INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Marantz AV9000 THX/ DTS/Dolby Digital
Surround receiver. This remarkable component has been engineered
to provide you with many years of home theater enjoyment. Please take
a few minutes to read this manual thoroughly before you connect and
operate the AV9000. As there are a number of connection and
configuration options, you are encouraged to discuss your own
particular home theater setup with your Marantz A/V specialist dealer.
DESCRIPTION
DTS Technology was found in 1994 to commercialize 5.1 channels of
discrete digital audio into home theater systems. The DTS brings you
premiere quality and discrete multi-channel digital sound to movies.
The DTS playback unit is a motion picture sound system designed to
create full range digital sound reproduction using a theater's existing
audio system.
The no compromise DTS digital process sets the standard of quality
for cinema sound by delivering an exact copy of the studio master
recordings to neighborhood theaters. Now, every moviegoer can
hear the sound exactly as the moviemaker intended.
The Dolby Digital surround system lets you enjoy Digital TV, Digital
Satellite Receiver as well as DVD, LD software in digital surround,
which is the next step above Dolby Pro Logic. In comparison with
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital provides separate left surround and
right surround channels, for more precise localization of sounds and
a more convincing, realistic ambience. And, with Dolby Digital, all five
main channels are full ranges and a subwoofer can be added to each
channel ,if desired. By providing up to 5.1channels of digital audio
independently, Dolby Digital lets you enjoy better sound quality and
more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.
Adaptive Decorrelation-slightly changes one surround channel's time
and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel.
This expands the listening position and creates with only two
surround speakers the same spacious surround experience as in a
movie theater with multiple surround speakers.
The Marantz AV9000 was required to pass a rigorous series of quality
and performance tests, in addition to incorporating the technologies
explained above, in order to be THX Ultra certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.
THX Ultra requirements cover every aspect of performance including
pre-amplifier and power amplifier performance and operation, and
hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain.
Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro
Logic, stereo and Mono will all benefit from the THX mode when being
viewed. The THX mode should only be activated when watching
movies which were originally produced for a movie theater
environment. THX need not be activated for music, movies made
especially for TV, or shows such as sports programming, talk shows,
etc. This is because they were originally mixed for a small room
environment.
FEATURES
High quality DTS/Dolby Digital (AC-3) DSP decoding chip.
High quality THX DSP decoding chip.
5 Digital inputs, for connection to other sources, such as
DVD, DSS, CD or LD.
2 Digital outputs for connection to CD-R or MD.
Digital Dolby Pro Logic decoding provides wide dynamic
range, low distortion, and high imaging accuracy.
96 kHz PCM Digital Audio reproduced by STEREO.
Integral AM/FM tuner.
On Screen Display with Composite and "S" video.
Composite and "S" video switching.
Component video switching.
Separate dedicated Multi-Room stereo pre-amp outputs
and composite provide for dual zone independent
operation.
Infrared remote control with learning capability.
ENGLISH
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by
the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX
resulted from George Lucas' desire to reproduce the movie
soundtrack as faithfully as possible both in the movie theater and in
the home theater.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately
translate the sound from a movie theater environment into the home,
correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. When the THX
mode of the AV9000 is on, three distinct THX technologies are
automatically added:
Re-Equalization-restores the correct tonal balance for watching a
movie in a home environment. These sounds are otherwise mixed to
be brighter for a large movie theater. Re-EQ compensates for this and
prevents the soundtracks from being overly bright and harsh when
played in a home theater.
Timbre Matching-filters the information going to the surround
speakers so they more closely match the the tonal characteristics of
the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless
panning between the front and surround speakers.

1. Remote control
The distance between the transmitter of the remote control unit and
the IR SENSOR of the AV9000 should be less than about 5 meters. If
the transmitter is pointed to a direction other than the IR SENSOR or if
there is an obstacle between them, remote control may not be
possible.
Remote-controllable range
3. Receiving the remote control codes
The RC-18SR can learn most of the remote control codes from various
equipment, it learns the full word length of the code it is receiving.
Due to the sensitivity of the receiving LED the RC-18SR may also
“learn” noise from fluorescent lights, etc. which can quickly fill up the
memory of the RC-18SR.
In order to maximize the memory capacity of the RC-18SR please pay
close attention to the following:
(1) Aim the transmitting remote control at a direct line of sight to
the RC-18SR remote receiver eye.

SPEAKER SETUP AND LEVELS
The home theater system you already have installed should function
provided that there are left, center and right front speakers, left and
right rear/surround speakers and a subwoofer. For best results we
recommend that the front speakers be of the same type, with identical
or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front
sound stage as the action moves from side to side.
Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80 % of the
dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center
channel.
Rear channel speakers need to be identical to the front channel
speakers, but they should be of high quality. One of the benefits of
Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS is that surround channels are full range,
while they were frequency limited in earlier “Pro Logic’ type systems.
Bass effects are an important part of home theater. For optimal
enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low
frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers,
however, they may be used in place of a subwoofer with proper
setting of the switches in the menu system.

dubbing from digital source equipment to analog equipment, then
you should connect the digital equipment's analog outputs into the
AV9000's analog inputs in addition to making the digital connections.
Conversely, a digital source may only be dubbed using the DIGITAL
output, which must in turn be connected to a digital input of a digital
recording device such as the DR-700 or DR-17 CD recorder.
Remember-you can only dub analog to analog or digital to digital.

