USING FUNCTIONS OF REMOTE

Entering a setup code

• This remote control can control up to 8 different components.

• Before operating audio and video components other than this receiver with using this remote control, the setup code for each component should be entered.

• For system remote control operation, “000” was stored previously in the memory of the device button “CD” for Sherwood CD player, “DVD” for Sherwood DVD player and “AUX” for Sherwood tape deck respectively as its factory setup code. So, you don’t need to enter its code for each Sherwood component except in such a case that its code does not work.

Find the setup codes according to the type and the brand name of your component, referring to “Setup Code Table” on page 37.

Turn on the component you want to control

Enter a 3 digit code, aiming the remote control at the remote sensor on the component. Example) When entering “001”.

• The LED will flicker once.

Note:

• The AUDIO button is unavailable for the audio components other than this receiver.

• If entering is performed successfully, the LED will flicker twice.

• To be sure that the setup code is correct, press the POWER(or STANDBY) button.

If your component is tuned off, the setup code is correct.

• When your component is not turned off, repeat the above steps 2 to 4, trying each code for your component until you find one that works.

Notes:

• If the LED did not flicker twice, then repeat the above steps 3 to 4 and try entering the same code again.

• Manufacturers may use different setup codes for the same product category. For that reason, it is important that you check to see if the code you have entered operates as many controls as possible. If only a few functions operate, check to see if another code will work with more buttons.

• When operating a Sherwood CD player or tape deck using the system remote control, aim the remote control at the REMOTE SENSOR on this receiver.

However, in case of Sherwood DVD player and MD recorder, aim it at the REMOTE SENSOR on the corresponding component.

Press and hold down both the ENTER button and the DEVICE button you want for more than 1 second.

Repeat the above steps 1 to 4 for each of your components.

Operating a macro function

Notes:

• The codes programmed into a MACRO button will be transmitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some components may not be able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code.

In this case, the macro function cannot control the corresponding components correctly.

• Be sure to use the remote control within the remote control operation range of the components.

• Depending on the operation status of the components, etc., the macro function cannot control the corresponding components correctly.

• Aim the remote control at the REMOTE SENSORs of the components to be controlled and press the MACRO button you want.

Example) When pressing “M1” button.

• If the macro mode is entered, the LED will flicker once.
