The RCP 3 remote is capable of controlling seven devices, including
the AVR 144 and the DVD 27 included in the CP 40 system. During the
installation process, you may program the codes for each of your source
components into the remote. Each time you wish to use the codes for
any component, first press the Selector button for that component. This
changes the button functions to the appropriate codes for that product.
Each Input Selector has been preprogrammed to control certain types
of components, with only the codes specific to each brand and model
changing, depending on which product code is programmed. The
device types programmed into each selector may not be changed.
DVD: Controls DVD players and recorders. The DVD button functions
are labeled in blue on the remote.
CD: Controls CD players and recorders.
Tape: Controls cassette decks.
Video 1: Controls VCRs, TiVo
®
and DVRs.
Video 2: Controls cable and satellite television set-top boxes.
Video 3: Controls televisions and other video displays.
For example, if you have inserted a disc in your CD player and you
would like to skip ahead three tracks, but you then find that the volume
is too loud, you would follow this procedure:
1. Press the CD Input Selector to switch to the codes that control your
CD player.
2. Press the Play Button (in the Transport Controls section) if the disc
is not already playing.
3. Press the Skip Up Button three times to advance three tracks.
4. Press the AVR Button so that you can access the Volume Controls.
5. Press the Volume Down Button until the volume level is satisfactory.
Any given button may have different functions, depending on which
component is being controlled. The buttons are labeled with some of
these functions, with the receiver’s functions shown in white or gray, and
the DVD player’s functions shown in blue. For example, the Sleep and
DSP Surround Buttons are labeled for use as Channel Up/Down Buttons
when controlling a television or cable box. See Table A1 in the appendix
for listings of the different functions for each type of component.
NOTE: Although we have described the applicable DVD function
in this section, we strongly recommend that you review the
DVD 27 manual for more information about using these functions.
IR Transmitter Lens: As buttons are pressed on the remote,
infrared codes are emitted through this lens. Make sure it is pointing
toward the component being operated.
EzSet
®
Microphone: This microphone “hears” the test tone used
during the EzSet level-setting procedure. Make sure it is pointing toward
the receiver when running EzSet.
Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the AVR or another
device. The Master Power Switch on the AVR 144’s front panel must be
switched on first.
Mute Button: Press this button to mute the AVR 144’s speaker and
headphones outputs temporarily.To end the muting, press this button
or adjust the volume. Muting is also canceled when the receiver is
turned off.
Program/EzSet Indicator: This LED lights up or flashes in one of
three colors as the remote is programmed with codes, and during the EzSet
procedure.
Power Off Button: Press this button to turn off the AVR 144 or
another device.
AVR Selector: Press this button to switch the remote to the codes
that operate the receiver.
Input Selectors: Press one of these buttons to select a source
device, which is a component where a playback signal originates, e.g.,
DVD, CD, cable TV, satellite or HDTV tuner. This will also turn on the
receiver (if it is not already on) and switch the remote to the codes
that operate the source device.
AM/FM Button: Press this button to select the tuner as the source,
or to switch between the AM and FM bands.
6-Channel Input Selector: Press this button to select the
6-Channel Inputs as the audio source. The receiver will use the video
input and remote control codes for the last-selected video source.
EzSet (SPL) Button: Press this button to run the EzSet output-level
calibration procedure. Make sure to point the remote toward the receiver
during EzSet.
Test Tone: Press this button to activate the test tone for manual
output-level calibration.
TV/Video/Video Off: This button has no effect on the receiver,
but is used to switch video inputs on some video source components.
When the DVD player has been selected (by pressing the DVD Input
Selector), pressing this button disables the DVD 27’s video output to
avoid “burning in” menus or still-images on sensitive video displays.This
feature is particularly useful when listening to CDs or other audio-only
presentations.
Sleep/Audio Button: Press this button to activate the sleep timer,
which shuts off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up
to 90 minutes.
When the DVD player has been selected, this button may be used to
select another audio format or language, if one is available on the disc.
Volume Controls: Press these buttons to raise or lower the volume,
which will be shown in decibels (dB) in the Message Display.
