We developed this remarkable component so that you can easily control an entire A/V system, with many more features than are typically offered with other learning remote controls. Conventional remote controls that are usually supplied with audio and video components are often difficult to use, and may be designed with many small buttons identically sized and positioned too close together. Button labels are often not very legible, especially in low light (home theater) settings. Today, a typical home theater system might include a number of components, such as audio amplifier, CD player, tape deck, TV, VCR, a laser disc player, AM/FM radio tuner, satellite receiver, and others. Usually, the remote that is supplied with a central component, such as the amplifier or the TV set, has sufficient capacity to operate its own unit, but may be difficult and/or cumbersome to use for controlling the entire A/V system. The Marantz RC2000 Mk w is designed to take the place of all of your existing remotes. Now you have one easy to use remote to control your entire A/V system, and you can customize the RC2000 Mk w with your favorite command functions, regardless of the brands and models of the various components in your system. For ease of use, the RC2000 Mk w features button "groups", logically placed to eliminate "hunting" around the keypad to find a particular button. With only 58 buttons, the RC2000 Mk w can actually provide over 400 different infrared commands, enough to control virtually any fully equipped home theater system. For home theater viewing in darkened rooms, the RC2000 Mk w features a backlit keypad and backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) window, with automatic features to prevent battery exhaustion and to preserve the memory contents. At the heart of the RC2000 Mk w is a sophisticated microprocessor which has the ability to "learn" remote codes from a variety of A/V components, and can even be "taught" to send a "string" of remote codes in a specific sequence at the touch of a button. The ergonomically designed RC2000 Mk w provides buttons of different size and shape, with many buttons able to output different commands, depending on the source selected. The large, clear LCD window features alphanumeric display of functions in easy to read text, and the backlighting feature means that you'll easily and quickly find the right button even when the room is dark. 2
