setup control systems available. The Automator’s built-in library includes thousands of different brands and models of remote controls. In most systems, all you have to do to setup the Automator is enter which brands and models you own. If you own a component too new to be in the library, the Automator uses advanced DoubleTapTM Learning technology to quickly set each Automator button, one at a time. Setting up your Automator to replace all your existing remote controls can be done in a few minutes. Basic Setup is described on pages 5 to 14. The Automator’s exciting advanced features automate and customize operation in many ways. You could use Macro Setup to power on all of your components and start the show with the press of one button! With the Automator’s unique Favorite Channel capability, you can tune in a channel with the press of one button instead of entering the entire channel number. Any of the button names on the display can be edited as you like. It is best to delay any Advanced Setup (described on pages 15 to 29) until after you finish Basic Setup. Battery Installation Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing up the cover lock. Insert four AAA batteries into the battery compartment as shown in the diagram. 2 T h e A u t o m a t o r + + + + - - - -

Button Layout MAIN Button takes you to the MAIN Menu. LIGHT Button PAGE Numbers FUNCTION Buttons TITLE FAVORITE CHANNEL Button PAGE Buttons change the page of Display Buttons. Screen Labeled Display Buttons

Selecting a New DEVICE Changes All Button Commands Instantly The Automator can operate ten different devices even though it is only one remote control. Let’s try it now! Press the MAIN button, then press the TV DEVICE button. The top of the screen changes from MAIN to TV. Now all of the buttons change their function to operate a TV. Press the page buttons. Watch the labels of the display buttons change with each press. There are five pages of display buttons already labeled for TV operation. To operate another of your components (e.g., VCR, DVD, etc.), press the MAIN button to return to the MAIN menu. The MAIN menu displays five of your Devices on the screen. Simply press one of the screen-labeled Device buttons to operate another device. If you don’t see the device name you want, then use the PAGE buttons to display the remaining five devices on page 2 of the MAIN menu. Light Button Press the LIGHT button to backlight all the buttons. To turn off the backlighting, press the LIGHT button again, or just wait ten seconds (the backlighting automatically shuts itself off). TV DEVICE Button MAIN Button LIGHT Button

Basic Setup You can start setting up your Automator using either the Pre-Programmed Method or the Learning Method. However, all the buttons of the Automator are setup at once with the Pre-Programmed Method, so it is usually faster than the one-button-at-a-time Learning Method. Pre-Programmed Method Power on the A/V component you wish to setup, so that you can test codes by sending power off commands. Refer to the pre-programmed code tables on pages 33 - 47 and write down the code numbers listed for your A/V component. The code numbers are listed by categories of devices, then by brand. See page 33 for a category list. Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for approximately three seconds. The top of the display will show “SETUP”. You are in SETUP mode now. Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button within that time, the Automator will time out and return to normal operation. MAIN Button ENT Button 1 2 3

Press the P-PRO button to select the Pre-Programmed Method. The display changes so that you can select which Device button to setup. In this step you choose the name of the device you’d like to setup. Use the cursor UP or DOWN buttons to change the flashing name. When it is correct, press the SELECT button. For Example: I wanted to setup the TV Device button first, so I pressed the cursor UP or DOWN until “TV” was flashing in the display. The bottom of the display will flash “FROM TABLE”. 4 5 P-PRO Button Press a Page button to display the other five Device names. UP SELECT DOWN First Five Device Names

In this step you verify the type of component you plan to operate with this device button. If the flashing name is correct, press SELECT. If the name flashing in the display is incorrect (for example, you are setting up AUX to operate a Laser Disc Player), use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the flashing name to the correct type of component. Note: Each name that appears in the display may include several types of components. For example, the DVD category includes DVD players and Laser Disc Players. See page 33 for a list of component types each Code Table contains. Point the Automator at the component, then enter the first three digit code number from your notes using the numbered buttons. After you enter each three digit number, look at the component to see if it turned off. Continue to enter code numbers until the component powers off. For Example: I have a Sony TV. I found the code numbers 070, 139,147, 126, 185, 194 and 085 under Sony in the TV TABLE. Using the numbered buttons on the Automator, I entered 070 and looked at the TV. It didn’t turn off, so I entered 139, then 147 and so on, until I found the code that powered off the TV. 7 6 SELECT Use the number buttons to enter the code number.

