Battery Installation  
Your RCU1000B Universal Remote requires 4 new AA alkaline batteries (batteries included).  
To install the batteries:  
1. Turn the remote over, push on the tab and slide the cover off.  
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery case.  
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.  
NOTES:  
BATTERY SAVER  
Your RCU1000B is equipped with a battery saver. If no keys are pressed for more than 30  
seconds, the remote automatically “times-out”. This saves your batteries should your remote  
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions).  
CODE SAVER  
All programmed information will be retained while changing batteries.  
POWER-ON DEFAULT  
When you first insert or replace the batteries your RCU1000B remote will always power-on in  
TV Mode.

Code Search Notes  
NOTES FOR AUTOSEARCH, DIRECT CODE ENTRY AND CODE SEARCH  
Auto Search  
You can automatically scroll through the complete code list for a device by using the  
Autosearch feature. After you first press CH UP, ON•OFF or PLAY in the Code Search  
routine, if you don’t press any other keys, about 6 seconds later Autosearch automatically  
starts and steps through the code list one code after another. The remote sends the next code  
in the list every 3 seconds. This can take quite some time to go through the entire list to find  
the code you want but at any time you can press the normal Search keys (CH+, CH-,  
ON•OFF, and PLAY) to temporarily speed up Autosearch (i.e. manually override) in both  
forward and reverse directions. If AUX is being displayed then the display alternates  
between AUX and the Device label you chose (TV, VCR, SAT, etc.) or the power-on default  
(Cable) at 0.5 second intervals).  
For Code Search, if the Device does not have a CH UP key, use the PLAY (VCR only) or the  
ON•OFF keys instead.  
Code Search starts from the currently stored code number under that device. e.g. If the device  
has 100 codes and the currently stored code is 050 then the Code Search starts from 051  
continuing to 100 before looping back to 000 and finishing at 050.  
After you install its Code, all Key Labels and any previously learned functions will be reset  
for any device  
Code Identification  
Pressing and holding any device key in Normal  
operation shows current code setting for that device.

Key Label Mode  
The RCU1000B remote allows you to customize the individual key pad labels as desired. This  
function is recommended for when you have finished programming all your devices and you  
have specific keys that you would like to re-label to meet your needs.

Learn IR Mode  
The Learning feature is used as a supplement to the standard preprogrammed library. The  
standard code library provides most of the functions needed, but you can add a small  
number of additional functions of you choice. You can store original remote commands  
consisting of up to 39 keys for each of the RCU1000B’s 9 Device Modes. Only one original  
remote type can be stored under any one device.  
Tips On Learning  
1. Use fresh batteries for both the RCU1000B remote and your original remote(s).  
2. Experiment by Learning 2 or 3 keys initially (to ensure compatibility and familiarity) and  
then carry out the setup routine “Delete IR….ALL?” before completely Learning your  
original remote’s keyboard.  
3. Place the original remote to the rear of the RCU1000B so that the IR LED sensor on the  
front of the original remote is in line with the RCU1000B’s IR sensor, located near the  
quick key area. Keep the distance between the two remotes to approximately 2 inches.  
4. If commands were learned previously, carry out the setup routine “Delete IR...ALL?” before  
attempting any new Learning.  
5. Do not attempt to Learn directly under an incandescent or low-energy light as these can  
cause interference with the IR transmissions. Keep at least three feet away from any such  
light sources.  
6. When the memory is full, the display shows “Memory….Full” and the visible LED flashes  
for two seconds. It is not possible to Learn any additional keys without clearing a Device  
first.  
7. When Learning a key, do not release the key being Learned until the display shows  
“Success” followed by “Learn IR...Key?”.  
8. All Learned commands are saved automatically, there is no “Confirm to Save” screen.

To Learn Commands  
Gather all the remotes that you want to learn and have them all lined up on a flat surface  
before going into Learn Setup Mode. Place the RCU1000B in front of your existing remotes so  
that the front of your existing remotes point at the back of the RCU1000B. Make sure that you  
keep about 2 inches between the remote you are learning from and the RCU1000B.  
2 inches  
1. Press and hold the SETUP key until the LCD  
displays “Code Setup….Mode?” and the LED  
remains on. Release the SETUP key.

displays “Learn IR….Mode?”.  
3. Press and release the desired device key (TV, VCR,  
SAT, AUX, etc.) “Learn IR….Key?” is displayed.  
4. To teach a key on the RCU1000B, press and release the  
Press Any Key Except...  
LCD key, or the Quick key, that you wish to program.  
NOTE: You cannot learn any commands under the Learn,  
Macro, Setup, or any device key.  
5. “Learning...Please Wait” is displayed. Press and hold the  
original remote key you want to transfer to the  
RCU1000B until “Success” followed by “Learn  
IR….Key?” appears in the display (this process can take  
2 or 3 seconds to complete). Release the original  
remote key. If there is a problem with learning the  
LCD shows “Learn....Error” for 3 seconds but still  
remains in the Learning Setup.  
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for other keys to be learned.  
NOTE: To manually record your learned keys for future  
reference refer to page 21.  
7. Press and release the SETUP key when all desired  
original remote commands have been learned.The  
LCD displays “Learning…Completed” followed by  
“Learn IR….Mode?”.

To Program A Macro  
When programmed and utilized, a Macro key will cause a series of events to occur. A total  
number of 20 keystrokes can be stored under each of the 9 available Macro keys. One press of  
the Macro key then “plays back” the sequence of commands stored under the Macro key.  
NOTE: A shortcut to Macro Setup routines is available by pressing and holding the MACRO key  
(to the left under the LCD). Additionally, when in Setup Primary Screens, pressing the MACRO  
key jumps to the “Setup a Macro?” routine.  
1. Press and hold the SETUP key until the LCD  
displays “Code Setup….Mode?” and the LED remains  
on. Release the SETUP key.  
2. Press the MACRO key, and “Setup a Macro” appears in  
the LCD.  
3. Press and release OK on the LCD, then the display  
shows “Macro Key?” You can choose which key you  
would like to store the Macro under (1-9).  
4. Press and release the key under which you want to  
store a Macro (1-9 available). The display shows  
“Macro X KeyYY?” where X is 1-9 (depending on which  
Macro key you press) and YY is the key being stored  
(initially at 01 and increasing to 20 as you store keys  
in the Macro).  
5. The first key press must be a device key, which is  
highlighted on the LCD. Once the first device key is  
pressed you can allow your macro set to operate other  
devices as long as you do not exceed 20 keystrokes.  
6. Once you have selected your device key, the LCD  
screen shows the key labels for that device. Press and  
release the keys you want to store in the macro in the  
exact order you want them to be transmitted.  
7. To save the settings, (the series of keystrokes you just  
recorded) press and release the SETUP key. The LCD  
displays “PressDigit For Delay?”.  
IMPORTANT NOTE:  
It may be necessary to have “delays” included between  
each Macro key sequence (e.g. To let your TV warm up).  
If the OK key is pressed, there is an automatic delay of 0.5  
seconds between each IR transmission in the sequence.  
To increase the delay between each key stroke press the  
numbers (1-9). Maximum delay is 9 seconds.  
NOTE: • When you activate a Macro, the LCD bottom line  
shows which Macro you activated (1-9).  
• If you program the maximum number of 20 keys  
allowable, the Macro will automatically be stored on  
the last keypress and the LCD will display “Setup a  
Macro?”.  
8. Press and release the OK key to exit.
