Programming Infrared Codes
There are two methods you can use to program infrared codes into the SUR-35:
Using Manufacturer Codes: Use this method to automatically configure all buttons on the SUR-35 for use with a specific manufacturers model number. This feature is the fastest way to program the SUR-35 but requires that your device be located in the Manufacturer Code Tables. (Some newer or less common devices may not be preprogrammed and must be learned using the Learning Function.) Using the Learning Function: Use this method to directly learn the proper infrared signals from another remote control. The learning eye of the SUR-35 will learn the proper signals to send. This method is perfect for newer or less common devices or if a certain button still not does perform the desired function after using pre-programmed manufacturer codes. However, in rare cases, the SUR-35 may not be able to copy the codes from another remote and it may be necessary to collect unrecognized codes and send them to Sima. (See Collecting Unrecognized Infrared Codes in Chapter 3.)

Learning codes

Using the Learning Function
If you have the original remote, the SUR-35 has the ability to directly learn infrared codes.
Chapter 4 Controlling Devices
The SUR-35 is designed to be simple and straightforward to operate. This chapter explains how to use the SUR-35 to control all your devices. This Chapter assumes you have already setup the SUR-35 and assigned Infrared codes to different buttons. See Chapter 3 Setting Up the SUR-35 to Control a Device for more information on assigning codes.
Before Using the Learning Function
Before you start using the SUR-35s learning function, please heed the following precautions: Teach only one remote for each device. For example, dont assign some of the buttons on the TV device screen to operate a TV in the living room, while assigning others to operate a different model TV in the bedroom. Each device button is capable of storing up to ten separate devices. Create a second device to teach a second TV. To change from a device that has already been programmed, delete all of the commands for the first device before teaching new ones. For example, to operate the living room TV instead of the bedroom TV, delete all commands for the bedroom TV first. (See the Deleting a Device section.) Then re-configure the TV device screen for the living room TV. When using the learning function, you must press each button within 2 minutes of pressing the last button. Otherwise, the SUR-35 will exit the learning mode and return to its normal operation mode. A very small number of infrared codes are not learnable by the SUR-35. You may need to first collect the codes (see Collecting Unrecognized Infrared Codes for more information) and then email them to Sima.
Selecting a Device to Control
1. Press one of the eight device buttons to pick the device. Each device button can store up to ten devices. Press the same device button again to cycle through the different devices in that bank.
Changing Touch Screen Pages
1. Press and release the Page Button to alternate between Page 1 and Page 2 of available Touch Screen buttons.

Deleting devices

2. Select the device you wish to delete. Make sure the device name displayed in the upper right hand corner of the touch screen is the device you wish to erase.
Learning from Another Remote Control
To teach the codes from your remote, set both remotes on a flat surface facing each other. Be sure to point your devices remote control at the SUR-35s learning eye, which is located at the bottom of the unit. Do not use the other eye located at the top of the SUR-35. You do not have to turn on the actual device (TV, VCR, etc). Refer to the following illustration.
3. Press OK to erase this device. Or press EXIT to cancel without erasing the device.

The touch screen will display a set of buttons that correspond to the rubber keys on the bottom half of the SUR-35. Although these buttons appear on the touch screen, in programming them, you are actually programming the rubber buttons. For example: The upper right button corresponds to the Power button as shown at right.

The up and down arrows represent the Channel up and down keys (or Play and Stop). The left and right arrows represent the Volume up and down buttons (or FF/Rew). The center button is the Enter button. and the lower right button is the Mute button. The bottom button corresponds to the device buttons and you can program it to send a command to turn on a device when you select it. You can program each rubber button by using this screen. 2. The Power button (upper right) should now be flashing on the touch screen. 3. Press and hold the Power button on the other remote control for at least 2 seconds. 4. Check to see whether ERROR or OK is displayed on the top of the SUR-35 Touch Screen. If ERROR appears, try again. The next programmable button on the Touch Screen will flash automatically. When all buttons on the current page are programmed, it will automatically switch to the next page.
You can directly select the next button to program by touching it or Page Key to go to press the page 1 of the Softkeys.

Collecting codes

Collecting Unrecognized Infrared Codes
Use this procedure in the rare instance when the SUR-35 is unable to recognize the infrared signals from another remote control. (You only see the ERROR indicator when Using the Learning Function.) Once collected you can use the Remote Connector (see Appendix B Accessories) to upload the unrecognized codes to your personal computer and then email them to Sima for analysis. Sima can then update the system software and send you an updated version that will recognize the codes. Simas service email address is: www.simacorp.com. All unrecognized codes should be sent to this address. When you enter the Code Collection mode, the SUR-35 will immediately erase the previously stored unrecognized codes. If you have more than one remote that is not programmable, please upload the first remotes unrecognized codes and then gather the second remotes.
