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 eand the Mute Button 43 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
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
1.Press any of the Input Selector Buttons eand the “O” Button rat the same time until the Program/SPL Indicator cbegins to flash amber.
2.Press the “3” Button rthree times.
3.The red LED under the Input Selector ewill go out and the Program/SPL Indicator cwill stop flashing and turn green.
4.The Program/SPL Indicator cwill 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 Program/SPL Indicator cgoes 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 eto change the remote from controlling the AVR 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.
To 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 efor 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.