Note: If your component fails to turn off after you have entered all the code numbers listed for your brand, you can scan through the other brands in the table by alternately pressing the UP (or DOWN) and POWER OFF buttons. When the component turns off, save the code number you entered by pressing the SAVE button that appears on the screen. Exit SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button two times. 8 9 SAVE Button Code Number You Entered MAIN Button Scan Up to the next Code Number Scan Down to the previous Code Number

When the display shows “MAIN”, you are back in normal operating mode. Now it’s time to test all the buttons. If some buttons don’t work, try repeating steps 1-9, to see if you can improve the match to your component. For Example: My Sony TV powered off with TV code number 139. However the number buttons didn’t work when I tested them. So, I repeated steps one to ten, using other code numbers and eventually discovered that when code number 185 is set, all the buttons work perfectly. Repeat steps one through nine for each of your devices. In most systems, you can finish basic setup in just a few minutes and put all your old remote controls away. If you are still missing commands to control any of your devices, use the Learning Method on the next page. 10 11

Learning Method The Automator can learn commands from your old remote controls one-button-at-a-time by following these simple steps: Line-up the Automator with your old remote con- trol, head-to-head, one or two inches apart. Press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time for approximately three seconds. The top of the display will show “SETUP”. You are in SETUP mode now. Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button within that time, the Automator will time out and return to normal operation. Press the LEARN button. The top of the screen will change to “LEARN”. 1 2 3 LEARN Button

The display will show a list of the first five devices. Select the device you would like to teach commands to by pressing the Device button. Press any button you want to teach a command to. Note: If you don’t see the display button you would like to teach, use the PAGE buttons. The only buttons you can’t teach are the PAGE and MAIN buttons. Once you press a button, the top of the display will change from “LEARN” to “READY”. 4 5 6 Press any of the Device Buttons. Press any Button.

Press and hold the button on your old remote con- trol until the display changes to “RETRY”. Press and hold the same button on your old remote control once again. The Automator’s unique DoubleTap learning technology ensures compatibility with the widest variety of remote controls ever! Once you have taught the button twice, the display will change to either “GOOD” or “FAILED”. If the “GOOD” label appears on top of the display, you were successful. Now, press the next button you wish to teach. Keep repeating steps 6 through 9 until you have learned all the buttons you want. If the “FAILED” label appears on top of the display, try to teach the same button in Automator once again by repeating steps 6-8. Continue to teach any commands from any of your remote controls by repeating steps 5-9 (to go back to step five, press MAIN once). Once you completed teaching all the buttons, return to normal operation by pressing the MAIN button twice. Test all your new commands. If any of them don’t work, try learning again using these notes: Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sunlight, halogen or quartz lighting can interfere with the learning process. Although the old remote control seems to work fine, change the batteries to fresh alkaline batteries. Vary the distance between the remote controls gradually. Try 1/4”, 1”, 2”and so on, up to 4 feet. Tap the button on the original remote control instead of pressing and holding it during the learning process. 10 11 8 9 7

Volume Control Punch Through In most home entertainment systems, the sound volume is only controlled by one device. In some systems, it is the TV speakers that make the sound, so you would use the TV device on the Automator to raise and lower the volume. In another system, it might be a surround sound receiver and speakers that control the sound, so you would use the Automator’s AUDIO device to adjust the volume. Constantly switching the Automator to TV or AUDIO to adjust the volume is inconvenient in daily life. You can use Punch Through to set the Automator’s volume buttons to always control the sound in your system. That way when the Automator is set to VCR or DVD, the volume up, down and mute buttons will work perfectly without switching back to AUDIO or TV. Here’s how: Enter Setup mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. The top of the display shows that you are in SETUP mode now. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically. Press the PAGE UP button to get to page 2 of the SETUP menu. Press the PUNCH button. Press the VOL button. The display confirms by displaying “VOL” at the top of the screen. This sets up the group of three buttons (Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute) in one action! 1 3 2 Select Volume

Press the device button for the device that doesn’t have volume control commands yet (i.e.,DVD). This is the device you are going to PUNCH TO for the volume and mute commands. Note: If you wish to PUNCH to the MAIN device, press the POWER OFF button at this time. The bottom of the display will then flash “PUNCH FROM”. Now you select the device that has the volume commands you want (i.e.,TV for systems using the TV speakers, AUDIO for systems with surround sound receivers). The bottom of the display will flash “SAVED”. Repeat steps 3-5 until all your devices operate the volume perfectly. Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operating mode and test your Punch Through settings. Note: The Punch Through feature is not limited to volume and can also be applied to channel or other functions. If you find yourself switching to a particular device frequently to use a group of controls, consider using Punch Through for another group, as listed here: VOL - Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute CH - Channel Up, Channel Down and Prev. Channel PLAY - Play, Stop, Pause, Rewind and Fast Forward VOD - Guide, Menu, Info, Exit, Up, Down, Left, Right, Sel POWER - Power On and Power Off 14 T h e A u t o m a t o r 4 5 6 Select the Device you want to “Punch To”

