Controlling the rest of your system

Setting the remote to control other components

Most components can be assigned to one of the input source buttons (such as DVD/LD or CD) using the component’s manufacturer preset code stored in the remote.

However, there are cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code, or the codes for the manufacturer in the remote control will not work for the model that you are using.

To try out the remote control, switch the component on or off (into standby) by pressing SOURCE . If it doesn’t seem to work, select the next code from the list (if there is one).

7If your component is controlled successfully, press ENTER to confirm.

The remote LCD display shows OK.

Resetting the remote control presets

This will erase all preset remote control preset codes and programmed buttons.

Note

•You can cancel or exit any of the steps by pressing RECEIVER. To go back a step, press RETURN.

•After one minute of inactivity, the remote automatically exits the operation.
