Letting the Remote Controller Learn the Codes
from Other Remote Controllers
When programming the commands of another remote
controller to the RC-511M remote controller, you must
first decide under to which MODE button you want the
commands to be linked. In general, you will select the
MODE button that corresponds to the component you are
programming. For example, if you are programming the
functions from a remote controller for a compact disc
player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then,
by pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-
511M remote controller will change to the commands
you program here to operate the compact disc player.
After programming which MODE button to use, you
will then transfer the separate commands from the other
remote controller over to the RC-511M remote control-
ler one at a time. Each command is then programmed to
a different button on the RC-511M remote controller.
Any button is programmable for this step except for the
eight MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, SAT/MD,
NET A, TV, VCR, and CABLE), the two MACRO but-
tons (1 and 2), and the LIGHT button.
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep
your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some rea-
son the commands are lost (e.g., when the batteries run
down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.
Programming Procedure
1
Place the remote controller and the
remote controller for the other device fac-
ing each other at a distance of 2 to 6
inches (5 to 15 cm) apart.

2
While pressing and holding down the
desired MODE button on the remote con-
troller, press the ENTER/ZONE 2 button
and then release both buttons.
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the
MODE button is pressed and turns off when the
ENTER button is pressed. When the indicator
turns off, release both buttons. The SEND/
LEARN indicator lights again.
3
Press and release the button on the
remote controller to which you want to
transfer the next command.
You may select any button excluding the eleven
ones indicated in the figure below. When you
press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator
turns off. When you release the button, the indica-
tor lights again.
If you press the wrong button by mistake, press
that same button again. The SEND/LEARN indi-
cator flashes twice, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode.
4
Press and hold down the button (that cor-
responds to the command you are pro-
gramming) on the remote controller of the
other device until the SEND/LEARN lamp
on the remote controller flashes twice.
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indica-
tor will light again.
5
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the
commands you desire from the other
remote controller and program them to
buttons on the remote controller under
the same MODE.
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands
to a different MODE (e.g., when programming
from a different remote controller).
6
Press the MODE button that you pressed
in step 2 to complete the programming.
7
Operate the newly programmed buttons to
make sure the learning function was per-
formed properly.