Advanced Operation Setting Backlight Options You can adjust the amount of time that the Automator backlight stays on by entering the SETUP mode and proceeding to page two (using the PAGE UP button), then pressing the LIGHT button on the display (not the Backlight button). Then enter the amount of time you would like the light to stay on using the number pad (0-99 seconds). After making your selection, press the SAVE button. If you don’t want backlighting at all (this extends battery life), press the ON button that appears on the screen. The ON will change to OFF. Press the SAVE button. Exit the setup mode by pressing the MAIN button. The FAV Button When you press the FAV button, the display changes to a list of your favorite TV channels. Each button can be set to instantly select the channel on your TV. There are eight pages of five favorite channel buttons for a total of 40. Simply touch the PAGE buttons to display the other favorite channels. To return to the last device you viewed, press MAIN once (a second press will take you to the MAIN menu). To setup your Favorite Channel buttons go to page 22. Favorite Channel Buttons FAV Button

Adjusting Contrast You can make the text darker by pressing both the MAIN and cursor UP buttons at the same time. To make the text appear lighter, press both the MAIN and cursor DOWN buttons at the same time. Transmitting (Busy Signal) Icon When a command is being transmitted, an icon will appear in the top right corner of the display. It is a useful aid when setting up Macros and FAVs, since it flashes with every step of a sequence of commands. Contrast set low. Cursor Up & Down Buttons MAIN Button Contrast set high.

Advanced Setup After you’ve finished all your basic setup, you can choose to make operation easier by customizing the Automator just the way you want, using the Advanced Setup features described in this section. Editing Button Labels You can change the name of any of the display buttons (including Favorite Channels) by following these steps: Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for approximately three seconds. The top of the display will show “SETUP”. You are in SETUP mode now. Note: You have 30 seconds to perform a step while you are in SETUP mode. If you don’t press a button within that time, the Automator will time out and return to normal operation. Press the EDIT button. The display changes to the EDIT menu. Press the TEXT button. 1 2 3 EDIT Button TEXT Button

The screen displays the list of devices and “EDIT” will appear at the top of the screen. Navigate to the device and page where there is a button label you want to EDIT, selecting between the FAV, MAIN, DEVICE; then using the PAGE button. Note : If you wish to change the name of a DEVICE button, press the Page Up button twice. The top of the display changes to MAIN, and you can navigate to MAIN page 1 or page 2 before going on to Step 5. Press the button you wish to edit. The first character of your button label blinks. 5 4 Blinking Character EDIT flashes at the bottom of the screen. DOWN Cursor button deletes the currently blinking character. UP Cursor button deletes ALL text. LEFT Cursor button moves blinking character left. RIGHT Cursor button moves blinking character right.

Change the character by using any of the number keys. Each press of the same number button selects the next character of that number’s group, as shown below. Once the character you want appears, move to the next space by pressing the RIGHT cursor button. When you are finished editing the button, press the button you edited and “SAVED” will flash at the bottom of the display. To change any other button labels on the same device, press the next button, then repeat steps 6-8. If you wish to edit a button on another device, press the MAIN button once, then repeat Steps 4-8. Once you’ve finished editing buttons, press the MAIN button four times to return to normal operation. 6 7 8 9 A,B,C,1 D,E,F,2 G,H,I,3 J,K,L,4 M,N,O,5 P,Q,R,6 S,T,U,7 V,W,X,8 Y,Z,9

Macro Button Setup Imagine turning on your TV, your DVD player and your surround sound receiver by pressing a single button on your Automator! What would normally take three remotes and three button pushes, the Automator can accomplish with the press of one button. We call that a “Macro”. Any of the Display buttons, the Power On or the Power Off buttons (on any Device or Page) can be set to be Macro buttons! To setup a macro button, follow these easy steps: Enter the SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically. Press the MACRO button. The top of the display will show “MACRO”. The bottom of the display will flash “SELECT”. Navigate to the Device and Page where there is a button you would like to set as a Macro button using the MAIN, DEVICE, and PAGE buttons. Advanced Options: If you wish to set one of the DEVICE buttons as a macro, on step 3, press the Page Up button twice. The top of the display changes to MAIN, and you can navigate to MAIN page 1 or page 2 before going on to Step 4. Another option for DEVICE button macros is to only send the macro if the button is pressed and held. This is setup by entering a delay as the first step of the macro. The amount of delay determines how long the user must press the button before the macro is sent. The advantage of this option is that a normal press of the DEVICE button will simply switch devices without issuing the macro. 1 2 3

