However, Xantech's arsenal of other infrared accessory items may help if you have a 455kHz device, such as some Kenwood and all Bang & Olufsen: their MS455 is designed specifically to translate a 40kHz carrier into 455kHz. The URC-2 is able to learn infrared frequencies ranging from 31kHz to 71kHz - not the most comprehensive coverage out there. Xantech's manual promises that you'll have to work hard to fill up the entire amount of memory they've provided - which I was unable to do with my entire home theater system. But when you consider how much memory is included isn't nearly as important as how efficiently it's used, this seemingly small number becomes meaningless. The specifications for Xantech's URC-2 indicate that there's 32kb of space - which compared to other remotes seems rather limited. Many otherwise excellent products have been hampered by a too-small amount of learning space. What could be simpler?Ī common concern to shoppers is exactly how much memory a remote control has to hold infrared codes. To delete a learned key, hold and the key. If you'd like to learn a command onto one of the device buttons - which will be transmitted each time that device is selected - press the component button twice.
If it instead flashes amber, the code didn't take and you must try again. Press and hold the button on the original remote control and, when the light starts blinking again, the code has been successfully taught. Select one of the 40 available user keys and the status light stops blinking and stays lit. The URC-2 is now waiting for you to select a button. The status light will start blinking green, while the selected device stays steady amber. To learn codes, hold the key and device button that you'd like to learn on. Surprisingly, the programming capabilities provided by the base remote are limited to just learning and macros - so the URC-2 really shouldn't take a lot of time to set up. Using the supplied "remote setup" template, which marks all necessary functions, helps make the process uncomplicated the manual will likely only be needed for advanced programming. Given that there's no LCD display on the URC-2, all configuration is accomplished through various button combinations. Further, as the PC software features the capability to share infrared codes amongst others, this becomes even less of a worry. But as the URC-2 is marketed to the custom installer circle who are usually working with new equipment, this wasn't really a concern. You need a functional remote from which to capture codes.
Although this is often the most versatile type of remote available - usually with more than enough memory to teach whatever, wherever - the downside is that they can't be used to replace the functions of lost or broken remotes. The URC-2 is a learning-only remote control, meaning that there are absolutely no preprogrammed codes.
