Marantz SR490 - Learning Method

(SR590 Only)
LEARNING METHOD
This remote control unit (RC580SR) can learn, or program in itself, the
remote control code of any function preset under any button of the remote
control
unit
of
any
system
component,
except
for
the
MAIN
POWER
switch
of
the
SR590.
The
functions
of
the
components
that
can
be
controlled
through
the
D-BUS
(RC-5)
need
not
be
learned,
but
the
functions
of
other
components
must
be
learned
before
they
can
be
controlled
from
the RC580SR remote control unit. To let the RC580SR learn the remote
control code of a function of a component, foliow the learning procedure
described below.
1. Set the mode switch to LEARN.
2. Select the component with the codes to be learned, by pressing one of
he input selector buttons.
For example, when the CD button is pressed, most of the buttons on
the remote handset get ready to learn the CD control codes.
3. On the RC580SR, press the button corresponding to the function to be
earned. For example, if the function to be learned is playback, press the
PLAY ( ) button on the remote control unit. The Learn indicator will
ight up.
4. Place the remote control unit of the component with the function to be
earned at a distance of about 20 cm (8 inches) from the RC580SR, so
hat the head (transmitting side) of the former remote control unit
points the head of the RCS80SR.
5. On the remote control unit of the component, press and hold the button
of the function to be learned, until the learning indicator of the RC580SR
starts to blink then goes off. The learning operation is complete when
the indicator is extinguished.
6. Set the mode switch to USER.
7. Let the RC580SR learn other codes by repeating the steps above for
each code.
Note:
When the system mode switch is in the USER position, the buttons
which have not learned any function output the D-BUS (RC-5) codes
when they are pressed. In the RC-5 (D-BUS) position, ali buttons output
the D-BUS (RC-5) codes.
RECALLING THE PRESET FUNCTION
Even after a button has learned the remote contro! code of a function, its
originally preset, D-BUS (RC-5) code can be recalled any time by following
the procedure below.
1. Set the mode switch to LEARN.
2. Press the MAIN POWER OFF button and the button which has learned
a function simultaneously.
3. Set the mode switch to USER.
Learning button indications
Although the learning buttons can be used to operate various components,
the indications printed above the buttons are Marantz D-BUS (RC-5) preset
code indications. To make it easier to remember which buttons perform
which operations, therefore, we recommend that you program operations
into buttons having the same or similar indications.
There
are
some
situations
where
programming
is
not
possible.
In
the
following
instances,
both
the
TX
and
LEARN
LEDs
blink
to
indicate
that
programming
cannot
be
carried
out.
1. When the remote contro! unit's memory is full.
2. When you attempt to program a command from a remote contro! unit
using a different signal transmission format.
CLEARING ALL OF THE LEARNED CODES
Use the following procedure to reset all of the buttons which have learned
remote control codes and make them possible to output RC-5 preset
codes.
1. Set the mode switch to LEARN.
2. Hold down the main POWER ON and OFF buttons simultaneously for
more than 3 seconds.
3. Set the mode switch to USER.

Operation of Remote Control
(for SR490/PM490AV)
1. Remote control
The distance between the transmitter of the remote control unit and the
IR SENSOR of the AV Surround Stereo Receiver should be less than about
5 metres. If the transmitter is pointed to a direction other than the iR
SENSOR or if there is an obstacle between them, remote control may not
be possible.
Receiver/Amplifier
Remote-controllable range
Approx. 5 m—

2. Loading batteries
The life of the batteries used with the remote control unit is about one year
with normal use.
@ Remove the back cover.
@ Insert batteries (AAA type ) with correct
(+) and (-) polarity.
@) Close until it clicks.
