Controlling the rest of your system

Operating multiple receivers

Up to four receivers can be operated discretely using this receiver's remote control when using multiple receivers, provided they are this receiver models. The receiver to be operated is switched by inputting the preset code to set the remote control setting.

Set the remote modes on the receivers before using this function (see Remote Control Mode Setup on page 106).

1Press and hold the R.SETUP, press “4” for three seconds.

The LED flashes continuously.

To cancel the preset setup mode press R.SETUP.

2Press the number button for the receiver (“Receiver 1” to “Receiver 4”) you wish to operate.

For example, to operate “Receiver 2”, press “2”.

If the LED lights for one second, the setting has been successfully completed.

When the preset code is input, the LED flashes three times to indicate that the setting has failed.

However, there are cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code, or the codes for the manufacturer in the remote control will not work for the model that you are using.

If you can’t find a preset code that matches the component you want to control, you can still teach the remote individual commands from another remote control (see Programming signals from other remote controls on page 77).

Note

You can cancel or exit any of the steps by pressing R.SETUP.

After one minute of inactivity, the remote automatically exits the operation.

For greater convenience, assign the TV connected to the MONITOR OUT terminal to the TV CTRL button, and assign your satellite/cable receiver or set-top box connected to the TV input terminal to the TV input button. If a single device is connected to both terminals, that device should be assigned to both the TV CTRL and TV input buttons.

Devices may be assigned to the following input function buttons.

Setting the remote to control other components

Most components can be assigned to one of the input function buttons (such as DVD or CD) using the component’s manufacturer preset code stored in the remote.
