COMPONENT CONTROL
The (C)A-LRC1 can control up to eight
different components. Perform the fol-
lowing instructions for each component
you want controlled:
Use VOL + (or VOL -) to raise (or
lower) the sound volume.
RE-ASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS
The (C)A-LRC1 can be set up to control a
second TV or VCR, or any combination of
eight home entertainment components.
1. On the (C)A-LRC1, press and hold

LEARNING CAPABILITY
3. Use the Setup Codes For TV/VCR
Combos (on the back side) to locate
the brand name and then enter the
first four-digit code for your compo-
nent. If performed correctly, the LED
will blink twice.
• The learner will support IR codes
with carrier frequency up to 135
kHz.
To op t i mize success, the learning process
should be conducted in an area where
there is a low level of IR emission. High
levels of “natural light” or energy effi-
cient fluorescent lights could interfere
with a learning event. The source and
target (learner) remotes should be no
more than 1 to 2 inches apart during a
learning event and the IR LEDs of the
two units should be aligned with each
other. The learning operation is initiated
as follows:
Use CH + (or CH -) to select the
next higher (or lower) channel.
2. Enter 9 - 9 - 3 and then press TV.
The LED will blink twice.
For example, to have the (C)A-LRC1
control a TV, a Cable Converter, and two
VCRs, you will need to re-assign the
key to operate the second VCR as fol-
lows:
• The unit can learn only one code per
key. It can’t be taught a sequence of
several keystrokes on one key.
NOTE: For TV/VCR Combo control, see the
next section.
Press LAST once to recall the last
channel and to page back one
screen in the main menu.
3. Now, whenever you press VOL +,
VOL –, or MUTE on the (C)A-LRC1,
volume will be controlled by your TV.
NOTE: If the LED did not blink twice, then
repeat steps 2 through 3 and try entering
the same code again.
1. Turn on a component (e.g.,VCR)
and, if applicable, insert media,
(e.g., cassette or disc).
• All keys with the exception of Modes,

Press SLEEP to activate your TV’s
sleep timer. Or if none is avail-
able, press SLEEP to activate the
(C)A-LRC1’s sleep timer for
automatic shut-off of your TV.
Each key press (up to four) add
15 minutes to the sleep timer.
1. On the (C)A-LRC1, press and hold
SETUP until the LED blinks twice,
then release SETUP.
4. Aim the (C)A-LRC1 at the component
and press PWR once. It should turn
off. If it does not respond, repeat steps
2-3, trying each code for your brand
until you find one that works. If it still
does not work, try searching for the
code (see Searching For Your Code).

The Record Key requires a double
key press to send the record function
in normal operation. The double key
press is lost when the Record key is
involved in most learning operations.
This lack of consistency in operation
generates a source of confusion for
