Instructions for use

english

We thank you for the confidence you prove in purchasing our product. We encourage you to read this manual carefully before use. It will help you in handling and operating this device in your system. Please especially take note of the instructions at the beginning of the manual.

This single touchscreen remote control RC-572 allows you to control all of your devices that react to infrared commands. You can customize the display page layout. If you connect a computer via USB, you can edit the designs of the main device pages in a more convenient way.

This system remote control set comes with a database for all Vincent devices (as of august 2008). Additionally, infrared code data for a large number of infrared controllable devices of different brands has been added. If one of your devices should not be covered in the database, you can always create own remote control key pages and copy infrared commands using your original remote control set. If you find yourself repeatedly using an identical sequence of infrared commands you can program it into a one-touch shortcut (macro).

MAIN PAGE "HOME"

The heading title bar appears on almost all pages to show what (sub-) page you have entered. If for some seconds no input is given the display switches off and at the next touch to the display surface returns to the main HOME page.

The HOME pages show in its middle area the device keys, one key for the main MENU and one key for the MACRO list. On the first of the HOME pages up to 8 device keys can be displayed. All other device keys are located on the other pages. You can browse all HOME pages using the page selection keys (6)(7). In the title bar the device page number is displayed (P1, P2, ...).

The key MACRO provides access to the list of macros that have been programmed by the user before (see section "Create macros").

A touch to the key MENU presents the main menu where you can take all actions necessary to change global settings, edit macros, copy device infrared control functions or edit the function key page layout. A mathematical calculator and a memory status page are also available via this menu.

MAIN PAGE "HOME"

BASIC OPERATION

Point the front of the remote control directly at the front of the appliance, making sure there are no objects between the remote control and the appliance. The distance between the remote control and the appliance should not be more than 7m , as the reliability of the remote control is affected beyond this range. Make sure that you do not point the remote control at an elevated angle to the appliance, as beyond an angle of ± 30^ to the centre axis the appliance may not respond well to the remote control.

Function keys (example)

1. On the HOME page use the page selection keys (6)(7), if necessary. The page number is displayed in the title bar.
   II. Choose a device key. If an infrared command has bee assigned to this key, the associated infrared signal is sent now.
   III. Choose the function key (e.g. "on/off"), the corresponding infrared signal is transmitted.
   IV. The infrared transmitter symbol appears in the title bar of the display.

Please note: If a function key has not been programmed with an infrared command yet, it is displayed in half tone (dim, greyed). A touch to this key then has no effect.

V. If the desired function key is located on one of the other function key pages, you can browse the pages using one of the page selection keys (6)(7).
VI. Again, the page number (P1, P2, ...) is displayed in the title bar.
VII. Press the HOME key to return to the device selection.

Macros (example)

1. On the HOME page chose MACRO. If not a single macro has been defined before, the list is empty (see section "Create macros").
2. If necessary use the page selection keys (6)(7).
3. On the macro page, touch the key of the desired macro. The programmed sequence of infrared commands is transmitted.

SETTING UP THE REMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR DEVICES Delete all unused pre- programmed devices 1. On the HOME page select MENU, the EDIT, followed by FORMAT & LABELLING. Now choose EDIT DEVICE. 2. Switch to the page that contains the desired device key using the page selection keys (6)(7). 3. Touch the desired device key. A pop-up menu opens offering add- tional commands. Choose DEL and confirm with YES. Should you accidentally have chosen the wrong device key, you can leave the pop-up menu pressing EXIT. When you use the remote control for the first time, it is program- med for all Vincent devices avail- able until august 2008. To set up the remote control for your devi- ces you only need to delete all device keys of devices you don't own and add new device keys for all non-Vincent devices. 4. Repeat steps (2) and (3) until all device keys that you don't want to use are deleted. 5. Return to the HOME page with the key .Vincent

Add new device controls from the internal database

The most convenient way to add remote control functions for one of your devices to this remote controller is loading the corresponding data set from the database. All Vincent devices that had been released before August 2008 are supported. All devices that are not supported must be added manually and every function key must learn its command from the original remote control set. That will be described after the current section.

1. On the HOME page, select MENU, then SETTING, followed by PRE-LOAD and PRE-CODE. Now you see the list of device categories.
2. Choose the category of the device you are adding controls for (e.g. TV). For a Vincent device select "HIFI".
3. From the following list, select the brand of your device (e.g. "Vincent").

