Learn Feature
What Is the Learn Feature?
The Learn feature captures remote commands from your television remote, and teaches your bar speaker to operate when these commands are pressed. Power, volume and mute are a few examples of commands that the bar speaker can learn.
Why Use the Learn Feature?
Teaching the bar speaker remote commands will reduce the number of remotes needed, save time searching for remote codes, and improve the ease of operation.
Note: Not all functions of the sound bar will be available through your own remote control, such as bass and treble. Use the included remote for these functions. While ITB296 is able to learn most IR protocols, not all can be programmed.
Using the Learn Feature

- Press the Learn button on the unit.
- The programmed button on your remote will now be able to control your sound bar. Note: It is necessary to program each button on your remote separately.
