Congratulations on your purchase of the IR34A
IconRemote. The IR34A IconRemote has the ability to
combine many types of remotes into a single remote. It
has many unique features that are available through the
high quality color screen and the configurable menus. The
screen displays icons that are easily set up to represent
your favorite channels. You can select any channel by
simply pressing the key next to the icon that represents
the channel.
The IR34A IconRemote may provide additional functions
that are not available on your device, and there may
be functions (e.g., menu functions) that initially may
not be controlled by the remote; but in such cases, the
IR34A IconRemote can easily learn the commands from
your original remote. The IR34A IconRemote remote is
capable of many other features that are also described in
this manual.
The IR34A IconRemote can also control X10 RF devices,
which allows you to control different electrical devices
located in various physical locations around the house,
using radio frequency (RF) signals. This gives you
the freedom to control devices that are not in the same
physical location as the remote.
The IR34A IconRemote is very intuitive and has built-
in Help, but it’s very useful to become familiar with the
remote by first reading this manual. After you’ve become
familiar with the IconRemote, the first thing you need to
do is to install the batteries and setup your remote using
the on-screen instructions.
Thank you for purchasing this remote, and we trust that it
will give you many years of service.

Setup
Using the Wizard
(1)
After you insert the batteries and choose
“English” the Setup Wizard screen (1)
appears. You can exit the Wizard at any
time by pressing the HOME key (located
just below the screen). Press any key
at screen (1) to continue and follow the
instructions on the screens.
Battery Installation
• On the back of the remote, push down
on the tab and lift the cover off.
• Match the batteries to the + and -
marks inside the battery case, then
insert 3 AAAlkaline batteries. Make
sure you use new batteries. You can
have problems with learning codes
if your batteries are old.
Pressing OK at screen (2) takes you to
the next screen (3). Pressing the Left
navigation key (Back key) on the remote
at screen (3) takes you to screen (4) that
has 10 yellow arrows. This is an exception
to the rule because we’re teaching you
how to use the remote. But pressing Back
again at this point does take you “back.”
(2)
• Press the battery cover back into
place.
Battery Saver
Your remote automatically turns off if the keys are depressed
for more than 30 seconds. This will save your batteries should
your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain
depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions). Also, the screen
turns off a short time after no keys have been pressed for
a while (or a short time after a key has been stuck for 30
seconds). The duration before the screen turns off can be
adjusted from about 2 seconds to about 120 seconds from the
Setup, Advanced, and Options menu (see page 43).
Try pressing the Back key a few times
to go back through the Wizard and then
follow the instructions on the screens
again to familiarize yourself with how to
step through the screens and go back. You
can go back and forth through the Wizard
but once you’ve set up your devices and
quit to save the settings, you won’t see
the Wizard again unless you do a Master
Reset.
(3)
Permanent Memory
To do a Master Reset: Press the HOME
key, Setup, More, Advanced, Clear
Settings, More, and then Master Clear.
Note: This will erase everything you have
set up in the remote.
All the devices you set up, their codes, punchthrough settings,
and all your favorites, etc., are stored in permanent memory
while you are changing batteries so you will not lose any
codes or settings stored in the remote while you are changing
batteries.