Now you can see a certain number of code numbers or, in the case of Vincent devices, some device designations.
4. Choose the appropriate designation in case of a Vincent device (note: SAVCX stands for SAVC1, SAVC2 etc.), otherwise select the first code number in the list (e.g. "016"). Now the first function

key page of this data set appears. For any non-Vincent device try some of the function keys on your device. If necessary, use the page selection keys (6)(7).

1. If your device reacts properly to the infrared commands, confirm the selection with OK.
2. If your device does not react to the infrared commands, press the key and choose the next code number. Once again, try some of the functions on your device. Repeat this until you found the correct code number or tested every one of them. The key returns to the main page. If your device does not react with any of the codes, you must add and program the controls manually with the help of the original remote control set.

Add and edit a new device key

If your device is not supported in the database you have the option of creating the display pages yourself and of copying original remote commands to self defined function keys.

Add a new device key to the HOME page:

(A) You can create a new device key with an associated function key page. Each HOME page can carry up to 8 device keys.

a) In case you want the new device key to be appended to the existing ones: On the HOME page select MENU, then EDIT, followed by FORMAT & LABELLING and EDIT DEVICE. Now touch the key ADD DEVICE from the bottom row. One new device key is inserted to the first empty place on the HOME pages.
b) In case you want the new key to be inserted to a certain place: On the HOME page select MENU, then EDIT, followed by

FORMAT & LABELLING and EDIT DEVICE. Now touch one of the device keys neighbouring the desired position. Subsequently, either press INSERT (will insert directly before the current device key) or APPEND (will insert directly following the current device key). These actions are only possible if there is at least one empty place for a device key on the page. The function key pages of the new created device are empty. A touch on the key EXIT leaves the pop-up menu.

(B) You can spare yourself many steps, if you create a device by loading a similar one (of the same category, e.g. TV) from the database as described in the previous section, then edit the function key pages.

Clone, rename, move or delete a device key

COPY

RENAME

INSERT

APPEND

MOVE

DEL

EXIT

On the HOME page select MENU, then EDIT, followed by FORMAT & LABELLING and EDIT DEVICE. If necessary use the page selection keys (6)(7) and touch the desired device key. A text menu opens offering the following options:

(A) Clone a device key: The option COPY adds a new device key to the first empty place on all pages. That new key represents an exact copy of the selected device key (including the function key page properties and infrared commands).
(B) Rename a device key: A touch to the option RENAME opens a page that shows on top the current device key name or the symbol. In the middle there is a keypad with letters and the numbers 0..9. Below there are some selection keys. The key deletes the last character. The key is used to start the second line. The keys SYMBOL and LET-TER allow you to switch between the two keypads for basic characters and special characters. There is nor way to add German

umlauts. The key SMALL switches to small character size, the key LARGE switches to a bigger character size. The key Space is used to add a whitespace character. The key Cap (Caps, also: Shift) switches between capital letters and lower case letters. A maximum of 8 characters can be assigned in two rows (including the invisible NEWLINE character). The key SAVE ends the process.

(C) Add a device key: INSERT places a new device key directly before the current device key (if there is at least one empty place on the page) and moves all other device keys in a corresponding way. APPEND adds a new device key as well but places it after the current one. You can quit the menu with the key EXIT.
(D) Move a device key: The option MOVE makes arrow symbols appear on top. Use them to move the device key to a different, empty place on the same page and press OK to drop it there. The key EXIT returns to the device list without changes. If the

device key is to be moved to a different HOME page, use the page selection keys (6)(7) instead of the arrow keys.

(E) Delete a device key: If you select the entry DEL and confirm with YES, the current device key is removed from the list. You can abort this action and return to the device list by pressing NO.
(F) Leave the sub menu: EXIT has the effect of returning to the device list. You can edit one of the other device keys from there or return to the HOME pages using the key.

Edit the function key page

On the HOME page select MENU, then EDIT, followed by FORMAT & LABELLING and EDIT DEVICE KEY. Choose the device the function keys of which you want to edit. Now you have the following options:

(A) Delete a function key: On all function key pages (accessible through the page selection keys (6)(7)), touch every function key that you don't need, choose DEL from the pop-up menu and confirm with YES.

