REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The following information should be used in place of

the similar pages in the manual that accompanies your

VR. In addition to adding an explanation for the

LEARN Button , which is not on the original

remote, it also adds information about the controls that

are used to operate the DVD player. When buttons

ser

ve a function for both the DVD player and the AVR,

the complete description of how the button operates

with the DVD player is found on page 9 of the owner’s

manual included in the DVD player carton.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The RCP 2 may be programmed

to control up to eight devices, including

the AVR and

DVD

. Before using the remote, it is important to

remem

ber to press the

Input Selector Button e that cor-

responds to the unit you wish to operate. The RCP 2 is

also capable of operating a wide variety of other prod-

ucts using the control codes that are part of the

remote. Before using the RCP 2 with other products,

follow the instructions on pages 7–23 to program the

proper codes for the products in your system.

It is also important to remember that many of the but-

tons on the RCP 2 take on different functions, depend-

ing on the product selected using the Device Control

Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail

the functions of the RCP 2 when it is used to operate

the AVR and DVD player that comes with your CP

Series System. (See page 10 for information about

alternate functions for the RCP 2’s buttons.)

Before using the remote, remember to install the three

supplied AAA batteries in the compartment on the bot-

tom of the RCP 2, as shown in the diagram below. Be

certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that

are printed on the bottom of the battery compartment.

that it controls the device selected. After pressing one

of these buttons you must press the

this setting is temporary, in that regardless of any

changes,

the display will always return to full brightness

tings or select surround modes. When changing a set-

ting on the AVR, first press the button for the function

or setting to be changed (e.g., press the

DSP

Surround Mode Selector

k to select a sound

field mode or the

Digital Select Button q to

change a digital input) and then press one of these

buttons to scroll through the list of options or to

increase or decrease a setting. The sections in the

AVR manual describing the individual features and

functions contain specific information on using these