z MODE (operating mode)
This button is used to change from normal operation to the learning
mode, and is used when “learning” commands from other brands of
A/V components. Each time this button is pressed (using a small
pointed instrument, such as the tip of a paper clip) the mode changes
as follows: LEARN → USE → NAME. As the mode changes, the LCD
display will show which mode is currently selected.
x MACRO (for multiple step macro functions)
This button is used to memorize a series of functions. When this
button is pressed, the RC-18SR changes to macro programming
mode, and is ready to learn a sequence of remote control commands.
17
ENGLISH
c CLONE
The RC-18SR has the ability to “replicate” itself, downloading all of its
internal pre-programmed and user-programmed commands to another
RC-18SR or RC2000MKII . This button is used when you wish to “teach”
another RC-18SR or RC2000MKII all of the customized commands
you’ve already programmed in this RC-18SR.
v POWER ON and OFF
These two buttons are used to turn the main component’s (amplifier
or receiver) AC power on and off. We provide both ON and OFF
commands so that your A/V system is remote compatible with
external infrared controllers, such as in-wall key pads, etc.
b SOURCE ON/OFF
This button is used to turn the AC power on and off to any of your A/V
source components that have their own remote control turn-on and
turn-off commands, such as TV, laser disc player, VCR, etc.
n MACRO 1-4
Each of these 4 buttons can be programmed with a “string” of
commands, called a macro, to initiate a sequence of remote codes to
achieve a particular result. For example, a macro button could be
programmed to turn on the main system power, then turn on a particular
source component (such as a laser disc player), then turn on the TV set,
set the TV to AUX video input, and then adjust the surround processor to
the home theater surround decoding mode, then activate the laser disc
player’s PLAY function. This means that by pressing one macro button,
you can achieve the same result as pushing up to 20 buttons in
sequence.
Note:
Press a function selector button only once to select the LD player, etc.
Remember, when you press a function selector button only once, the
RC-18SR will not send out a remote control code to instruct the
amplifier or receiver to change to that corresponding input, but the RC18SR keypad and DIRECT function commands will provide the
selected component’s specialized remote control codes. Press a
function selector button twice within 2 seconds to change the function
of the amplifier or receiver.
For example, if you press the LD function button twice within 2
seconds, the amplifier or receiver’s input will immediately be switched
to the laser disc input, and the keypad and DIRECT function
commands for laser disc operation will be activated. Press the CD
function button only once, the amplifier or receiver’s input will not
switch to the CD input, however the RC-18SR keypad and DIRECT
function commands for compact disc operation will be activated.
We have provided 11 popular function command selector buttons,
based upon the typical input selections available with most quality A/
V amplifiers (or receivers) including popular Marantz models.
The function button DSS/VCR2 is a little different from the others, in
that when you press this button, the RC-18SR will send out a
command to the amplifier or receiver to switch to the DSS input, and
then the RC-18SR keypad and DIRECT function commands will be
configured for DSS (digital satellite system) control. We have
included DSS commands within the RC-18SR’s pre-programmed
memory for RCA brand DSS equipment. If you have another brand of
DSS, you can “teach” the RC-18SR with the remote control codes of
your equipment.
m DIRECT
With today’s high performance A/V systems, it is not unusual for each
component in your system to have dozens of specialized command
functions. If we were to duplicate all of those commands for each
component onto the RC-18SR key pad, we could easily exceed 300
buttons for an entire home theater system, which would result in either
a huge key pad, or buttons of infinitesimal size. The DIRECT command
buttons (4 on each side of the LCD display, 8 total) work with the PAGE
buttons (4 pages for each source component) to provide up to 32
dedicated specialized functions for each of the 11 function input
selectors. Each DIRECT function may also be provided with an alphanumeric function indicator visible in the LCD display. You may even
change the displayed name of each function to another name, if you
wish.
, PAGE
Used to select any 1 of the 4 pages of 8 functions for each DIRECT
button, as explained above.
. FUNCTION
Press one of these buttons once or twice to select a particular source
component. For example, to set the amplifier or receiver to the laser
disc input, press the LD button twice within 2 seconds. Along with the
source selection, special functions may become available (the
DIRECT keys), as well as activating the transport function keys, so
that you can now directly operate the laser disc player from the RC18SR. If you wish, you may even re-program the status indicators in
the LCD window to reflect your own particular function name
whenever that source (function) button is selected.
Here are the button names and their functions:
LD : Laser disc player
TV : Television
VCR1 : Video cassette recorder
DSS/VCR2 : Digital satellite decoder or second video cassette
recorder
AUX : Can be used for an auxiliary source component
TUNER : AM/FM tuner, or AM/FM tuner section of a receiver
CD : Compact disc player or changer
TAPE : Audio tape deck, or digital audio recorder
AMP : Amplifier or receiver control functions
DVD : Digital video disc player
CD-R/MD : CD-Recorder or mini disc player
⁄0 LCD window
The LCD window provides a wealth of information, including function
selection name, DIRECT function names, learning and programming
steps, as well as useful indicators for battery status, and other helpful
indicators. The LCD window features back-lighting, making it easy to
view when the room light is very low.
⁄1 Volume up (+) and down (-)
