the SET indicator and the

Programming remote

control signals to the

Component Select buttons

You can “teach” one operating

procedure to a Component Select

button, so that when you press the

Component Select button, the

operation is also automatically

done.

For example, if it is necessary to

switch the input selection of an

amplifier to DVD when you use a

DVD player, “teach” an input

select signal to the DVD button.

After “learning”, the input

selection of an amplifier is

automatically switched to DVD

just by pressing DVD.

(For this

operation, an amplifier should

first be turned on.)

Example: To “teach” the DVD

input remote control signal of

your amplifier to the DVD

Component Select button of the

Commander
