Chapter Two: Controlling the Receiver
Remote Control unit provided with the receiver is a bi-directional remote
control unit, which enables remote control while checking the information shown on the LCD display. The operations of connected devices can
also be controlled from Remote Control unit.
Before first time using the receiver or after having changed or added the
connected devices, please be sure to read the separate booklet entitled
“Connection and Setup Guide”.
The present manual describes the operation procedures in normal use.
This chapter is composed of the following sections.
How Do I Adjust the Sound? page␣ 9
Selecting the Inputs page␣ 27
How Do I Operate Devices? page␣ 28
How Do I Adjust the LCD Display? page␣ 42
Executing Several Operations at Once (Macro function) page␣ 44
Do not block the remote control transceiver part of the Receiver or the
transceiver part of the Remote Control unit. A momentary error is possible
when the signal is interruped even momentarily during transmission and
reception (for example by a person passing through the beam).
In such a case, the most recent information will be displayed when
CONFIRM/SIFT key on the Remote Control unit is pressed. Sometime it
may be necessary to reenter the interrupted command again.
