4.6 Learning key functions
If you miss certain functions from your original remote
control, the SRU 8112 can learn these functions from the
original remote control.
Tips on learning key functions
•
Only one original remote type should be learned per
individual mode.
•
First clear all learned functions for a device mode
(TV, DVD, DVDR,VCR, etc.) to make sure there are no
previously learned functions for that mode.
For this, refer to ‘Clearing all learned functions for a
device mode’ hereafter.
•
In ‘Learn’ mode, you will see a red ‘halo’ around the
transmit icon at the bottom left of the display.
During learning this ‘halo’ starts flashing.When the ‘halo’
flashes very fast, the IR transmitter (original remote
control) and the IR receiver (SRU 8112) are correctly
aligned and on proper distance from each other.
To achieve this, gently move the original remote control
around, without lifting it up, until the ‘halo’ flashes very
fast.The remote controls are then in the right position
and should not be moved during learning.
•
Note that the IR receiver, used for learning key functions,
of the SRU 8112 is located at the bottom of the remote
control.
•
•
Some functions of some types of remote control might
not be learned.
When learning, you should normally not release the key
being learned until the display prompts you to do so.
However, some keys might be learned multiple times if
you do this. If this happens, just ’tap’ the key you want to
learn, rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that
you normally hold down for awhile (like volume up or
down) will likely require a long press when learning.
Keys that you normally give a quick press (like the
numbers, and channel up/down) will likely require a quick
press when learning. If after learning, say, the channel-up
key, you find that it changes multiple channels when
pressed once, try relearning it with a short key press.
Keep at least 1 metre (3.3 feet) away from incandescent
or low-energy lights when learning.
•
16
Extra possibilities
•
•
You can store a function under any of the available keys,
except under HOME, MODE, MORE and FAVORITE,
USER 1 and USER 2.
Use fresh batteries for both the learning and the original
remote control.
Learning
40 mm
(1.6 inch)
1
Place both remote controls on a flat surface (like a coffee
table) and aim them in such way that the IR transmitter
(at the top) of the original remote control points at the
IR receiver (at the bottom) of the SRU 8112. Keep about
40 mm in between the remote controls.You may need to
adjust the height of one of the remote controls to achieve
this.

Press the HOME key and select ‘Setup’ in the ‘Home’
menu.

Select ‘Learn’.
Select ‘Side keys’ or ‘Main keys’.
Select device and follow the on-screen instructions until
‘Success! Key learned’ is displayed.
• The key has now successfully learned the new function.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to learn other keys.
6
If learning fails:
• Check that the IR transmitter (original remote control) and
the IR receiver (SRU 8112) are correctly aligned.
For this, refer to ‘Tips on learning key functions’.
• Adjust the distance between the two remote controls
(closer or further away) until the red ‘halo’ flashes very fast.
For this, refer to ‘Tips on code learning’.
• Try learning the original remote keys again.
• If problems reoccur with the same key, check if the original
remote control is transmitting and operates the target
device.
• Clear all learned settings and try learning again.
Labelling learned keys
When a key has successfully learned a new function, you can
label the key.

Frequently asked questions
In this chapter you find answers to the most frequently asked
questions about your universal remote control.
Setup
I cannot enter the ‘Home’ mode.
Battery level too low.
•
Replace the old batteries with three new AA batteries.

device. For example, if you have a TV / DVD combo, you might
need to set up the remote control for both TV and DVD to
operate your TV / DVD combo.
I cannot find the brand of my device.
Not all brands are available in the data base of the remote
control.
•
When in ‘Home’ mode (‘Home’,‘Setup’,‘Devices’), select
‘No’ when asked if you know the brand name of your
device.The remote control will perform a full database
search.This may take up to 5 minutes.
Or:
•
Try copying key functions from the original remote
control. For this, refer to chapter 4.6 ‘Learning key
functions’.
Operation

mute keys of the amplifier / receiver.
If the remote control was not set up for TV, amplifier and / or
reciver, the volume and mute keys will not work.To activate
the keys:
•
Set up the remote control for TV, amplifier and / or
receiver. For this, refer to chapter 4.2 ‘Devices - Adding
devices’.
