Remote Setup

Chapter Two: Setting Up Remote Control Unit

This Remote Control unit can be set up to remote control

the receiver as well as most of the devices connected to it.

The appearance and functions of the Remote Control unit

are slightly different from other Remote Control units. Since

it is used to remote control a large number of devices, its

screen shows the information of each device in separate

menus.

This Remote Control unit can remote control the devices

which are connected to the receiver and identified by the

Remote Control unit.

In case the Remote Control unit cannot remote control a

device you want to use, check if the device has been regis-

tered for identification by the Remote Control unit. The

method of registering devices in Remote Control unit will

be described later in this chapter.

Before you can set up any Remote Control unit item, you

need to install batteries.

•

The batteries that came with your new Remote Control

unit are intended for you to use for an operation check

—

they may not last as long as ordinary batteries. We rec-

ommend replacing them with batteries for normal use.

To install the batteries:

1.

Slide down the battery cover as shown by the figure to

remove it.

2.

Insert four AA(R6) batteries with the correct polarity.

Then close the battery cover.

Installing the Batteries

If Remote Control unit is used outside the remote control

range, the screen may show erroneous information. For the

remote control range, refer to page 7 (

“

Remote controllable

range

”

) in the

Users’ Guide

.

When the remote control range reduces or the Low Battery

indicator (

) will flash in the LCD screen, replace all of

the four batteries together.

To extend the battery life, we suggest that you keep the back-

light off except when necessary. For the backlight, refer to

the

Users’ Guide

.

Resetting the Remote Control Unit

The Remote Control unit can be reset in two ways

To reset the remote without clearing the setups:

•

Remove the batteries then reload them again.

This resets the Remote Control unit but the speaker

setup and device setup remain unchanged.

To reset everything and initialize the remote to the

factory condition:

1.

Remove the batteries.

2.

While holding the

(function up) button and

button simultaneously, load the batteries.

This operation resets all of the setups made by the user.
