Getting Started

Congratulations!

You’ve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to

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.

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.

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).

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.

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”.

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.

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.
