RC-18SR

BASIC

OPERATION

USE

Mode:

As

supplied

from

the

factory,

the

RC-18SR

is

already

permanently

programmed

with

many

pre-set

commands

common

to

Marantz

and

Philips

equipment,

as

well

as

other

brands

of

components

that

utilize

the

Philips

RC

-5

remote

control

language.

1.

If

the

RC-18SR

is

in

another

mode

(LEARN,

etc.),

press

the

operation

mode

button

0

with

the

tip

of

a

paper

clip,

until

the

USE

indication

appears.

2.

Press

one

of

the

furiction

buttons

0,

to

change

to

another

component's

commands

such

as

LD

(refer

to

Figure

will

be

indicated

within

the

LCD

window,

and

the

will

be

set

to

operate

the

laser

disc

player.

Press

the

function

button again

within

2

seconds

and

the

amplifier

or

receiver's

input

changes

to

laser

disc.

4.

Now

you

can

operate

the

laser

disc

player.

When

a

button

is

pressed,

the

^

symbol

indicates

that

a

remote

code

is

being

transmitted.

Note

that

for

a

particular

source

component,

not

every

button

may

have

a

command

programmed

for

it.

In

that

case,

nothing

would

be

indicated.

5.

Using

the

DIRECT

buttons

D-1

through

D-8

and

PAGEs

1

through

4,

up

to

32

different

specialized

commands

are

available

for

each

FUNCTION,

up

to

a

total

of

352

specialized

commands

(32

direct

commands

times

11

functions).

Note

that

for

any

particular

function

selector,

not

all

32

direct

commands

may

be

provided

and/or

named

as

supplied

from

the

factory.

6.

For

example,

the

RC-18SR

is

supplied

from

the

factory

with

3

pages

of

DIRECT

commands

for

the

LD

(laser

function.

At

this

point,

you

may

wish

to

put

this

guide

aside

temporarily,

and

begin

using

the

RC-18SR

with

your

NV

system.

If

you

already

have

any

Marantz

components,

or

Philips

and/or

other

brands

of

components

that

use

the

RC

-5

remote

control

language,

you

can

begin

controlling

those

components

with

the

RC-18SR

right

away.

Take

some

time

to

become

comfortable

with

the

operation

of

the

RC-18SR.

We

think

that

its

intuitive

key

pad

layout

and

easy

to

read

LCD

window

will

permit

you

to

quickly

become

familiar

with

its

operation.

If

you

do

not

have

any

Marantz

or

other

brands

of

components

that

use

the

Philips

RC

-5

remote

control

language,

then

you

may

wish

to

proceed

to

the

next

section,

which

will

describe

the

steps

necessary

to

"teach"

your

RC-18SR

remote

codes

from

other

components

you

may

have

in

your

system.

LEARN

mode:

The

RC-18SR

has

the

ability

to

learn

remote

codes

for

just

about

any

component

in

your

A/V

system.

If

the

original

component

was

supplied

with

an

infrared

remote

control,

its

commands

can

be

learned

by

the

RC-18SR.

If

you

have

another

brand

of

laser

disc

player,

for

example,

you

can

program

the

RC-18SR

with

its

codes.

For

example,

we'll

show

you

how

to

"teach"

the

RC-18SR

commands

from

another

brand

of

laser

disc

player.

1.

Using

a

sharp

point

(such

as

the

tip

of

a

paper

clip),

press

the

operation

MODE

button

0.

Each

time

you

press

the

button,

the

mode

within

the

LCD

display,

the

LEARN

indicator

will

begin

blinking.

2.

Place

the

laser

disc

player's

supplied

infrared

remote

controller

so

that

its

transmitter

window

(usually

at

the

top)

is

facing

the

receiving

infrared

sensor

window

DI

of

the

RC-18SR

(at

the

bottom),.

about

5

cm

(2

inches)

apart.

3.

Press

the

LD

function

button

on

the

RC-18SR.

4.

Press

the

play

button

CI

on

the

RC-18SR.

5.

Press

and

hold

the

corresponding

PLAY

button

on

the

laser

disc

player's

remote

transmitter

until

the

"OK"

indicator

appears

in

the

RC-18SR

LCD

window

(see

Figure

2)

or

the

sounds

emit

(if

the

function

is

set

).

If

the

"AGAIN"

indicator

appears

in

the

RC-18SR

LCD

window,

it

means

that

for

some

reason

the

command

was

not

properly

learned.

Repeat

steps

3,

4

and

5

above.

In

the

unlikely

event

that

an

infrared

command

cannot

be

learned

by

the

RC-18SR,

"NG"

(no

good)

will

appear

in

the

LCD

window,

meaning

that

the

command

is

not

"learnable".

The

RC-18SR

has

been

tested

for

compatibility

with

a

very

wide

range

of

infrared

remote

control

frequencies

and

data

word

lengths,

but

in

some

very

rare

instances,

it

may

not

be

possible

to

learn

a

particular

remote

control

command.

Continue

to

"teach"

the

RC-18SR

the

rest

of

the

source

transmitter's

transport

function

commands,

such

as

STOP,

PAUSE,

NEXT,

PREVIOUS,

FAST

FORWARD

and

REWIND,

by

repeating

steps

3,

4

and

5

above.

6.

Proceed

to

learn

the

numeric

"10

keys"

from

the

source

transmitter

to

the

RC-18SR's

10

key

numeric

pad

O

by

repeating

steps

3,

4

and

5

above.

7.

For

each

additional

function,

such

as

TV,

VCR,

etc.,

repeat

steps

3,

4

and

5

above.

During

the

LEARN

operation,

if

any

button

is

not

pressed

within

1

minute,

the

RC-18SR

will

revert

back

to

the

previous

operating

mode.

To

make

After

memorizing

all

desired

remote

codes,

press

and

select
