Notes

•

If you have already programmed any signal

for the VOLUME or MUTING button of each

component by

“

learning

”

, the procedure

above will not change the function of the

VOLUME and MUTING buttons.

•

If you have programmed volume control

signals on VOLUME or MUTING buttons of

TV or AMP, you can only use that signal

when you select TV or AMP. For other

component, the preset volume control signals

for TV or AMP (depending on the above

setting procedure) will be transmitted. To use

the new signals, you need to program each

button for each component by the learning

procedure (page 20).

Executing a Series of

Commands

—

System Control Functions

With the System Control function, you

can program a series of operating

commands, and execute them by

pressing just one button.

For example, when you watch a video, a

series of operations like the ones below

are necessary.

6

You can program up to 32 consecutive

operation steps to each of the SYSTEM

CONTROL buttons (1-3) or the Label

keys (SYSTEM 4-15).

If you have set the System Control

function for a Component Select button

or a Label key (page 38), the execution of

the programmed commands begins

when you press the Component Select

button for more than 2 seconds.

The component macro executing time is

variable by changing the setting (page 42).

While executing the programmed

commands, at the same time that each

remote control signal is transmitted, the

corresponding key is displayed.

CONTROL 1 and 3 buttons

The SYSTEM CONTROL 1 and 3 buttons