(B) Rename a function key: Touch the desired function kley. After you selected RENAME a page opens that shows on top the current function key name or a symbol. In the middle there is a keypad with letters and the numbers 0..9. Below there are some selection keys. The key deletes

the last character. The key is used to start the second line. The keys SYMBOL and LETTER allow you to switch between the two keypads for basic characters and special characters. There is nor way to add German umlauts. The key SMALL switches to small character size, the key LARGE switches to a bigger character size. The key Space is used to add a whitespace character. The key Cap (Caps, also: Shift) switches between capital letters and lower case letters. Depending on the size and shape of the key a defined maximum number of characters can be assigned over two lines. It is possible to exchange the text designation with a symbol by choosing the key

SYMBOL, browsing with the page selection keys (6)[7] and choosing one of the symbols. The key SAVE ends the process.

(C) Move a function key: Touch the desired function key. If you select MOVE, arrow symbols appear. Use them to move the function key to a different, empty place on the same page and press OK to drop it there. Note that function keys must not touch each other or overlap. The key EXIT returns to the function key page without changes. If the func

tion key is to be moved to a different page, use the page selection keys (6)(7) instead of the arrow keys.

(D) Change shape/size of a function key: Select the desired function key. When you touch the option KEY SIZE/SHAPE you have the choice between 3 different key shapes (circle/ellipse, rectangle, arrow key pad). Only the three of them are available. After you selected one you see a preview of the key area that you can resize now by touching the surrounding area (where the bottom right corner will be placed). In addition to that you can use the arrow keys on screen to move the key on the page. Use the page selection keys (6)(7) to move the key to another function key page. Press OK to save the design or EXIT to quit this action.

Edit the function key page

You obtain further options to edit the function key page after you do the following: on the HOME page select MENU, then EDIT, followed by FOR-MAT & LABELLING and EDIT DEVICE KEY. Select the device to which the desired function keys belong. From the bottom row select EDIT. Now you have the following choices:

ADD KEY

EXIT

(E) Add a function key: This is only possible on a page where there is enough free space for a new key. Touch the entry ADD KEY and choose from the available shapes (circle/ellipse, rectangle, arrow key pad). Now you see a preview of the new key that you can resize now by touching the surrounding area (where the bottom right corner will be placed). In addition to that you can use the arrow keys on screen to move the key on the page. Use the page selection keys (6)[7] to move the key to another function key page. Press OK to save the design or EXIT to quit this action.
(F) Add a new function key page: Use the page selection keys (6)[7] to go to one of the function key pages next to the position where you want to insert a new one. Now you can use INSERT PAGE

to add the new empty page before the currently visible page or APPEND PAGE to add it behind the currently visible page.

(G) Delete a function key page: Use the page selection keys (6)(7) to go to the function key page to delete. Touch the option DELETE PAGE and confirm with YES so that the current page is deleted. If you choose NO instead, the action is aborted.

COPY ORIGINAL INFRARED FUNCTIONS TO DEVICE KEYS AND FUNCTION KEYS

Function keys which do not belong to devices loaded from the database can only be equipped with infrared commands using the learning feature and the original remote control.

Place both remote controls on a flat surface in a way that remote senders and transmitters face each other as shown left:

Head to Head 2-3 inches (5 - 8cm) apart

Copy an original infrared command to a device key

Even the device keys on the HOME page have the ability to learn an infrared command that is sent every time the key is pressed. It is not possible to delete this command later without deleting the key; you can only overwrite the old command in a new learning process.

1. On the HOME page select MENU, then LEARN, followed by LEARN DEVICE. Choose the device key that is supposed to receive the new function, if necessary use the page selection keys (6)(7).

1. After a learning trial other device keys can be programmed in the same way, just touch the desired key.

2. The display reads "Learning..." and both remote controls should oppose each other. Hold down the original remote control key until the display reads "Learn OK!". If the signal is received erroneous, the display shows the text "LEARN ERROR" and the old infrared function (if any) of the device key will be kept. If no signal is received, the display reads "NO DATA" and the old infrared function (if any) of the device key will be kept. Check in both cases if the batteries of the original remote control are used up and if both controls are positioned face-to-face while learning.

Copy an original infrared command to a function key

Every function key can learn a (new) infrared function even in case the device was loaded from the database. Note that the "real" buttons below the display (8)(9)(10)(11)(12) can also learn commands but have no function as long as one of the HOME pages is visible.

