3 REPEAT THE PROCESS OF “TEACHING” NEW COMMANDS TO THE
VARIOUS BUTTONS ON YOUR REMOTE CONTROL UNTIL ALL
APPROPRIATE OR DESIRED FRONT PANEL COMMANDS HAVE BEEN
LEARNED BY YOUR REMOTE
4 WHEN FINISHED, EXIT THE TEACH IR MODE BY ALLOWING THE Nº31.5 TO
“TIMEOUT”
You may wish to teach your remote control some of the Nº31.5’s special
commands (those for which there is no corresponding panel button); in
this case, you should go directly to the next section. Otherwise, simply
avoid pressing any buttons for about ten seconds, and the Nº31.5 will auto-
matically return to normal operation.
At some point, however, you should test all your newly “learned” commands
to ensure that they were “learned” correctly.
Teaching Other
Nº31.5 Commands
As mentioned above, the Nº31.5 has the capability to teach learning remote con-
trols special commands for which there are no front panel counterparts. These
commands can be especially helpful in solving problems in certain kinds of cus-
tom installations.
These “positive control” commands in the Nº31.5 will place it into a certain mode
of operation regardless of its current state. For example, a positive control com-
mand to enter
standby will leave the Nº31.5 in standby if already there, or switch
it to standby if it is currently operating. This type of positive control is especially
helpful when you do not necessarily know the current status of the Nº31.5, as
might be the case in a multi-room home entertainment system (for example).
1 PLACE THE Nº31.5 IN ITS FRONT PANEL TEACHING MODE
As explained on the previous page, you do this by pressing and holding the
repeat disc button until the display reads TEACH IR . If no further buttons
are pressed within approximately ten seconds, the Nº31.5 will “time out”
and return to normal operation.
2 RELEASE, THEN PRESS AND HOLD THE REPEAT DISC BUTTON A SECOND
TIME TO PLACE THE Nº31.5 IN ITS CUSTOM IR MODE
After about five seconds, the display will change from
TEACH IR to
IR CODE 01 . This indicates that the special IR codes that do not correspond
to front-panel buttons are now available for teaching to a learning remote
control—including some that are designed to solve problems unique to cus-
tom installations.
3 PRESS THE REPEAT DISC BUTTON REPEATEDLY TO ADVANCE TO THE
DESIRED FUNCTION
The table on the next page lists the various commands that are available for
the Nº31.5 for which there is no front-panel equivalent. In some cases, they
represent “positive control” alternatives to commands which normally toggle
between two settings (such as standby and operate). In other cases, they
represent functions which exist only on the remote control. In the second
column are the designations that will be displayed to indicate that the
Nº31.5 is ready to fire the corresponding IR code.
