The Timer function of this Remote Commander is designed for use with AV components. Do not use the Timer function with other components, such as an airconditioner or other electrical appliances. It may cause a fire or a serious injury.
The Remote Commander (RM-AX4000) has special buttons which can be programmed to perform a series of commands (a macro) just pressing one button. If you press the MORE button (rightmost SYSTEM CONTROL button), all keys sharing the same function as that SYSTEM CONTROL button appear at the bottom of the display. These keys are called, System Control keys. You can program a series of commands (a macro) for each of four SYSTEM CONTROL buttons and four System Control keys. This is called System Control macro.

How to set the System Control function
For On-PC Setup: See the Help menu provided in AX Remote Editor. For On-Remote Setup: See Programming a series of commands with just one button on page 51.
Executing a series of commands with just one button (continued)
If the remote control detectors of the components are too far apart, or if something is blocking them, some of the components may not operate in the ordered sequence when you press a SYSTEM CONTROL button or System Control key. If some of the components did not operate correctly because of the above or for any other reason, always set all the components back to the states they were in before you pressed the SYSTEM CONTROL button or the System Control key. Failure to do this can result in incorrect operation when you press the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons or the System Control keys again. Some components may not always be powered-on by the System Control function. This is because the power of the component goes on and off alternately when receiving the power on/off signal. In this case, check the operating components power on/off state before using the System Control function.

Trouble with operation mode
Problem The components I want to operate do not work even when the keys on the Remote Commander are pressed. Solution Get closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is approximately 32.8 ft. (10 m). Check that you are aiming the Remote Commander directly at the component, and that there are no obstructions between the Remote Commander and the component. Turn on the components first, if necessary. Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if your component did not come with the Remote commander, it probably is not capable of being controlled by a Remote Commander. If your visual components are connected to an audio component, For On-PC Setup: See the Help menu provided in AX Remote Editor. For On-Remote Setup: See Controlling the volume of visual components connected to an audio component on page 57. You have assigned another component to the Label key which was originally set as TV or RCVR at the factory (page 45). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled when you select a component other than TV or RCVR.
The audio/visual component's volume is not controlled by the Remote Commander.
Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem A System Control key does not work properly.
Solution Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the correct order (page 51). Try changing the orientation of the Remote Commander. If that does not help, try placing the components as close to each other as possible. Check the status of the components and make sure that you have set the components properly to receive commands. The preset codes are changed or new signals have been learned for a key or button that has been programmed with a series of commands. In this case, the new signals are transmitted when the series of commands is executed. The component could not receive the signal from the Remote Commander successfully. When using the Timer, check the following. Check that the Timer macro functions correctly by pressing the TEST key, after setting the Timer macro (page 59). Check the location of the Remote Commander. The status of the component is not suitable for operation (for example, you programmed the power-on setting, assuming that power of the component is off when the Timer turns on. However, if the power of the component is on when the component receives the signal from the Remote Commander, the component will turn off). The Remote Commander memorizes the status of the component's input selector and power on/off. However, if you turn on/off the component with the remote control or operate the component directly, it will not recognize the current component status. In this case, press the SYNC-UP button to synchronize with the status of the current component and the Remote Commander. If the TV turns off by its own Sleep function, the Remote Commander does not recognize its status. Turn off the TV with the Remote Commander. You can also turn off the TV at the scheduled time with the Timer on the Remote Commander. The Remote Commander memorizes the status of the component's input selector and power on/off. However, if you turn on/off the component with the remote control or operate the component directly, it will not recognize the current component status. In this case, press SYNC-UP button to synchronize the status of the current component and the Remote Commander. If the TV turns off by its own Sleep function, the Remote Commander does not recognize its status. Turn off the TV with the Remote Commander. You can also turn off the TV at the scheduled time with the Timer on the Remote Commander.

Learning fails.

Problem The keys learned do not operate properly. NG flashes 5 times when learning.
Solution Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned the correct signals. See For accurate learning (page 51) and try the learning procedure again (page 48). Leaning has not succeeded. After checking the following, try the learning procedure again (page 48). Change the distance between the Remote Commander and remote control. See For accurate learning (page 51). The preset codes cannot be set. See the supplied Preset code lists and try setting the preset codes again (page 45). Learned signals have been programmed for the button or key to which you want to set the learning, System Control function. Clear the learned signals (page 54) and try setting again. Learn the signal within 10 sec after selecting a key/button you want to teach. The Remote Commander cannot learn them. If you want to adjust the radio band or frequency, operate it manually.
NG flashes twice when learning.
The Remote Commander does not memorize the radio band change (AM/ FM) or frequency. The setting display does not appear. The setting display finishes in process of the setting. PRESET, LEARN, MACRO, TIMER, and LABEL do not appear on the LCD display.
The batteries are weak. Replace with new ones. The batteries are weak. Replace with new ones.
These setting only appear with On-PC setup. To see these items, use the AX Remote Editor software.

Others

Problem I want to restore all the settings. Solution In AX Remote Editor, click Tools on the menu bar, then select Update Firmware for Remote to update the firmware of the Remote Commander. If the firmware is updated, all the settings or learned data of the Remote Commander are deleted and the Remote Commander is set back to the factory setting. When you have a multiple components (such as a DVD/VCR combo), select only one of either component type. For example, in the case of a DVD/VCR combo, select DVD or VCR. If you select both components, the XPRESS function will not work properly. For On-PC Setup: You can set multiple XPRESS functions for one component. For example, when you watch a DVD, you can set the sound to output from the TV. Or, when you listen to a CD, you can set the sound to output from the RCVR (Receiver/ Amplifier). For On-Remote Setup: You can set an XPRESS function for only one component. Choose either XPRESS_DVD or XPRESS_CD. No. The signals are not deleted because they are stored in the nonvolatile memory. Make sure to install the USB driver properly (page 17). The batteries may be weak. Replace with new ones if the battery icon appears. If the connection goes thorough the HUB, some PCs do not recognize it. In this case, connect it directly to the USB port of your PC. The Remote Commander does not work by the bus power. If you use it in the USB mode, make sure to install new batteries.