Pressing Save displays screen (5) that
instructs you to try a few other keys on
the remote to make sure you’ve found the
correct code. Tip: Try keys like Menu, and
Guide. Power might work yet you still
might not have the correct code. If several
keys seem to work fine, press Save Code.
If some keys don’t work, select Change
Code (or press Back) to go back and find
another code that works better. Selecting
Label lets you rename the device, e.g.,
you could call it My TV. You can ignore
this for now and try it later if you like. See
pages 13, 14, and 32 for more details on
entering text to change labels.
How to set up a TV
After you’ve been through the Wizard
for the first time, the screen (1) shown
to the right appears. This is the start of
the Wizard to set up your devices (TV
being the first one). Manually turn on the
device(s) to be set up (TV, VCR, etc.).
If you know your brand of TV, select Yes,
which results in a faster search for your
TV’s code. (Selecting No searches the
complete library of TV codes, rather than
just the codes for your brand of TV).
(2)
(6)
Pressing the Side Key next to Yes at
screen (1) takes you to a screen (2) where
the most common brands are shown
next to the Side Keys. If your brand
isn’t shown you can press the Side Key
adjacent to Next to show more brands,
(shown alphabetically) or press the
Side Key adjacent to Back to go back
to the previous screen of brands. Note,
on the very first screen of brands, the
Side Key adjacent to Back takes you to
the last screen of brands (so you can go
back through the list instead of forward
through it if you prefer). In this case we
selected Philips.
Pressing Save Code at screen (5) takes
you to screen (6) where you set up a Cable
box. You can quit at this point and set up
other devices later, or you can continue
and set up other devices - SAT, DVR, DVD, VCR, Audio, CD
Player, or an AUX device. (Directions on how to set up X10
Home Automation devices are shown on pages 15-20.)
(3)
Let’s assume for now that you go ahead and set up a TV, Cable,
and SAT.
If you select No at screen (1) on the previous page the
procedure will be similar to the above, except that you will be
searching through the entire library of codes for your device to
find the one that works best (instead of just searching through
the codes for your brand of device, e.g., Philips).
(4)
Screen (3) tells you to point the remote
directly at your TV and repeatedly press
(but not hold) Power (or Chan Up/Down,
or Play for VCRs, etc.) until your device
responds. Pressing Power sends the Power
command to your TV and screen (4)
shows that you’ve selected code 1 of xx
(xx will vary by brand). Keep pressing
Power until your TV responds and then
If you say Yes when asked if you know your Brand, but
subsequently don’t find a code that works, you are asked if you
want to try again (in case you missed it), or try all the codes for
your device. If you try all codes for your device type, and still
don’t find a code that works, you can skip it, or select Learn. If
you select Learn you can later learn the commands you want
for that device type.

Once you’ve gone through the Wizard
and set up at least a TV, and set up more
devices, or skipped the rest of them, you
arrive at screen (1) to the right.
If you want to add a label to the logo, press the Side Key next
to Label. This is optional so if you don’t want to add a label
to the logo you can just select Save to save the setting for this
favorite. If you save this favorite, Set Favorite 2 of 10 is now
shown at the bottom of the screen to indicate that you can add
another favorite channel. Again, just press a channel number
key on the remote, choose a logo and change the Device Type
(if you want to). Add a few more favorites (up to 10). You can
add more later, or delete or edit them later, or even reorder
their positions. Select Done when you’re finished setting up
favorites.
If you select Label, you see the screen to
the right with a small label on top of the
logo. Initially the label will be the channel
number for that logo. If you Save this, the
logo will have a small label representing
the channel number for that logo in it’s
bottom right hand corner, see screen (5).
Press any digit key, say digit 4, to enter a
channel number. This takes you to screen
(2). You can enter more digits if desired.
The channel number can include a dash
(-) for digital channels, e.g., 2-3, or can
include ENTER, or OK, if your device
requires it to change channels, e.g.,
472Ok, or 550Ent.
(5)
But you can type in a new label if you
want one. You enter the new name for
the key using the numeric keys on the
remote in a similar fashion to typing in
text on a cell phone.
Press the Side Key next to Pick Logo on
screen (2). You are shown a screen (3)
of popular channel logos. You can select
Next (Side Key 10) or Back (Side Key
5) to see more logos. In this example
we pressed the NBC logo (Side Key 4).
Screen (4) now shows that we’ve chosen
channel 4 and the NBC logo. Note, you
could also select the top left position
which would display “4” as the favorite
rather than a logo.
(4)
The Default device in this case was
Sat, but you can select Pick Device to
change it. In this case we changed it to
Cable. Make sure you select the device
that you want each favorite to control,
e.g., TV, Cable, or Sat.
In this example, press the 5 key twice to
enter the letter K. Then, wait a second,
and then press the 4 key repeatedly until
the letter I is displayed. Then, wait a
second and press 6 to select N. Then,
wait a second and press the 4 key to
select G.

