The Customizer

Getting Started

Congratulations!

Youve purchased one of the most advanced and easy to setup control systems available. The Customizers built-in library includes thousands of different brands and models of remote controls. In most systems, all you have to do to setup the Customizer is enter which brands and models you own. If you own a component too new to be in the library, the Customizer uses advanced DoubleTapTM Learning technology to quickly set each Customizer button, one at a time. Setting up your Customizer to replace all your existing remote controls can be done in a few minutes. Basic Setup is described on pages 5 to 14. The Customizers 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 Customizers 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.

) to display

In this step you choose the name of the device youd 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.

UP SELECT DOWN

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.

SELECT

If the name flashing in the display is incorrect (for example, you are setting up AUX to operate a second DVD 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 AUX category includes video processors, subwoofers, and even remote controlled pianos. See page 33 for a list of component types each Code Table contains.
Point the Customizer 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.
Use the number buttons to enter the code number.
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 Customizer, I entered 070 and looked at the TV. It didnt turn off, so I entered 139, then 147 and so on, until I found the code that powered off the TV.
When the component turns off, save the code number you entered by pressing the SAVE button that appears on the screen.

Code Number You Entered

SAVE Button
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.
Scan Down to the previous Code Number.
Scan Up to the next Code Number.
Exit SETUP mode by pressing the MAIN button two times.
When the display shows MAIN, you are back in normal operating mode. Now its time to test all the buttons. If some buttons dont work, try repeating steps 1-9, to see if you can improve the match to your component. For Example: My Sony TV powered off with TV code number 139. However the number buttons didnt work when I tested them. So, I repeated steps one to ten, using other code numbers and eventually discovered that when code number 185 is set, all the buttons work perfectly.

Repeat steps one through nine for each of your devices. In most systems, you can finish basic setup in just a few minutes and put all your old remote controls away. If you are still missing commands to control any of your devices, use the Learning Method on the next page.
The Customizer Learning Method
The Customizer can learn commands from your old remote controls one-button-at-a-time by following these simple steps:
Line-up the Customizer with your old remote control, head-to-head, one or two inches apart.
Press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time 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 dont press a button within that time, the Customizer will time out and return to normal operation.

Press the LEARN button.

LEARN Button
The top of the screen will change to LEARN.
The display will show a list of the first seven devices. Select the device you would like to teach commands to by pressing the Device button.
Devices FAV (Not a Device)
Press any button you want to teach a command to.

Press any Button.

Note: If you dont see the display button you would like to teach, use the PAGE buttons. The only buttons you cant teach are the PAGE and MAIN buttons. Once you press a button, the top of the display will change from LEARN to READY.
Press and hold the button on your old remote control until the display changes to RETRY. Press and hold the same button on your old remote control once again. The Customizers unique DoubleTap learning technology ensures compatibility with the widest variety of remote controls ever!
Once you have taught the button twice, the display will change to either GOOD or FAILED. If the GOOD label appears on top of the display and SAVED flashes on the bottom, you were successful. Now, press the next button you wish to teach. Keep repeating steps 6 through 9 until you have learned all the buttons you want. If the FAILED label appears on top of the display, try to teach the same button in Customizer once again by repeating steps 6-8.

Continue to teach any commands from any of your remote controls by repeating steps 5-9 (to go back to step five, press MAIN once). Once you completed teaching all the buttons, return to normal operation by pressing the MAIN button twice. Test all your new commands. If any of them dont work, try learning again using these notes:
Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sunlight, halogen or quartz lighting can interfere with the learning process. Although the old remote control seems to work fine, change the batteries to fresh alkaline batteries. Vary the distance between the remote controls gradually. Try 1/4, 1, 2and so on, up to 4 feet. Tap the button on the original remote control instead of pressing and holding it during the learning process.
URC-300 Volume Control Punch Through
In most home entertainment systems, the sound volume is only controlled by one device. In some systems, it is the TV speakers that make the sound, so you would use the TV device on the Customizer to raise and lower the volume. In another system, it might be a surround sound receiver and speakers that control the sound, so you would use the Customizers AUDIO device to adjust the volume. Constantly switching the Customizer to TV or AUDIO to adjust the volume is inconvenient in daily life. You can use Punch Through to set the Customizers volume buttons to always control the sound in your system. That way when the Customizer is set to VCR or DVD, the volume up, down and mute buttons will work perfectly without switching back to AUDIO or TV. Heres how:
Press and hold both the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons for three seconds. The top of the display shows that you are in SETUP mode now. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Customizer will time out automatically.
From the Setup menu, press the PUNCH button. Press the VOL button. The display confirms by displaying VOL at the top of the screen. This sets up the group of three buttons (Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute) in one action!

