Because this took me quite some time understanding the RM-816 remote control (it&#8217;s harder than programming Java or even assembler!), I will give some pointers.</p> <p>The RC actually has two sides, one simple side that has the day-to-day buttons, and one side for when you want to do more than switching channels or turning up the volume (or, for what I read, to impress your guests). To change from one to the other, press the buttons at the top left and right of the RC and pull the RC out of it&#8217;s casing. Note that the programming buttons are at the bottom of the &#8216;advanced&#8217; side, but they are hidden if the RC is all the way in it&#8217;s casing!</p> <p><img alt="RM-816 buttons" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_louoha47F41qlpvno.png" align="middle"/></p> <p>For every channel you want to program, do the following:</p> <ol><li>press the diamond with the arrow going in,</li> <li>select the channel number with the plus and minus at the top right of the RC, or with the numbers,</li> <li>select the correct frequency using either the plus and minus, or the C and the numbers,</li> <li>change the channel title or description using the rectangle with dots inside, and the plus and minus just above the RM-816 logo (why so many plus/minus buttons??!),</li> <li>save everything with the single diamond.</li> </ol><p>You can cancel your actions if you haven&#8217;t saved it yet, using the diamond with arrow button.</p> <p>If you want to move a channel, select it and do steps 1, 2, 5.</p> <p>If you want to delete or remove a channel, so that it will not be shown when you browse through all your channels, press the diamond with arrow, press the C00 button, and press the diamond to save.</p>http://blog.oliver3.nl/post/8008424356http://blog.oliver3.nl/post/8008424356Sun, 24 Jul 2011 20:26:00 +0200sony tvrm-816programming<p>It has been decided.