Used to raise and lower the main system volume level. Note that
these buttons are clearly the largest size, and are conveniently
located and contoured for easy operation, even in low lighting.
⁄2 Ten keypad
Like a telephone key pad, the ten number buttons (0-9) are used to
enter numeric digits. They are useful for finding a specific track on a
CD, or to tune a pre-set radio station, etc. The “0” button performs the
same operation as the “CLEAR” button on the AV9000 main unit.
⁄3 MEMO
This button is used to program your CD player’s track memory, or to
enter a VCR recording program, and can be used to provide the
MEMO function included with other components in your system.
⁄4 CLEAR
This button is used to cancel certain memory or programming
operations. It operates differently from the “CLEAR” button on the
AV9000 main unit.
⁄5 Transport control functions
These buttons provide transport commands for your source
components, such as laser disc player, CD player, VCR, audio tape
deck, etc., and are dependent on the function source selected. For
example, when the RC-18SR is set to LD (laser disc) mode, the
transport keys will operate the laser disc player’s PLAY, STOP,
PAUSE, FAST FORWARD, FAST REVERSE, NEXT and PREVIOUS
track functions. Change the RC-18SR function selector to VCR, and
these keys will then operate the VCR’s transport command functions,
etc.
18
⁄6 CURSOR buttons
Some components feature menus that are navigated with up, down,
left and right direction commands. The cursor buttons can be used to
navigate within on-screen menus, for components such as amplifier
or receiver, TV set, DSS/satellite tuner, etc. These buttons are also
used for certain RC-18SR programming functions.
⁄7 MUTE
For those components (such as amplifier or receiver, TV, etc.) with a
mute function, this button can be used to mute the sound temporarily.
⁄8 GUIDE
This button is intended for owners of DSS (digital satellite system) or
similar equipment, to activate the on-screen programming guide,
used when changing channels, etc.
⁄9 LIGHTING
Press this button to activate the back-lit LCD screen and back-lit keys
independently SETUP mode. A quick touch is all that is necessary.
The back-lighting will remain on for 3 seconds. If you wish, you can
even re-program the RC-18SR to shorten or lengthen the amount of
time the back-lighting is activated when this button is pressed.
¤0 Channel up( ), down( )
Press this button to change the tuner, TV, DSS or VCR preset
channels to upward or downward.
¤1 Transmitter window
Infrared signals will eminate from behind this window. Simply aim the
RC-18SR towards the component(s) you wish to control. You may
find that the RC-18SR works fine when placed on a coffee table
pointing towards your A/V system components.
¤2 Receiving window
Used when learning commands from other remotes, this window is
placed at the bottom of the RC-18SR, so that the two remotes are
vertically oriented for easy transfer of remote control information.
Later in this guide we will show you which of the RC-18SR buttons can
be “taught” new commands from other components.
d Battery indicator:
When the batteries are running low, this indicator will become visible.
At this point, it will not be possible to learn any new remote codes, but
normal remote control operation is still provided (including the use of
any previously learned codes). At this point, you should consider
changing the batteries soon. As time goes on, and the battery power
diminishes further, this indicator will begin blinking. At this point, no
remote commands will be transmitted. This is your signal to replace
the batteries with fresh ones as soon as possible. Eventually, if you
ignore the blinking battery indicator and do not install fresh batteries,
then the batteries may eventually be totally exhausted, and the LCD
display window will be completely blank. However, any previously
learned commands and macros will not be erased from the
microprocessor’s memory.
The RC-18SR is supplied with a full set of RC-5 remote control codes
in permanent (non-volatile) memory. Even if the batteries are fully
exhausted, the RC-5 codes (used for Marantz A/V components) and
learned codes will never disappear.
We recommend that you use a quality brand of alkaline batteries, for
best results and longest life. Newly available lithium “AA” batteries
can even provide longer life than alkaline batteries, and are also
recommended.
e Transmit indicator:
When a button is pressed, this indicator shows that an infrared code
is being transmitted.
f USE indicator:
For normal operation, the USE indicator should be visible.
g LEARN indicator:
Visible when the RC-18SR is set to LEARN mode.
h NAME indicator:
Visible when the RC-18SR is in the learning mode, and function
naming is being changed.
i PAGE or MACRO indicator:
This indicator usually functions in association with a PAGE button ,,
but also functions as the MACRO indicator when a MACRO button n
is pressed.
ENGLISH
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) WINDOW
Within this display, all operating messages (function name, mode
names, etc.) are shown. When a particular button is pressed (such
as a transport command, like PLAY), its status will be shown in the
display for 1 minute. The display will continue to show the source
function selected continuously, however.
a Function indication:
The selected source function is displayed, such as LD, TV, etc., up to
6 characters maximum.
b Status indication:
The selected status of the present page, or other items, is displayed,
up to 9 characters maximum.
c Direct commands:
8 DIRECT commands are available in 1 page, up to 4 characters
maximum.
j indicator:
Visible when the RC-18SR is set to the beep function.
Installing the batteries:
The battery compartment is located on the rear panel. Please use
only alkaline or lithium batteries, “AA” size. The RC-18SR requires
four AA batteries. There are markings in the battery compartment to
show you the proper battery orientation. If after installing the
batteries, you cannot see any indication in the LCD window when a
button is pressed, re-check to ensure that the batteries are properly
positioned in the compartment.

