control: component buttons (TV, VCR,
DVD, AUX/HD, and AUDIO), the CLEAR button, and the LIGHT button.
• Before adding a Learned Function, you must program this TV’s remote control to operate that component because
programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that component mode.
• Do the learning process in low light areas because too much natural light or fluorescent light might cause the learning
feature to fail because the remote control functions are recorded (learned) by sending infrared (IR) signals.
• The TV’s remote and the original remote should be no more than 2 inches apart.
• In order to record (learn) a function from one remote to the other, you must make sure the Infrared (IR) transmitter of
the original remote is facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV’s remote (see illustration). To accomplish this, you may
have to hold a remote in each hand instead of laying both on the table.
• The learned buttons are mode specific—if you add a button function from your DVD player’s remote control, you must
press the DVD button first before the learned function will work (in TV mode, the button where you’ve stored the learned
function will continue to work as it always has).
1. Press and hold the component button on the TV’s remote that applies to the function you will be adding (DVD, VCR,
SAT/CAB, AUDIO, or AUX/HD). The component button lights.
2. On the TV/DVD remote, press and hold the RECORD button.
3. Keep pressing both of the buttons (the component button and the RECORD button) until the component button light
turns off, flashes, and turns off. Release both buttons.
4. On the TV’s remote control, press and release the button where you want to store the new function (the component
button turns off and then back on).
Note: If you press an invalid button on the TV/DVD remote, one of the component button flashes 4 times to alert you.
You’ll have to repeat step 4.
