Once you create the favorite device page, it will appear as a default device page. Please refer to COPY in EDITING Section on page 21 for details. There are also four pages of the LCD screen for each device and you can use them to create, delete or edit any functional buttons to customize with your audio/video components. Please refer to EDITING on page 20 for details. B. Pre-programmed Codes: The MX-1000 comes with preprogrammed codes for practically all the major audio and video equipment that are on the market. You can operate all of your components with the MX-1000 simply by punching in the three-digit code number that is assigned to your brand. The code numbers for various brands and components are listed in the instruction manual. Please refer to the programming instruction shown on page 9 for details. C. Learning: The MX-1000 can also learn practically all the codes from your original remote controls. There are 50 LCD screens in the remote control and all the functional buttons in the LCD can be taught. In addition, there are eleven rubber buttons and a joystick that contains five functions. Each of these buttons and the joystick functions can be taught in each of the twelve devices. As a whole, you can teach up to 780 new functions into the remote control. Please refer to page 12 in the instruction manual for details. The remote control goes through self-testing for three seconds after the batteries are installed and automatically moves to setting mode for your programming.