RC-18SR BASIC OPERATION
USE Mode:
As supplied from the factory, the RC-18SR is already permanently
programmed with many pre-set commands common to Marantz and
Philips equipment, as well as other brands of components that utilize
the Philips RC-5 remote control language.
1. If the RC-18SR is in another mode (LEARN, etc.), press the
operation mode button z with the tip of a paper clip, until the
USE indication appears.
2. Press one of the function buttons ., to change to another
component’s commands such as LD (refer to Figure 1).

3. “LD” will be indicated within the LCD window, and the function
codes will be set to operate the laser disc player. Press the
function button again within 2 seconds and the amplifier or
receiver’s input changes to laser disc.
4. Now you can operate the laser disc player. When a button is
pressed, the symbol indicates that a remote code is being
transmitted. Note that for a particular source component, not
every button may have a command programmed for it. In that
case, nothing would be indicated.
5. Using the DIRECT buttons D-1 through D-8 and PAGEs 1
through 4, up to 32 different specialized commands are available
for each FUNCTION, up to a total of 352 specialized commands
(32 direct commands times 11 functions). Note that for any
particular function selector, not all 32 direct commands may be
provided and/or named as supplied from the factory.
6. For example, the RC-18SR is supplied from the factory with 3
pages of DIRECT commands for the LD (laser disc) function. To
change pages, press the page direction or buttons ,:
Page 1: MODE: Side A/B laser disc playback functions
Page 2: L D: Specialized laser disc functions
Page 3:R E C: Recording from laser disc to VCR functions
At this point, you may wish to put this guide aside temporarily, and
begin using the RC-18SR with your A/V system. If you already
have any Marantz components, or Philips and/or other brands of
components that use the RC-5 remote control language, you can
begin controlling those components with the RC-18SR right away.
Take some time to become comfortable with the operation of the
RC-18SR. We think that its intuitive key pad layout and easy to read
LCD window will permit you to quickly become familiar with its
operation.
If you do not have any Marantz or other brands of components
that use the Philips RC-5 remote control language, then you may
wish to proceed to the next section, which will describe the steps
necessary to “teach” your RC-18SR remote codes from other
components you may have in your system.
LEARN mode:
The RC-18SR has the ability to learn remote codes for just about any
component in your A/V system. If the original component was
supplied with an infrared remote control, its commands can be
learned by the RC-18SR. If you have another brand of laser disc
player, for example, you can program the RC-18SR with its codes.
For example, we’ll show you how to “teach” the RC-18SR commands
from another brand of laser disc player.
1. Using a sharp point (such as the tip of a paper clip), press the
operation MODE button z. Each time you press the button, the
mode within the LCD display, the LEARN indicator will begin
blinking.
2. Place the laser disc player’s supplied infrared remote controller
so that its transmitter window (usually at the top) is facing the
receiving infrared sensor window ¤2 of the RC-18SR (at the
bottom), about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
3. Press the LD function button on the RC-18SR.
4. Press the play button ⁄5 on the RC-18SR.
5. Press and hold the corresponding PLAY button on the laser disc
player’s remote transmitter until the “OK” indicator appears in the
RC-18SR LCD window (see Figure 2) or the beep sounds emit (if
the beep sound function is set ).

If the “AGAIN” indicator appears in the RC-18SR LCD window, it
means that for some reason the command was not properly
learned. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 above.
In the unlikely event that an infrared command cannot be learned
by the RC-18SR, “NG” (no good) will appear in the LCD window,
meaning that the command is not “learnable”. The RC-18SR has
been tested for compatibility with a very wide range of infrared
remote control frequencies and data word lengths, but in some
very rare instances, it may not be possible to learn a particular
remote control command.
Continue to “teach” the RC-18SR the rest of the source
transmitter’s transport function commands, such as STOP,
PAUSE, NEXT, PREVIOUS, FAST FORWARD and REWIND, by
repeating steps 3, 4 and 5 above.
6. Proceed to learn the numeric “10 keys” from the source
transmitter to the RC-18SR’s 10 key numeric pad ⁄2 by repeating
steps 3, 4 and 5 above.
7. For each additional function, such as TV, VCR, etc., repeat steps
3, 4 and 5 above. During the LEARN operation, if any button is
not pressed within 1 minute, the RC-18SR will revert back to the
previous operating mode.
n To make a function button learn a code, switch the input
function then press the button again.
8. After memorizing all desired remote codes, press the operation
mode button z with the tip of a paper clip, and select the USE
mode. The LCD display window will continue to display the USE
indicator, and all of the newly memorized codes will be available
(see Figure 3).

Programming the DIRECT mode buttons m:
The following example will show how to memorize the SIDE-A function
command of another brand of laser disc player into the D1 direct
button.
1. Using a sharp point (such as the tip of a paper clip), press the
operation MODE button z to switch the RC-18SR to LEARN
mode.
2. Place the laser disc player’s supplied infrared remote controller
so that its transmitter window is facing the receiving infrared
sensor window ¤2 of the RC-18SR about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
3. Press the LD function button . on the RC-18SR.
4. Using the direct function page keys and ,, set the direct
function to Page 1. Press the D-1 button m on the RC-18SR.
20
5. Press and hold the corresponding SIDE-A button on the laser
disc player’s remote transmitter until the head of name blinks in
the RC-18SR LCD window or beep sounds emit. The RC-18SR
changes to the RENAME mode automatically as the next step. A
function name of the DIRECT function button blinks, you can
rename this blinking function name. You input the desired letter
or number with the ten keypad. (See the table in step 3 of the next
procedure for referece.) If you need not rename, press the OK
button or the other buttons except the ten keypad.
6. Now, proceed to program the other commands from the laser
disc player’s remote transmitter to the other DIRECT function
buttons (D2-D8). When you have “taught” all 8 direct functions
for Page 1, press the page direction key , to go to Page 2, and
you can program more direct function keys.
7. After memorizing all codes to all DIRECT function buttons, press
the operation MODE button z with the tip of a paper clip and
return the RC-18SR to the USE mode. Now, the newly memorized
codes are usable from the RC-18SR.
If you wish, you can re-write the names for each function name, status
name, and the direct function command names as follows:
For our example, you can change the LCD display window indication
from “LD” to “LV-520” (which is the model number for a Marantz laser
disc player). Remember, you can re-name a function selector button
with a new name of up to six characters of letters and numbers in any
combination.
1. Using the tip of a paper clip, press the operation MODE button z
until the NAME indicator appears and begins to blink in the LCD
window.
2. Choose a button that you wish to re-name, in this case, press the
“LD” function button .. In the LCD window, the first character of
the six function character display indicators starts blinking “A”,
which is the first letter of the alphabet if you press “1” button
twice.
3. Choose the desired letter or number by pressing the 10 keypad
buttons ⁄2. Each 10 keypad button has 4 characters attached to
it as follows:
10 keypad button Press, press again, press again, etc.
11 → A → B → C → 1 → ........
22 → D → E → F → 2 → ........
33 → G → H → I → 3 → ........
44 → J → K → L → 4 → ........
55 → M → N → O → 5 → ........
66 → P → Q → R → 6 → ........
77 → S → T → U → 7 → ........
88 → V → W → X → 8 → ........
99 → Y → Z → / → 9 → ........
00 → + → — →
SPACE
→ , → ’ → 0 ........
So, in the above example, by pressing the 10 keypad number 4 four
times, you get the letter “L” to appear in the display (see Figure 4).