Setting Up Your Remote to Send RF commands
When the IR34A is in X10 mode, it transmits RF commands to
X10 devices that respond to RF signals. The following example
describes how to use RF to control a TV (so you can control it
from anywhere in your home). Keep in mind that when you set
up a non RF device to be controlled by RF signals, you need
to use a device like the RE549, which converts the RF signals
it receives back in to IR signals to turn the TV on or off (see
pages 50 and 51 for more details).

Setting Up X10 Devices, cont.
Setting Up X10 Devices, cont.
When triggering an X10 module or wall switch using the
IR34A IconRemote, the signal is typically sent from the
remote using RF on a specific house code. The RF signal is
received by the transceiver (either TM751, RR501, CM15A, or
security console) on the matching house code. The transceiver
then forwards the signal onto the house wiring. This is now a
PLC signal. Any modules that match the house and unit code
transmitted will either turn on or off, depending on the signal
sent.

Learning
Sleep
Sleep lets you set any device to turn off a
preset time from now. You can set the off
time in increments of 15 minutes, up to a
maximum of 90 minutes.
Tips On Learning
The following are the guidelines that will help you use this
feature:
a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not be
able to be learned.
Press the HOME button to go to the
Home Screen, then press the Side Key
next to Sleep.
b. No functions may be learned under the HOME, MODE,
FAVORITE, HIS, or HERS (hard) keys.
c. Use fresh batteries for both the IR34A remote and your
Original Remote.
d. Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low-
energy lights when learning. (Ambient light can influence
learning a great deal.)
e. Place the original remote end-to-end with the IR34A remote
so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your original remote
points at the IR learning device on the bottom of the IR34A
IconRemote.
You can set a sleep timer for any or all of
the devices that you’ve set up, i.e., any
that are not grayed out.
In this example we only have a TV, Cable
Box, and Satellite Receiver set up.
f. Keep the distance between the two remotes to
approximately 1 inch.
Below, we pressed Side Key K1 next to
the TV icon once, to set a sleep timer of
15 minutes.
g. Line up the remotes and then press the key you want to
learn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remote
you are learning and you will see a “red halo” around the
transmit icon at the bottom left of the screen starts to flicker.
The best range for learning is when it flickers most rapidly.
Move the position of the 2 remotes to achieve this. (Slightly
off center may improve the best learning.) Do not change
this “best distance” between the two remotes until you have
learned all the required keys.
h. When Learning, you should normally not release the key
being learned until the display prompts you to do so.
However, some keys might be learned multiple times if
you do this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want to
learn, rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that
you normally hold down for a while (like volume up or
down) will likely require a long press when learning. Keys
that you normally give a quick press (like the numbers, and
channel up/down) will likely require a quick press when
learning. If after learning say the channel up key, you find
that it changes multiple channels when pressed once, try
relearning it with a short key press.
We pressed Side Key K2 next to the
Cable Box icon twice to set a sleep timer
for 30 minutes.
And we press Side Key K7 next to the Sat
icon five times to set a sleep timer of 1
hour and 30 minutes.
Pressing OK takes you back to the Home
screen with your sleep timers saved. The
next time you select the Sleep screen
you’ll see that the sleep timers have
started to count down.
Make sure you leave the remote point-
ing at the device(s) you’ve set Sleep
Timers for so it can send the Power
command to the device(s) at the time(s)
you’ve set.
i. If learning the first or second keys results in continuous
errors then try the following:

Learning, cont.
Learning Main Keys
• Check the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly aligned
between the two remotes.
At the Home screen press the Side Keys
next to Setup, More, and then Learn.
• Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer
(e.g., half an inch) or a further away (e.g., 2 inches) from
each other.
• Try learning the original remote keys again.
• If problems reoccur with the same key, check the original
remote button being learned – does it transmit? Does it
operate the target device?
You can learn commands from an existing
remote and store them under the “Main”
keys on the IR34A IconRemote, or learn
commands from an existing remote and
store them under any of the 10 side keys.
Then press one of the top four Side Keys
K6-K9 to the right of the screen.
At the Home screen press the Side Keys
next to Setup, More, and then Learn.
At the next screen press any of the five
Side Keys K1-K5 on the left to learn
commands under a Side Key, or press
any of the top four Side Keys K6-K9 on
the right to learn commands under the
main keys on the remote.
Select the Device you want to learn keys
for. In this example we only have a TV,
Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up,
so the rest are grayed out, but you can
still select any of the devices to learn
commands for. You are then instructed
to line up the remotes, and press the key
on the IR34A remote that you want to
learn.
If you press a right Side Key (to select Main Keys) you are
going to learn, say, the Chan Up key from an existing remote
and store it under the Chan Up key on the IR34A IconRemote.
Or, learn the Power key from an existing remote and store it
under the Power key on the IR34A IconRemote, etc.
Then, point the remote you want to
learn commands from at the bottom of
the IR34A IconRemote, and press the
key on the IR34A IconRemote that you
want to learn a command under, e.g.,
the Power key.
If you press a left Side Key (to select Side Keys) you are
going to learn, say, the “DVD Zoom” function from an
existing remote and store it under a Side Key on the IR34A
IconRemote. You will then be able to name the key “DVD
Zoom” and access this “DVD Zoom” function from the Mode
screen when the remote is in the mode that you selected when
you learned this “DVD Zoom” command.

Press and hold (in this example) the
Power key on the other remote until the
display shows that the command has been
successfully learned. Note for some types
of keys you might need to hold the key
pressed, but for other types a quick press
is sufficient. Experiment a bit. If keys you
learn are sent multiple times try learning
them with just a quick press. (See Tips on
Learning on page 25.)
Before learning the second key in the
Macro, you can set a delay (1-10 sec.)
after which the command stored in the
Macro will be sent. For example, your
TV might require a few seconds after
turning it on before it will respond
to a Channel Up/Down command.
(Repeatedly press the Side Key next
to Set Delay or enter the delay directly
with the numeric keys, 0-9.)
If the screen says Failure, you can press
the key and try again.
In this case let’s set a 1 second delay
between commands. Then point your
existing remote at the bottom of the
IR34A remote; press OK when you’re
ready.
You can continue learning more
individual keys by following the
instructions on the screen, and then press
Done when you’re finished. Or you can
press Add Key to Macro (see below and
next page).
You then press the second key on your
original remote that you want to add to
the Macro.
Learning a Macro - Main Keys
At this screen you can select Add Key
to a Macro. Instead of learning another
“separate” key, the next key you learn
will be added to a Macro. This Macro
will be activated by the key that you
learned the first command under. E.g.,
you could press Power and learn the
power command from your TV’s remote,
then select Add Key to Macro, and press
the 3 key and learn the channel 3 key
from your TV’s remote. Then the Macro
stored under the Power key will turn
on the TV and change the channel to
number 3.
When success is displayed you can
continue adding keys to the Macro and
then press Done when you’re finished.

page 25.)
Then press any of the Side Keys K1-K5
to the left of the screen.
Next press the key on the other remote
for the function you want to learn.
Hold the key pressed until the screen
says that the command was successfully
learned. Note for some types of keys you
might need to hold the key pressed but
for other types a quick press is sufficient.
Experiment a bit. If keys you learn are
sent multiple times try learning them with

Select the device you want to learn keys
for. In this example we only have a TV,
Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up,
so the rest are grayed out, but you can
still select any of the devices to learn
commands for. In this case we select TV.
You can change the label for the key
(in this case L7) and/or add the key to a
Macro. (See page 33 for Macros.)
If you select Change Label, by pressing
Side Key K9, you can change the name
to anything you want. For example,
you’ll likely want to rename it with the
name of the function that you learned.
Some typical “extra” keys are already set
up, (depending on the Mode you se-
lected), the rest of them are called L6, L7,
L8, etc., 27 keys in total. (You can rename
them later). Press the Side Key that you
want to learn a command under. (Note:
You can choose one that already has a
name, so as to “learn over it” and then
later rename it.) Let’s select L7.
After you select Change Label, the screen
to the right appears. You enter the new
name for the key using the numeric keys
on the remote in a similar fashion to
typing text using a cell phone. See the

