Basic remote control operations for other components The remote control supplied with this receiver is also capable of controlling components from a variety of manufacturers once you register the appropriate setup codes into the remote control unit. Low battery warning Replace all two batteries with new ones when you notice a shortening of the distance from which the remote control will operate. The remote control is designed to retain setup codes in memory while you change batteries. Registering setup codes for other components When the setup code defined for remote control of every system component is registered in one of the input selector keys of the remote control unit, you can control that component simply after selecting it using the corresponding input selector key of the remote control unit. ÷ When recording audio on a VCR or MD recorder, for example, you can also control the system component by switching only the remote control unit, without switching the input source of the receiver. Input selector keys SRC Power LED Numeric keys TV Remote Setup 1 Find the setup code of the component to be registered. Refer to the setup code lists to find the setup code for the component to be registered. uQ Example: To register a DVD made by KENWOOD, you would enter "0490" or "0534". 2 Press the input selector key (DVD, VID1, VID2, AUX, F.AUX or Game) you want to register a system component. The following table shows the type of components that can be registered in each input selector key. Input selector key DVD Registerable component DVD player Input jacks where the component is connected DVD VID1 VID2 AUX VCR Cable Converters Satellite Receivers CD player, MD recorder (KENWOOD) VIDEO1 VIDEO2 AUX F. AUX DVD player FRONT AUX Game DVD player GAME TV TV (including TVs - incorporating VCR) ÷ Make sure that a source belonging to the registerable componentc is connected to the corresponding input jacks on the receiver. ÷ A second DVD recorder, CD player or VCR can also be connected by changing the assignment of the registerable component devices. See "Re-assigning device keys" on page 46. 3 Press and hold the Remote Setup key until the LED blinks twice, then release the Remote Setup key. ÷ Proceed to the next steps in less than 10 seconds after the LED blinks twice. 4 Press the numeric key to enter the four-digit code for the component to be registered. ÷ The LED blinks twice when registration is completed successfully. 5 Ensure that the registered component functions properly. To ensure the proper function, perform the following operation and check if the component functions as intended. Point the remote control unit to the component and press the SRC Power key (or the TV Power key if the component is a TV) once. If the setup code is registered properly, the component should be turned ON or OFF. If the component is a VCR, turn the VCR ON and load a video tape and perform an operation such as playback. The VCR should function as controlled if its setup code is registered properly. If the component does not function properly: If more than one setup code is listed for the component, try registering another setup code by performing steps 3 to 5. ÷ Repeat steps 1 to5 above to register the setup code of another component. ÷ To change the registered setup code, register a new setup code again by performing steps 1 to 5 above. Note Although each setup code is designed to work with a number of different models, certain codes may not work with some models. (Also, certain codes may only operate some of the functions available on a given model.) Searching for your code If your component does not respond after trying all the codes listed for your component, or if your component is not listed at all, try searching for your code. For example, to search for a code for your TV. 1 Press the TV key once. When searching for the setup code of a component other than TV: Press the desired input selector key instead of the TV key. 2 Press and hold the Remote Setup key until the LED blinks twice, then release the Remote Setup key. ÷ Proceed to the next steps in less than 10 seconds after the LED blinks twice. 3 Press the numeric key to enter "9 9 1". ÷ The LED will blink twice. 4 Point the remote control at the TV and slowly alternate between pressing the TV Power and TV keys. Stop when the TV turns on or off. ÷ In the search mode, the remote control will send IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first. When searching for the setup code of a component other than TV: To search for the setup code of a DVD, CD, MD or VCR, press the input selector key pressed in 1 and the SRC Power key alternately and check if the component to be registered is turned ON and OFF. To search for the setup code of a VCR, turn the VCR ON, load a tape and press the input selector key pressed in step 1 (i.e. VID1) and an operation key such as the play key alternately and check if the VCR is controlled as intended. 5 Press the Remote Setup key once to lock in the code. 45 EN
