Remote Control Setup and Operation
The PT-7000 remote control is preprogrammed to operate over 1,000 audio
and video components. Programming is accomplished by simply punching
in a three digit code number that matches your equipment.
In addition to the PT-7000 itself, the remote control can operate up to seven
other audio and video devices in your home entertainment system. They are
listed below:
TVs, Monitors, Video/LCD Projectors
VCRs, TV/VCR combination units
Cable boxes, Internet set-top boxes
Satellite receivers–DSS, Primestar, Dish, DBS, C-Band
Audio receivers, Preampliers, Surround processors
Compact disc players, Multi-Disc changers
DVD, Laser disc players
Cassette Tape Players, DAT, MiniDisc, Switchers, Lighting, Home Control
Devices, and Line Doublers
For the best performance when operating your remote control, please follow
the guidlines listed below.
Remember to point the remote control toward the remote control sensor
on the PT-7000, not the TV screen. Place the PT-7000 away from strong light
such as direct sunlight or uorescent light , which can prevent proper
operation of the remote control.
Using another remote control of a similar type or placing the PT-7000
near equipment which also uses infrared control may cause operational
interference.
Do not put objects on the remote control. The buttons of the remote control
may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.
Make sure any doors, which may cover the front panel of the PT-7000, do
not have colored glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent
proper remote control operation.
If there is any obstacle between the remote control and the remote control
sensor, the remote control will not operate.
The remote control also has many advanced features that can add ease and
enjoyment to the operation of your home entertainment system. After becoming
familiar with the layout of the buttons on the remote (see page 10), follow the
steps below to customize the remote for your particular setup.
Battery Installation
This remote control uses four AAA 1.5 V batteries (supplied). Please be sure to
match the batteries with the (+) and (–) markings inside the battery compart-
ment during installation.
To install batteries in the remote control:
1. Open the battery cover by pushing the latch toward the top of the
remote and lifting up
2. Insert four (4) AAA batteries into the compartment, being careful
to match the polarity shown on the diagram inside.
3. Slide the battery cover straight back in (toward the top of the remote)
and push down until it snaps into place.
Note: Do not mix new and old batteries or different kinds of batter-
ies. To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote control
will not be used for one month or more. Remove dead batteries
immediately to avoid damage from corrosion.
Under normal conditions the life of the batteries supplied is about six
months, but this may vary depending on usage.
The remote control will retain its programmed memory for up to one year after
the batteries are removed, and up to ten years after the batteries go “dead”.
Setup Using Preprogrammed Codes
Each of the Source Selection Buttons can be programmed to operate a par-
tucular audio or video component in your system. The AUD button is used
exclusively for control of the PT-7000. More detailed information can be
found in the section “Operation.”
More than one setup code number may work with your device. You should
test the functions for each of the code numbers that work with your device to
determine the best one for your particular unit.
Note: Some devices, such as CD players and DVD Decks that do not
have POWER buttons on their original remote controls, may not shut
off during programming. For these devices, it may be necessary to rst
store the setup code number and then test functions like PLAY, STOP,
etc., to determine if the correct number has been selected.
If your system has more than one VCR for example, any available Source button
can be used to select that device. Use the steps below to program the remaining
seven source buttons (TV, VCR, SAT, CBL, CD, DVD, and AUX) to program the
remote control for your devices.
To program using Three Digit Codes:
1. Turn on the device you would like the remote control to operate,
either manually or with its original remote control.
2. Find the three digit setup code number for your device from the
tables on pages 41-44.
3. Press the corresponding Source button and the MUTE button on
the remote control simultaneously.
The red LED and the selected Source button will illuminate.
Note: The selected button and LED will remain for approximately
10 seconds to indicate that the remote control is ready to be pro-
grammed. The following steps must be entered while they are lit. If
the lights go out, simply press the Source and MUT button again to
re-enter the setup code.
