Using the remote control to control your equipment

NOTE The remote control is preprogrammed to work with popular components made by Philips, Marantz, and certain other companies. If the remote control doesn’t operate your components, you will need to teach it; for instructions, see “Learning commands from other remote controls (Learn mode)” on page 30. However, if a dealer or installer has programmed the remote control for you, it should operate all your components.

When you ﬁrst tap the touchscreen, Home is diplayed. Here you’ll ﬁnd a button for each of the devices that the remote control is set up to operate.

NOTE If your components are connected to a preampliﬁer, receiver, or similar device, choosing a device from Home may automatically switch the input source to the chosen device. You can control this behavior; for more information, see “To program an item on the Device menu” on page 34.

GOING BACK HOME

The purpose of Home is to make navigating easy. The device buttons in Home are set up for you automatically when you add devices to your system or remove

them. You can go back home at any time by pressing the Home button .
