Warnings and Safety Precaution

The SLIM SERIES PLASMA MONITOR PD4292D is designed
and manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service. No
maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth
to clean the panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner
to clean the panel surface.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read
carefully and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heat
build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install in a closed cabinet
or shelves.
The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you enclose the unit
in a cabinet or rack, be sure there is adequate space at the
top of the unit to allow heated air to rise and escape.
If the monitor because too hot, the overheat protector will be
activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens,
turn off the power to the monitor and unplug the power cord.
If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot,
move the monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the
monitor to cool for 60 minutes. If the problem persists,
contact your marantz dealer for service.

2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension
cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely
inserted.

3. Do not expose unit to rain or moisture.

4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to
modify the power cord.

5. Unplug unit during electrical storms of if unit will not be used
over a long period.

6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous
high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in this
way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a serious
risk of electric shock.

7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. marantz is not
liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified
persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all
service to authorized marantz Service Centers.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 120 V 50/60 Hz AC power supply. Continued
operation at line voltage greater than 120 Volts AC will
shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire
hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not drop.

3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct
sunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal
objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and have it
serviced by an authorized marantz Service Center.

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this cause flaws on
the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly
recommended to use a trained,authorized Marantz dealer.

7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT
monitor, for example) light output will gradually decrease over
the life of a Plasma Display Panel.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor
burn-in

Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, SLIM SERIES PLASMA MONITOR can
be susceptible to phosphor burn under certain circumstances.
Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display
of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result
in phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To
protect your investment in this Marantz SLIM SERIES
PLASMA MONITOR, please adhere to the following
guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the
occurrence of image burn:

* Always enable and use your computer's screen saver func-

tion during use with a computer input source.
* Display a moving image whenever possible.
* Always power down the monitor when you are finished

using it.

If the SLIM SERIES PLASMA MONITOR is in long term
use or continuous operation take the following measures to
reduce the likelihood of phosphor burn:

* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as

possible without impairing image readability.
* Display an image with many colors and color gradations

(ie. photographic or photo-realistic images).
* Create image content with minimal contrast between light

and dark areas, for example white characters on black

backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color when-

ever possible.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,

sharply defined borders between colors.
Contact Marantz service center at 1-800-270-4533 for other

recommended procedures that will best suit your particular
application needs.

PDP Monitor burning characteristics

Regarding the subject titled, we hereby furnish you with the
following report:

1. Burning

The fluorescent substance used in the plasma module loses

its brightness with the lapse of lighting time.

This deterioration in brightness appears to be a difference

in brightness in relation to the surroundings, and comes to

be recognized as burning.

In other words, the burning is defined as follo ws: when the

same pattern (of the fixed display) is displayed for a long

time, a difference in brightness is caused around the lighting

area and non-lighting area due to deterioration in the

fluorescent substance. When the present pattern is changed

over to another one, the boundary comes to be seen between

the lighting area and non-lighting area due to difference in

brightness in the pattern shown shortly before changeover .

If this condition is accumulated, the boundary or burning

comes to be seen with the naked eyes.

2. Secular change in brightness

The life of brightness, defined as the reduction to half the

initial level, is more than10 thousand hours on a verage.

Conditions: All white (100% white) input at an ambient

temperature of 25°C.

However , this life time is not a guarantee v alue for life and

brightness. It should be recognized simply as the data for

reference.

3. Warranty period

Burning and faults in brightness and picture elements are

excluded from the warranty objects.

4. Cause of deterioration in brightness

A major possible cause of deterioration in brightness is

damage in the fluorescent substance due to impact caused

by ions generated at the time of plasma discharges.

5. Practical value for burning

The deterioration in brightness tends to be accelerated up

to 100 hours in the initial period. In the initial period, the

fixed display of patterns particularly tends to cause burning.

The practical value for burning is difficult to define in

concrete numerals. As described belo w , you are advised to

take proper measures to make the occurrence of burning

as slow as possible.

6. Proposed measures taken to r elie ve b ur ning

So long as there is the reduction of brightness in the

fluorescent substance, it is impossible to avoid the

occurrence of burning. Therefore, to relieve burning, we

offer you a method of entering an image input that may

ensure reluctance to the generation of the difference in

brightness reduction among the displayed dots.

