5.2. Programming (Learning Function)

This remote control learns commands from your original remote. You will need your original, working remote control for this process.

1. Preparation: Place the Serounder learning remote and your original remote control on a flat surface, facing each other, with their infrared emitters 2-5 cm (1-2 inches) apart.
2. Enter Learning Mode: Press and hold the POWER button and the CH ▲ (Channel Up) button on the Serounder remote simultaneously for approximately 4 seconds. The LED indicator on the Serounder remote will start blinking continuously, indicating it is in learning mode. Release both buttons.
3. Select Button to Program: Briefly press the button on the Serounder remote that you wish to program (e.g., POWER, VOL +, CH ▲). The LED will blink slowly, waiting for a signal.
4. Transmit Command: Press and hold the corresponding button on your original remote control for at least 2 seconds. While receiving the command, the LED on the Serounder remote will blink slowly. Once the command is successfully received, the LED will blink rapidly three times, then remain steadily lit for a few seconds.
5. Repeat for Other Buttons: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each button you wish to program (e.g., VOL -, CH ▼, AV).
6. Exit and Save: After programming all desired buttons, press and hold the POWER button and the CH ▲ (Channel Up) button on the Serounder remote simultaneously again to exit learning mode and save the programmed settings. The LED will turn off.

Important Notes:

• If the LED blinks four times quickly and then once longer (4&1 pattern), it indicates the command was not understood. Please repeat the programming step for that button.
• Ensure the original remote has fresh batteries for optimal signal transmission during programming.
• Some original remotes may require holding the button for a slightly longer duration to transmit the full signal.