4. You use the cursor buttons and ⁄6 to move to the next
character in the display. By pressing the right cursor button ,
the letter “L” is confirmed in the first character space in the LCD
window and the next character position begins blinking. If you
wish to erase a previously memorized character, position the
cursor over the character and put the SPACE character in its
place (the SPACE character is ten keypad number 0 pressed four
times, from the above character chart).
5. Continuing along, re-write the remaining letters “V”, “–”, “5”, “2”,
and “0”. By pressing the cursor keys and , each character is
confirmed in place. When you go to other DIRECT function
pages by using the page function keys ,, characters in the
previous page are also confirmed in place.
The name re-writing operation must be done on a function by
function basis, that is, re-write the names for all of the LD direct
functions, then switch to another function such as VCR, and
begin the re-writing process anew to re-name the VCR direct
function commands. After completing all re-writing of any of the
names, press the OK button within the cursor keys ⁄6.
How to re-write the STATUS name:
Using the same steps as outlined above, you can re-write the 9
character status name. During step 5 above, by pressing the up and
down cursor keys ⁄6 the left side of the status indicator begins
blinking, and you can change its display according to the same
method outlined above, using the 10 keypad character generator.
Remember, to confirm each character change, use the cursor keys
and . As above, when you change the direct function page by
pressing the page direction keys ,, this will confirm the re-written
characters in place as well for the page you just finished re-naming.
You have up to 9 letters, numbers or other characters available for
each status name.
How to re-write the DIRECT function button names:
You can change the name for each of the 8 direct function buttons by
using the steps described above to change main function name and
status name. Remember, each main function has 8 direct function
buttons on each of the 4 pages, so you have up to 32 direct functions
that can be re-named, if you wish, for each of the 11 main function
selection buttons .. You have up to 4 characters available for each
direct function button name.
After completing all re-writing of any of the names, press the OK
button within the cursor keys ⁄6, or switch to another function button
(such as CD). If, during re-naming, a button has not been pressed for
1 minute, the RC-18SR will revert to the prior operating mode (USE)
automatically.
If re-writing of all of the desired direct mode functions has been
completed, use the tip of a paper clip to press the operation MODE
button z, and select the “USE” mode. Now, all of the re-written
names are available for use.
How to clear (erase) the memorized codes
(and any re-written names):
The RC-18SR has a high capacity RAM, which ordinarily will allow the
learning of several hundred remote codes (and their associated new
names, if desired). However, due to the fact that some remote codes
occupy more memory space than others, it is possible that the
available RAM fills up completely, and the “FULL” indicator appears
in the LCD window. In this case, it will not be possible to learn any
new remote codes without first deleting some or all of the previously
learned remote codes and/or re-written names. There are 4 ways to
erase learned remote codes from memory:
n Erasing by button(s)
n Erasing by DIRECT button(s)
n Erasing by function(s)
n Erasing all memory contents (complete erasure)
•• Note that the factory-programmed RC-5 codes are not stored in
RAM, and are therefore not erasable.
For any of these memory erasure options, you must first set the RC18SR to LEARN mode.
Erasing the memory assigned to a particular button:
Press and hold the CLEAR button ⁄4 and press the button that you
wish to erase 2 times. The code previously learned by that button will
be erased, and will then be either empty, or the original factory
provided RC-5 code will re-appear in its place.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES
Macro mode:
The word “macro” is used to describe a series of specific steps
carried out in sequence. For example, a word processing program
can use macros to carry out common repetitive typing tasks. During
the day to day operation of an A/V system, you might often find
yourself pressing the same combination of remote control buttons.
The RC-18SR features the ability to “learn” a sequence of infrared
commands, and “assign” that sequence to a single button, called a
MACRO button n. Then, when you want to achieve a specific result,
you can activate a macro button to begin sending out a series of
commands. For example, suppose you wish to activate your A/V
system, and watch a movie on laser disc. A single macro button
could send out the following commands in this suggested sequence:
n Turn the main amp power on, then turn the TV power on, then
switch the TV to the AUX video input, then change the amp to the
laser disc (LD) input, then turn the LD player power on, then
activate the LD play command, then set the amp surround sound
mode to Dolby Pro Logic.
The above 7 step sequence can be programmed into a single macro
button, and can be used anytime you want to watch a LD movie.
Other macro functions could be used for CD listening, or any other
sequence of steps that you regularly perform while controlling your A/
V system.
Macro commands are available when the RC-18SR is set to USE
mode.
To program a macro, first identify which commands you wish to
memorize, and note if any commands must be in a specific order (for
example, before you can activate an amplifier’s surround mode, the
amp must first be turned on).
If you wish to go ahead and clear all of the memorized codes for that
function button, press the OK button within the cursor keys ⁄6. After
clearing the memory contents for that function, the RC-18SR will
restore any factory programmed RC-5 codes for the function, if any,
or will simply be empty.
If you want to cancel the memory clear operation, do not press the
“OK” button, but instead simply touch any other button. When you
clear all the commands associated with a function button, all of the
learned direct function commands (D-1 through D-8, pages 1 through
4) and control buttons, ten keypad, etc are cleared as well.
Complete erasure:
While holding the CLEAR button ⁄4 depressed, press both of the ON
and OFF POWER buttons v simultaneously; “ALL-CLR?” is
displayed on the LCD window (see Figure 7).
Figure 7

