Using the Remote Controller RC-518M with Your Other AV Components

RC-518M (North America only)

Connecting your -compatible Onkyo CD player, DVD

player, or cassette recorder to the TX-SR501 via allows you to control your system with the TX-SR501’s remote con- troller by pointing it at the TX-SR501. This allows you to control components that are out of sight, for example, in a cabinet. Since you don’t have to enter any special codes, or

do any programming, allows you to control these compo- nents quickly and easily. See page 19 for connection infor- mation. See page 42 for operating information.

In addition, you can control an AV component made by another manufacturer by entering the appropriate manufac- turer’s code into the remote controller.

Note:

To use the function, you must make an connection and an analog RCA/phono connection between the AV component and your TX-SR501, even if they are con- nected digitally.

Entering the Manufacturer’s Code

If you’re using an Onkyo CD player connected to the

TX-SR501’s connector, an Onkyo AV component with-

out an connection, or an AV component made by another manufacturer, do the following.

1

Determine the appropriate manufacturer’s

 

code from the following list.

 

Where several codes are listed, try the first one, and

 

if that doesn’t work, try the others until you find one

 

that does.

2

While holding down the remote controller’s

 

[VCR], [TV], [CABLE/SAT], or [CD/DVD] but-

 

ton, 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.

 

 

3

Within 10 seconds, use the remote control-

 

ler’s number buttons to enter the manufac-

 

turer’s code.

 

 

4

Check to see if you can control the AV com-

 

ponent 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 manufacturer’s AV components, some of the remote controller’s buttons may not work as expected.

By default, the [CD/DVD] button is set to code 316, which is for use with an -compatible Onkyo DVD player connected to the TX-SR501’s connector. To control an -compatible Onkyo CD player connected to the TX-SR501’s connector, you must enter code

300.To control an Onkyo DVD player without an connection, you must enter either code 301 or 313. The [CD/DVD] button can be used with only one AV compo- nent.
