PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

3. Press the Input Selector e button chosen and

the Learn Button

at the same time. Hold

these buttons until the Program/SPL Indicator
c flashes amber and the light under the device
selector button turns red. Release the buttons.

4. Press the button on the RCP 2 that you wish to

program. The Program/SPL Indicator c will
stop flashing.

5. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the button on the

original remote that you wish to “teach” into the
RCP 2. When the Program/SPL Indicator c turns
green three times, release the button. The Program
Indicator will then begin to flash amber again.

NOTE: If the Program/SPL Indicator c turns
red during Step 4 or 5, the programming was not
successful. Repeat the steps to see whether the
code will “take.”

6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for each button on the

source remote that you wish to transfer to the
RCP 2 remote.

7. Once all codes have been transferred from the

original source remote to the RCP 2, press the
Learn Button

.

8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any additional

remotes you wish to “teach” into the RCP 2.

Erasing Learned Codes
The RCP 2 allows you to remove or erase the code
learned into a single button for a single device, to
remove or erase the code set for all the codes that
have been programmed into specific device buttons,
or to erase all commands that have been learned
to all devices.

If you erase a code that is part of a macro, that macro
sequence will no longer operate properly.

To erase a single learned code from within a single
device’s settings, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold both the Input Selector ef

within which the individual button to be erased has
been programmed and the Learn Button

.

2. When the red LED under the Input Selector turns

red and the Program/SPL Indicator c flashes
amber, release the buttons.

3. Press and release the Input Selector ef

again for the device within which the individual
button to be erased has been programmed.

4. Press the 7 Button r four times.

5. Press and release the individual button for which the

code is to be erased. The Program/SPL Indicator
c will blink green twice and then return to amber.

6. To erase other buttons within the same device, press

them as described in Step 5.

7. When all buttons to be erased have been pressed,

press the Learn Button

to complete the

process.

To erase all codes within a single device, follow these
steps:

1. Press and hold both the Input Selector ef

for which you wish to erase the codes and the

Learn Button

.

2. When the red LED under the Input Selector turns

red and the Program/SPL Indicator c flashes
amber, release the buttons.

3. Press and release the Input Selector ef

again for the device whose codes you wish to erase.

4. Press the 8 Button r four times.

5. The Program/SPL Indicator c will turn off and

the red light under the Input Selector will flash on
and off once to indicate that the codes have been
erased.

To erase all codes that have been programmed to all
devices in the remote, follow these steps:

1. Press any Input Selector ef for which

you wish to erase the codes and also the Learn
Button

.

2. When the red LED under the Input Selector turns

red and the Program/SPL Indicator c flashes
amber, release the buttons.

3. Press and release the Input Selector ef

again for the device whose codes you wish to erase.

4. Press the 9 Button r four times.

5. The Program/SPL Indicator c will turn off and

the red light under the Input Selector will flash on
and off once to indicate that the codes have been
erased.

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used
combinations of commands with the press of a single
button on the RCP 2. Once programmed, a macro will
send out up to 19 different remote codes in a prede-
termined sequential order, enabling you to automate
the process of turning on your system, changing
devices, or other common tasks. The RCP 2 can store
up to five separate macro command sequences: one
that is associated with the Power On Button d and
four more that are accessed by pressing the Macro
Buttons

.

1. Press the Mute Button

and the Macro

Button

to be programmed or the

Power On Button d at the same time.
An Input Selector will light red, and the Program/
SPL Indicator c will flash amber.

2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by press-

ing the button for the actual command step.
Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps,
each button press, including those used to change
devices, counts as a step. The Program/SPL
Indicator c will flash green to confirm each
button press as you enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power On/Off of
any device during a macro sequence, press the Mute
Button

. DO NOT press the actual Power button.

3. When all the steps have been entered, press the

Sleep Button j to enter the commands. The
red light under the Input Selectors ef will
blink and then turn off.

Example: To program the Macro 1 button so that it
turns on the AVR, TV and a cable box, follow these
steps:

• Press the Macro 1 Button

and Mute

Button

at the same time and then release

them.

• Note that the Program/SPL Indicator c will

flash amber.

• Press the AVR Selector f.

• Press the Mute Button

to store the AVR’s

power on command.

• Press the VID 3 Input Selector Button e to

indicate the next command is for “TV Power On.”

• Press the Mute Button

to store the TV

Power On Command.

• Press the VID 2 Input Selector Button e to

indicate the next command is for “Cable Power On.”

• Press the Mute Button

to store the Cable

Power On command.

• Press the Sleep/Channel Up Button j to

complete the process and store the macro
sequence.

After following these steps, each time you press
the Macro 1 Button

the remote will send

the Power On/Off command.