NAME

If you wish to finalize the complete erasure process, press the OK
button within the cursor keys ⁄6. If you do not wish to proceed with the
complete erasure process, simply press any key other than OK.
Remember, the RC-5 codes as supplied from the factory cannot be
erased from memory, but they can be replaced with different codes as
you wish.
n The all-clear operation takes about 15 seconds after the OK button
is pressed.
n By now, you have learned how to memorize codes from other
brands of components, including changing the various function,
status, and direct function names.
Before continuing on to the more advanced RC-18SR
programming techniques, you may wish to continue “teaching” the
RC-18SR remote control with any or all other commands for other
components in your system. When you feel you’ve transferred as
many different commands from other components into the RC18SR as you’d like, and possibly changed some or all of their
names as well, then feel free to proceed to the next section.
1. Press the MACRO x operation mode button with the tip of a

The “M1-00” indication signifies Macro number 1, no steps yet

will advance by one digit-”01”, “02”, etc. After the first macro step is
programmed, two additional digits (with a decimal in between)
become visible at the end of the status line, showing the timing value
for each step (see Figure 10).

3. Press the command buttons in the desired sequence. When you
press a command button to be learned into the macro sequence,
its name will appear within the LCD window. Every time you
press another remote command, the macro step number
increases one by one.
4. It is possible during macro programming to adjust the timing of the
interval between several macro steps. Using the cursor keys ⁄6, the
interval between macro playback steps can be increased or
decreased in 1/2 second steps, over the range beginning at 1/2
second up to 10 seconds. For example, when the indicator shows
“0.5 SEC”, if you press the direction key, the interval time would
change to 10 seconds, then with another press of the direction
key, it would change to 9.5 seconds, etc. Use the direction key to
increase the interval time, and use the direction key to decrease
the interval time.
Some equipment may not be able to receive infrared commands in
one-half second steps. If after programming a macro you find that
the sequence was not properly carried out, you may wish to
experiment with different sequence timings to obtain the correct
operation results by using the adjustment method described
above.
Within each macro button, up to 20 steps can be memorized. In
the event that you wish to memorize more than 20 steps per
macro, then press another MACRO button n , and follow the
above operations. A maximum of 80 steps can be programmed
this way. However, you will probably find that 20 steps is more
than enough to carry out even the most complex macro
instructions to achieve a specific home theater operating result.
Note:
To memorize the cursor button ⁄6 except OK button, press and hold
the LIGHTING button ¤0 before pressing the cursor button.
When programming macro steps, note that the following buttons
would not normally be included in a macro sequence, and are
therefore not available for inclusion in a macro:
MODE z, MACRO x, CLONE c, PAGE ,, VOLUME ⁄1, MEMO ⁄3,
CLEAR ⁄4 and LIGHTING ¤0.
To check to see which MACRO buttons n have been programmed
with macros, at the beginning of the macro learning sequence the
four numerical (1 through 4) indicators at the bottom of the LCD
window will show a box around the number for each MACRO button
that already has a macro assigned to it (see Figure 11, which shows
that only MACRO button number 1 has a macro assigned to it).

inadvertently changed as well when the macro is played back. The
RC-18SR has a special feature to prevent this from occurring,
allowing you to access the special commands available under each
RC-18SR function button during a macro playback sequence, while
at the same time preventing the amplifier or receiver from constantly
switching its input source back and forth at the same time.
During the programming sequence, just remember that if you wish to
activate a specific input selector on your amplifier or receiver, make
sure that you press the desired input selection button FIRST.
Subsequent function button selections can be incorporated in the
macro sequence, but on playback, the RC-18SR will only send out a
function selection infrared command to the amplifier or receiver
based upon the first function command used in the macro sequence.
For example, you may wish to have a macro sequence which
activates the laser disc player input on your amplifier or receiver, and
then have additional commands in the sequence to instruct your TV
set to switch to an external video source to receive the laser disc
video signal. During the macro programming, make sure that you
press the LD function selector button BEFORE you press any of the
other function selector buttons in the sequence. You can then
include any of the TV commands by pressing the TV function selector
button, later in the sequence. When this macro is next used (played
back), the RC-18SR will send out the command to change the amplifier
or receiver’s input selector to laser disc input (since its function
selector button was the first one programmed into that macro
sequence), and will not subsequently change the amplifier or
receiver’s input to TV (but will send out any special TV commands that
you included in the macro sequence).
Programming a macro under a function selector key:
If you wish, you can also program a macro that can be activated by
pressing one of the function selector . keys. The programming
steps are similar to the steps outlined for programming a macro
number button n. The following example shows how to program a
macro under the LD (laser disc) function selector .:
(activate the main amplifier’s power on, switch the source to laser
disc, switch the amplifier’s surround mode to PRO LOGIC, switch on
the television, switch to the television’s AUX video input, power up the
laser disc player, and begin laser disc playback)
1. Press the MACRO x operation mode button with the tip of a
paper clip.
2. Press the LD function button ..
3. Press the following buttons:
POWER ON, LD, AMP, direct function D-2 (Dolby mode selector)
in page 1, TV*, SOURCE ON, direct function D-3 (VIDEO input

4. Press the MACRO x button with the tip of a paper clip. The RC18SR will revert to the normal mode and save the macro under
the LD function button.
5. To execute the new macro sequence, press and hold the LD
function selector button for 3 seconds.

