3. The SELECT A DEVICE message will appear
in the LCD display (Figure 20). Press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Buttons o to scroll through the list
of device categories and press the
Set Button
q when the device for which you wish to set
the codes appears. For this example, we will
select “TV” to enter the codes needed to
operate your TV.
4. The next menu screen (Figure 30) will prompt you
to select the button, or “key,” on the DPR remote
that you wish to program. Press that button on
the DPR remote.

5. Once you press the button to be programmed on
the DPR remote, press and hold the button on the
remote control for the device to be programmed
within five seconds, as instructed on the next
menu screen (Figure 31).

6. Continue to hold the button on the original remote
until the menu on the DPR remote’s LCD screen
changes. If the code is successfully learned, you will
see the display shown in Figure 32.
Figure 32
If you see that menu, proceed to Step 9. If the code
is
not successfully learned, you will see the display
shown in Figure 33. If that menu appears, proceed
to Steps 7 and 8.

7. If the message shown in Figure 33 appears in
the display, press the
Set Button q to try pro-
gramming the button again. When the remote
prompts you to press and hold the key on the
original remote again by showing the display
shown in Figure 31, immediately press the button
on the source remote again. To avoid another
failed attempt, make certain that the windows on
the two remotes are facing one another.
8. Continue to hold the button on the original remote
until the LCD display changes again. If the code
was successfully learned, you will see the display
shown in Figure 32. In that case, go to Step 9.
If the
LEARN FAILED display (Figure 33)
appears again, you may either try to program the
key again, or press the
⁄
Navigation Button
o to stop the process. It is possible that some
remotes may use code sequences or infrared fre-
quencies that are not compatible with the DPR
remote, and those codes cannot be learned.
When the display shown in Figure 34 appears,
press the
Set Button q to exit the Learning
system.
Figure 34
9. When a code has been learned successfully, you
have three options. When the display shown in
Figure 32 is on the LCD screen on the DPR
remote, you may press the
Set Button q to
learn additional codes from the buttons on a
source remote into the DPR remote. Follow Steps
4 through 6 as often as needed to complete the
code-learning process.
10. If you wish to change the name that appears in
the LCD display when the button that has just
had a new code learned is pressed, press the
⁄
Navigation Button o so that the display
shown in Figure 35 appears in the LCD display.
Press the
Set Button q to be taken to a
RENAME KEY display. Enter the new name for
the key following the instructions shown in the
Renaming Individual Keys section of this manual
on page 49. If you find it more convenient to
rename the buttons at a later time, you may do
that separately by following the instructions on
page 48.

11. When you have programmed all keys for the
desired device, press the
⁄
Navigation
Button
o twice when the LEARN MENU
(Figure 32) appears so that you see the display
shown in Figure 36. Press the
Set Button q
to return the remote to normal operation.

12. If you wish to program the codes for another
device, repeat the procedure outline above, but
select a different device in Step 3.
Changing Devices
In the factory default settings, the DPR remote is
programmed so that the commands transmitted
correspond to the device selected by pressing one
of the
Input Selectors
3
. This is logical, as you
want the remote to control the device you have selected.
However, in some circumstances you may have con-
figured your system so that the devices connected
to the DPR 1005 do not correspond to the default
device settings and the legends printed on the remote.
For example, if your system has two VCRs you may
connect the second VCR to the VID 2 input. There is
no problem in doing that, but in normal operation the
commands issued after selecting the VID 2 input are
for a television, not a VCR.
The DPR remote allows you to correct that situation
through the “Changing Devices” process. This enables
you to assign the codes from one type of device to
a different button. For example, in the steps below,
we will explain how to program the VID 2 buttons to
provide the commands to operate a VCR. Of course,
you may program the remote to have any of the
devices take on the code set of any other device, as
your system requires. And, with the DPR remote’s
“Rename” function, you can even change the way
the name of the device appears on the remote’s LCD
display so that you see exactly which commands are
being sent.
To program the buttons normally assigned to one
device for the commands of another, follow these
steps:
1. Press and hold the
Program Button
O
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 18 appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display
2
. Release the button
when the red light under the
Set Button q
appears.
2. The remote’s
MAIN MENU message (Figure
18), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set
Button
q will remain illuminated in red. Press
the
⁄
Navigation Button o twice so that
CHANGE DEVICE appears on the bottom line
of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 37. Press
the
Set Button q to begin the process of
reassigning the commands used for a particular
device.

3. The next menu display is where you select the
Input Select, or device, that you wish to change.
When the display shown in Figure 38 appears,
press the

through the list to find the device you wish to use
for another function. In this case we will select