The images from TV broadcasting involve a high rate of

motion picture displays.

Therefore, there is less chance of being a cause of difference
in brightness reduction among the cells. Even when the
fixed patterns are displayed, they generally last for a few
minutes. Since the same pattern is less liable to be displayed,
there is almost no influence toward burning.
If the fixed patterns tend to be displayed for a long time,
however , there occurs a substantial imbalance between the
lighting and non-lighting areas, thus causing a difference
in brightness as a result. In this paper, we offer you some
proposals of installation, paying attentions to the two points:
the reduction of difference in brightness achieved by
integrated lighting time leveling and the method of edge
smearing to make burning hard to be discerned.
The result from these proposals can, however, greatly
depend on the contents of images and the operating
environment. Therefore, we consider that it is essential to
take the suitable measures in consideration of the customer’ s
operating environment.

Example of Proposal 1: The display position is moved

while the fixed display pattern is
changed over , or it is scrolled during
the display .

Example of Proposal 2: If possible, a pattern of

complementary color is
incorporated (for integrated time
leveling).

Example of Proposal 3: The fixed pattern and the motion

picture display are reciprocally
exchanged, in order to minimize the
display period of the fixed pattern.

Example of Proposal 4: During operation, the brightness

of screen is suppressed as low as
possible. For the display patterns,
characters are indicated not on the
black ground (non-picture area) but
on the colored ground (mixture of
R, G, B recommended).

7. Proposed countermeasures f or the plasma module

Since the PDP is a display that uses a fluorescent substance
like the CRT , it is a fundamental phenomenon that b urning
occurs. Unlike the CRT , the PDP gi ves rise to deterioration
in the fluorescent substance due to impact caused by ions
generated during plasma display.
As a result of the above-mentioned improvements, it is
possible to extend the PDP lifetime and relieve the effect
of burning, but is impossible to realize the complete
elimination of burning so far as a fixed pattern is displayed
for a long time.

LCD REMOTE CONTROLLER RC2000MKII

• The remote control unit provided with the Plasma moni­tor is a “learning”-type, programmable unit capable of
controlling almost any component in your system, as well
as the Marantz D-BUS components (RC-5). The com­ponents to be controlled can be selected with ten but­tons.

OPERATION

The provided remote control unit (RC2000MKII) is a
system remote controller. The POWER button 5, 10-key
numeric buttons B and control buttons E are used in
common across different input source components.
The input source system controlled with the
RC2000MKII, such as receiver and AV amplifer changes
the input when one of the input selector buttons 9 is
pressed.
Example: To select the LD player as the input source for

receiver and play an LD on it
Press the LD button twice with in 2 seconds.
The input function of the receiver is switched

to LD and the RC2000MKII is set for control
of the LD player.

3 CLONE

The RC2000MKII has the ability to “replicate” itself,
downloading all of its internal pre-programmed and user­programmed commands to another RC2000MKII. This
button is used when you wish to “teach” another
RC2000MKII all of the customized commands you’ve
already programmed in this RC2000MKII.

4 POWER ON and OFF

These two buttons are used to turn the main compo­nent’s (amplif ier or recei ver) 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.

5 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 o wn
remote control turn-on and turn-off commands, such as
TV, laser disc player, VCR, etc.

6 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 PD4292D, 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.

7 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 RC2000MKII 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 10 function input selectors. Each DIRECT func­tion may also be provided with an alpha-numeric func­tion indicator visible in the LCD display. Y ou may ev en
change the displayed name of each function to another
name, if you wish.

8 PAGE

Used to select any 1 of the 4 pages of 8 functions for
each DIRECT button, as explained above.

