c CLONE

The RC-18SR has the ability to “replicate” itself, downloading all of its

internal pre-programmed and user-programmed commands to another

RC-18SR or RC2000MKII. This button is used when you wish to “teach”

another RC-18SR or RC2000MKII all of the customized commands

you’ve already programmed in this RC-18SR.

v POWER ON and OFF

These two buttons are used to turn the main component’s (amplifier

or receiver) AC power on and off. We provide both ON and OFF

commands so that your A/V system is remote compatible with

external infrared controllers, such as in-wall key pads, etc.

b SOURCE ON/OFF

This button is used to turn the AC power on and off to any of your A/V

source components that have their own remote control turn-on and

turn-off commands, such as TV, laser disc player, VCR, and etc.

n MACRO 1-4

Each of these 4 buttons can be programmed with a “string” of

commands, called a macro, to initiate a sequence of remote codes to

achieve a particular result. For example, a macro button could be

programmed to turn on the main system power, then turn on a particular

source component (such as a laser disc player), then turn on the TV set,

set the TV to AUX video input, and then adjust the surround processor to

the home theater surround decoding mode, then activate the laser disc

player’s PLAY function. This means that by pressing one macro button,

you can achieve the same result as pushing up to 20 buttons in

sequence.

m DIRECT

With today’s high performance A/V systems, it is not unusual for each

component in your system to have dozens of specialized command

functions. If we were to duplicate all of those commands for each

component onto the RC-18SR key pad, we could easily exceed 300

buttons for an entire home theater system, which would result in either

a huge key pad, or buttons of infinitesimal size. The DIRECT command

buttons (4 on each side of the LCD display, 8 total) work with the PAGE

buttons (4 pages for each source component) to provide up to 32

dedicated specialized functions for each of the 11 function input

selectors. Each DIRECT function may also be provided with an alpha-

numeric function indicator visible in the LCD display. You may even

change the displayed name of each function to another name, if you

wish.

, PAGE

Used to select any 1 of the 4 pages of 8 functions for each DIRECT

button, as explained above.

. FUNCTION

Press one of these buttons once or twice to select a particular source

component. For example, to set the amplifier or receiver to the laser

disc input, press the LD button twice within 2 seconds. Along with the

source selection, special functions may become available (the

DIRECT keys), as well as activating the transport function keys, so

that you can now directly operate the laser disc player from the RC-

18SR. If you wish, you may even re-program the status indicators in

the LCD window to reflect your own particular function name

whenever that source (function) button is selected.

Here are the button names and their functions:

LD : Laser disc player

TV : Television

VCR1 : Video cassette recorder

DSS/VCR2 : Digital satellite decoder or second video cassette

recorder

AUX : Can be used for an auxiliary source component

TUNER : AM/FM tuner, or AM/FM tuner section of a receiver

CD : Compact disc player or changer

TAPE : Audio tape deck, or digital audio recorder

AMP : Amplifier or receiver control functions

DVD : Digital video disc player

CD-R/MD : CD-Recorder or mini disc player

Note:

Press a function selector button only once to select the LD player, etc.

Remember, when you press a function selector button only once, the

RC-18SR will not send out a remote control code to instruct the

amplifier or receiver to change to that corresponding input, but the RC-

18SR keypad and DIRECT function commands will provide the

selected component’s specialized remote control codes. Press a

function selector button twice within 2 seconds to change the function

of the amplifier or receiver.

For example, if you press the LD function button twice within 2

seconds, the amplifier or receiver’s input will immediately be switched

to the laser disc input, and the keypad and DIRECT function

commands for laser disc operation will be activated. Press the CD

function button only once, the amplifier or receiver’s input will not

switch to the CD input, however the RC-18SR keypad and DIRECT

function commands for compact disc operation will be activated.

We have provided 11 popular function command selector buttons,

based upon the typical input selections available with most quality A/

V amplifiers (or receivers) including popular Marantz models.

The function button DSS/VCR2 is a little different from the others, in

that when you press this button, the RC-18SR will send out a

command to the amplifier or receiver to switch to the DSS input, and

then the RC-18SR keypad and DIRECT function commands will be

configured for DSS (digital satellite system) control. We have

included DSS commands within the RC-18SR’s pre-programmed

memory for RCA brand DSS equipment. If you have another brand of

DSS, you can “teach” the RC-18SR with the remote control codes of

your equipment.

⁄0 LCD window

The LCD window provides a wealth of information, including function

selection name, DIRECT function names, learning and programming

steps, as well as useful indicators for battery status, and other helpful

indicators. The LCD window features back-lighting, making it easy to

view when the room light is very low.

⁄1 Volume up (+) and down (-)

Used to raise and lower the main system volume level. Note that

these buttons are clearly the largest size, and are conveniently

located and contoured for easy operation, even in low lighting.

⁄2 Ten keypad

Like a telephone key pad, the ten number buttons (0-9) are used to

enter numeric digits. They are useful for finding a specific track on a

CD, or to tune a pre-set radio station, etc. The “0” button performs the

same operation as the “CLEAR” button on the SR-19EX main unit.

⁄3 MEMO

This button is used to program your CD player’s track memory, or to

enter a VCR recording program, and can be used to provide the

MEMO function included with other components in your system.

⁄4 CLEAR

This button is used to cancel certain memory or programming

operations. It operates differently from the “CLEAR” button on the SR-

19EX main unit.

⁄5 Transport control functions

These buttons provide transport commands for your source

components, such as laser disc player, CD player, VCR, audio tape

deck, etc., and are dependent on the function source selected. For

example, when the RC-18SR is set to LD (laser disc) mode, the

transport keys will operate the laser disc player’s PLAY, STOP,

PAUSE, FAST FORWARD, FAST REVERSE, NEXT and PREVIOUS

track functions. Change the RC-18SR function selector to VCR, and

these keys will then operate the VCR’s transport command functions,

etc.
