the CR450

Code learning

e CR450 comes with a complete library of pre-

programmed codes. Aer you have set up the CR450

for your device, you may nd that there are one or more

functions on your original remote which do not have a

place on the CR450 keypad. For convenience, the CR450

oers a Code Learning feature that allows you to copy

up to 16 functions from an original remote control onto

the CR450 keypad.

Before you start, make sure that:

e original remote control is working correctly.

e remotes are not pointing at your device.

e remotes have fresh batteries.

e remotes are not in direct sunlight or under

stronguorescentlights.

NOTE

Learned functions are mode-dependent. You could

assign up to eight dierent functions to a single key

– a separate learned function for each mode.

Direct code setup (Method 1)

e rst method is to program the remote with the

3-digit code number for the device you wish to control

– see “device code tables”. Make a note of the suggested

number or numbers – the most popular code is listed

rst. Now power on the device.

1. Press the Device key for the product you want to

set up, together with the

key. Hold down both

buttons for three seconds until the LED stays lit.

You are now in setup mode, and you can release the

buttons.

2. Enter a 3-digit code for the device.

If the 3-digit code number you entered is correct for

the device, it will turn o. If it doesn’t turn o, enter

the next code number from your list until the device

does turn o.

3. Once you have found the correct code, press the

Device key again. e LED blinks three times

***

to conrm that the code has been

successfully stored.

Library search setup (Method 2)

Library search allows you to scan through all the

codes contained in the CR450’s memory. It can take a

lot longer than the previous method, so only use this

method if:

Your device does not respond to the CR450 aer you

have tried all the codes listed for your brand.

Your brand is not listed at all in the Device Code

tables.

1. Press the Device key for the product you want to

set up, together with the

key. Hold down both

buttons for three seconds until the LED stays lit.

2. Point the remote control at the product you wish

to control and press the

button on the

navigation pad. Each time the

button

is pressed, the code counts up (or down) one code

number with a signal to power o the device.

3. Continue pressing the up or down button, in

approximately one second intervals, until the device

turns o. (DO NOT alternate the up and down

button – you need to move in only one direction.)

4. To store the correct code, press the Device key again.

e LED blinks three times

***

to conrm

that the code has been successfully stored.

Learning setup (Method 3)

e third method involves ‘teaching’ the CR450 remote

from the original remote for the device. e two remotes

should be facing each other, about a metre apart.

1. Press the Device key for the product you want to

set up, together with the

key. Hold down both

buttons for three seconds until the LED stays lit.

2. Press the button on the CR450 that you want to

assign a command to. e LED blinks once

indicating that the remote is ready to learn the

command.

3. Press and hold the appropriate key on the other

remote until the LED blinks twice

. is

indicates the CR450 has learned the command from

your other remote.

4. Continue learning the commands from your other

remote by pressing the next button on the remote

and repeating steps 2 and 3.

5. Once the remote has learned all the selected

commands, press and hold the Device key you used

to enter learning together with the Numeric

key

to store the learned commands.

NOTE

If the CR450 LED blinks ve times

*****

there was an error in the learning process. In this

case, please start the Learning Setup from the start.

e

and

keys do not learn commands.

Important notes

Once you start a Code Learning session, you have

approximately ten seconds to conduct each step. Any

longer, and a timeout means that you’ll have to start

the process again.

e Learning feature is mode-specic – you can

copy one feature per mode onto a key.

e CR450 can learn approximately 16 functions in

total.

To replace a learned function, simply assign a new

function to the same key.

Learned functions are retained when you change

batteries.

If Code Learning fails, try altering the distance

between the two remotes; make sure that the

ambient light is not too bright.

Deleting the learned data

To delete all the learned data for a device:

1. Press the Device key for the product you want to

set up, together with the

key. Hold down both

buttons for three seconds until the LED stays lit.

2. Press and hold down the Device key for the product

that you want to erase, together with the

;

key for

three seconds until the LED blinks twice

3. If any further key press is not made for 30 seconds

aer the LED blinks twice

, the remote leaves

erase mode without deleting the learned data.

4. If you press the Device key one more time within

30 seconds aer LED blinks twice

, you can

nish the erase mode deleting all the data learned on

the Device. e LED blinks three times

2. Press and hold down the key on which you want to

delete the data for three seconds. e LED blinks

NOTE

On the following pages, a single ‘blink’ of the

CR450’s power LED is indicated by the symbol

Locking/Unlocking a specific

Device Mode

When you rst unpack your CR450 and insert the

batteries, it is able to control certain Arcam components

automatically (e.g. BD players, Ampliers, Tuners and

CD Players). We achieve this by programming specic

Arcam device codes onto the relevant Device Mode

keys, then locking the Device Modes so you don’t

reprogram them inadvertently.

If you want to override these locked default settings – to

control a third-party BD player, for example – you will

rst need to unlock BD Mode before setting up the

CR450 using one of the learning methods described on

the previous page.

Here are the factory default settings:

Device Mode Default status Default codes

AMP

Locked 001 (Arcam code 16)

Locked 001 (Arcam)

Unlocked 108 (Philips TV)

VCR

Unlocked Code learning only

GAME

Unlocked Code learning only

STB

Unlocked Dish network STB

SAT

Unlocked 128 (Sky+ Digital, from

SAT database)

PVR

Unlocked 018 (Humax PVR, from

SAT database)

Locked 001 (Arcam)

Alternative codes are available for multi-room solutions,

or in the case of code clashes with other manufacturer’s

products.

For example:

AMP (system code 19) : 002

Note that you need to change the system code on the

product you wish to control, as well as the CR450.

1. AMP, BD, CD and TUN are the Device keys that may be

Locked or Unlocked.

Lock and Unlock are toggles (they change from Lock

to Unlock to Lock, etc.).

2. Press and hold the Device and

keys together for

three seconds.

e power LED stays lit, showing that it is in Lock/

Unlock setup mode.

Reading stored code numbers

1. Press the Device key for the product that you want

to set up together with the

key. Hold down both

keys for three seconds until the LED blinks.

2. Press the

key and count the number of blinks

(

=1,

=2,

***

=3, etc.). ere is a time

gap between digits. (Note that ‘0’ is represented by

ten blinks:

**********

3. If there is no further key input for 30 seconds, the

LED goes o and the remote leaves Lock/Unlock

setup mode.

4. To verify the status of a device, press the

3 6 9

keys in sequence:

If Lock is set, the LED blinks three times:

remote leaves Lock/Unlock setup mode.

Controlling the volume of other

devices

By default, the volume keys and mute key (

and

) control the amplier volume.

You can congure these buttons so they send volume

commands to another device. In the following example,

the volume commands are sent to a linked AV device

(your television, for instance):

1. Press

for three seconds, until the LED lights

and stays on.

2. Press

3. Press

again. e LED blinks three times

***

e

and

keys will now send the volume

commands to the TV.

To set the volume buttons to control the amplier once

more, repeat the above steps, except press

in step 3.

All programming and setup codes that you have entered

into the remote are erased and the remote returns to the

original factory default settings.

Device codes

e tables that begin on page 49 (in the nal section

of this Handbook) list 3-gure codes for dierent

manufacturers’ devices.

Use these when setting your CR450 up to control your

devices, as described in Direct code setup: Method 1

(see previous page).

If more than one code number is listed, try the rst

number. If the results are unsatisfactory, continue trying

the numbers for that manufacturer to get the best ‘t’

with the functionality required.

If the manufacturer of your equipment is not listed, you

can try Library search setup: Method 2 (see previous

page). is method allows you to scan through every

code contained in the CR450’s memory.