In the event that you wish to revise a programmed macro sequence,
search the step number you wish to change by using the cursor
button and ⁄6, and then re-enter the new command. If you
memorized different commands than have already been
programmed, then the previous macro sequence will be erased and
re-written over with the new sequence. To add the new command,
press the MEMO button at your desired point. To delete the
sequence, press the CLEAR button at your desired point.
During macro programming, if a button is not pressed within 1
minute, the mode will automatically revert to the original mode (USE).
When you have completed the macro programming sequence, press
the MACRO x operation button with the the tip of a paper clip. The
“END” indication appears in the LCD display window. When you

status.
There is one more important point to note about programming a
macro sequence. During a macro sequence, you may include more
than one function selection button to access some transport and/or
other commands. Depending on the macro sequence, this might

Duplicating the memory contents of one RC-18SR to another RC18SR or RC2000MKII.
For a complete home theater system, with numerous components
from many different manufacturers, you may find that you have stored
dozens, even hundreds of different codes, along with specialized
names, macros, etc. We have provided a very quick and simple
procedure that allows you to download the entire customized memory
contents of one RC-18SR remote control into another RC-18SR or
RC2000MKII.
24
To “clone” (duplicate) the memory contents of one RC-18SR
into another RC-18SR or RC2000MKII, please follow these steps:
1. Place the source RC-18SR (the one with all of the customized
commands, names, macros, macro sequences, etc) with its
infrared transmitter window ¤1 facing the receiving infrared
sensor ¤2 of another “fresh” RC-18SR or RC2000MKII (5 cm, or 2
inches apart).
2. Press the CLONE button c of the source RC-18SR or
RC2000MKII with the tip of a paper clip, and select “CLONE TX”
(clone transmit) mode .
Note:
When using RC18SR, “RC2002” is displayed in LCD window. If
the receiving remote control unit is RC2000MKII , then the display
does not change. If the receiving remote control unit is RC-18SR,
then the display is changed to “RC18SR” by pressing the cursor
button ⁄6. (see Figure 20)

3. Press the CLONE button c of the learning (receiving) RC-18SR or
RC2000MKII with the tip of a paper clip or a similar object, and
select “CLONE RX” (clone receive mode).
When using RC18SR, “RC2002” is displayed in LCD window. If
the transmitting remote control unit is RC2000MKII , then the
display does not change. If the transmitting remote control unit is
RC-18SR, then the display is changed to “RC18SR” by pressing
the cursor button ⁄6. Then press the PLAY button ⁄5.
Note:
When the transmitting remote control unit is RC2000MKII , then
All clone does not activate. To clone the Function key, press the
each Function key except DSS/VCR2 and AMP keys. Eight keys
can be cloned at once. If All clone activates without presing the
Function button, “N/A” will display and the clone is not perfomed
When the transmitting remote control unit is RC-18SR and
receiving remote control unit is RC2000MKII, The DSS/VCR2,
CD-R/MD and AMP keys cannot be cloned. To clone the
Function key, press each Function key except DSS/VCR2, CD-R/
MD and AMP keys.

After all bars are lit up on both displays, “TX OK” (transmission OK)
will appear in the source RC-18SR’s LCD window, and “RX OK”
(reception OK) will appear in the “cloned” RC-18SR’s LCD window,
confirming the end of the copying process (see Figures 24 and 25).
Figure 24 Figure 25
LEARN
Please be sure that, during the copying process, neither RC-18SR is
physically disturbed (ideally, they should be placed on a table or
other surface, and not hand-held during the copying process). If, for
some reason, the copying process was interrupted, the “clone” RC18SR’s LCD display window will indicate “RX NG” (reception no
good). Simply begin the clone process anew by repeating the above
steps.
Note:
Cloning is available between the same remote control unit series only
therefore the RC-18SR cannot be cloned by the RC2000.
5. If the source RC-18SR’s memory contents are at or near full
capacity, the copying process will take about 3 minutes. After
completion of the copying (cloning) process, press the CLONE
button c on both RC-18SR’s with the tip of a paper clip, and
select the OFF mode.
Then, you’ll have two identically programmed RC-18SR remotes,
one of which can again be used as your system’s primary remote
control, and you’ll have the added confidence of knowing that in
the event of inadvertent programming (or memory contents being
cleared somehow), you can simply retrieve the “backup” RC18SR that you’ve safely tucked away, and within minutes restore
the programming contents of the original RC-18SR with your
customized configuration.

NAME
OTHER FUNCTIONS
The Marantz RC-18SR includes the ability to tailor the lighting
features according to your preferences. As supplied from the
factory, the RC-18SR has lighting features (and lighting timings):
The lighting time is set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds
which you can change if you prefer a different lighting time. If you
wish to maximize battery life, you can de-active the lighting
function entirely.
There is also a lighting button ¤0, so that in any light situation, you
can activate the backlighting feature. The lighting time in this case
is set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds, which you can also
change. If you wish to conserve battery power, you can deactivate the lighting function entirely.
RC-5 Shipped destination:
As mentioned earlier in this guide, the RC-18SR is provided with
many commands from the factory with infrared codes conforming to
the Philips RC-5 remote control language (used by Marantz, Philips,
and some other companies). We have provided two different RC-5
command code sets in the RC-18SR, according to the local
requirements of different markets and the different types of remote
control codes used in those markets. One code set is for North
American (USA) users, while the other code set is for REST users.
Your RC-18SR has been set at the factory for USA (United States)
codes. It can be easily changed, if you wish.
Set-Up:
To change the lighting time(s), or the destination setting, please
follow these steps:
n Select the SETUP mode, by holding the MEMO button ⁄3 and at
the same time pressing the OK button within the cursor keys ⁄6.
(see Figures 26 and 27)
Figure 26 Figure 27
Battery life:
n Battery life will vary from user to user, if the remote is used
constantly or only occasionally, including the amount of
backlighting usage. We feel that you can expect the
batteries to last about 4 months, based upon 15 remote
control operations per day (every day), and 3 lighting
operations per day (every day). If the remote is used more
often, and if the lighting times are set to longer times than
the factory settings, then the battery life may be shortened
somewhat.
n As explained earlier in the guide, the RC-18SR’s
sophisticated battery conservation system will advise you
long before the battery power is fully exhausted, and will
further warn you to replace the batteries by simply
becoming inoperative at a certain point. The customized
memory contents and user-adjusted settings will still be
retained in memory. When you install a fresh set of
batteries, the memory contents are protected always,
because the RC-18SR uses the non-volatile memory.
Alkaline (and the newer lithium) types are recommended for
longest battery life.
As you become more familiar over time with how you are
using the RC-18SR in your A/V system, you may wish to
consider reducing the lighting time(s) if possible, as this
can help to extend the battery life.
Adjustment of the LCD contrast
n The LCD contrast can be adjusted as follows;
Enter SETUP mode of the RC-18SR by pressing the MEMO
and OK button. Press the VOL+ to increase the LCD
contrast. Press the VOL - to decrease the LCD contrast.
Press the OK button to end this setting and return the
original operation.