Learning Macros (Side Keys)
A Macro could include the Power key for
your TV, followed by the Power key for
your Cable box, followed (after a 2 second
delay), by digit 4 from your cable remote.
Then, when you later activate this Macro,
it will turn on your TV, turn on your cable
box, wait 2 seconds, and then set the cable
box to channel 4.
E.g., in this example we pressed the 3
key on the remote to enter the letter D.
Then we pressed the 8 key repeatedly
until the letter V was displayed. Then
we waited for a second and pressed 3 to
select D. Then we pressed the 0 (zero)
key twice until we selected a space.
We continued this process until we had
“DVD Zoom” displayed.
Press OK to save the new label for the
key we just learned.
At the Home screen press the Side Key
next to Learn.
The next time you set the remote to the
mode that you learned this key under,
you’ll see a screen where you can select
this and any other functions you’ve
learned under that mode.
Then press any Side Key K1-K5 to the
left to learn a Macro that you’ll save to a
Side Key (and later rename it if desired).
Pressing the MODE key and then selecting a device type
shows the “extra” keys and learned keys for that mode. Note,
you can learn keys from any kind of remote under any mode.
You could for example learn the power keys for your TV, and
your audio system and extra keys for your DVD player under
the DVD mode. Then, when you press the MODE key and se-
lect DVD, you’ll be able to turn on your TV, turn on your audio
system, and control your DVD player, all from the Side Keys
on this one screen.
Select the device you want to learn keys
for. In this example we only have a TV,
Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up,
so the rest are grayed out, but you can
still select any of the devices to learn
commands for. E.g., in this case we
selected DVR.
Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in a similar fashion to text
entry on a cell phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle through
ALL caps, numbers, and lower case letters. E.g., repeatedly
pressing the number 2 key cycles through A, B, C, 2, a, b, c.
Pressing the 9 key cycles through W, X, Y, Z, 9, w, x, y, z.
A “space” can be selected with the 0 (zero) key. The number
1 key selects 1 . @ ? ! - & : and back to 1. And you can
backspace an entry with the key to the left of the 0 (zero) key.
Press OK (or the Enter “E” key) to confirm your new name.
Then select the Side Key that you want to
store the Macro under, for example, L3.

You enter the new name for the key using
the numeric keys in a similar fashion to
typing in text on a cell phone. E.g., in
this example we pressed the 6 key on the
remote to enter the letter “M.” Press the
2 key repeatedly until the letter “a” is
displayed. Wait a second and repeatedly
press 2 to select “c.” Then, wait a second
and repeatedly press the number 7 key
until “r” is selected. Then the 6 key to
select “o.” Then the 0 (zero) key twice
to select a space, and then 1 to select 1.
Macro 1 is then displayed.

devices and change to TV (for example)
to set up a second TV. Selecting Label,
on screen (2) lets you rename the device,
e.g., you could call it Den TV and have
another called Liv Rm TV.
Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in
a similar fashion as text entry on a cell
phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle
through ALL caps, numbers, and lower
case letters. So at screen (3) you could
press the 6 key to enter M, then the 9
key 8 times for a lower case y, then the
zero key twice for a space, then the 8 key
for T, then the 8 key three times for a V,
to enter My TV. See pages 13, 14, and
32 for more details on entering text to
change labels.
Press the Side Key next to Wizard.
Then pick the group that you want to set
up favorites in, (or add more favorites
to). If you pick an existing group that
you previously set up favorites in, say
His, any new favorites will be added to
the ones you already set up. If you’ve
already set up 10 favorites, a new page
will be added. (You can have 10 pages
of favorites.)

