Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the display change whenever you press the buttons at the top of the remote?
The RF10 is actually eight remote controls in one. The LCD display shows you which of your components it is currently set to control. When you press one of the eight COMPONENT buttons (those labeled AUDIO, CD, DVD, etc.), the RF10 changes the functions of all of other buttons to control that component.
Why does the display flash at me sometimes?
The RF10 has an extra “hidden” command (usually a power user or hobbyist feature) on some of your buttons. This command is issued instead of the normal command if you press the SHIFT button first. Once you have pressed the SHIFT button, the display will flash for ten seconds. If you press it by accident, you can stop the SHIFT flashing by pressing the SHIFT button or the LIGHT button.
Can I program the RF10 on a computer?
No, the RF10 is only programmed by the methods explained in this manual and the Quick Setup DVD Guide.
What is a “macro” button?
A “macro” is a button on the RF10 that you setup to make a lot of things happen when you press it. For example, to watch a DVD in most home theaters requires several remote controls and many button presses (power up the TV, power up the surround sound, power
up the DVD player, set the TV to the correct video input, set the surround sound to the correct audio input and finally; press play on the
DVD player remote control).
Instead of pressing all of those buttons one at a time, the RF10 enables you to setup one button that does all those steps automatically with one press. For more information on how and why you should setup macro buttons, watch the Quick Setup DVD Program Guide or refer to pages 19 - 20 in this Manual.
If the batteries run out, will I lose my settings?
No. The RF10 stores all of your settings in
