Program the codes to the required buttons. LEARN Mode 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. 1 2 4 LEARN LEARN USE PAGE 1 12 12 6 (When OK) (failed) (codes are full) LEARN LEARN PAGE 12 PAGE 12 12 18 Page 18 03.10.6, 4:17 PM 1 Hold down the M button r for three seconds or more.

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. 7 8 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. 9 When you have finished programming the codes for each button, press the M button r. The USE 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. 19 Page 19 03.10.6, 4:17 PM ENGLISH 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. ENGLISH LEARN The M button r and > button y cannot be taught. Only each one code can be learned for the LIGHT buttons 1 and 2 !5, regardless of the source.