A time figure consisting of only 1 digit can be input by pressing
the figure then waiting for 2 seconds or input “0” before entering a
desired digit. You can set time in the range from 0 up to 60
seconds (More time would use up more battery life than fewer
seconds). “2” is set when shipped from the factory. To set “OFF”
input “0”.
BEEP sound
The beep sounds when any buttons are pressed except the AMP
button.
The beep sound level can be set by pressing the D-6 button. The
display indicates “+” indication and the beeps are sounded by
pressing the D-6 button. The “+” indication is followed, by
another the “+” indication as the beep sound is increased; + →
++ → +++ → ++++
When the “++++” appears, this is the maximum. If the D-6 button
is pressed once more, it will reset to OFF.

DIRECT COMMAND FUNCTIONS LISTING
Within the RC-18SR LCD window, each of the 8 Direct Function buttons
has 4 character labels attached for pre-programmed remote
commands. These commands can be used with various Marantz A/V
components, or other components using the Philips RC-5 remote
control language.
You can easily replace the factory-supplied remote command codes
with different codes from other brands of equipment. Most functions
that are supplied apply to a wide variety of equipment from many
companies. The following list shows the remote code assignments
for the direct function buttons, for each of the 11 main function
selector buttons, as supplied from the factory. You can add or
replace function commands, including re-naming them if you wish, in
order to customize the RC-18SR for your own particular selection of
A/V components.

SURROUND MODES
The AV9000 incorporates digital signal processors (DSP) which can reproduce various surround effects you experience in concert halls and movie
theaters, etc. Nine Surround Modes, are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played.
FEATURES
1. STEREO
This mode disables all surround processing.
Left and right channels play as is when PCM-audio or analog stereo is input.
Even when playing multi-channel encoded Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the multi-channels are mixed down to two
channels, left and right, before being output.
ENGLISH
2. MONO
3. DOLBY
4. DTS
(Cinema)
(Music)
5. MOVIE
HALL
MATRIX
6. THX CINEMA
This mode is intended for use with old movies, televisions shows and other programs that have a monaural sound track. All
sound will be reproduced through the center channel speaker, if installed. Even when playing multi-channel encoded Dolby
Digital and DTS sources, the multi-channels are mixed down to monaural channel, center, before being output. If there is no
center speaker, monaural sound is reproduced from the front left and right speakers. However output will be muted when 96
kHz PCM signal is input.
This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.
Playing multi-channel encoded 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right,
surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel.
Dolby Pro Logic processing is performed on Dolby Surround encoded two channel signals (Dolby Digital two channels, PCMaudio and Analog stereo). This allows play of the four discrete channels (left, center, right and surround).
Note:
PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
However output will be muted when 96 kHz PCM signal or DTS signal are input.
This mode is valid only for DTS digital signal input and from DTS encoded source materials such as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD.
Playing 5.1-channel multi-channel encoded DTS sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left
and surround right) and the Low Frequency Effect channel.
On DTS Music mode, LFE signal is less than 10 dB. If you playback DTS music material, you should select the DTS Music.
When a signal in another format is input, output will be muted.
This mode cannot be used when Analog input has been selected.
These modes provide surround effect processing in addition to Dolby Digital, DTS and Pro Logic decoding.
They will produce theater-, concert-hall- and stadium-like atmospheres. Select as your taste requires.
Note:
PCM-audio signals can be processed in this mode when sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. The 96 kHz.
sampling frequency mutes output.
THX Cinema surround mode applies additional processing to Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic multi-channel surround
sources. The THX processing was developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. to recreated the sound of top-quality theater. Use the THX
Cinema mode for all movies on disc, tape or broadcast.
Note:
PCM-audio signals can be subjected to THX processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
However output will be muted when 96 kHz PCM signal is input.
7. AUTO
Caution for DTS signal:
This signal can be played when the connected DVD-player, laserdisc player or CD-player responds to DTS-digital output. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce noise. If that
happens, set the Surround mode to DTS.
Playing a DTS-CD or DTS laser disc causes the player’s analog
output terminal to output noise. Before playing DTS sources, be
sure to connect the player’s digital output to this machine’s digital
input. Be careful when connecting the output of these players to
analog audio input.
Note that this machine has the following restrictive functions built in
to reduce noise emission as much as possible.
If DTS is selected while in Surround mode, digital input cannot be
switched to analog input. When the analog input function has been
selected, Surround mode cannot be switched to DTS.
While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are playing in another
Surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital
input to analog input.
When this mode is selected, the program automatically switches playback mode according to type of digital input signal and
then determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, PCM-audio or DTS to play the corresponding sound.
When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the number of channels for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be
played.
Note:
Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro Logic
processing before play.
Inputting a PCM-audio signal plays stereo.
Caution for 96 kHz PCM-audio signal:
This signal can be played when a DVD-player or DAT-player
connected to this machine responds to 96 kHz PCM output. For
details, refer to the player’s operation manual.
The signal can be played when STEREO or AUTO has been selected
for the Surround mode.
Some DVD formatted discs are featured copy protect. When use
such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