9 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 activ ating the transport func­tion keys, so that you can now directly operate the laser
disc player from the RC2000MKII. 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 : Plasma Monitor PD4292D
VCR : Video cassette recorder
DSS/MD : Digital satellite decoder or mini disc player
AUX : Can be used for an auxiliary source com-

ponent

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

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 RC2000MKII will not send out a remote
control code to instruct the amplifier or receiver to
change to that corresponding input, but the
RC2000MKII 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 b ut­ton only once, the amplifier or r eceiver’ s input will not
switch to the CD input, however the RC2000MKII
keypad and DIRECT function commands for compact
disc operation will be activated.
We have pro vided 10 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/MD is a little different from
the others, in that when you press this button, the
RC2000MKII will send out a command to the amplifier
or receiver to switch to the DSS input, and then the

PD4292D-2 00.10.4, 3:10 PM6

RC2000MKII keypad and DIRECT function commands
will be configured for DSS (digital satellite system) con­trol. We have included DSS commands within the
RC2000MKII’s pre-programmed memory for RCA
brand DSS equipment. If you have another brand of
DSS, you can “teach” the RC2000MKII with the re­mote control codes of your equipment.

F 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,
PD4292D, DSS/satellite tuner, etc. These buttons are
also used for certain RC2000MKII programming func­tions.

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 helpful indicators.
The LCD window features back-lighting, making it easy
to view when the room ambient light is very low.

A 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.

B T en keypad

Like a telephone key pad, the ten number buttons (0-9)
are used to enter numeric digits, useful for finding a
specific track on a CD, or to tune a pre-set radio station,
etc.

C 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.

G MUTE

For those components (such as amplifier or recei ver, etc.)
with a mute function, this button can be used to mute
the sound temporarily.

H GUIDE

This button is intended for owners of DSS (digital sat­ellite system) or similar equipment, to activate the on­screen programming guide, used when changing chan­nels etc.

I OSD (On Screen Display)

Some components, such as an amplifier or receiver,
PD4292D, etc., feature on screen display for operation
and/or programming. The OSD button can be used to
activate the on screen display, or turn it off if desired.

J LIGHTING

Press this button to activ ate 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 re­program the RC2000MKII to shorten or lengthen the
amount of time the back-lighting is activated when this
button is pressed.

D CLEAR

This button is used to cancel certain memory or pro­gramming operations.

E 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
RC2000MKII 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
RC2000MKII function selector to VCR, and these ke ys
will then operate the VCR’s transport command func­tions, etc.

K Channel up(▲), down(▼)

Press this button to change the tuner , DSS or VCR pre­set channels to upward or downward.

L T ransmitter window

Infrared signals will emanate from behind this window .
Simply aim the RC2000MKII towards the component(s)
you wish to control. You may find that the RC2000MKII
works fine when placed on a coffee table pointing to­wards your A/V system components.

M Receiving window

Used when learning commands from other remotes, this
window is placed at the bottom of the RC2000MKII, 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 RC2000MKII buttons
can be “taught” new commands from other components.

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
minutes. 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.

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.

g LEARN indicator:

Visible when the RC2000MKII is set to LEARN mode.

h NAME indicator:

Visible when the RC2000MKII is in the learning mode,
and function naming is being changed.

i PAGE or MACRO indicator:

This indicator usually functions in association with the
P AGE button ,, but also functions as the MACRO indi­cator when tne MACRO button n is pressed.

j e indicator:

Visible when the RC2000MKII is set 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 RC2000MKII 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.

The RC2000MKII 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.

W e recommend that you use a quality brand of alkaline
batteries, for best results and longest life. Newly av ail­able lithium “ AA” batteries can even pro vide longer life
than alkaline batteries, and are also recommended.

e T ransmit 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.

RC2000MKII Basic Operation

USE Mode:

As supplied from the factory, the RC2000MKII 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 RC2000MKII is in another mode (LEARN, etc.), press the
operation mode button 1 with the tip of a paper clip, until the USE
indication appears.

2. Press one of the function buttons 9, 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 as well as changing the amplifier or
receiver’s input 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, P A GEs 1 through 4, up
to 32 different specialized commands are available for each FUNC­TION, up to a total of 320 specialized commands (32 direct com­mands times 10 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 RC2000MKII 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 8:

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 RC2000MKII 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 RC2000MKII right away . T ake
some time to become comfortable with the operation of the
RC2000MKII. W e think that its intuiti v e 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 RC2000MKII remote codes from other components
you may have in your system.

LEARN mode:

The RC2000MKII 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
RC2000MKII. If you have another brand of laser disc player, for exam­ple, you can program the RC2000MKII with its codes.
For example, we’ll show you how to “teach” the RC2000MKII 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 1. W ithin 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 infrared
sensor window of the RC2000MKII (at the bottom), about 5 cm (2
inches) apart.

