You can either
start from a blank device or “learn” all the keys or you can start with a
four-digit device code and customize it to meet your needs.
1: Line
up Blu-Link with the remote you want to “learn” from, head to head about one
to two inches apart on a solid surface.
Learning and
Teaching Set-Up Method
2: Enter
setup mode by holding the device button down for approximately 3 seconds. After
3 seconds all of the device buttons will blink to confirm that you are in setup
mode.
3: Press [Rec]
button to enter “learning” mode. Note:
You have 20 seconds to perform each of these steps. If you do not finish within
20 seconds, the device button light will turn off and setup mode will be
exited. Learned keys will be retained but to learn additional keys you will
need to reenter “learning” mode.
4: Press
the key on Blu-Link that you wish to teach. The device button will blink once to indicate
it is ready to learn.
5: Press
and hold the key on the other remote control you wish Blu-Link™ to learn. After
about one second the device button will blink once to indicate successful
learning or 4 times to indicate that it did not learn the key.
6: Repeat
from step 4 until you have learned all of the keys you wish to teach. You can
exit from learning either by waiting 20 seconds or by pressing another device
key to exit.
* To achieve the
best results during “learning” mode:
* If you are
having trouble, move away from any Plasma TV, avoid fluorescent lighting and
direct sunlight.
* Gradually vary
the distance between the two remote controls.
* Some original
remotes require you to tap the button to learn rather than holding it during
learning.
* Learning only
works on individual keys. Macros cannot be learned.
Remember, when
programming keys such as arrow keys, the orientation between the remotes is
reversed.
Forgetting
Learned Keys
1: Enter
setup mode by holding the device button down for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds all
of the device buttons will blink to confirm that you are in setup mode.
2: Enter
“forget” mode by pressing the Stop button. The device button will blink once to
indicate it is ready to forget the keys it learned.
3: Press
the key you wish to forget. If this key has learned anything, the device button
will blink once and revert to its original settings, otherwise, it will blink
four times in error.
4: Press
keys you wish to forget until you are done. When you are done, you can either
wait 10 seconds to time out or press another device button to exit.
Note: If you
had previously entered a four-digit device code, the forgotten keys will return
to their original settings.
Forgetting a
Device
1: Enter
setup mode by holding the device button down for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds all
of the device buttons will blink to confirm that you are in setup mode.
2: Enter
the code 9999 to erase the prior four-digit code and any learned keys for the
device. Note: Pressing any key besides
“9” during this mode will exit.
Forgetting all
Devices
1: Enter
factory-reset mode by holding down two device buttons for 3 seconds. After 3
seconds all of the device buttons turn on to confirm you are in factory-reset
mode.
2: Enter
the code 9999 to erase the prior four-digit code and any learned keys for all
devices. Note: Pressing any key besides
“9” during this mode will exit.
Controlling
Volume (Punch Through)
In a fairly
typical setup with a TV, PS3 and Cable box, there is only one device that
controls the sound. It would be difficult to switch devices between Cable and
TV every time you want to change the volume. By default, Blu-Link is set so
that regardless of what device you are using, when you change the volume, it is
sent to the TV. This is called “punch through.” When you press any key on
Blu-Link, the device button will light to show what device is receiving that
command. For example, when you are watching a DVD and hit Pause, the DVD button
will light. When you hit Mute, the TV button will light.
Volume Punch
Through is completely customizable. For example, if you have a surround sound
system, you may want volume commands to be sent there instead of the TV. To do
this, you would set the surround sound system as the sound master.
Setting Sound
Master
The sound
master can be set for any device that supports volume up and volume down. To
change from the default TV as master to another device:
1: Enter
setup mode by holding the device button you wish to make master down for 3
seconds. After 3 seconds all of the device buttons will blink to confirm that
you are in setup mode.
2: Press
the Mute key and this device will now be the sound master. Future volume up,
down, and mute operations for devices with punch through on will now control
this device.
Advanced
Configuration
If you wish to
independently control the volume without using punch through, punch through can
be turned off (and back on) for any device. For example, if you have a surround
sound system, you may wish to turn off punch through for the TV so you can
still control its volume when the TV device button is selected.
Turning off
Punch Through for a Device
By default,
all devices start with punch through turned on. For any device other than the
PS3, punch through can be turned off.
1: To
turn off punch through for a device, enter setup mode by holding the device
button down for 3 seconds. After 3
seconds all of the device buttons will blink to confirm that you are in setup
mode.
2: Press
the volume down (Vol -) key and that device will no longer punch through volume
controls to the sound master.
Turning on
Punch through for a Device
If you
accidentally turned punch through off for a device, it is simple to re-enable
it.
1: To
turn punch through back on for a device, enter setup mode by holding the device
button down for 3 seconds.
3
seconds all of the device buttons will blink to confirm that you are in setup
mode.
2: Press
the volume up (Vol +) key and that device will now punch through to the sound
master.
