Basic Setup - Overview  
There are two ways to program the RF30:  
• The Pre-Programmed Code Method  
• The Learning Method  
The Pre-Programmed Code Method allows you to set up  
all the buttons at once, so it’s the fastest and easiest of  
the two methods. The Learning Method allows you to  
transfer functions from other remotes (old or new), one  
button at a time.  
Pre-Programmed Code Method  
STEP 1:  
STEP 2:  
STEP 3:  
The pre-programmed 3-digit  
codes are found in the back of  
this Manual on page 44. The  
codes are listed by Component  
category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD,  
etc.), then by brand name. For  
instance, if you want to locate  
a code for a Sony TV, first  
locate the TV category, and  
then look for the Sony brand.  
Now, turn on the Component  
you want to program... let’s say  
your TV to start. Look up your  
TV’s manufacturer setup code  
from your reference list.  
Press and hold the MAIN and ENT  
(Enter) buttons at the same time  
for approximately 3 seconds, until  
the word “SETUP” is displayed at  
the top of the LCD touch screen.  
This signals that you are now in  
setup mode.  
IMPORTANT:  
You now have 30 seconds to perform  
the next step while you are in SETUP  
mode. If you don’t press a button  
within 30 seconds, SETUP will disap-  
pear from the screen, signaling that  
you have exited setup mode and you  
will need to start over.  
Once you have located the  
3-digit code (or in some cases,  
several code numbers) for the  
Component that you want to  
operate with your RF30, write  
them ALL down on a piece of  
note paper. It’s important that  
you write down all the codes  
because only one code is going  
to work for you.

The screen will then display the  
seven Components (and FAV) on  
Page 1 of the MAIN menu.  
STEP 4:  
Press the P-PRO button to select  
the Pre-Programmed Method.  
STEP 5:  
STEP 6:  
Press the Component button  
you want to program. For  
example: If you want to setup  
the TV Component button,  
press the TV Component but-  
ton. The display at the bottom  
of the LCD screen will flash  
“FROM - TABLE”.  
In this step you verify the type  
of component you plan to  
operate with this component  
button. For example: If you plan  
to operate the TV component  
with the TV button, simply press  
the TV button once again.  
However, if for example you are  
setting up AUX to operate a  
second DVD Player, you would  
first need to press AUX in Step  
5, and then DVD in Step 6.

menu that lists an additional  
eight Components, simply press

NOTE:  
If the Component fails to turn off after you have entered  
all the code numbers listed for your brand, you can scan  
through all the other code numbers that are pre-loaded  
into the RF30 for that Component (in this case TV) by  
using the UP or DOWN buttons on the screen. (There is  
a chance that your Component was actually manufactured  
by another brand.) However, most of the code tables are  
so large that it is usually faster to use the Learning Method  
on Page 15.  
find a new correct code. For  
example, maybe your Sony TV  
turned off with code number 147,  
but the volume controls did not  
work properly. If this is the case,  
try the next code number listed  
for that Component until you find  
a perfect match.  
STEP 7:  
STEP 8:  
Point the RF30 toward the  
Component you want to  
When the Component turns off,  
press the ON button to turn the  
Component back on. Now you  
can test the Volume and  
program, (in this example, TV),  
and punch in the 3-digit code  
that you wrote down for that  
specific Component. Use the  
Number buttons 0-9 on the  
remote to punch in the code.  
If the 3-digit code number that  
you just punched in is correct,  
the Component will turn off. If  
the Component does not turn  
off, continue entering code  
numbers from your list until the  
Component turns off. Some  
brands have several possible  
code numbers.

