the remotes are pointed head to head!

correctly learn. Note that EVEN if the original remote still operates the component, the batteries can be

Appppeeaarr     The MX 700/800 (not the SideKick) must be connected to the PC. Once you

S

see the READY indicator, press and hold the corresponding button on the original remote control while

pointing it at the TOP of the MX 700/800. When the code is successfully learned, the window will say

GOOD, confirming that the code learned  correctly.   Actually, the GOOD means that the code might be

good.... Press the test icon 

and point the connected MX 700/800 at the component to test if it really is

good! Reteach as necessary.
