Onkyo HT-R420 appendix Entering the manufacturer’s code RC-518Monly

Using the remote controller with your other AV components

Connecting your Onkyo CD player, Onkyo DVD player, or Onkyo cassette recorder to the HT-R420Õs z connector allows you to control it with the HT-R420Õs remote controller. Since you only need to point the remote controller at the HT-R420, you can control components that are out of sight, for example, in a cabinet. Since you donÕt have to enter any special codes, or do any programming, z allows you to control your Onkyo AV components quickly and easily. See page 16 for connection information.

Entering the manufacturer’s code (RC-518M only)

If youÕre using an Onkyo CD player connected to the HT-R420Õs z connector, an Onkyo AV component without an z connection, or an AV component made by another manufacturer, do the following.

When you operate an AV component, you point the remote controller at the AV component, not the HT-R420.

1.Determine the appropriate manufacturer’s code from the list on the next page.

Where several codes are listed, try the first one, and if that doesnÕt work, try the others until you find one that does.

2.Turn on the AV component that you want to be able to control (e.g., CD, DVD, or TV).

Next you must assign the AV component to one of the remote controllerÕs mode buttons. Note that you must do step 4 within

10seconds of step 3.

3.While holding down the remote controller’s VCR, TV, CABLE/SAT, or CD/DVD button, press the ENT button.

For the CD/DVD button, you can enter a CD code or DVD code, not both. And for the CABLE/SAT button, a Cable code or Satellite code, not both.

4.Within 10 seconds, use the remote controller’s number buttons to enter the manufacturer’s code.

5.Check to see if you can control the AV component from the remote controller.

If it works as expected, the code has been entered correctly. If not, go back to step 3 and try again.

Note that with some manufacturerÕs AV components, some of the remote controllerÕs buttons may not work as expected.

By default, the CD/DVD button is set to code 316, which is for use with an z-compatible Onkyo DVD player connected to the HT-R420Õs z connector. To control an z-compatible Onkyo CD player connected to the HT-R420Õs z connector, you must enter code 300. To control an Onkyo DVD player without an z connection, you must enter either code 301 or

313.The CD/DVD button can be used with only one AV component.