3. Press the LD function button on the RC2000MKII.

4. Press the play button ⁄5 on the RC2000MKII.

5. Press and hold the corresponding play button on the laser disc play­er’s remote transmitter until the “OK” indicator appears in the
RC2000MKII LCD window (see Figure 2) or the beeps sounds emit
(if the beep sound function is set ).

If the “AGAIN” indicator appears in the RC2000MKII 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 RC2000MKII, “NG” (no good) will appear in the LCD window ,
meaning that the command is not “learnable”. The RC2000MKII
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 RC2000MKII the rest of the source trans­mitter’s transport function commands, such as stop, pause, ne xt, 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 RC2000MKII’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 RC2000MKII will revert back to the
previous (non-LEARN) operating mode (USE).

• 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 1 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 av ailable (see Figure 3).

Programming the DIRECT mode buttons 7:

The following example will show ho w 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 1 to switch the RC2000MKII to LEARN mode.

2. Place the laser disc player’s supplied infrared remote controller so
that its transmitter window is facing the infrared sensor window of
the RC2000MKII about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

3. Press the LD function button 9 on the RC2000MKII.

4. Using the direct function page keys § and © 8, set the direct func­tion to Page 1. Press the D-1 button 7 on the RC2000MKII.

PD4292D-2 00.10.4, 3:10 PM9

5. Press and hold the corresponding SIDE-A button on the laser disc
player’s remote transmitter until the “OK” indicator appears in the
RC2000MKII LCD window or beep sounds emit. The RC2000MKII
changes to the RENAME mode automatically as next step. A func­tion name of the DIRECT function button is blinked, 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 to referece.) If you need not to rename, press the OK
button and other button 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 P age 1,
press the page direction key © 8 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 1 with the tip of a paper clip and return
the RC2000MKII to the USE mode. Now, the newly memorized
codes are usable from the RC2000MKII.

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 1
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 9. In the LCD window , the f irst character of
the six function character display indicators starts blinking “ A”, which
is the first letter of the alphabet.

3. Choose the desired letter or number by pressing the 10 keypad but­tons B. Each 10 keypad button has 4 characters attached to it as
follows:

10 key pad button

Press, press again, press again, etc.

11 → A → B → C → 1 → ........etc.

22 → D → E → F → 2 → ........etc.

33 → G → H → I → 3 → ........etc.

44 → J → K → L → 4 → ........etc.

55 → M → N → O → 5 → ........etc.

66 → P → Q → R → 6 → ........etc.

77 → S → T → U → 7 → ........etc.

88 → V → W → X → 8 → ........etc.

99 → Y → Z → / → 9 → ........etc.

00 → + → — → SPACE → , → ’ → 0 ........etc.

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).

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 8, 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 re­named, if you wish, for each of the 10 main function selection buttons

9. You have up to 4 characters available for each direct function b utton
name.
After completing all re-writing of any of the names, press the OK button
within the cursor keys F, or switch to another function button (such as
CD). If, during re-naming, a button has not been pressed for 1 minutes,
the RC2000MKII 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 pen tip to press the operation MODE button 1, 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 RC2000MKII 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:

• Erasing by button(s)

• Erasing by DIRECT button(s)

• Erasing by function(s)

• 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
RC2000MKII 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 pro vided RC-5 code
will re-appear in its place.

4. Y ou use the cursor buttons § and © F to move to the next character
in the display. By pressing the right cursor b utton ©, 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 SP A CE character in its place (the SPACE character is ten
key pad 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 8, 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 re­writing process anew to re-name the VCR direct function commands.

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 find yourself pressing the same
combination of remote control buttons often.
The RC2000MKII features the ability to “learn” a sequence of infrared
commands, and “assign” that sequence to a single button, called a MACR O
button 6. 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 b utton could send out the follo wing
commands in this suggested sequence:

• 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 RC2000MKII is set to either
USE modes.
T o program a macro, f irst 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).

1. Press the MACRO 2 operation mode button with the tip of a paper

clip. Within the LCD windo w , the MA CR O indication appears, then
the LEARN indicator starts blinking (see Figure 8).

If a macro was previously programmed, one or more of the numeric
indicators at the bottom of the LCD window will appear with a box
around it.

