1. Introduction
The Remote Control is preprogrammed to work with all
equipment that recognizes RC-5 and RC-6 infrared codes.
This includes all Philips and Marantz devices and several
devices made by other manufacturers.

to extend its functionality in multiple ways like programming
additional functions, adding supplementary devices, recording
macros and customizing the interface as it suits you best.
Working with Modes
When you operate your devices, the Remote Control is in Use mode. For actions
other than operating (like programming buttons, recording macro’s, adding devices,
and so on) you have to switch to the appropriate mode:
For operating devices.
For learning commands from other devices.
For recording macros and setting timers.
For labeling buttons and commands.
For adding new devices.
For deleting buttons, devices and macros.
For changing the order in a menu.
