To program the RM-VL900 Universal Remote please follow the following: 1. Find the three digit code number for the desired component in the following list. 2. Press S (set). All Component Select buttons flash. 3. Press the Component Select button for the desired component. 4. Press the number buttons to enter the three digit component code number. 5. Press ENT. The RM-VL900 remote is factory pre-set for Satellite and will not accept cable box codes unless the component button is re-assigned. In other words it is not a dual component button. This information is on page 8 of the operating instructions; however, it is not completely clear at that point what the steps are to change the component button for a cable box. To change the component refer to pages 32 and 33. The procedure is: Press S (set) button - all component buttons will flash Press CBL/SAT button - only this button will stay lit Press the Play ( > ) button down and the number ( 9 is for cable box ) of the component you want to assign at the same time The component button light will go off Press ENT(enter) At this time you must go back to the instructions on page 8 to enter the correct three digit code. If you want to change the component button back to Satellite you must repeat this procedure and enter the number 3 and then re-enter the three digit brand code. If you have both satellite and cable box then you will want to decide which other component button you wish to re-assign. To operate non-preset components or functions, use the following "learning" procedure to "teach" any of the programmable buttons and keys to operate the functions of another remote control. NOTE: Some specific remote control signals may not be learned * ex: To program the PLAY signal of your component to the VCR1 (PLAY) key of the RM-VL900: 1. Place the remote head to head with your component's remote control. - Make sure that the remotes are approximately 2 to 4" away. 2. Press and hold S (set) for over 3 seconds. The S (set) indicator lights up, and all Component Select buttons flash. 3. Press the Component Select button for the component whose signals are to be learned. Both the S (set) indicator and the selected Component button light up, and all other buttons turn off. If another signal has already been programmed on that Component button, the Component button of the "learned" component remains flashing. It says that way until you have changed the setting. Example: If "CD" has been set to VCR, VCR lights up and CD flashes. 4. Press the button on the Commander you want to "teach" Both the S (set) indicator and the Component button flash (Learning function standby) If another signal has already been "learned" by that button: The S (set) indicator flashes twice, and the Commander returns to its state in Step 3. Either "teach" to another free button, or clear the already "learned" function and start over from the beginning. 5. Press and hold the button on the other remote control, until both the S (set) indicator and the Component button light up again. During data transfer, only the S (set) indicator starts lit, and the Component button turns off. After data transfer is complete, the Commander returns to its state in Step 3. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to "teach" functions to other buttons. To LEARN another components remote control signal, after positioning the two remote commanders as in Step 1, press the corresponding Component Select button, then follow steps 4 and 5 on the left to perform learning. 7. Press S (set) to finish setting. NOTE: - If you do not perform learning steps within 20 seconds at any point during the process, learning mode ends. In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your non-Sony equipment with the supplied Remote Commander. This is because your equipment may use a code that is not provided with this Remote Commander. In this case, please use the equipment's own remote control unit.
