separate set of codes for the remote zone that you can access in the Zone "page".

zone can be controlled. The main zone remains unaffected until the AVC button is pressed

again

4. When the remote zone has been activated by pressing the On button, the Active LED

will illuminate. When remote zone commands are issued, the Zone LED illuminates for

about five seconds, indicating that you can make adjustments to the remote zone while

the LED is on.

From the Remote Zone

1. In order to control the AVC-1800 from the remote zone, you must first install an infrared

transmission system such as a Xantech. This includes installing a receiving eye in the

remote zone and connecting a 1/8" mini jack into the Zone External Remote input on the

rear panel of the AVC-1800.

2. Press the Zone button to control the remote zone from the remote control. There is a

separate set of codes for the remote zone that you can access in the Zone "page".

3. While controlling the AVC-1800 from the Zone page, the On button controls both On

and Off for the remote zone. However, the Volume buttons, Mute button, and the Input

Selector buttons operate in the same way as in the main zone.

4. The AVC-1800 has only one tuner section. Therefore, if you select a station or station

preset from the remote Zone, it will also change the station in the main Zone.

5. When the remote zone has been activated by pressing the On button, the Active LED

will illuminate. When remote zone commands are issued, the front panel Zone LED

illuminates for about five seconds indicating the remote zone is being controlled.

6. Five seconds after making your adjustments to the remote zone, the AVC-1800 front

panel and on-screen displays revert to main zone indication.

Your AVC-1800 requires no periodic maintenance and has no user serviceable parts inside.

To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover. Clean the chassis with a soft

cloth moistened only with window cleaner or clear water. Never use solvents or abrasives.

Call your Parasound dealer who should be able to suggest simple diagnostic tests you can

easily perform. If you determine that your AVC-1800 should be serviced, Contact Parasound

or an Authorized Parasound Warranty Center for inspection and possible servicing.

Returning your AVC-1800 to Parasound for Service (USA Only)

If we determine that you should send your AVC-1800 to Parasound, you will need to obtain

a Return Authorization (RA) number. The RA number must be clearly marked on the outer

carton only. Ship the unit with adequate insurance and a copy of your purchase receipt

inside to validate your warranty. Warranty repairs will only be performed by Parasound or

authorized warranty centers on sets where your purchase receipt is from an Authorized

Parasound Dealer or Parasound Reseller. Units purchased from unauthorized dealers are

not eligible for warranty repair. Units that arrive without an RA number, without a suitable

shipping carton or with evidence of improper internal packing materials may be refused. We

do not accept collect shipments. After repair under warranty, the unit will be returned to you

via prepaid UPS within the Continental United States. In the case of a non-warranty repair,

same packing and Return Authorization number requirements apply.
