Before You Use the
Commander
Understanding the 2 way remote system
This commander operates under a 2 way remote system. With the 2 way remote system, the component responds to signals sent from the commander by sending additional signals (information about the status of the component, text data, etc.) back to the commander. Thus, operations are performed as a result of communication between the commander and the component.
CommanderComponent
When using a home entertainment system comprised of several components compatible with the 2 way remote system, please restrict 2 way remote system operation to a single component. Generally, the 2 way remote system is turned off on all components except for the receiver.
If you would like to turn off the receiver’s 2 way remote system, refer to “Setting up the 2 way remote” in the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
The COMMAND MODE
If the receiver’s COMMAND MODE and the remote’s COMMAND MODE do not match, transmission is not possible between the remote and the receiver. If you have not changed the COMMAND MODE of the remote and the receiver after purchase, it is not necessary to set the COMMAND MODE. For details, see page 30.
Special Remarks
pAbout the LCD
Depending on the brightness of the room and the angle at which the commander is viewed, the LCD may be difficult to see. When this occurs, changing the angle of the commander or adjusting the CONTRAST of the LCD may make the LCD easier to see. When fingerprints (etc.) get on the LCD, wipe the LCD with a soft, dry cloth. It is recommended to use the touch pen supplied with the commander.
pAbout batteries
Life span of the batteries
This commander is different from conventional remotes in that it makes use of a large LCD and is capable of 2 way communication. Because of this, the batteries become exhausted more quickly than with conventional remotes.
Under normal conditions, the batteries should last approximately 2.5 months*. However, depending on how the remote is used and the initial voltage of the batteries, the actual period of use may be shorter or longer than that mentioned above.
*This value is based on 60 key operations a day with the backlight on. If the backlight is turned off, the batteries should last much longer. In order to extend the life of the batteries, it is recommended to keep the backlight off when operating the commander in a well lit area.
