Method C – Programming by means

of code retrieval

Should none of the codes work, you still have the
possibility of retrieving the appropriate code without
having to perform any input.
1. Switch on the set you want to control.
2. Hold down the SETUP key until the indicator lamp

blinks and then remains lit.

3. Press the key that corresponds to the type of

equipment you want to control:

: television set, DVD: DVD player, VCR: Video

recorder, SAT/STB: satellite receiver, cable, DVBT,
ADSL, AMP/AUX: AUDIO equipment and any
other appliance.

4. Direct the remote control towards the set and try to

switch it off by pressing the key G.

5. If the set you want to control switches off, press

to memorise the code.

6. Should the set not switch off, press key G as many

times as required (up to 200 times), until the
set switches off. Between two key presses, leave
enough time for the key corresponding to the
indicator lamp to light up again (about 1 second).
Proceeding this way will enable you to see whether
the set responds or not.

7. Immediately upon the switching-off of the set to be

controlled, press OK to store the code.

Check of the programming:
In principle, your set is ready for receiving the remote
control commands.
Check your remote control for proper functioning by
performing the test described on page 3.
Try out other remote control keys to fi nd out the range
of functions you can control. If you think that not all
of the keys are active, repeat the procedure of this
programming method to fi nd out the code supporting a
wider range of features.

Method D – Automatic

code search

With this method, the remote control scrolls through
the full code list by sending an IR signal to the set to be
controlled remotely. Proceed as follows:
1. Check that your equipment is on. If not, switch it on

manually.

2. Hold down the SETUP key until the indicator lamp

blinks and then remains lit (the indicator light
remains on for a few seconds to give you the time
to proceed with the following steps. The indicator
lamp fl ashes to signal that this time is almost up,
and then goes off).

3. Release the SETUP key.
4. Press the key corresponding to the type of

equipment (for example TV).

5. Press the Prog+ or standby G or B (DVD/

VCR

only) key. After a few seconds, the remote

control begins to scroll through the whole code
list included in the library (at a rate of roughly
1 code per second). Press the Prog+ key once
again to slow down the test speed (1 code every
3 seconds). As soon as the set changes channels,
you must press OK to save the code and stop the
remote control scrolling through the list. If you do
not react quickly enough, you can go back to the
previous code by pressing Prog- or E (DVD/
VCR

only) as many times as necessary (you can

go forward by pressing G , Prog+ or B (DVD/
VCR

only) if you have gone back too far). As soon

as the set responds again, press OK to save the
code.

Method E – Programming for control of a

COMBO (combined TV-VCR, TV/DVD, VCR/

DVD, … set)

Depending on the COMBO group (TV/VCR, VCR/
DVD, etc.) and the make, you will be required to enter
a single code for both devices in the COMBO, or to
enter two codes, one code per device. Consult the
separate list to discover this.
Before you start programming, you must fi nd the
subcode or code of the subset to be controlled
(television or video recorder, ...). Refer to the list
supplied with this user manual (see page subcodes
or codes).
1. Switch on the COMBO you want to control.
2. Hold the SETUP key down until the indicator lamp

blinks and then remains lit.

3. Press the key of the fi rst device to control, and then

follow one of the programming methods A, B, C or
D previously described.

4. If a second code programming is required, then

repeat steps 2 and 3 above.

How to retrieve

a programmed code

It may be useful to retrieve the code programmed in
the remote control.
1. Hold down the SETUP key until the indicator lamp

blinks and then remains lit.

2. Press the key that corresponds to the type of

equipment you want to fi nd the code:

: television set, DVD: DVD player, VCR: Video

recorder, SAT/STB: satellite receiver, cable, DVBT,
ADSL, AMP/AUX: AUDIO equipment and any
other appliance.

3. Press the SETUP key briefl y, so that the indicator

lamp blinks once.

4. Press the numbered keys in ascending order (0 to

9) until the indicator lamp blinks once.

5. The number that caused the indicator lamp to blink

is the fi rst of the four numbers that make up your
code. Make a note of it below.

6. Repeat step 4 to fi nd out the other numbers of the

code.

7. When the fourth number has been found, the

indicator lamp goes out.

Check of

the programming

- For a television or a satellite receiver: switch on and,

for example, press 2 to change channels, etc...

- Video recorder: load a tape and then press B.
- DVD player: load a DVD and then press B.

Try other remote control keys to fi nd out the range of
functions you can control. If you think that not all of the
keys are active, try the programming Method B or C.

When you have retrieved the code of

Learning function

If the make of the device you wish to control is not in
the separate code list or if some functions are missing
in the code you have programmed, you can copy
the key functions of the original remote control of
the device into your ROC6411. Depending on the
format of the transmission codes of the original remote
control, your ROC6411 remote control can memorise
up to 150 keys.