Learning Method  
The RF30 can actually ‘learn’ commands from other remote  
controls (old or new), one-button-at-a-time, so it will never  
become obsolete. RF30 is the last remote you’ll ever need!  
Just follow these simple steps:  
STEP 1:

Components (and FAV) from  
Page 1 of the MAIN menu.  
On the RF30, press and hold the  
MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons  
at the same time for approxi-  
mately three seconds, until the  
word “SETUP” is displayed at  
the top of the LCD touch screen.  
This signals you are now in  
SETUP mode.  
To display Page 2 of the MAIN  
menu that lists an additional  
eight Components, simply press  
the ( or ) Page buttons at the  
bottom of the screen.  
NOTE: If you want to teach any com-  
mand to a Component button, press the  
Component button once the top of the  
screen displays “MAIN”, by pressing the  
PAGE button. The top of the screen will  
change to "READY". Then go to STEP 6.  
IMPORTANT:  
You now have 30 seconds to perform  
the next step while you are in SETUP  
mode. If you don’t press a button  
within 30 seconds, SETUP will disap-  
pear from the screen, signaling that  
you have exited setup mode and you

• Try tapping the button on your  
old remote instead of pressing  
and holding it during the  
learning process.  
STEP 5:  
STEP 6:  
STEP 7:  
Press any button on the RF30  
that you want to teach a  
command to. The top of the  
screen will change to "READY"  
and the bottom of the screen will  
display the button you pressed.  
Press and hold the button on the  
other remote control that you  
want to ‘teach’ to the RF30 until  
the LCD display on the RF30  
changes to either “GOOD” or  
“FAILD”. If the “GOOD” label  
appears on top of the display  
and “SAVED” flashes on the bot-  
tom, you were successful. If  
the “FAILD” label appears on  
top of the display, try ‘teaching’  
the same button to the RF30  
once again by repeating STEPS  
5 and 6.  
Now, continue to teach the RF30  
any other commands from your  
old remotes by repeating STEPS  
4 through 6 (to go back to STEP  
4, simply press MAIN once).  
Some additional Information  
regarding the Learning Process:  
STEP 8:  
Once you have completed  
teaching all the button  
commands to the RF30, return to  
normal operation by pressing the  
MAIN button twice.  
• Learned functions override any  
existing pre-programmed  
functions on the remote control.  
• All buttons can be learned  
except for the PAGE, MAIN and  
LIGHT buttons.  
NOTE: If you don’t see the display button  
you would like to teach on the LCD  
screen, use the ( or ) PAGE buttons at  
the bottom of the screen.The only  
buttons you can’t teach are the PAGE and  
MAIN buttons.  
Test all your new commands. If  
any of them don’t work, try the  
Learning Method again, follow-  
ing these suggestions:  
• Learned functions are  
automatically erased when a  
new function is learned on the  
same button.  
• Learned functions are retained  
even after a different Setup  
Code Number is programmed  
into the remote.  
• To return to an original pre-  
programmed function, a learned  
function must be erased.  
• Move to another room. Plasma  
TVs, sunlight, halogen or quartz  
lighting can interfere with the  
learning process.  
• Even though the old remote  
seems to be working fine, put in  
fresh alkaline batteries.  
• Gradually vary the distance  
between the remote controls.

MacroPower is a unique feature that enables you to turn  
all of your Components ON or OFF, at the same time, simply  
with the press of one button. We call that a “Macro”.  
What would normally take multiple remotes and button  
pushes, the RF30 can accomplish with the press of one  
button. In addition to the Power ON or OFF buttons, any of  
the Display buttons (on any Component or Page) can be set  
to be Macro buttons as well. Feel the power!

Another option for Component button macros is to only  
send the macro if the button is pressed and held. This is  
setup by entering a delay as the first step of the macro.  
The amount of delay determines how long the user must  
press the button before the macro is sent. The advantage  
of this option is that a normal press of the COMPONENT  
button will simply switch Components without sending  
the macro command.

