Understanding the 2 way remote system
This remote operates under a 2 way remote system. With the two way remote system, the component responds to signals sent from the remote by sending additional signals (information about the status of the component, text data, etc.) back to the remote. Thus, operations are performed as a result of communication between the remote and the component.

When using a home entertainment system comprised of several components compatible with the 2 way remote system, please restrict 2 way remote system operation to a single component. Normally, turn off the 2 way remote system on all components except the receiver.
If you would like to turn off the receiver’s 2 way remote system, see “Setting up the 2 way remote” in the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
The COMMAND MODE
If the receiver’s COMMAND MODE and the remote’s COMMAND MODE do not match, transmission is not possible between the remote and the receiver. If you have not changed the COMMAND MODE of the remote and the receiver after purchase, it is not necessary to set the COMMAND MODE. For details, see page 21.
