• See Preset code list on page 38 for the components
and manufacturers available. You can only set these
codes for the button that is assigned to that
component. So, for example, the DVD codes can only
be set to the DVD button.
• The preset codes cover a wide variety of equipment,
however, there may be some models from a
particular manufacturer that do do not work with any
of the available codes.
• With some components, not all functions are
controllable by this remote.
• Refer to VCR / DVD / LD player and DVD recorder
controls on page 36 and Cable TV / satellite TV / digital
TV / TV controls on page 37 for detailed information
on the function of individual buttons.

Clearing preset codes

This restores all presets to the factory defaults. See
Using the remote control with other components on
page 34 for the default remote settings.
• Press RECEIVER and number button '0' (zero) at
the same time. Keep them pressed for about 3
seconds.
The LED on the remote control blinks three times
indicating all the preset codes have been cleared.

Remote Direct function

• Default setting: All inputs – ON
On the default setting, when you press an input select
button (DVD, DVR/TV, etc.), both the receiver input
source and the remote control change to the selected
function.
When an input select button is set to OFF, pressing that
button changes the function of the remote control only.
This can be useful when you want to operate one
component without interrupting playback of another.
When set to OFF, use the INPUT button to change the
input source of the receiver.
1 Press RECEIVER and number button '4' at the
same time.
2 Press the input select button you want to set the
remote direct mode for.
Select DVD, DVR/TV, FRONT, STB, or VIDEO. (You can't
select FM/AM).
3 Press '1' to set the remote direct mode to ON or
'2' to set to OFF.
4 Press RECEIVER to finish.
