Operating A Device - Marantz RC5000i User Manual

Operating a Device

You operate devices using two kinds of buttons:
Touchscreen buttons
Direct-access buttons (to the right of the touchscreen)
Using Touchscreen Buttons
Sending commands
By tapping the touchscreen buttons, you send commands to the
device you have selected. When you send a command, the
RC5000i icon changes to show that it is transmitting signals.
The name of the device you are controlling is always displayed on
the device menu tab.
Using the Direct-Access Buttons
Mute, Channel and Volume can be operated at any time, even
without turning on the touchscreen. These buttons can be
programmed to always do the same thing regardless of the panel
displayed, or they can change their function depending on which
device is active. For example:
Since Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute are typically
receiver/preamp commands in most home theaters, these direct
access buttons have been pre-programmed to always operate a
Marantz receiver/preamp. Should you own another brand, see the
programming instructions on page 31-32. Channel Up and Channel
Down are typically programmed to change with the device selected.
So when you are operating your DVD player, you use them to
change Chapters. Likewise, when you are using the TV control
panels, they change channels.
