Chapter 12:

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 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.

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.

3Use the number buttons to enter the 3 digit preset code (see below).

The indicator blinks for half a second after you input each digit and shows a long, two second blink once you have entered a valid code. If the LED blinks three times, it means an invalid code has been input or an error has occurred.

4Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other components you want to control.

5When you’re done, press RECEIVER.

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).

Preset code list

You should have no problem controlling a component if you find the manufacturer in this list, but please note that there are cases where codes for the manufacturer in the list will not work for the model that you are using. There are also cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code.
