Customising the Remote
Code learning
The supplied remote comes with a complete library 
of pre-programmed codes. After you have set up the 
remote for your device, you may nd that there are 
one or more functions on your original remote which 
do not have a place on the keypad. For convenience, 
the remote oers a Code Learning feature that allows 
you to copy up to 16 functions from an original 
remote control onto the remote keypad.
Before you start, make sure that:
 < The original remote control is working correctly.
 < The remotes are not pointing at your device.
 < The remotes have fresh batteries.
 < The remotes are not in direct sunlight or under strong 
fluorescent lights.
NOTE
Learned functions are mode-dependent. You 
could assign up to eight dierent functions to a 
single key – a separate learned function for each 
mode.
Direct code setup (Method 1)
The rst method is to program the remote with 
the 3-digit code number for the device you wish to 
control – see “device code tables”. Make a note of the 
suggested number or numbers – the most popular 
code is listed rst. Now power on the device. 
1.  Press the Device key for the product you want to set 
up, together with the   key. Hold down both buttons for 
three seconds until the LED stays lit.
You are now in setup mode, and you can release the 
buttons.
2.  Enter a 3-digit code for the device.
If the 3-digit code number you entered is correct for the 
device, it will turn off. If it doesn’t turn off, enter the next 
code number from your list until the device does turn off.
3.  Once you have found the correct code, press the Device 
key again. The LED blinks three times 
 to 
confirm that the code has been successfully stored.
Library search setup (Method 2)
Library search allows you to scan through all the 
codes contained in the remote’s memory. It can take 
a lot longer than the previous method, so only use 
this method if:
 < Your device does not respond to the remote after you 
have tried all the codes listed for your brand.
 < Your brand is not listed at all in the Device Code tables.
1.  Press the Device key for the product you want to set 
up, together with the   key. Hold down both buttons for 
three seconds until the LED stays lit.
2.  Point the remote control at the product you wish 
to control and press the 
 or 
 button on the 
navigation pad. Each time the 
 or 
 button 
is pressed, the code counts up (or down) one code 
number with a signal to power off the device.
3.  Continue pressing the up or down button, in 
approximately one second intervals, until the device 
turns off. (DO NOT alternate the up and down button – 
you need to move in only one direction.)
4.  To store the correct code, press the Device key again. 
The LED blinks three times 
 to confirm that 
the code has been successfully stored.
Learning setup (Method 3)
The third method involves ‘teaching’ the Arcam 
remote from the original remote for the device. The 
two remotes should be facing each other, about 
10cm apart.
1.  Press the Device key for the product you want to set up, 
together with the   key. Hold down both buttons for 
three seconds until the LED stays lit.
2.  Press the button on the Arcam remote that you want to 
assign a command to. The LED blinks once 
 indicating 
that the remote is ready to learn the command.
3.  Press and hold the appropriate key on the other remote 
until the LED blinks twice 
 . This indicates the 
Arcam remote has learned the command from your 
other remote.
4.  Continue learning the commands from your other 
remote by pressing the next button on the remote and 
repeating steps 2 and 3. 
5.  Once the remote has learned all the selected commands, 
press and hold the Device key you used to enter learning 
together with the Numeric   key to store the learned 
commands.
NOTE
If the Arcam remote LED blinks ve times 
 there was an error in the learning 
process. In this case, please start the Learning 
Setup from the start.
The   and   keys do not learn commands.
Important notes
 < Once you start a Code Learning session, you have 
approximately ten seconds to conduct each step. Any 
longer, and a timeout means that you’ll have to start the 
process again.
 < The Learning feature is mode-specific – you can copy 
one feature per mode onto a key.
 < The remote can learn approximately 16 functions in total.
 < To replace a learned function, simply assign a new 
function to the same key.
 < Learned functions are retained when you change 
batteries.
 < If Code Learning fails, try altering the distance between 
the two remotes; make sure that the ambient light is not 
too bright.
Deleting the learned data
To delete all the learned data for a device:
1.  Press the Device key for the product you want to set up, 
together with the   key. Hold down both buttons for 
three seconds until the LED stays lit.
2.  Press and hold down the Device key for the product 
that you want to erase, together with the   key for three 
seconds until the LED blinks twice 
.
3.  If no further key presses are made for 30 seconds after 
the LED blinks twice 
, the remote leaves erase 
mode without deleting the learned data.

remote’s power LED is indicated by the symbol
