Programming the remote controller codes of
other devices into the RC-392M
The RC-392M has two learning functions. One is a normal learning function that enables the RC-392M to learn other remote controllers’
codes. The other is a macro learning function, which enables the RC-392M to learn a series of codes already memorized in the remote con-
troller into one MACRO button.
Program the codes for each mode (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV).
1. Place the RC-392M and the remote controller for another
device, with 5–15cm (2–6 inches) apart and the light-emit-
ting parts facing each other.
2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button
on the RC-392M (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE,
VCR, or TV), press the ENT button, then release the but-
tons.
When you press and hold down one of the MODE button, the
SEND/LEARN indicator lights up. When you press the ENT
button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the
SEND/LEARN indicator lights up again.
3. Press and release the desired operation button on the RC-
392M.
You may select any button within the rectangle shown in the figure.
When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.
When you release the button, the indicator lights up again.
4. Press and hold down the desired button on the remote con-
troller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN indicator
on the RC-392M flashes twice.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly, then lights up.
5. Repeat Steps 3–4 to program other buttons in the same
MODE.
Repeat Steps 2-4 to program other buttons in a different MODE.
6. Press the MODE button to complete programming.
7. Operate the programmed button to make sure the learning
function works.
Note:
The remote controller codes for the Onkyo CD player, tape
deck, DVD player, and MD recorder have already been pro-
grammed into the buttons on the RC-392M. You may program
other remote controller codes into these buttons. If you wish to
restore the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes,
erase the new codes. (See page 35.)
Note:
•
The remote controller has 408 memory slots (51 buttons
×
8
modes), although this number varies significantly depending on
the manufacturers and types of the remote controller you wish to
program into the RC-392M. It is recommended that you deter-
mine which button functions have priority for programming.
•
If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during
the procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 2.
•
If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN
indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits
Learning mode.
•
If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the RC-
392M, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly,
then the RC-392M exits Learning function. Try programming in
a button of other MODE.
•
Follow the same procedure when you wish to program new
codes into the already-programmed buttons.
•
This remote controller uses infrared rays. Most remote control-
ler codes can be memorized using the infrared system; however,
depending on the degree to which the system differs, there may
be some rare occasions when memorization is not possible.
•
Some remote controllers use a single button to perform different
functions, with the function code changing each time the button
is pressed. If you are using this kind of controller, please per-
form the “learn” operations for each function individually to
store each function to a button on the RC-392M.
•
For instructions regarding the operation of “learned” units,
please refer to the instruction manual for each product.
•
Even after codes have been memorized, please keep your old
remote controller in a safe place. If the memorized codes are
lost when the batteries run down, it will be necessary to memo-
rize them once again using the old remote controller.
•
Make sure both the RC-392M and the product’s own remote
controller have fresh batteries. If either of them has batteries
that are wearing down, it may be impossible to store the remote
controller codes into the RC-392M or the product may not
respond properly to the buttons on the RC-392M for which the
remote controller codes were stored into memory.
