This article was previously published under Q217370 SYMPTOMS
When you configure the Take Control System Controller (TC1000) to learn
infrared (IR) codes from a Mark Levinson product remote control, you may experience any of the following symptoms:
- The buttons for the learned IR codes may not work properly.

- Remove the cover on the bottom of the TC1000 to expose the
IR port used for learning.

remote control.

Devices.

to add.

from the buttons on your device's remote control.
