REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The JBL Cinema ProPack 600 is equipped with a
powerful remote control that will control the
functions of not only the DCR600 receiver and
DVD600 DVD changer, but also most popular
brands of audio and video equipment, including
CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes,
VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theater
equipment. Once the remote is programmed
with the codes for the products you own, it is
possible to eliminate most other remotes and
replace them with the convenience of a single,
universal remote control.
Programming the Remote
As shipped from the factory, the remote is fully
programmed for all DCR600, DVD600 and
JBL BassQ™digital bass correction functions. In
addition, by following one of the methods below,
you may program the remote to operate a wide
range of devices from other manufacturers.
We suggest that you refrain from reprogramming
the main, DVD and VID 4 functions. Should you
reprogram them inadvertently, you may reprogram
each of these buttons individually to code 001 to
reset it without disturbing other functions pro-
grammed into the remote.
Entering Product Codes
This method is the easiest way to program your
remote to work with different products.
1. Use the tables on pages 27 to 36 to determine
the three-digit code or codes that match both
the product type (e.g., VCR, TV) and the
specific brand name. If there is more than one
number for a brand, make note of the differ-
ent choices.
2. Turn on the unit you wish to program into the
remote.
3. Press and hold both the Input Selector
i–nfor the product you wish to control
(e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute Button cat
the same time. When the Program
Indicator lights and begins flashing, release
the buttons. The light under the Input
Selector key will appear. It is important that
you begin the next step within 20 seconds.
4. Point the remote towards the unit to be
programmed, and enter the first three-digit
code number using the Numeric Keys
–,. If the unit turns off, the
correct code has been entered. Press the Input
Selector i–nagain, and note that the
red light will flash three times before going dark
to confirm the entry.
5. If the device to be programmed in does NOT
turn off, continue to enter three-digit code
numbers until the equipment turns off. At this
point, the correct code has been entered.
Press the Input Selector i–nagain
and note that the red light under the Input
Selector will flash three times before going
dark to confirm the entry.
6. Try all of the functions on the remote to make
certain that the product operates properly.
Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a
number of different combinations of codes, so
it is a good idea to make certain that not only
the power control, but the volume, channel
and transport controls work as they should. If
all functions do not work properly, you may
need to use a different remote code.
7. If a code cannot be entered to turn the unit
off, if the code for your product does not
appear in the tables in this manual, or if not
all functions operate properly, try program-
ming the remote with the Auto Search
Method.
Auto-Searching for Product Codes
If the unit you wish to include in the remote is
not listed in the code tables in this manual or if
the code does not seem to operate properly, you
may wish to program the correct code using the
Auto Search method that follows:
1. Turn on the unit that you wish to include in
the remote.
2. Press the Input Selector i–nfor the
type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV)
and the Mute Button cat the same time.
Hold both buttons until the red light under the
Input Selector i–nstays lit. Note
that the next step must take place while
the red light is on, and it must begin within
20 seconds after the light appears.
3. Point the remote towards the unit to be
programmed, and press either the
⁄
or
¤
Button y. Each press will send out a
series of codes from the remote’s built-in data-
base. When the unit being programmed turns
off, release the
⁄
or
¤
Button y, as
that is your indication that the correct code
is in use.
4. Press the Input Selector i–n, and note
that the red light under the Input Selector will
flash three times before going dark to confirm
the entry.
5. Try all of the functions on the remote to make
certain that the product operates. Keep in
mind that many manufacturers use a number
of different combinations of codes, and it is a
good idea to make certain that not only the
power control works, but also that the
volume, channel and transport controls
operate, as appropriate. If all functions do not
work properly, you may need to Auto-Search
for a different code, or enter a code via the
Direct Code Entry method.
Reading Back the
Programmed Code
When the code has been entered using the Auto
Search method, it is always a good idea to find
out the exact code so that it may be easily reen-
tered if necessary. You may also read the codes
to verify which device has been programmed to
a specific Control Selector button.
1. Press and hold both the Input Selector
i–nfor the device for which you wish
to find the code and the Mute Button c
at the same time. Note that the Program
Indicator will light. Release the buttons and
begin the next step within 20 seconds.
2. Press the Set Button . The Program
Indicator will then blink in a sequence that
corresponds to the three-digit code, with a one-
second pause between each digit. Count the
number of blinks between each pause to deter-
mine the digit of the code. One blink is the
number 1, two blinks is the number 2, and so
forth. Ten blinks are used to indicate a “0.”
Example: One blink, followed by a one-second
pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a
one-second pause, followed by ten blinks indi-
cates that the code has been set to 160.