2. Press macro button 1 6 to begin memorizing the various codes. In

the LCD display window the indicator “M1-00” appears in the status
line b (see Figure 9).

Figure 9

If you wish to finalize the complete erasure process, press the OK button
within the cursor keys F. 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.

• 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 RC2000MKII program­ming techniques, you may wish to continue “teaching” the
RC2000MKII remote control with any or all other commands for other
components in your system. When you feel you’v e transferred as many
different commands from other components into the RC2000MKII as
you’d like, and possibly changed some or all of their names as well,
then feel free to proceed to the next section.

• The all-clear operation takes about 15 seconds after the OK button is
pressed.

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 MACRO2 b utton 6 , and follow the abo ve 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 achie ve a specific home
theater operating result.

Note:

To memorize the cursor button F, press and hold the

LIGHTING button J 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 1, MACRO 2, CLONE 3, P A GE 8, V OLUME A, MEMOC,
CLEAR D and LIGHTING J.
T o check to see which MACRO buttons 6 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 MACR O b ut­ton number 1 has a macro assigned to it).

NAME

During the programming sequence, just remember that if you wish to
activate a specific input selector on your amplif ier or recei ver , mak e 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 RC2000MKII 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 RC2000MKII 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).

Note:

To AMP button is not include the above functions buttons.

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 9 keys. The programming steps are
similar to the steps outlined for programming a macro number button 6.
The following example shows how to program a macro under the LD
(laser disc) function selector 9:
(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 2 operation mode button with the tip of a paper
clip.

2. Press the LD function button 9.

3. Press the following buttons:
POWER ON, LD, AMP, direct function D-5 (PRO LOGIC selector)
in page 1, TV*, SOURCE ON, direct function D-4 (VIDEO input
selector) in page 1, LD*, SOURCE ON, and PLAY.

4. Press the MACRO 2 button with the tip of a paper clip. The
RC2000MKII will revert to the normal mode and save the macro
under the LD function button.

5. To execute the new macro sequence, press twice 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. T o 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 minutes,
the mode will automatically revert to the original mode (USE).
When you have completed the macro programming sequence, press the
MACRO 2 operation button with the the tip of a paper clip. The “END”
indication appears in the LCD display window. When you release the
MACRO button, all indications will revert to the initial 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 result in the amplifier or
receiver’s function selection to be inadvertently changed as well when
the macro is played back. The RC2000MKII has a special feature to
prevent this from occurring, allowing you to access the special commands
available under each RC2000MKII function button during a macro play­back sequence, while at the same time prevent the amplifier or receiver
from constantly switching its input source back and forth at the same
time.

Now, we’ll show you another macro programming example,
with a more sophisticated sequence:

(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 2 operation mode button with the tip of a paper
clip.

2. Press one of the MACRO buttons (1 through 4).

3. Press the following buttons:
POWER ON, LD, AMP, direct function D-2 (PRO LOGIC mode),
TV*, SOURCE ON, direct function D-4 (VIDEO input selector),
LD*, SOURCE ON, and PLAY.

4. Press the MACRO 2 button with the tip of a paper clip. The
RC2000MKII will revert to the normal mode.

5. To execute the new macro sequence, press the appropriate MA CRO
button (1 through 4) that you chose at the beginning of the above
programming sequence.

6. RC2000MKII will transmit the programmed code.

• Note that the function selector buttons TV and LD marked with

an asterisk (*) in this macro sequence do not actually send out
infrared codes, but simply change over the RC2000MKII’s pro-

grammed memory code banks for those respective functions.
If you would like to clear the MACRO programmed sequence(s), press
and hold the CLEAR D button and simultaneously press the appropriate
MACRO b utton (1 through 4) or function b utton. “M1-CLR?” (macro 1­clear?) appears in the LCD window. Release the buttons, and then press
the OK button (within the cursor control buttons), and the macro is erased.
If you do not wish to erase the macro, simply press any other button (but

Note that this sequence will operate a Marantz CD player (or any other
CD player equipped with the RC-5 remote control language). If you
have another brand of CD player, you may wish to check its owner’s

macro sequence needs to be adjusted according to the programming steps
required by your CD player.