Select Volume

The bottom of the display flashes PUNCH TO. Press the device button for the device that doesnt have volume control commands yet (i.e.,DVD). This is the device you are going to PUNCH TO for the volume and mute commands.
Select the Device you want to Punch To
Note: If you wish to PUNCH to the MAIN device, press the POWER OFF button at this time.
The bottom of the display will then flash PUNCH FROM. Now you select the device that has the volume commands you want (i.e.,TV for systems using the TV speakers, AUDIO for systems with surround sound receivers). The bottom of the display will flash SAVED. Repeat steps 3-5 until all your devices operate the volume perfectly. Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operating mode and test your Punch Through settings.

Note: The Punch Through feature is not limited to volume and can also be applied to channel or other functions. If you find yourself switching to a particular device frequently to use a group of controls, consider using Punch Through for another group, as listed here: VOL - Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute CH - Channel Up, Channel Down and Prev. Channel PLAY - Play, Stop, Pause, Rewind and Fast Forward VOD - Guide, Menu, Info, Exit, Up, Down, Left, Right, Sel POWER - Power On and Power Off

Advanced Operation

Setting Backlight Options
You can adjust the amount of time that the Customizer backlight stays on by entering the SETUP mode and proceeding to page two (using the PAGE UP button), then pressing the LIGHT button on the display (not the Backlight button). Then enter the amount of time you would like the light to stay on using the number pad (0-99 seconds). After making your selection, press the SAVE button. If you dont want backlighting at all (this extends battery life), press the ON button that appears on the screen. The ON will change to OFF. Press the SAVE button. Exit the setup mode by pressing the MAIN button.

Favorite Channels

Press MAIN, then press the Favorite Channel button on the touch screen (FAV). The screen changes to a list of your favorite TV channels. Each button can be set to instantly select the channel on your TV. There are five pages of eight favorite channel buttons for a total of 40. Simply touch the PAGE buttons to display the other favorite channels.

Favorite Channel Buttons

To setup your Favorite Channel buttons go to page 22.
The Customizer Adjusting Contrast
You can make the text darker by pressing both the MAIN and cursor UP buttons at the same time. To make the text appear lighter, press both the MAIN and cursor DOWN buttons at the same time.
Cursor Up & Down Buttons

Contrast set low.

Contrast set high.
Transmitting (Busy Signal) Icon
When a command is being transmitted, an icon will appear in the top right corner of the display. It is a useful aid when setting up Macros and FAVs, since it flashes with every step of a sequence of commands.

Advanced Setup

After youve finished all your basic setup, you can choose to make operation easier by customizing the Customizer just the way you want, using the Advanced Setup features described in this section.

Editing Button Labels

You can change the name of any of the display buttons (including Favorite Channels) by following these steps:
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 dont press a button within that time, the Customizer will time out and return to normal operation.

Press the EDIT button.

EDIT Button
The display changes to the EDIT menu. Press the TEXT button.

TEXT Button

The screen displays the list of devices and EDIT will appear at the top of the screen. Navigate to the device and page where there is a button label you want to EDIT, selecting between the FAV, MAIN, DEVICE; then using the PAGE button. Note: If you wish to change the name of a DEVICE button, press the Page Up button twice. The top of the display changes to MAIN, and you can navigate to MAIN page 1 or page 2 before going on to Step 5.
Press the button you wish to edit. The first character of your button label blinks.

Blinking Character

EDIT flashes at the bottom of the screen. UP Cursor button deletes ALL text.
LEFT Cursor button moves blinking character left.
RIGHT Cursor button moves blinking character right.
DOWN Cursor button deletes the currently blinking character.
Change the character by using any of the number keys. Each press of the same number button selects the next character of that numbers group, as shown below.

A,B,C,1 J,K,L,4 S,T,U,7

D,E,F,2 M,N,O,5 V,W,X,8

G,H,I,3 P,Q,R,6 Y,Z,9

Once the character you want appears, move to the next space by pressing the RIGHT cursor button. When you are finished editing the button, press the button you edited and SAVED will flash at the bottom of the display. To change any other button labels on the same device, press the next button, then repeat steps 6-8. If you wish to edit a button on another device, press the MAIN button once, then repeat Steps 4-8.
Once youve finished editing buttons, press the MAIN button four times to return to normal operation.
The Customizer Macro Button Setup
Imagine turning on your TV, your DVD player and your surround sound receiver by pressing a single button on your Customizer! What would normally take three remotes and three button pushes, the Customizer can accomplish with the press of one button. We call that a Macro. Any of the Display buttons, the Power On or the Power Off buttons (on any Device or Page) can be set to be Macro buttons! To setup a macro button, follow these easy steps:

Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both the MAIN and ENT buttons for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Customizer will time out automatically.
Press the MACRO button. The top of the display will show MACRO. The bottom of the display will flash SELECT. Navigate to the Device and Page where there is a button you would like to set as a Macro button using the MAIN, DEVICE, and PAGE buttons.
Advanced Options: If you wish to set one of the DEVICE buttons as a macro, on step 3, press the Page Up button twice. The top of the display changes to MAIN, and you can navigate to MAIN page 1 or page 2 before going on to Step 4. Another option for DEVICE button macros is to only send the macro if the button is pressed and held. This is setup by entering a delay as the first step of the macro. The amount of delay determines how long the user must press the button before the macro is sent. The advantage of this option is that a normal press of the DEVICE button will simply switch devices without issuing the macro.
Press the button you want to set as a Macro button. The top of the screen will display the label of the button you selected. At the bottom of the screen it displays STEP0, indicating that no macro steps have been entered yet. Navigate to the Device and Page that has a button you want in your macro using the MAIN, DEVICE and PAGE buttons. Then press the button with the command you want. Whenever a button is pressed, another Macro step is counted and displayed at the bottom of the screen. Dont worry about the number of steps. Each macro button can store up to 190 steps, so you are not likely to run out of steps! Note: You can program delays in between commands by pressing the PAUSE button. Each press adds half a second to the delay.
Press the LIGHT button to end your macro. A new screen appears:
SAVE If you are happy with your macro, press the

SAVE button.

UNDO The UNDO button lets you erase the last step. EXIT The EXIT button erases all the macro steps.
Press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operation.
The Customizer Favorite Channel Setup
Imagine surfing all your favorite channels, without ever typing in a channel number. By simply setting up each of the favorite channel buttons, you can make TV, cable or satellite operation fun and easy. To setup a Favorite Channel button, follow these steps:
Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Customizer will time out automatically.

Press the FAV display button.

FAV Button

The top of the display will show FAV. The bottom of the display will flash SELECT.
Use the Page buttons until you can see the name (i.e.,ABC, CBS, NBC) of the favorite channel you wish to setup. Press the favorite channel button you wish to setup. The top of the screen changes to show the channel name. The bottom of the screen displays STEP0, indicating that you have not entered the channel number yet. Press either the TV, SAT or CABLE Device button (select the device you use to enter channel numbers).
Press each of the number buttons for the channel. Note: If a number is repeated when setting the channel (for example, channel 33 or 522) it is usually best to set a half second delay in between the identical numbers by pressing the PAUSE button. Each press of the PAUSE button increases the delay by a half second.

PAUSE Button

Note: Some brands of television require an ENT(Enter) command after the channel numbers.
Press the LIGHT button after you enter the channel number. A new screen appears:
To save the channel you entered, press the SAVE button. The UNDO button lets you erase the last entry. The EXIT button erases all entries for this button. When you are finished setting up Favorite Channel buttons, press the MAIN button twice to return to normal operation.
The Customizer Hiding and Adding Pages
Each of your Customizer Devices actually contains five pages. However, only four pages are visible in the factory default setting. One page is hidden in each device. If you wish to use the hidden page, you can ADD it. If you dont want to use some of the existing pages, you can HIDE them. You can add or hide pages on devices OR on your favorite channel pages using this simple process: Note: Be sure to program your Macros before you hide pages with potential macro in them. You cant access hidden pages during macro setup. However, after you finish Macro setup, you can hide pages without affecting operation of your macros.

Press the PAGE button.

PAGE Button
PAGE appears at the top of the screen. Now, you can navigate to any page, using the MAIN, DEVICE, FAV, and PAGE buttons.

PAGE Buttons MAIN Button

DEVICE Buttons FAV Button
When you select a page, the top of the screen indicates whether you want to ADD? or HIDE? the page displayed. When you would like to change a pages visibility, press the LIGHT button.
This page is hidden. To ADD it, press the LIGHT button.
This page is visible. To HIDE it, press the LIGHT button.
You can continue to ADD or HIDE pages on other devices by repeating Steps 4 and 5. When you are finished adding and hiding pages, press the MAIN button four times to return to normal operation.
The Customizer Overview of Erasing
You can erase an individual button with a learned command, a macro or a favorite channel. You can erase an entire Devices learned command or macro buttons. You can also erase ALL your learned commands on all devices or all your macros or favorite channels everywhere. If you really want a fresh start, it is possible to reset everything to the factory default condition.