1. On the HOME page select MENU, then LEARN, followed by LEARN DEVICE KEY. Now press the device key to which the function key to be programmed belongs and select the desired function key.
2. The display now reads "Learning" and both remote controls should oppose each other. Hold down the original remote control key until the display reads "Learn OK!". If the signal is received erroneous, the display shows the text "LEARN ERROR" and the old infrared function (if any) of the function key will be kept. If no signal is received, the display

reads "NO DATA" and the old infrared function (if any) of the function key will be kept. Check in both cases if the batteries of the original remote control are used up and if both controls are positioned face-to-face while learning.

1. After a learning trial other function keys can be programmed in the same way, just touch the desired key.

Copy cyclic changing infrared commands to a function key

Instead of programming one command to a function key you can make it learn up to five infrared functions of which it will send just the next in line every time the key is pressed. Some original remote controls have buttons that behave like this, but you can also define that cycle yourself. The difference compared to a macro is the fact that only one command is sent each time the key is touched. Even when a device has been loaded from the database you can make its function keys learn cyclic commands.

1. On the HOME page select MENU, then LEARN, followed by ADVANCE LEARN. Now choose the device to which the function key to be programmed belongs and touch the desired function key.
2. The display now reads "Learning" as well as "LEVEL 1" and both remote controls should oppose each other. Hold down the original remote control key for the first command until the display reads "Learn OK!". If the signal is received erroneous, the display shows the text "LEARN ERROR" and the old infrared function (if any) of the function key will be kept. If no signal is received, the display reads "NO DATA" and the old infrared function (if any) of the function key will be kept. Check in both cases if the batteries of the original remote control are used up and if both controls are positioned face-to-face while learning.
3. After the first command has been accepted you can add the second command by touching the function key again. The display

now reads "Learning" as well as "LEVEL 2" and again, both remote controls should oppose each other. Hold down the original remote control key for the second command until the display reads "Learn OK!".

1. Add more infrared functions as described in (3.). After 5 commands have been transferred successfully, every additional learning cycle overwrites the command next in the already programmed sequence starting with step 1.
2. You can now equip other function keys with a cyclic sequence of commands or return to the HOME page using the button

CREATE MACROS

A macro is a defined sequence of infrared commands that will be transmitted one after the other when the macro key is pressed. The commands may be originated from different devices. One example is a sequence that turns on the TV set, switches the TV to its A/V input, turns on the DVD player and starts DVD playback. Before a macro can be programmed please make sure that every designated function has a function key among the devices of the universal remote control.

Create and edit a macro key

1. On the HOME page select MENU, then EDIT, followed by MACRO.
2. Now touch the key EDIT MACRO. The macro list is displayed (empty at first) and allows the following choice:

(A) To append a new macro key press ADD MACRO from the bottom line. If the list already has more than one page the new key is added on the last page.

(B) To edit one of the existing macro keys just touch it. A pop-up menu appears and gives you the following options:

a) Rename a macro key: Press RENAME and see on top the current name of the macro. In the middle there is a keypad with letters and the numbers 0..9. Below there are some selection keys. The key deletes the last character. The keys SYMBOL and LETTER allow you to switch between the two keycaps for basic characters and special characters. There is no way to add German umlauts. The key SMALL switches to small character size, the key LARGE switches to a bigger character size. The key Space is used to add a whitespace character. The key Cap (Caps, also: Shift) switches between capital letters and lower case let ters. The key SAVE ends the process.
b) Insert a macro key: The entry INSERT inserts a new key to the position of the selected

macro key and moves the selected and the following macros one step down the list. The key APPEND inserts the new key below the selected macro key and moves the keys following the selected macro one step down the list. All that is only possible if there is one empty place on the page.

c) Move a macro key: The option MOVE brings arrow keys on the display. Use these up/down keys to move the macro key to a different empty position on the page and drop it with OK. If the macro key is to be moved to another page use the page selection keys (6)(7). You can return to the macro list without changes touching EXIT.
d) Delete a macro key: Select DEL and confirm with YES to remove the selected macro from the list. The answer NO returns without changes to the macro list.
e) Exit without changes: Return to the macro list without changes by choosing the menu entry EXIT.
