WHAT ARE RC-5 AND RC-6 CODES? Philips and Marantz devices are designed to understand certain kinds of infrared signals sent by remote controls-specifically, signals belonging to the RC-5 and RC-6 code sets. Although Philips developed the RC-5 and RC-6 standards for infrared remote controls, several other manufacturers have adopted them, and they are becoming a standard. When the remote control is brand-new, many of the devices in the Device menu are preprogrammed with RC-5 and RC-6 codes. This means that the remote control automatically works with most Philips and Marantz devices- and with devices of other brands that use RC-5/6 codes. If you have a device that recognizes RC-5/6 codes, the remote control might operate the device without special customization. Try using the remote control with your components to determine whether they'll recognize the built-in codes. IF YOUR COMPONENTS ARE CONNECTED TO A PREAMPLIFIER, RECEIVER, OR SIMILAR DEVICE Are your components connected to a preamp or receiver? Do you use the preamp/receiver's remote control to change the video or audio input source for your monitor or speakers? If so, you can program the Device menu so that choosing a device automatically switches the input source; for instructions, see "To program an item on the Device menu" on page 34. When you assign source-switching commands to the items in the Device menu, those commands also get assigned to the device buttons on the Home panels. The remote control lets you switch to a device's control panels without switching the input source; for instructions, see "To switch devices without affecting the source" on page 23. 27
