Remote Control of Other components

Setting Up the Remote Control to Control Other Components

In addition to controlling the receiver, the supplied remote control can operate your other components (VCR, TV, LD, CD, etc.) after you program it to do so. In this way, instead of fumbling with many different controls and buttons, you only need to use one remote control. If your component(s) are listed in the remote control's memory, simply follow the steps below. If your component(s) are not listed, or if you want the remote to learn additional operations, you can use the learning mode to input the information from the remote controls supplied with your other components.

Recalling settings stored in the remote control

The following steps show you how to recall the setting stored in the remote control. Once a setting is recalled and the component assigned, you can use this remote to easily operate the component.

memo • You can press the EXIT button at any time to go back a screen.

• See "Using Remote Control with Other Components" on pages 51 through 58 to operate your other components.

Naturally it's easiest and most logical to assign the button that has the same name as the component you are setting up (for example, choose the CD button for your CD player).

In some cases, however, you may need to assign a button to a component with a different name.