Duplicating the memory contents of one RC2000MKII to another
RC2000MKII.
For a complete home theater system, with numerous components from
many different manufacturers, you may find that you ha ve stored dozens,
even hundreds of different codes, along with specialized names, macros,
etc. W e have pro vided a very quick and simple procedure that allows you
to download the entire customized memory contents of one RC2000MKII
remote control into another, fresh RC2000MKII.

13

PD4292D-2 00.10.4, 3:10 PM13

T o “clone” (duplicate) the memory contents of one RC2000MKII
into another RC2000MKII, please follow these steps:

1. Place the source RC2000MKII (the one with all of the customized
commands, names, macros, macro sequences, and the like) with its
infrared transmitter window L facing the infrared sensor M of an­other “fresh” RC2000MKII (5 cm, or 2 inches apart).

2. Press the CLONE button 3 of the source RC2000MKII with the tip
of a paper clip, and select “CLONE TX” (clone transmit) mode (see
Figure 20).

Figure 20

3. Press the CLONE button 3 of the learning (receiving) RC2000MKII
with the tip of a paper clip or a similar object, and select “CLONE
RX” (clone receive mode). Then press the PLAY button E.

Figure 21

4. Press the source RC2000MKII’s transport control PLAY E button
to begin the infrared data transmission sequence. If you wish to
duplicate only 1 to 8 function’s memory, press function button(s)
you wish before pressing the PLAY button. Now the “LEARN”
indicator starts to blink. (see Figure 23)

Figure 22 Figure 23

LEARN

After all bars are lit up on both displays, “TX OK” (transmission OK)
will appear in the source RC2000MKII’s LCD window, and “RX OK”
(reception OK) will appear in the “cloned” RC2000MKII’s LCD win­dow , confirming the end of the copying process (see Figures 24 and 25).

Figure 24 Figure 25

5. It the source RC2000MKII’s memory contents are at or near full
capacity, the copying process will tak e about 3 minutes. After com­pletion of the copying (cloning) process, press the CLONE button
3 on both RC2000MKII’s with the tip of a paper clip, and select the
OFF mode.
Then, you’ll have two identically programmed RC2000MKII 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” RC2000MKII that
you’ve safely tucked a w ay, and within minutes restore the program­ming contents of the original RC2000MKII with your customized
configuration.

Other Functions

The Marantz RC2000MKII includes the ability to tailor the light­ing features according to your preferences. As supplied from
the factory, the RC2000MKII has a lighting features (and light­ing timings):

1. 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 defeat the lighting function entirely.
There is also a lighting button J, so that in any light situations, 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 de-activate
the lighting function entirely.

RC-5 Shipped destination:

As mentioned earlier in this guide, the RC2000MKII 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). W e hav e provided two dif ferent RC-5 command
code sets in the RC2000MKII, 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 (US) users, while the
other code set is for REST users. Your RC2000MKII has been set at the
factory for US (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:

• Select the SETUP mode, by holding the MEMO button C and at the

same time press the OK button within the cursor keys ⁄6. (see Figures
26 and 27)

Please be sure that, during the copying process, neither RC2000MKII 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” RC2000MKII’ s
LCD display window will indicate “RX NG” (reception no good). Sim­ply begin the clone process anew by repeating the above steps.

Note:

The cloning is available between the same remote control
unit series only therefore the RC2000MKII cannot be cloned by
RC2000.

LAMP - Lighting function ON or OFF and TIME

Press the D-5 direct function button, and you can then set the time (in
seconds) directly using the numeric key pad B buttons. 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 (which would use up more
battery life than a lower figure, such as 3 or 5 seconds). “2” is set when
shipped from the factory. You can set “OFF” to input “0”.

BEEP sound

The beep sounds when press any buttons.
The beep sound level can be set to decrease or increase 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 the “+” indi­cation as the beep sound is increaded; + → ++ → +++ → ++++
When the “++++” is indicated and the D-6 button is pressed, the mininum
level “+” is set.
“ ” is indicated in LCD window when the beep sound is set.

Note:

The beep sound is different between the function b uttons and
other buttons.

VER

Press the D-7 direct function button to switch between US to REST.
If you need to change this function, we recommend that you make the
change before you begin “learning” any new infrared codes for other
brands of equipment in your system.

Note:

The name of the DIRECT button will be erased by changing
the VER(sion).

