38 Chapter 2Using the Remote ControlThe Learning FeatureBefore using the learning feature, make sure this TV’s remote control is programmed to controlother devices you have connected to the TV. Programming the remote control erases all learnedcommands for that device mode.After you program the TV’s remote control to operate the other device, the TV’s remote providesmost of the operations you need. However, there may be some functions on the device’s originalremote control that your TV’s remote control doesn’t have. For example, your DVD remote controlmight have an ANGLE button that enables you to change the angle of the picture, but your TVremote doesn’t have that button. The learning feature enables you to record the functionality of aspecifi c button from the original remote control to one of the TV’s remote control buttons.Note: All learned functions for a mode can be erased if you program a different device tothat mode.Adding a Learned FunctionThere are several things to consider before you begin the learning process:• You can’t record a learned function to the following buttons on the TV’s remote control: devicebuttons (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CAB, AUX, and AUDIO), the CLEAR button, and the LIGHTbutton.• Before adding a Learned Function, you must program this TV’s remote control to operate thatdevice because programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that devicemode.• Do the learning process in low light areas because too much natural light or fluorescent lightmight cause the learning feature to fail because the remote control functions are recorded(learned) by sending infrared (IR) signals.• The TV’s remote and the original remote should be no more than 2 inches apart.• In order to record (learn) a function from one remote to the other, you must make sure theInfrared (IR) transmitter of the original remote is facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV’sremote (see illustration). To accomplish this, you may have to hold a remote in each handinstead of laying both on the table.• The learned buttons are mode specific—if you add a button function from your DVD player’sremote control, you must press the DVD button first before the learned function will work(in TV mode, the button where you’ve stored the learned function will continue to work as italways has).Up to 2 inches apart
