BASIC OPERATION

USE MODE

(Normal operation status)

This remote control is preset with a total of 12 types of remote codes, including Marantz TV (television), DVD, VCR (VCR deck), DSS (satellite broadcasting tuner), TUNER, CD, CD-R, MD, TAPE (tape deck), AUX1, AUX2, and AMP (amplifier). Learning is not necessary for Marantz products. You can use these products without setting any codes.

Press the SOURCE button.

For this example, press DVD. DVD is shown on the LCD, and the remote control is set for DVD. Pressing the source button once changes the remote control to the settings for the source that was pressed. To change the amplifier or other source, press the SOURCE button twice (double-click). The code is sent, and then the amplifier source changes to DVD.

Press the buttons to operate the DVD.

The indicator is shown on the LCD while the remote control codes are being transmitted. It is not displayed when buttons without stored code are pressed.

The direct buttons can be used to perform up to 20 operations for each of the 12 sources, including DVD, TV, AMP, and other AV equipment.

The buttons consist of the D1 to D5 buttons, and the equipment is operated by pressing the buttons corresponding to the indicators on the LCD. Four pages are available, and press the > button to select a page. The current page position is displayed on the LCD.

PRESET MODE

(When operating non-Marantz AV equipment products)

This remote control is preset with remote control codes from AV equipment by other manufacturers. The preset codes are TV, VCR, LD, CABLE, DSS, DVD, TAPE, TUNER, CD, CD-R, MD and AMP. Settings can be made in one of two ways. When the preset codes are set, the following codes are contained in the source button of the remote control.

See the attached manufacturer number list for the preset manufacturers, devices, preset numbers, and other settings.

Programming the (PLAY) and Other Control Buttons and Numeric Buttons

This remote control is capable of learning and storing codes used by other remote controls that you already own. For codes which are not learned, the remote control will transmit either the Marantz preset codes from the initial settings, or remote codes from another manufacturer’s AV equipment which is set by the customer. The receiver sensor for the remote control signals is located at the top of the remote control.

This example shows how to learn the codes from the remote control of a DVD player.

The M button and > button cannot be taught. Only each one code can be learned for the LIGHT buttons 1 and 2, regardless of the source.

Press and hold down the (PLAY) button of the transmitting DVD remote control, and check that OK is displayed on the LCD.

The remote control has finished learning when OK is displayed on the LCD. If ERROR is displayed on the LCD, some error has prevented the command from being learned. If this happens, repeat the procedure for steps 4 and 5. In some rare cases, ERROR may be displayed repeatedly during the learning operation. In this case, the transmitting remote control may have special signal codes. These codes cannot be learned by this remote control.

Follow the same procedure to make the remote control learn the other buttons.

Repeat the procedure in steps 3 to 6 to have the remote control learn the signal codes from a TV, CD player, or other AV equipment.

• When no buttons are pressed for approximately one minute during the learning operation, the remote control automatically returns to USE mode.

• When programming the source buttons, switch to the source in step 3, and then press the source button again.

When you have finished programming the codes for each button, press the M button.

The

indicator is displayed on the LCD, and the

newly stored codes can be used.

• If FULL is displayed on the LCD, the memory cannot hold any more learned codes in LEARN mode.

If FULL is displayed no matter how many times you try the learning operation, the remote control cannot accept any more new codes until some of the previously learned codes are deleted from the memory. Delete some of the learned buttons from the sources.
