Programming
Programming is an exercise unique to almost every installation,and the most difficult to
troubleshoot.Most common problems occur in training the MRC- 8e/ 8.4e to recognize and
recreate the Infrared signal that controls the source device.
Technique,and the flexibility to change your approach in programming will ultimately grant
you success.Typically the position,and duration of the key press on the donor remote during
the training exercise influence the success of the training routine.
Try to vary your approach in training.Try to get a little closer to the detector,or a little further
away.Try approaches like short bursts from the donor remote by tapping the key,as well as
longer (holding the key down).
Watch and wait for confirmation of a good signal from the MRC-8e/ 8.4e (3 quick green
flashes).Be patient,it may take an extra second or two longer to get a confirmation than you
may expect (especially on a short tap).
Ensure the appropriate device has been selected from the programming keypad.
If you’re skipping more than one track at a time when pressing the >> or << key,it is possi-
ble that the MRC- 8e/ 8.4e has trained to send multiple instances of that particular code.
Retrain the command and try a shorter single tap on the donor remote.
