Assign buttons MCE Remote

It seems that not many people know, and I also found out recently that you can reprogram some buttons on the standard RC6 console from Microsoft: TV, VOL +, VOL-. Let's see how.


Buttons, alas, only 3: TV, VOL +, VOL -. However, they are quite enough to actually turn on / off the TV (or other device), as well as adjust the volume on the receiver with the remote control.

So, to record the action on the button, do the following:

1. We have remote controls (RC6 and the one from which we write the command) infrared ports to each other at a short distance
2. Clamp the DVD Menu and OK buttons on RC6 until the backlight goes out (about 2 seconds)
3. Click on the button that we want to program, while the backlight blinks
4. Press the button on the remote sources, the command with which we want to copy
   If RC6 recorded a command, the backlight will flash 2 times. If the command could not be recognized, the backlight will flash 4 times.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the remaining buttons.

To reset all recorded buttons:

1. Hold down the DVD Menu and Left until the lights go out.
2. Click OK

The remote control should blink 2 times, confirming the return to factory settings. Alternatively, they say you can remove the batteries for a while - the effect should be the same.

Unfortunately, not all consoles are programmed this way.
