Configuration Is Write Protected; Changing Scroll Arrow And Home Icon Artwork - Marantz RC5000 Manual

Configuration is Write Protected

This box should be kept UNCHECKED until all programming is complete.The RC5000 learns
IR codes much more effectively stand alone than linked through Windows. If you check the
Configuration is Write Protected checkbox, you cannot do any programming with the remote
control itself.The Mode button will not even appear in the Setup panels! The only way you can
change anything will be on a PC with RC5000 Setup.This is known as the "Attempted Block to
12 year-olds" feature (attempted because all 12 year-olds seem to use PC's better than we do).

Changing Scroll Arrow and Home Icon Artwork

These tabs enable you to load your own Home icon and/or up and down scroll arrows. Before
loading a new Home icon, you must use a graphics program to create a 40 x 24 pixel bitmap.
Before loading new scroll arrows, you must use a graphics program to create four new icons.
Each icon must be 39 x 24 pixels.The four states you need for scroll arrow icons are:
1) Up Arrow Unselected — This icon is what you will see before
you touch the arrow. Once you touch the arrow (Select it), the
icon displayed will change to the Selected version, immediately
before scrolling up to the next panel.
2) Up Arrow Selected — This icon is the one displayed for the
brief moment before the panel scrolls. Should you elect to save
memory, you can load the same icon you used for selected as
the Unselected icon. After all, the panel scrolling provides pretty
good feedback.
3) Down Arrow Unselected — Identical to Up Arrow Unselected
except that the scroll direction is reversed.
4) Down Arrow Selected — Identical to Up Arrow Selected except
that the scroll direction is reversed.
To change your home icon or scroll arrow icons, follow these steps.
1) Press the Load button for the Icon you want to change.
A standard Windows navigational file finding window appears.
2) Navigate to the .bmp file you want. If the icon does not load, reopen the .bmp file in your
graphics program and check that it is both the correct size and that it has fewer than 256
colors (this is also called "8 bit color"). RC5000 Setup can convert a 256 color graphic into a
4 color graphic, but not one with thousands of colors.Typically, you can convert a bitmap
graphic with thousands or millions of colors to a 256 color by using the graphics program
Save As command.
3) Click on the OK button when finished. Preview your results in the emulator under the Tools
menu.
