PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

LED under the reassigned Input Selector will flash

three times and then go out.

Example:

To use the CBL/SAT button to operate

a second VCR, first press the

VID 2/CBL/SAT

Input Selector

e

and the

Mute Button

at the same time until the red light glows under

the

VID 2/CBL/SAT Button

e

. Press the

VCR

Button

e

, followed by the three-digit code for the

specific model you wish to control. Finally, press the

VID 2/CBL/SAT Button

e

again.

Resetting the RCP 2’s Memory

As you add components to your home theater system,

occasionally you may wish to totally reprogram the

remote control without the confusion of any commands,

macros or “Punch-Through” programming that you may

have done.To do this, it is possible to reset the RCP 2

to the original factory defaults and command codes by

following these steps. However, once the remote is

reset, all commands or codes that you have entered

will be erased and will need to be reentered:

1. Press any of the

Input Selector Buttons

e

and

the

“O” Button

r

at the same time until the

Program/SPL Indicator

c

begins to flash amber.

2. Press the

“3” Button

r

three times.

3. The red LED under the

Input Selector

e

will go

out and the


c

will stop

flashing and turn green.

4. The


c

will remain green

until the RCP 2 is reset. Note that this may take a

while, depending on how many commands are in the

memory and need to be erased.

5. When the


c

goes out,

the RCP 2 has been reset to the factory settings.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the RCP 2 has been programmed for the codes

of other devices, press the appropriate

Input Selector

e

to change the remote from controlling the AV R

to

controlling the additional product. When you press any

one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red to indicate

that you have changed the device being controlled.

When operating a device other than the AVR, the con-

trols may not correspond exactly to the function printed

on the remote or button. Some commands, such as

the volume control, are the same as they are with the

AVR. Other buttons will change their function so that

they correspond to a secondary label on the remote.

For example, the Sleep and Surround mode selector

buttons also function as the Channel Up and Channel

Down buttons when operating most TV sets, VCRs or

cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down indication is printed

directly on the remote. For many standard CD players,

cassette decks, VCRs and DVD functions, the standard

function icons are printed on top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a particu-

lar button does not follow the command printed on

the remote. In order to see which function a button

controls, consult the Function List tables on pages 11

and 12. To use those tables, first check the type of

device being controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at

the remote control diagram in the figure at right. Note

that each button has a number on it.

T

o find out what function a particular button has for

a specific device, find the button number on the

Function List and then look in the column for the device

you are controlling. For example, button number 46

is the Direct button for the AVR, but it is the “Favorite”

button for many cable television boxes and satellite

receivers. Button number 30 is the Digital Selection

button for the AVR, but the Open/Close button for CD

players.

NOTE:

The numbers used to describe the button

functions in the diagram on this page for the purposes

of describing how a button operates are a different set

of numbers than those used in the rest of this manual

to describe the button functions for the AVR.

Notes on Using the RCP 2 With Other Devices

•

Manufacturers may use different code sets for the

same product category. For that reason, it is impor-

tant that you check to see whether the code set you

have entered operates as many controls as possible.

If it appears that only a few functions operate, check

to see whether another code set will work with more

buttons.

•

When a button is pressed on the RCP 2, the red

light under the

Input Selector

e

for the product

being operated should flash briefly. If the Device

Control Selector flashes for some but not all but-

tons for a particular product, it does NOT indicate a

problem with the remote but rather that no function

is programmed for the button being pushed.