Press the button you want to set as a Macro button. The top of the screen will display the label of the button you selected. At the bottom of the screen it displays “STEP0”, indicating that no macro steps have been entered yet. Navigate to the Device and Page that has a button you want in your macro using the MAIN, DEVICE and PAGE buttons. Then press the button with the command you want. Whenever a button is pressed, another Macro step is counted and displayed at the bottom of the screen. Don’t worry about the number of steps. Each macro button can store up to 190 steps, so you are not likely to run out of steps! Note: You can program delays in between commands by pressing the PAUSE button. Each press adds half a second to the delay. Press the LIGHT button to end your macro. A new screen displays three choices: Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operation. 4 5 6 7 SAVE Button SAVE — UNDO — EXIT — If you are happy with your macro, press the SAVE button. The UNDO button lets you erase the last step. The EXIT button erases all the macro steps.

Favorite Channel Setup Imagine surfing all your favorite channels, without ever typing in a channel number. By simply setting up each of the favorite channel buttons, you can make TV, cable or satellite operation fun and easy. To setup a Favorite Channel button, follow these steps: Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically. Press the FAV display button. The top of the display will show “FAV”. The bot- tom of the display will flash “SELECT”. Use the Page buttons until you can see the name (i.e., ABC, CBS, NBC) of the favorite channel you wish to setup. Press the favorite channel button you wish to setup. The top of the screen changes to show the channel name. The bottom of the screen displays “STEP0”, indicating that you have not entered the channel number yet. Press either the TV, SAT or CABLE Device button (select the device you use to enter channel numbers). 1 2 FAV Button 3 4 5

Press each of the number buttons for the channel. Note: If a number is repeated when setting the channel (for example, channel “33” or “522”) it is usually best to set a half second delay in between the identical numbers by pressing the PAUSE button. Each press of the PAUSE button increases the delay by a half second. Note: Some brands of television require an ENT(Enter) command after the channel numbers. Press the LIGHT button after you enter the channel number. A new screen appears: To save the channel you entered, press the SAVE button. The UNDO button lets you erase the last entry. The EXIT button erases all entries for this button. When you are finished setting up Favorite Channel buttons, press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operation. 6 7 8 9 SAVE Button PAUSE Button

Hiding and Adding Pages Each of your Automator Devices actually contains eight pages. However, only five pages are visible in the factory default setting. Three pages are hidden in each device. If you wish to use the hidden pages, you can ADD them. If you don’t want to use some of the existing pages, you can HIDE them. You can add or hide pages on devices OR on your favorite channel pages using this simple process: Note: Be sure to program your Macros before you hide pages with potential macro in them. You can’t access hidden pages during macro setup. However, after you finish Macro setup, you can hide pages without affecting operation of your macros. Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically. Press the EDIT button. Press the PAGE button. 1 2 3 EDIT Button PAGE Button

“PAGE” appears at the top of the screen. Now, you can navigate to any page, using the MAIN, DEVICE, FAV, and PAGE buttons. When you select a page, the top of the screen indicates whether you want to “ADD?” or “HIDE?” the page displayed. When you would like to change a page’s visibility, press the LIGHT button. You can continue to ADD or HIDE pages on other devices by repeating Steps 4 and 5. When you are finished adding and hiding pages, press the MAIN button four times to return to normal operation. 4 5 6 7 DEVICE Buttons MAIN Button PAGE Buttons FAV Button This page is hidden. To ADD it, press the LIGHT button. This page is visible. To HIDE it, press the LIGHT button.

You can erase an individual button with a learned command, a macro or a favorite channel. You can erase an entire Device’s learned command or macro buttons. You can also erase ALL your learned com- mands on all devices or all your macros or favorite channels everywhere. If you really want a fresh start, it is possible to reset everything to the factory default condition. Erasing Learned Buttons, Macros or Favs Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically. Press a PAGE button to display page two of Setup. Press the ERASE button. Press either the LEARN, MACRO or FAV button. The following screen appears: 26 T h e A u t o m a t o r ALL — DEVICE— KEY— Erases all of the specified (Learned, Macro or FAV) buttons everywhere in the Automator.

