Marantz SR-18EX manual Liquid Crystal Display LCD Window, ⁄7MUTE, ⁄8GUIDE, ⁄9LIGHTING

ENGLISH	⁄6CURSOR buttons
	Some components feature menus that are navigated with up, down,
	left and right direction commands. The cursor buttons can be used to
	navigate within on-screen menus, for components such as amplifier
	or receiver, TV set, DSS/satellite tuner, etc. These buttons are also
	used for certain RC-18SR programming functions.
	⁄7MUTE
	For those components (such as amplifier or receiver, TV, etc.) with a
	mute function, this button can be used to mute the sound temporarily.
	⁄8GUIDE
	This button is intended for owners of DSS (digital satellite system) or
	similar equipment, to activate the on-screen programming guide,
	used when changing channels, etc.
	⁄9LIGHTING
	Press this button to activate the back-lit LCD screen and back-lit keys
	independently SETUP mode. A quick touch is all that is necessary.
	The back-lighting will remain on for 3 seconds. If you wish, you can
	even re-program the RC-18SR to shorten or lengthen the amount of
	time the back-lighting is activated when this button is pressed.
	¤0Channel up( ), down( )
	Press this button to change the tuner, TV, DSS or VCR preset
	channels to upward or downward.
	¤1Transmitter window
	Infrared signals will eminate from behind this window. Simply aim the
	RC-18SR towards the component(s) you wish to control. You may
	find that the RC-18SR works fine when placed on a coffee table
	pointing towards your A/V system components.
	¤2Receiving window
	Used when learning commands from other remotes, this window is
	placed at the bottom of the RC-18SR, so that the two remotes are
	vertically oriented for easy transfer of remote control information.
	Later in this guide we will show you which of the RC-18SR buttons can
	be “taught” new commands from other components.
	LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) WINDOW
	Within this display, all operating messages (function name, mode
	names, etc.) are shown. When a particular button is pressed (such
	as a transport command, like PLAY), its status will be shown in the
	display for 1 minute. The display will continue to show the source
	function selected continuously, however.
	a Function indication:
	The selected source function is displayed, such as LD, TV, etc., up to
	6 characters maximum.
	b Status indication:
	The selected status of the present page, or other items, is displayed,
	up to 9 characters maximum.
	c Direct commands:
	8 DIRECT commands are available in 1 page, up to 4 characters
	maximum.

dBattery indicator:

When the batteries are running low, this indicator will become visible. At this point, it will not be possible to learn any new remote codes, but normal remote control operation is still provided (including the use of any previously learned codes). At this point, you should consider changing the batteries soon. As time goes on, and the battery power diminishes further, this indicator will begin blinking. At this point, no remote commands will be transmitted. This is your signal to replace the batteries with fresh ones as soon as possible. Eventually, if you ignore the blinking battery indicator and do not install fresh batteries, then the batteries may eventually be totally exhausted, and the LCD display window will be completely blank. However, any previously learned commands and macros will not be erased from the microprocessor’s memory.

The RC-18SR is supplied with a full set of RC-5 remote control codes in permanent (non-volatile) memory. Even if the batteries are fully exhausted, the RC-5 codes (used for Marantz A/V components) and learned codes will never disappear.

We recommend that you use a quality brand of alkaline batteries, for best results and longest life. Newly available lithium “AA” batteries can even provide longer life than alkaline batteries, and are also recommended.

eTransmit indicator:

When a button is pressed, this indicator shows that an infrared code is being transmitted.

fUSE indicator:

For normal operation, the USE indicator should be visible.

gLEARN indicator:

Visible when the RC-18SR is set to LEARN mode.

hNAME indicator:

Visible when the RC-18SR is in the learning mode, and function naming is being changed.

iPAGE or MACRO indicator:

This indicator usually functions in association with a PAGE button ,, but also functions as the MACRO indicator when a MACRO button n is pressed.

j indicator:

Visible when the RC-18SR is set to the beep function.

Installing the batteries:

The battery compartment is located on the rear panel. Please use only alkaline or lithium batteries, “AA” size. The RC-18SR requires four AA batteries. There are markings in the battery compartment to show you the proper battery orientation. If after installing the batteries, you cannot see any indication in the LCD window when a button is pressed, re-check to ensure that the batteries are properly positioned in the compartment.