If you press KEY, youll have to navigate to the Device and Page you want using the MAIN, DEVICE and PAGE buttons. Press a button to erase it. The bottom of the display will flash ERASE twice, then ERASED.
To return to normal operating mode, press the MAIN button four times.
Erasing the Entire Customizer
To erase EVERYTHING, press and hold both the MAIN and the STOP buttons for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the RESET screen appears. Press the ALL button. The Customizer will display a SURE? button. Press the SURE button to erase all of your settings and return to the factory default setup.
The Customizer Cloning One Customizer to Another
If you own two or more Customizers, you can copy and transfer all the setup from one Customizer to another. Just follow these easy steps:
Press a PAGE button to display page two of Setup. Press the CLONE button. Align the two Customizers head-to-head, about an inch apart.
Press the RECV display button on the new Customizer you would like to setup by cloning. Press the SEND display button on the Customizer you previously setup. Press the START button on the new Customizer and then press the START button on the Customizer you previously setup. Note: Cloning typically takes about 40 seconds. After completion, the cloned Customizer will flash GOOD.
Return to normal operation by pressing the MAIN button twice.
URC-300 Recalling Pre-Programmed Settings
If you didnt write down the code numbers you setup your Customizer with, you can recall them via this simple process:
Press the RECAL button. The display changes to the recall screens. Each of the four screens displays the Device Name and the Code Number.
Note: Use the page buttons to display any of the four pages of devices and their code numbers.
Write down the code numbers as they appear. Page 32 of this manual gives a convenient list for you to note your settings. Return to normal operation by pressing the MAIN button twice.

The Optional Expander

You can use the Customizer as you would your other remote controls. It transmits very powerful line-of-sight output using infrared light commands (invisible to the naked eye). When you point the Customizer at the components, expect the range to be between 30 and 50 feet. When the remote is not pointed in the general direction of the components, the range will vary (depending on reflective surfaces, lighting, etc.). However, the Customizer also sends radio signals in every direction. By purchasing the optional Expander (a radio receiver), you can operate your equipment with the Customizer 50 to 100 feet away (through walls, doors, cabinets, inside or outside). Since the Expander picks up the Customizer's radio signals from any direction, regardless of distance, the Customizer doesnt have to be pointed! Nothing has to be done to the Customizer for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on the Customizer, it sends both a standard infrared command AND a radio signal. If you install the Expander kit, the MRF-100 will receive the Customizers radio signals and translate them into the infrared commands that control your components.
Note: The Customizer's radio signals will not control components directly. You must have an Expander to receive the Customizer's radio signals. Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the Customizer unless the component can be switched to standard infrared control via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the Customizer.
The Customizer sends radio signal to the Expander, which is a radio receiver.
The Expander converts radio signals to standard infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front blaster to components in the same cabinet space.
Self-adhesive flashers (included in the Expander kit) affix to the front panels of your components. The flashers relay infrared commands to components out-of-sight of the MRF-100 front blaster. The flashers plug into the MRF-100 rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher has a 10 cable to easily reach components on nearby shelves.
Pre-Programmed Code Notes
Record the three digit codes for your system here:
TV CABLE/WEB TV DVD VCR AUDIO SAT CD DVR LDP LIGHT TAPE AUX PHONO
Pre-Programmed Code Tables
The Customizers Pre-Programmed code library is divided into categories (TV, VCR, AUX, etc.). Each category actually includes many types of components. For example, the VCR category includes TV/VCR combo units. Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by brand (Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more than one three digit code for you to try. Just circle the correct row and refer to it while you setup (step by step instructions for using Pre-Programmed codes are found on page 5).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a macro button?

It is a Customizer button you set to make a lot of things happen when you press it. For example, to watch a DVD in most home theaters requires several remote controls and many button presses (power up the TV, power up the surround sound, power up the DVD player, set the TV to the correct video input, set the surround sound to the correct audio input and finally; press play on the DVD player remote control). Instead of pressing all of those buttons one at a time, the Customizer enables you to setup one button that does it all automatically with one press. For more information on how and why you should setup macro buttons, watch the Quick Setup DVD tutorial or read pages 20-21.
If the batteries run out, will I lose my settings?
No. The Customizer stores all of your settings in non-volatile FLASH memory. You could remove the batteries for months, replace them at your convenience and the Customizer would still remember your settings.
Who can I call for more answers?
The Universal Remote Control technical support and customer service staff are ready to answer any questions you might have. Call us at 1-914-835-4484 Monday - Friday, 9AM to 6PM (EST)