Component frequently to use a group of  
controls, consider using Punch Through for  
another group, as listed here:  
VOL - Volume Up,Volume Down and  
Mute  
Turning OFF Backlighting

screen. Now, you can navigate to  
any page, using the MAIN,  
COMPONENT, FAV, and PAGE  
buttons.  
You can continue to ADD or  
HIDE pages on other devices  
by repeating Steps 4 and 5.  
Each of your RF30 Components actually contains five  
pages. However, only four pages are visible in the factory  
default setting. One page is hidden in each Component.  
If you wish to use the hidden page, you can ADD it. If you  
don’t want to use some of the existing pages, you can HIDE

The RF30 sends radio signal to the PowerBlaster , which  
The Optional PowerBlaster  
is a radio receiver.  
(for ‘barrier-free’ RF control)  
[Sold separately]  
Of all the fabulous RF30 features, this is probably the most  
exciting. When used in combination with the optional  
TM  
PowerBlaster , the RF30 becomes an amazing remote  
control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio  
Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and  
floors - both indoors and outdoors.  
This changes everything! It enables you to control  
Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’  
TM  
The PowerBlaster converts radio signals to standard  
TM  
away. The PowerBlaster picks up RF30’s radio frequency  
infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front  
blaster to Components in the same cabinet space.  
signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF30  
doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any Component.  
Just imagine - no more pointing! Now you can close your  
entertainment center doors, hide your Components, and  
still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on  
your patio. Control your Components anywhere!  
One of the best things about this is - nothing has to be  
done to the RF30 for this feature to work. Every time you  
press a button on the RF30, it sends both a standard IR  
(Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Frequency) signal.  
TM  
If you install the PowerBlaster kit, it will automatically  
receive RF30’s radio signals and translate them into the  
infrared commands that control your Components.  
NOTE: The RF30's radio signals will not control Components  
TM  
directly. You must have a PowerBlaster to receive the  
RF30's radio signals. Components that came with “no  
pointing” radio remote controls cannot be operated by the  
RF30 unless the Component can be switched to standard IR  
(Infrared Control) via its internal menus. Some remote  
control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated  
by the RF30.  
TM  
Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the PowerBlaster kit)  
affix to the front panels of your Components. The flashers  
relay infrared commands to Components out-of-sight of the  
PowerBlaster’s front blaster. The flashers plug into  
PowerBlaster’s rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher  
has a 10’ cable to easily reach Components on nearby  
shelves.

Pre-Programmed Code Notes  
Pre-Programmed Code Tables  
Record the three digit codes for your system here:  
The RF30’s Pre-Programmed code library is divided into  
categories (TV, VCR, AUX, etc.). Each category actually  
includes many types of Components. For example, the VCR  
category includes TV/VCR combo units.  
AUDIO  
DVD  
CD  
Within each category, the code numbers are listed in rows by  
brand (Sony, Panasonic, B & K, etc.). Some brands have more  
than one three digit code for you to try. Just circle the correct  
row and refer to it while you setup (step by step instructions  
for using Pre-Programmed codes are found on page 7).

Frequently Asked Questions  
Warranty  
TM  
What is a “macro” button?  
Universal Remote Control’s Mastercontrol RF30 is  
covered against any manufacturers defects or  
workmanship for a period of one year from the date of  
purchase if purchased from an authorized Universal  
Remote Control dealer. Units purchased from online  
auction sites or other unauthorized resellers have no  
warranty. This warranty does not cover the following  
items:  
A “macro” is a button on the RF30 that you setup to make  
a lot of things happen when you press it. For example, to  
watch a DVD in most home theaters requires several  
remote controls and many button presses (power up the  
TV, power up the surround sound, power up the DVD  
player, set the TV to the correct video input, set the  
surround sound to the correct audio input and finally;  
press play on the DVD player remote control).  
- Damage from misuse, neglect, or acts of nature  
- Products that have been modified or incorporated  
into other products  
- Products purchased more than 12 months ago  
- Units purchased from unauthorized dealers or  
companies  
Instead of pressing all of those buttons one at a time, the  
RF30 enables you to setup one button that does all those  
steps automatically with one press. For more information  
on how and why you should setup macro buttons, watch  
the Quick Setup DVD Program Guide or refer to pages  
26-29 in this Manual.  
If the batteries run out, will I lose my settings?  
No. The RF30 stores all of your settings in non-volatile  
FLASH memory. You could remove the batteries for  
months, replace them at your convenience, and the RF30  
would still remember your settings.
