To register special IR codes that do not appear as on- screen controls

See “Registering Desired Components (User IR setting)” on page 38.

Notes

If the IR codes do not operate as expected, perform the registration operation(s) again to make sure the IR codes are registered correctly. If the IR code still cannot be registered, see “Registering Desired Components (User IR setting)” on page 38.

If you experience difficulty operating the INPUT, number, or ENTER buttons of a VCR or LD player after automatic registration in step 5, register the IR codes for that component manually as shown in step 6.

When using components made by other manufacturers, certain operations may not be possible even after selecting manufacturer (in step 5). In this case, register the IR codes for those buttons manually as shown in step 6.

If you register a playback source as TOSHIBA 2 or RCA 2, you cannot turn the TV on or off using the receiver’s remote (the power will not go on when you click TEST).

Do not register the same type of component (e.g., an LD player) at several different functions.

You can register about 200 IR codes, including user IR codes (see page 38); however, depending on the type of codes recorded, the maximum limit may be less than 100. It may be difficult or impossible to register about 200 codes under the following conditions:

-When registering from remotes with weak batteries.

-When registering IR codes that have been registered to a programmable remote (e.g., any IR code not originally supplied in the respective remote).

Keep the LEARNING SENSOR away from fluorescent light or direct sunlight. Otherwise, the IR codes may not be registered.

If the AC power cord is disconnected for about two weeks, the registered IR codes will be erased. “ALL CLEAR!” will appear on the TV screen the next time you turn on the receiver.

Some remote controls supplied with audio and video components made by other manufacturers may have a special formats. In such cases, it may not be possible for the receiver to learn (or properly execute) their command codes.
