Abstract (en)

A learning remote control device for learning IR codes of remote units comprises a controlling means, a memory means connected to the controlling means, an IR transmission means, and a first IR receiving means connected to the controlling means, wherein the learning remote control device further comprises a second IR receiving means. A method for learning an IR codes of e.g. satellite boxes comprises the following steps: a) determining whether the incoming signal is of a pulse type or a modulated type; b) determining whether the incoming signal comprises toggle bits; c) determining the data codes; d) determining the transmission format; e) testing the learned codes and formats. <IMAGE>
