This remote control can be used to operate home theatre system devices with a single remote control instead of the inconvenience of having to use several remote controls.

B Up to a maximum of 8 devices can be operated.

Up to a maximum of 8 devices (such as a projector, DVD player/recorder, video deck, TV and amplifier) can be operated. The selection buttons can be used to select a device in your home theatre system, and then you can operate the selected device using the remote control. At the time of purchase, the remote control is programmed with remote control signals for Panasonic products, so that such products can be operated with a single remote control.

B Home theatre systems not manufactured by Panasonic can also be

operated.

Remote control signals for many major home theatre system manufacturers including Panasonic have been recorded into the remote control. You can use the remote control to carry out remote control operations for the other devices simply by selecting the devices’ model and code.

B Remote control signals can be easily learnt

If no codes are available for the devices you are using, or if you would like to customise the functions that you use most frequently, you can use the remote control to learn functions. (The other device’s remote control is required in order to carry out learning operations.)

B Customised display of frequently-used functions on the LCD is possible

Function corresponding to the function buttons on the recorded devices can be displayed on the remote control’s LCD. Up to 3 characters (alphabetical, numeric and symbols) can be entered for each function button that has been learnt to create your own preferred name to be displayed for that function.

B You can make a macro to turn the power for selected devices on or off all

at once

You can turn the power on and off simultaneously for up to 8 devices by pressing down the system power button for 3 seconds or more.

B Backlight function

When you press the LIGHT button, the LCD and buttons illuminate so that you can operate the remote control comfortably even in dark places.

Note:

Do not use the remote control to operate any other equipment apart from your home theatre system.

Note:

It may not be possible to operate some devices using this remote control.
