A remote control is not supplied with the MAS3, yet the versatile programming modes of the MAS3 allows the MAS3 to work with virtually any remote control. The next section "Programming your Remote Control" on page 5, describes how to setup your remote controller. After your remote control is programmed the following describes the pre-programmed functions of the MAS3. There are 9 separate remote controlled commands understood by the MAS3. They are: · POWERTOGGLE.The MAS3 can be toggled from standby to power on, and back to standby using a single button of the remote. · SELECTIN1. Select input 1. If the MAS3 is in standby mode, it will power on and then select input 1. · SELECTIN2. Select input 2. If the MAS3 is in standby mode, it will power on and then select input 2. · SELECTIN3. Select input 3. If the MAS3 is in standby mode, it will power on and then select input 3. · POWEROFF. The MAS3 can be set to standby mode by pressing a single button of the remote. Once the MAS3 is in standby mode, further presses of the POWEROFF button will be ignored. This command is useful when using the "macro" feature of some programmable remote controls, and is used when it is unknown whether the MAS3 is already in standby mode or not. · POWERON. The MAS3 can be powered on from standby by pressing a single button of the remote. Once the MAS3 is power on, further presses of the POWERON button will be ignored. This command is useful when using remote controls that allow "macro" programming, where it is unknown whether the MAS3 is already power on or not. · SETDIMMODE. Toggles through three different bright/dim display modes. They are: Bright all the time. Dim all the time. Bright for 4 seconds after any keypress, and then automatically dim. · SELECT+. Select the next higher input. If input 3 is currently selected, then this command will cause input 1 to be selected. · SELECT-. Select the next lower input. If input 1 is currently selected, then this command will cause input 3 to be selected. POWER TV VCR CBL / SAT DVD RCVR 1 4 7 PIP 2 5 8 0 3 6 9 ENT VOL + _ + _ CH 4 Programming your Remote Control Setting up your Universal Remote Control For remote control operations, the MAS3 requires either a Universal Remote control to be programmed as one of eight pre-programmed devices, or alternatively, the MAS3 can be taught to use most existing remote controls. The simplest way begin using the MAS3, is to program your Universal Remote control to act like a Symphonic TV. Once this is done you will be able to immediately start using your MAS3. Check your remote's user manual for instructions on programming your remote control. The following table shows the Symphonic TV codes for a few different brands of Universal Remote Controllers: Make Sony One For All Sanyo GE / RCA X10 Zenith / Phillips / Magnavox Device TV TV TV TV TV TV Code 023 0476 303 046 062 552 5 Using Different Remote Codes Using Alternate Component Keys on your Remote The MAS3 will also respond to alternate component key codes. Allowing you to use an unused TV, VCR, RCVR or one of the added AUX positions many remotes include. Setting up the MAS3 to respond to alternate component codes is a two step process. You must first program your universal remote control to behave as one of the components in the following table. You must then teach the MAS3 to respond to the same set of alternate component codes. Programming your remote to different components The MAS3 will respond to eight different pre-programmed component codes, they are: Symphonic TV, Hatachi Satellite, Sony TV, Yamaha VCR, Go Video VCR, Awia DVD, Nakamichi Receiver and a Jerrold Cable Box. The following table shows the different component buttons and codes used to program a few different universal remotes.

If your remote is not included above list, or the manufacturer code given does not work, then you will have to follow your remote controls instructions for programming one of the above components and search for a proper match. See the next section. Or teach the MAS3 a new set of codes, See: "Learning New Remote Codes" on page 8. Teaching the MAS3 a new component code After your remote control has been programmed to act like one of the 8 built in code-sets, teaching the MAS3 to use the new code set is simple. 6 STEP 1 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 1 Place the MAS3 in standby mode. This is the factory default mode on power up, and if it has not been changed, you can unplug the MAS3 and plug it back in and it will power up in standby mode (at this point only the power indicator light is lit and glowing RED). If the MAS3 does not power up in standby mode, follow the steps given in "Restoring the MAS3 to Factory Defaults" on page 13. 2 On your remote control press the buttons in the following sequence, after each button press verify that the remote IR indicator flashes. (If you make a mistake, you can start over by pressing POWER twice.): · POWER · CHANNEL + · POWER · CHANNEL 3 The MAS3 will power up indicating the new component codes have been accepted. STEP 2 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 STEP 3 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 Searching for a component code in your remote Assuming you do not have a remote listed in this user manual you will have to follow your remote controls programming sequences to find a compatible component that the MAS3 understands, or you can go to the section "Learning New Remote Codes" on page 8, to teach the MAS3 new keys for individual commands. To search for compatible component codes you must place the MAS3 in standby mode and try manufacturer codes in your remote control until one of them causes the MAS3's IR indicator LED to flash. STEP 1 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 1 Place the MAS3 in standby mode. This is the factory default mode on power up, and if it has not been changed, you can unplug the MAS3 and plug it back in and it will power up in standby mode (at this point only the power indicator light is lit and glowing RED). If the MAS3 does not power up in standby mode, follow the steps given in "Restoring the MAS3 to Factory Defaults" on page 13. 2 Try different manufacturer codes until one of them causes the IR indicator light on the MAS3 to blink when pressing the POWERTOGGLE key. When found, go to back to "Teaching the MAS3 a new component code" on page 6, to teach the MAS3 to use the new component code. STEP 2 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 7 Learning New Remote Codes Teaching the MAS3 to use new remote control keys If your remote does not have one of the pre-programmed component codes, or you simply want to re-map the MAS3 functions to other keys on your remote, the MAS3 can be taught to use new keys. To teach the MAS3 to respond to new keys, you need to have the remote control(s) you want to use ready, and setup in the manner you want it to be used. STEP 1 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 1 Place the MAS3 in standby mode. This is the factory default mode on power up, and if it has not been changed, you can unplug the MAS3 and plug it back in and it will power up in standby mode (at this point only the power indicator light is lit and glowing RED). If the MAS3 does not power up in standby mode, follow the steps given in "Restoring the MAS3 to Factory Defaults" on page 13. 2 Using a pen or pencil, press and HOLD the SETUP button on the back panel of the MAS3 (located near the power jack) for around 4 seconds, until the MAS3 powers up, and the Power indicator on the front panel of the MAS3 will turn GREEN and begin to blink RED. The MAS3 is now ready to accept new remote control key codes. For each of the following steps: STEP 2 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 ZEKTOR 1 2 3 · You may press a key on your Remote Control, if accepted, the IR indicator light will blink, and the key will be learned as the new key for the given function. The MAS3 will advance to the next step. · Or you may press and release the SETUP key on the back panel of the MAS3, this indicates to the MAS3 to skip this key, and the whatever key was previously programmed for that function will be retained. The MAS3 will advance to the next key. · Or you may press and hold the SETUP key on the back panel until the MAS3 returns to standby mode. This will end learn mode, all keys already programmed will be remembered, and all the keys skipped will retain their previously programmed values.
