INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Marantz RC2000 Mk w
learning remote control. We developed this remarkable
component so that you can easily control an entire A/V
system, with many more features than are typically offered
with other learning remote controls.
Conventional remote controls that are usually supplied with
audio and video components are often difficult to use, and
may be designed with many small buttons identically sized
and positioned too close together. Button labels are often
not very legible, especially in low light (home theater)
settings.
Today, a typical home theater system might include a
number of components, such as audio amplifier, CD player,
tape deck, TV, VCR, a laser disc player, AM/FM radio tuner,
satellite receiver, and others. Usually, the remote that is
supplied with a central component, such as the amplifier or
the TV set, has sufficient capacity to operate its own unit,
but may be difficult and/or cumbersome to use for
controlling the entire A/V system.
The Marantz RC2000 Mk w is designed to take the place of
all of your existing remotes. Now you have one easy to use
remote to control your entire A/V system, and you can
customize the RC2000 Mk w with your favorite command
functions, regardless of the brands and models of the
various components in your system.
For ease of use, the RC2000 Mk w features button
"groups", logically placed to eliminate "hunting" around the
keypad to find a particular button. With only 58 buttons, the
RC2000 Mk w can actually provide over 400 different
infrared commands, enough to control virtually any fully
equipped home theater system.
For home theater viewing in darkened rooms, the RC2000
Mk w features a backlit keypad and backlit liquid crystal
display (LCD) window, with automatic features to prevent
battery exhaustion and to preserve the memory contents.
At the heart of the RC2000 Mk w is a sophisticated
microprocessor which has the ability to "learn" remote
codes from a variety of A/V components, and can even be
"taught" to send a "string" of remote codes in a specific
sequence at the touch of a button.
The ergonomically designed RC2000 Mk w provides
buttons of different size and shape, with many buttons able
to output different commands, depending on the source
selected. The large, clear LCD window features
alphanumeric display of functions in easy to read text, and
the backlighting feature means that you'll easily and quickly
find the right button even when the room is dark.
