This quick start guide explains how to setup the remote
control to operate audio and video components other
than the receiver.
In order to make full use of the functions of the remote
control, be sure to read the section of this manual
entitled “Getting the most from your remote control”.
It contains a detailed explanation of how to operate the
remote control and make the necessary settings.
The quick start guide describes the operation of the
following keys:

1 ENT key

Gets you into and out of the preset code registration
mode.

2 VIDEO, AUDIO, and TV keys

Use these keys to select the input you want to register.

3 Numeric keys

In the preset code registration mode, you use these
keys to enter the code numbers that let you control your
components.

4 POWER key

Once you have entered the setup code for another
component, you can press this key to turn power to that
component on or off. This lets you confirm that you
entered the code properly.

This instruction manual is for some models.
Model availability and features (functions) may differ depending on
the country and sales area.

Step 8

ENT

If you accidentally exit the registration mode by pressing
the wrong key, you will not lose any setup codes you have
already saved.

Once you have finished registering
setup codes for all of the inputs,
hold down ENT key until the light
flashes twice (about three seconds).
This exists the registration mode.

Automatic input naming

In the initial factory setting, the remote control already has provisional component names registered for each input. Before you register setup codes,
pressing the input keys of the remote control causes the display to change from the factory preset input names of the receiver (VIDEO1, VIDEO2,
etc.) to the input names registered in the remote control (VCR1, VCR2, etc.). Once you have registered the appropriate setup codes for your
components, pressing the input keys of the remote control causes the display to change to the actually connected component names (LD, DVD,
etc.) for which you have registered setup codes.

The remote control supplied with this receiver is also
capable of controlling components from a variety of manu­facturers once you register the appropriate setup codes
into the remote control unit.
Refer to "Remote operation of other components" for de­tails about the operations available for each component.

Low battery warning

Replace all four batteries with new ones when you notice a shortening
of the distance from which the remote control will operate or if the
remote control blinks 5 times when you press a key. The remote
control is designed to retain setup codes in memory while you
change batteries.

• Refer to the setup code lists to find the setup code for the

component to be registered. RC7
Example: To register a CD made by KENWOOD, you would enter
"8028".

• When registering setup codes for KENWOOD audio components
which are connected to this unit by system control cords, use the
following codes to insure proper system control operation:

Cassette: 7000, CD: 8099, MD: 9000.

nent you want to control turns on.

If the component does not react, and there is more than one
setup code, enter another setup code and try again.

• PLAY, TUNING/SKIP (+/–) or MULTI CONTROL key can also be
used instead of POWER key.

• If the component is already on, pressing POWER key will turn it off.

Press the ENT key to store the code you have just input.

• The light flashes twice.

• This code replaces any previous setup codes entered for the respec­tive component.

Repeat steps 3 to 6 to register additional components

7

until all components have been registered.

• If you have components that are not remote controllable, like a
record player (etc.), you will need to register a Non-IR code at the
respective input. This keeps the respective input in the remote
control's cyclic list so you can select it using the remote control.
Please consult the owner's manual of the components you are
connecting for information regarding remote controllability. The list
of Non-IR codes is included at the beginning of the Setup code
chart.

For step 2 through step 8, make sure you start the next step
within five seconds of completing the previous one. If more
than five seconds elapses between any two steps, you will
need to go back and start over from step 2.

hold down the ENT key until the light flashes twice.

• Once registered, the display on the receiver shows the component
type instead of the default input name.
Example: if you register a VCR at the VIDEO 1 jacks, "VCR" appears
instead of "VIDEO 1 (VCR1)".

• After initial setup, any VIDEO or TV (TV1, TV2, CABLE) inputs that
have not been programmed with a setup code or Non-IR code are
deleted from the cyclic list. The PHONO input will be deleted if a
Non-IR code was not registered.

• The INPUT SELECTOR on the front panel of the receiver always
cycles through all inputs.

Note

Although each setup code is designed to work with a number of
different models, certain codes may not work with some models.
(Also, certain codes may only operate some of the functions available
on a given model.)

This operation lets you operate the registered components.
KENWOOD audio components with system control turn on and off
automatically with the receiver via the system control connections.

Use the VIDEO, AUDIO, or TV keys to select the compo-

Changing (confirming) the operation mode

This operation lets you change the remote control operation mode
without changing the input selector.
You may find this useful when you want to control one component while
using another. (For example, if you want to rewind the tape deck while
listening to a CD.)
This operation is also useful if you don't know the which mode the
remote control is set to. Executing this operation allows you to change
or reconfirm the operation mode you desire.