Programming Combo Device Codes
Select how you want the Channel Up/
Down keys to operate when the remote is
in TV mode.
Some Combo devices (e.g., TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR,
etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode keys to con-
trol both parts of the Combo device. For example, if you have
a TV/DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code under
the TV key to control the TV part and a separate code (under
any other Mode key) to control the DVD part. Other Combo
devices have one code that will control both parts of the device.
Select how you want the Play, Stop,
Pause, REW, FF, and Record keys to
operate when the remote is in TV mode.
For example, here we’ve set the Volume
and Mute keys to operate the TV in TV
mode (i.e., Punchthrough Not Set); Chan

Punchthrough
This feature lets you set up how various keys on the remote
operate in various modes. For example, you might want the
Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to ALWAYS operate your
TV, no matter what mode the remote is in. Or you might want
the Play, Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record keys to ALWAYS
operate your VCR no matter what mode the remote is in.
Here we’ve set the Volume and Mute to
operate the TV; and Chan Up/Down to
operate the Cable Box; - even though
the remote is in DVD mode. Play, Stop,
Pause, etc., will operate the DVD (i.e.,
Punchthrough Not Set for Play, etc.).
Press the HOME key, Setup, More, Advanced, then
Punchthrough.
You need to set up Punchthrough for
each device you’ve set up in the remote.
I.e., you need to set up how you want the
“Volume Up/Down and Mute” “Chan Up/Down” and “Play,
Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record” keys to operate for each
device that you have set up in whatever mode the remote is set
to.
Then select the device you want to set up
Punchthrough, e.g., TV.
Note also that if you want some other keys to operate in a
different mode from what they normally operate in, you can
“learn” the key(s). E.g., if you want you TV’s INPUT key to
still switch the TV’s input when you’re in cable mode, you can
learn your TV’s INPUT key under cable mode.

KidSafe
X10 Home Control
If you own or have purchased the Model IR543 Command
Center, and you have compatible X10 Lamp, Appliance, and
Wall Switch modules, you will also be able to control lights
and appliances from your IR34A IconRemote. You must set up
the remote with the 0999 device code in order for the IR34A to
communicate to the IR543 Command Center.
Press the HOME key, Setup, More,
Advanced, then KidSafe.
The first time you access the KidSafe
menu you are asked if you want to set up
a KidSafe Code. If you select Yes, you
see this screen. Enter a 4 digit code that
you will easily remember but that your
Kid(s) won’t be able to guess.
When you point the IR34A toward the IR543, it receives the IR
commands and retransmits them onto your house wiring. (This
is now a PLC signal.) Any modules that match the house and
unit code transmitted will either turn on or off, depending on
the signal.
After you enter a 4 digit code and press
OK, you will see a screen that lets you
pick a new KidSafe code, i.e., change
it. And/or set the group of favorites that
your Kids have access to. (The default
group is Kids, but it will be grayed out if
you haven’t set up that group.)
To see how to enter a device code, refer to page 43. Set up the
code under AUX mode, but you can choose another mode if
you prefer. Then in AUX mode (for example), press a number
button on the IR34A corresponding to the X10 Module you
want to control. Press CHANNEL + to turn the module on,
CHANNEL – turns it off; VOLUME + to brighten Lamp and
Wall Switch Modules, and VOLUME – to dim them.
If you own or have purchased the TM751 RF Transceiver
Module, your IR34A IconRemote communicates using its RF
signal. The remote transmits the RF signal on a specific house
code. This signal is received by the transceiver (either TM751,
RR501, CM15A, or security console) on a matching house
code. (See pages 15 through 20 on how to set up the remote
and modules.) The transceiver then forwards the signal onto
the house wiring. This is now a PLC signal. Any modules that
match the house and unit code transmitted will either turn on or
off, depending on the signal sent. Camera power supplies are
addressable and act just like lamp or appliance modules.
You can press the Side Key next to
Pick Favorites and choose a different
favorites group that you want your
Kids to have access to, e.g., any other
favorites group that you’ve set up.
After you’ve done this you now have the
option to Turn KidSafe On. If you turn
KidSafe On everything in the remote
except access to the KidSafe group
(and Volume/Mute keys) is locked out.
No settings can be changed, and the Channel Up/Down and
number keys will not work.
If you try to access any other favorite group, change a setting,
or access any forbidden menu, you are asked to enter the
KidSafe code. You cannot continue unless you enter the correct
KidSafe code. See the Troubleshooting section if you forget
your KidSafe code - but don’t let your kids read this owner’s
manual!