If you press ALL, the Automator displays a SURE? button. After the SURE button is pressed, all the buttons will be erased. If you press DEVICE, a list of Devices will appear. Press the device button that you wish to erase. The bottom of the screen will flash ERASE twice, then ERASED. If you press KEY, you’ll have to navigate to the Device and Page you want using the MAIN, DEVICE and PAGE buttons. Press a button to erase it. The bottom of the display will flash ERASE twice, then ERASED. To return to normal operating mode, press the MAIN button four times. Erasing the Entire Automator To erase EVERYTHING, press and hold both the MAIN and the STOP buttons for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the RESET screen appears. Press the SURE button to erase all of your settings and return to the factory default setup. 5 6 SURE Button SURE Button

Cloning One Automator to Another If you own two or more Automators, you can copy and transfer all the setup from one Automator to another. Just follow these easy steps: Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically. Press a PAGE button to display page two of Setup. Press the CLONE button. Align the two Automators head-to-head, about an inch apart. Press the RECV display button on the new Automator you would like to setup by cloning. Press the SEND display button on the Automator you previously setup. Press the START button on the new Automator and then press the START button on the Automator you previously setup. Note: Cloning typically takes about 40 seconds. After completion, the cloned Automator will flash “GOOD”. Return to normal operation by pressing the MAIN button twice. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Recalling Pre-Programmed Settings If you didn’t write down the code numbers you setup your Automator with, you can recall them via this simple process: Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically. Go to page two of the SETUP menu via the PAGE UP button. Press the RECAL button. The display changes to the recall screens. The screen automatically switches between four screens, alternately flashing page one devices and code numbers then those for page two. Note: Pay attention to the page numbers on the bottom of the screen. Page 1 code numbers are the ones setup for the Page1 Devices. Page 2 code numbers are the ones setup for the Page 2 Devices. Write down the code numbers as they appear. Page 32 of this manual gives a convenient list for you to note your settings. Return to normal operation by pressing the MAIN button twice. 1 2 3 4 5

The Optional Expander You can use the Automator as you would your other remote controls. It transmits very powerful line-of-sight output using infrared light commands (invisible to the naked eye). When you point the Automator at the com- ponents, expect the range to be between 30 and 50 feet. When the remote is not pointed in the general direction of the components, the range will vary (depending on reflective surfaces, lighting, etc.). However, the Automator also sends radio signals in every direction. By purchasing the optional Expander (a radio receiver), you can operate your equipment with the Automator 50 to 100 feet away (through walls, doors, cabinets, inside or outside). Since the Expander picks up the Automator's radio signals from any direction, regardless of distance, the Automator doesn’t have to be pointed! Nothing has to be done to the Automator for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on the Automator, it sends both a standard infrared command AND a radio signal. If you install the Expander kit, the MRF-100 will receive the Automator’s radio signals and translate them into the infrared commands that control your components. Note: The Automator's radio signals will not control components directly. You must have an Expander to receive the Automator's radio signals. Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the Automator unless the component can be switched to standard infrared control via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the Automator.

The Expander converts radio signals to standard infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front blaster to components in the same cabinet space. The Automator sends radio signal to the Expander, which is a radio receiver. Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the Expander kit) affix to the front panels of your components. The flashers relay infrared com- mands to components out-of-sight of the MRF-100 front blaster. The flashers plug into the MRF-100 rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher has a 10’ cable to easily reach components on nearby shelves.

Pre-Programmed Code Notes Record the code numbers for your system here: TV CABLE DVD VCR AUDIO SAT CD VCR2 DVR AUX

Pre-Programmed Code Tables The Automator’s Pre-Programmed code library is divided into categories (TV, VCR, AUX, etc.). Each category actually includes many types of components. For example, the VCR category includes TV/VCR combo units. Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by brand (Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more than one three digit code for you to try.

Frequently Asked Questions What is a “macro” button? It is an Automator button you set to make a lot of things happen when you press it. For example, to watch a DVD in most home theaters requires several remote controls and many button presses (power up the TV, power up the surround sound, power up the DVD player, set the TV to the correct video input, set the surround sound to the correct audio input and finally; press play on the DVD player remote control). Instead of pressing all of those buttons one at a time, the Automator enables you to setup one button that does it all automatically with one press. For more information on how and why you should setup macro buttons, watch the Quick Setup DVD tutorial or read pages 20-21. If the batteries run out, will I lose my settings? No. The Automator stores all of your settings in non-volatile FLASH memory. You could remove the batteries for months, replace them at your convenience and the Automator would still remember your settings. Who can I call for more answers? The Universal Remote Control technical support and customer service staff are ready to answer any questions you might have. Call us at 1-914-835-4484 Monday - Friday, 9AM to 6PM (EST)
