Setting Up Your LCD Remote Controller

Your new LCD Remote is a powerful controller that you can easily set up to remotely control a Kenwood receiver as well as all of the IR-controllable audio and video components in your entertainment system. The remote’s macro capabilities make it easy for you to perform com- plex operations by touching a single button.

Before you can use your remote to control any of your system’s components you first must program it. Programming the remote to control components will be described later in this chapter.

Installing the Batteries

Before you can set up any remote control unit item, you need to install batteries.

The batteries that came with your new remote control unit are intended for an operation check—they may not last as long as alkaline batteries. We recommend replacing them with batteries for normal use.

To install the batteries:

1. Slide down the battery cover as shown by the fig- ure to remove it.

2. Insert four AA(R6) batteries with the correct polarity.

Then close the battery cover.

When the remote control range reduces or the Low Battery indicator ( ) flashes on the LCD screen, replace all of the four batteries at the same time as described above.

Resetting the Remote

The Remote Control unit can be reset in two ways

To reset the remote without clearing the setups:

• Remove the batteries then reload them again.

This resets the Remote Control unit but the speaker setup and device setup remain unchanged.

To reset everything and initialize the remote to the factory condition:

1. Remove the batteries.

 

2. While holding the

(function up) button and

button

simultaneously, load the batteries.

 

This operation resets all of the setups made by you.
