DIRECT COMMAND FUNCTIONS LISTING

Within the RC-18SR LCD window, each of the 8 Direct Function buttons has 4 character labels attached for pre-programmed remote commands. These commands can be used with various Marantz A/V components, or other components using the Philips RC-5 remote control language.

You can easily replace the factory-supplied remote command codes with different codes from other brands of equipment. Most functions that are supplied apply to a wide variety of equipment from many companies. The following list shows the remote code assignments for the direct function buttons, for each of the 11 main function selector buttons, as supplied from the factory. You can add or replace function commands, including re-naming them if you wish, in order to customize the RC-18SR for your own particular selection of A/V components.