Audio and Video Compatibility
Voice Dialer Security Console
The IR34A IconRemote used in conjunction with the
RE549 Half Powermid gives you control of Audio and
Video components - even if they are in a different room
from the remote.
The IR34AIconRemote used in conjunction
with the PS561 (DS7000) security console
gives you the ability to control your home
security directly from your remote.
The Half Powermid allows you to extend the distance you can
use your remote. You will be able to hide the RE549 from sight
and still control your TV or other electronic devices through
entertainment centers, cabinet doors, from another room, etc.
The transmitter will receive the RF commands and send them
using IR through the transmitter cable included with the your
package.
Description:
To set up your remote for the PS561 do the
following:
• Press the Home key.
• Press the Setup Side Key.
• Press the X10 Side Key.
• Press the Add/Edit Side Key.
• Use the Side key to select the room that you
want to associate the security device.
• At the “add and X10 device!” screen, press
the OK key.
Description:
The idea on how to do this is shown in the figure below. Follow
these basic steps:
• Use the Side Key to Pick Device.
• Plug the Powermid Receiver (Model RE549) into a 120V AC
outlet in the room where your TV, VCR, stereo, etc., that you
want to control is located (up to 20 feet away from what you
want to control). Point the front of the Powermid Receiver
towards the unit you want to control.
• Press the Security Side Key.
• Press the Side Key to select the DS7000.
• At the Security Options screen, press the
Side Key to Set Password.
• Enter your 4 digit security code using the

not forget your security code.)
• Press the Side Key for the Set Console Link.
• Following the screen instructions to set
your console to program mode by pressing
and holding the OK key until the console
chimes. (Note: Make sure that the PS561
slide-switch is set to “Install,” top-right
corner on the front panel.)
• Fully extend the antenna on the Powermid.
• (Optionally) plug the IR extender cable into the back of the
RE549 and attach the IR emitters on the cable to the front of
up to two A/V devices that you want to control.

password to execute the your choice.
• Press Back to leave the Enter Code screen.
• Press any key on the remote. The RE549 receives the Radio
Frequency (RF) signals and blasts the IR signals from its front
face, or optionally through the RX569 emitter cable to control
your IR compatible devices (TV, VCR, CD, etc.).
Note: You can add more RE549’s to control A/V equipment in
more than one room.

Troubleshooting
12 Month Limited Warranty
The Favorites you set up don’t operate your device.
• Make sure you selected the correct device (TV, Cable, Sat,
etc., when you set up each favorite. See Add/Edit Favorites
on page 38 to change the device type for your favorite(s).
X10.com, a division of X10 Wireless Technology, Inc. (X10)
warrants X10 products to be free from defective material and
workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the original date
of purchase at retail. X10 agrees to repair or replace, at its sole
discretion, a defective X10 product if returned to X10 within the
warranty period and with proof of purchase. If service is required
under this warranty:
The Remote’s hard keys do not operate your product.
• Make sure the remote is set to the correct Mode by pressing
the MODE key followed by the appropriate Side Key for the
device mode that you want.
• Program the remote with a new code.
• The remote may not contain the code for your device. Try
learning the codes you need from your old remote.
• Install new batteries.
For help or more information on setup, please visit:
The remote does not operate some features of your product.
• Program the remote with a new code.
• The remote may not be able to operate all the features of
your product or key names might be different than your
product. Try learning codes from your old remote.
Having problems with learning?
• See Learning Tips on page 25.
• If some learned keys transmit multiple times, e.g., if a
learned Channel Up key changes more than one channel
when you press it, or Up/Down/Left/Right navigation keys
move more than one step when you press the learned key;
try just giving the key to be learned a quick press (when you
learn it) rather than holding the key pressed until the screen
displays Success.
Your TV turns on when you press a Favorite key.
• Some types of TV, e.g., Philips flat panel TVs turn on and
go to the selected channel when you press a channel number
while the TV is off. So for this type of TV pressing a favorite
key will do the same thing (but it might not work for 3 digit
channels, e.g., 550).
Forgot your KidSafe code?
• Just remove and reinsert the batteries to reset KidSafe.
