⁄6 CURSOR buttons
Some components feature menus that are navigated with up, down,
left and right direction commands. The cursor buttons can be used to
navigate within on-screen menus, for components such as amplifier
or receiver, TV set, DSS/satellite tuner, etc. These buttons are also
used for certain RC-18SR programming functions.
⁄7 MUTE
For those components (such as amplifier or receiver, TV, etc.) with a
mute function, this button can be used to mute the sound temporarily.
⁄8 GUIDE
This button is intended for owners of DSS (digital satellite system) or
similar equipment, to activate the on-screen programming guide,
used when changing channels, etc.
⁄9 LIGHTING
Press this button to activate the back-lit LCD screen and back-lit keys
independently SETUP mode. A quick touch is all that is necessary.
The back-lighting will remain on for 3 seconds. If you wish, you can
even re-program the RC-18SR to shorten or lengthen the amount of
time the back-lighting is activated when this button is pressed.
¤0 Channel up( ), down( )
Press this button to change the tuner, TV, DSS or VCR preset
channels to upward or downward.
¤1 Transmitter window
Infrared signals will eminate from behind this window. Simply aim the
RC-18SR towards the component(s) you wish to control. You may
find that the RC-18SR works fine when placed on a coffee table
pointing towards your A/V system components.
¤2 Receiving window
Used when learning commands from other remotes, this window is
placed at the bottom of the RC-18SR, so that the two remotes are
vertically oriented for easy transfer of remote control information.
Later in this guide we will show you which of the RC-18SR buttons can
be “taught” new commands from other components.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) WINDOW
Within this display, all operating messages (function name, mode
names, etc.) are shown. When a particular button is pressed (such
as a transport command, like PLAY), its status will be shown in the
display for 1 minute. The display will continue to show the source
function selected continuously, however.
a Function indication:
The selected source function is displayed, such as LD, TV, etc., up to
6 characters maximum.
b Status indication:
The selected status of the present page, or other items, is displayed,
up to 9 characters maximum.
c Direct commands:
8 DIRECT commands are available in 1 page, up to 4 characters
maximum.
d Battery indicator:
When the batteries are running low, this indicator will become visible.
At this point, it will not be possible to learn any new remote codes, but
normal remote control operation is still provided (including the use of
any previously learned codes). At this point, you should consider
changing the batteries soon. As time goes on, and the battery power
diminishes further, this indicator will begin blinking. At this point, no
remote commands will be transmitted. This is your signal to replace
the batteries with fresh ones as soon as possible. Eventually, if you
ignore the blinking battery indicator and do not install fresh batteries,
then the batteries may eventually be totally exhausted, and the LCD
display window will be completely blank. However, any previously
learned commands and macros will not be erased from the
microprocessor’s memory.
The RC-18SR is supplied with a full set of RC-5 remote control codes
in permanent (non-volatile) memory. Even if the batteries are fully
exhausted, the RC-5 codes (used for Marantz A/V components) and
learned codes will never disappear.
We recommend that you use a quality brand of alkaline batteries, for
best results and longest life. Newly available lithium “AA” batteries
can even provide longer life than alkaline batteries, and are also
recommended.
e Transmit indicator:
When a button is pressed, this indicator shows that an infrared code
is being transmitted.
f USE indicator:
For normal operation, the USE indicator should be visible.
g LEARN indicator:
Visible when the RC-18SR is set to LEARN mode.
h NAME indicator:
Visible when the RC-18SR is in the learning mode, and function
naming is being changed.
i PAGE or MACRO indicator:
This indicator usually functions in association with a PAGE button ,,
but also functions as the MACRO indicator when a MACRO button n
is pressed.
j indicator:
Visible when the RC-18SR is set to the beep function.
Installing the batteries:
The battery compartment is located on the rear panel. Please use
only alkaline or lithium batteries, “AA” size. The RC-18SR requires
four AA batteries. There are markings in the battery compartment to
show you the proper battery orientation. If after installing the
batteries, you cannot see any indication in the LCD window when a
button is pressed, re-check to ensure that the batteries are properly
positioned in the compartment.