Global delete – Delete all the keys copied
(this is recommended the fi rst time you use
this function)

1. Hold down the SETUP key until the indicator lamp

remains lit.

2. Release the SETUP key.
3. Press twice on the LEARN key. The indicator lamp

goes out and then relights.

4. Press once on the SETUP key. The indicator lamp

goes out after several seconds.

5. All the copied keys are now deleted.
Before starting
• The batteries in the 2 remote controls must be in

good condition; change them if necessary.

• First copy 2 or 3 keys from the original remote

control in order to check the compatibility of the
codes of both remote controls. Then carry out a
global delete of these keys before starting the full
learning procedure.

• Lay out the original remote control and your

ROC6411

end to end so as to align the LED

diodes on the 2 remote controls. Where necessary
adjust the height of both remote controls so that the
LED diodes are properly aligned.

• Place the remote controls with the infrared diodes

on a table so that they point each other at a
distance between 15 and 50 mm.

• Do not move the remote controls during the

learning procedure.

• Ensure that the room is not lit by fl uorescents tubes

or low consumption lamps since such light sources
can interfere with the copying.

• The 2 remote controls must be at least one metre

away from any light source.

• Avoid

copying

VOL

and keys codes and the play

keys since depending on the remote controls the
codes of these keys do not necessarily control the
same devices.

• When the memory of your ROC6411 is full,

the mode key will blink for 3 seconds. It is then
not possible to copy any more codes without fi rst
carrying out a global delete.

• When you copy a key, it is possible that the mode

key will blink feebly. In this case, do not release the
key and wait until the blinking stops.

Note 1: if the learning procedure does not seem to

work correctly, try the following:

1. End the learning procedure by pressing SETUP.
2. Check that the LEDs of the two remote controls

are properly aligned. Carry out the alignment
procedure.

3. Modify the distance between the remote controls, in-

creasing or reducing the distance from 1.5 cm to 5 cm.

4. Restart the procedure from the beginning.
5. If the problem persists and always with the same

key, check that the original remote control is
actually operating: is it sending IR signals? (check
batteries; is it correctly aligned in relation to the
diode on your ROC6411?)

Note 2:
• You cannot copy keys to the LEARN SETUP and

MODE

keys.

• All the keys copied to a mode will be deleted if a 4

fi gure code is entered for this mode (and likewise
for direct entry of a code, search of a code or
make).

Identifying the position of the diode on the
original remote control (keys to copy)
If the Infrared LED of the original remote control is not
visible (for example, if hidden behind a dark plastic
plate), the instructions below will help you to locate
it precisely.
1. Place the front of the original remote control (the

part you point at the device to control) around
2.5 cm from the LED of your ROC6411 (see
LEARNING diagram above).

2. Hold down the SETUP key until the indicator lamp

remains lit.

3. Release the SETUP key.
4. Press once on a mode key (TV, DVD, VCR, …).

The indicator lamp goes out and then relights.

5. Press once on the LEARN key.
6. Hold down one of the keys on the original remote

control while moving the remote control from left
to right. As soon as the 2 remote controls are
correctly aligned, the indicator lamp blinks rapidly.

7. To copy the key functions from your original

remote control into your ROC6411, go to step 5
of “To copy keys”.

Note: Some original remote controls don’t transmit
continuous IR signals when a key is held down. If this is
the case, press several times on one of the keys while
moving the remote control from left to right.

To copy keys
1. Hold down the SETUP key until the indicator lamp

remains lit.

2. Release the SETUP key.
3. Press once on the mode key (TV, DVD,

VCR

,...).The indicator lamp goes out then relights.

4. Press the LEARN key once.
5. Press once on the key of your ROC6411 to which

you want to copy one of the keys of your original
remote control.

6. Hold down the key of the original remote control

you wish to copy until the indicator lamp goes
out and then relights (2 to 3 seconds). In case
of problems, the indicator lamp will blink for 3
seconds but will remain in learning mode. Try
again or try another key.

7. For the other keys, repeat the procedure from step

5 onwards.

8. Press the SETUP key once when all the desired

keys have been copied. The mode key goes off.

To delete all keys copied under a mode
1. Hold down the SETUP key until the indicator lamp

remains lit

2. Release the SETUP key.
3. Press once on a mode key (TV, DVD, SAT,...).

The indicator lamp goes out then relights.

4. Press twice on the LEARN. key. The indicator lamp

goes out then relights.

5. Press once on the SETUP key. The indicator lamp

goes out. All the keys copied under this mode are
deleted.