Battery life:

• 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.

• As explained earlier in the guide, the RC2000MKII’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 RC2000MKII use the non­volatile 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
RC2000MKII 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

• The LCD contrast can be adjusted as follows;
Set SETUP mode to the RC2000MKII by pressing the MEMO and
OK button. Press the VOL+ to increase the LCD contraset. Press the
VOL - to decrease the LCD contrast. Press the OK button to end this
setting and return the original operation.

Direct Command Functions Listing

Within the RC2000MKII LCD window, each of the 8 Direct Function
buttons has 4 character label 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.
Y ou can easily replace the f actory-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 10 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
RC2000MKII for your own particular selection of A/V components.

Receiving the remote control codes

The RC2000MKII 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 RC2000MKII may
also “learn” noise from fluorescent lights, etc. which can quickly
fill up the memory of the RC2000MKII.
In order to maximize the memory capacity of the RC2000MKII
please pay close attention to the following:

(1) Aim the transmitting remote control at a direct line of the

sight to the RC2000MKII remote receiver eye.

(2) Keep 2 inches between transmitting remote and the

RC2000MKII receiving eye.

Command 1

Command 1, along with command 2, is a number used to
distinguish each command.
In the case of ACK, when the lower order 4 bits is FH (as
in 3FH and 7FH), this indicates that the commands and
data of the supported equipment have been receiv ed. When
the lower order 4 bits is BH (as in 3BH and 7BH), this
indicates that unsupported commands and data have been
received.

2) Error Processing

• When the communication interval is vacant for more
than 4 ms, thereafter a received Command 1 will be
recognized. If, at this time, meaningful data cannot
be recognized, that data will not be recognized (as
valid data).

• An ACK will not be returned unless the receive data
error, the check sum error, and the receive data are
all taken in.

Communications Flow

Plasma monitor

External equipment
e.g., Personal computer

Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2

Unit ID 1 and unit ID 2 are numbers used to identify the
equipment that is to be connected.
60H is used for the plasma monitor and 80H is used for
external control equipment such as a personal computer.

1) Unit ID 1: Indicates the equipment sending the signal

2) Unit ID 2: Indicates the equipment receiving the signal

Command 2

Command 2, along with command 1, is a number used to
distinguish each command.

Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK

1) The check sum described below and RS-232C odd
parity are used together for a check of the received data.
The check sum is the lower order 8 bits of one frame of
sent or received data comprising the sum total of
Command 1, Unit ID 1 and 2, Command 2, Data
Length, and Data.

Running Sense

Running Sense

Running Sense

The plasma monitor regularly transmits a Running Sense
command at an interval of approximately 1 second.
(Running Sense command: 1FH 60H E0H 88H 00H E7H)
This command is used to recognize optional equipment.
The return of an A CK is not required when e xternal equip­ment such as a personal computer has been connected.
Note that destruction of this data is recommended when it
is taken in.

PD4292D-2 00.10.4, 3:11 PM50

When various commands are to be sent from external equip­ment such as a personal computer, the plasma monitor is
always receive enabled.
Note that when an ACK has not been returned from the
plasma monitor in 1.5 seconds, a resending of the com­mand is recommended.

Note: Pixel defect
Plasma is one of the most advanced technologies for con­sumer products. The panel is made by high pr ecision tec h­nology, however some pixel defects may be found on the
Plasma display panel. We are trying our best to control the
quality in order to r educe the number of defective pixels. It
is almost impossible to have zero pixel defects, even using
the most advanced technology. This is not a problem only
for Marantz, but all Plasma manufacturers. Therefore we
have to note that the warranty does not cover the Plasma
display panel for pixel defects. We appreciate your under­standing.

Before requesting service:

Please check your owner's manual before requesting serv­ice. Adjustments of the controls and hook up guidelines
discussed there may save you a service call.

To get warranty service:

Repair must be performed by an authorized service center.
If you do not know of a Marantz authorized Plasma Tel­evision service center, contact your dealer. If your dealer
is an authorized service center, they will arrange for repair .
If your dealer is not a Marantz authorized Plasma Televi­sion service center, they will direct you to an authorized
service center. You can also call 1-800-270-4533 for an
authorized Marantz service center in your area.
