Note
• The following buttons cannot learn new commands: REMOTE
MODE, ALL OFF, MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC.
• The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90 com-
mands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot of 
memory are learned.
• Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause, and so on
are preprogrammed with commands for controlling Onkyo CD 
players, cassette decks, and DVD players. However, they can 
learn new commands, and you can restore the preprogrammed 
commands at any time by resetting the remote controller (
• To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this proce-
dure.
• Depending on the remote controller that you are using, there may
be some buttons that won’t work as expected, or even some 
remotes that cannot be learned at all.
• Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be learned.
• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all learned com-
mands will be lost and will have to be learned all over again, so 
don’t discard your other remote controllers.

in which you want to delete the command, press and
