Remote Control Setup and Operation
The P-2000 remote control is preprogrammed to operate over 1,000 audio
and video components. Programming is accomplished by simply punching
in a three digit code number that matches your equipment.
In addition to the P-2000 itself, the remote control can operate up to seven
other audio and video devices in your home entertainment system. Examples
are listed below:
TVs, Monitors, Video/LCD Projectors
VCRs, TV/VCR combination units
Cable boxes, Internet set-top boxes
Satellite receivers–DSS, PrimeStar, Dish, DBS, C-Band
Audio receivers, Preampliers, Surround processors
Compact disc players, Multi-Disc changers
DVD, Laser disc players
Cassette Tape Players, DAT, MiniDisc, Switchers, Lighting, Home Control
Devices, and Line Doublers
For the best performance when operating your remote control, please follow
the guidelines listed below.
Remember to point the remote control toward the remote control sensor
on the P-2000, not the TV screen. Place the P-2000 away from strong
light such as direct sunlight or uorescent light, which can interfere
with the operation of the remote control.
Using another remote control of a similar type or placing the P-2000
near equipment which also uses infrared control can cause operational
interference.
Do not put any objects on the remote control. The buttons of the remote
control may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries. For the same
reason it’s a good idea not to let the remote slip in between the cushions
of your furniture.
Make sure any doors you place the P-2000 behind do not have colored
(tinted) glass. Tinted glass can prevent proper remote operation.
If any obstacle blocks the transmission of light between the remote con-
trol and the front of the P-2000, the remote control will not operate.
The included remote control has many advanced features designed to
enhance the operation of your home entertainment system. After becoming
familiar with the layout of the buttons on the remote (see page 10), follow the
steps below to customize the remote for your particular setup. Please take a
few moments to properly set up the remote. The benet of being able to use
one control to operate all or most of your equipment cannot be overstated.
Battery Installation
This remote control uses four AAA 1.5 V batteries (supplied). Please be sure
to match the batteries with the (+) and (–) markings inside the battery
compartment during installation. When replacing the batteries we recom-
mend that you use alkaline types for maximum life.
To install batteries in the remote control:
1.
Open the battery cover by pushing the latch toward the top
of the remote and lifting up.
2.
Insert the four (4) AAA batteries into the compartment, being
careful to match the polarity diagram shown on the inside.
Whenever you replace the batteries we recommend gently wiping the
contacts on the ends of the batteries and in the remote control with a
clean cloth to ensure good connections.
3.
Slide the battery cover straight back in (toward the top of
the remote) and gently push down until it snaps into place.
Note: Never mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries.
To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote control will not
be used for one month or more. Remove dead batteries immediately
to avoid damage from corrosion.
Under normal conditions the life of the batteries supplied is about six
months, but this can vary, depending on usage.
The remote control will retain its programmed memory for up to one year after
the batteries are removed, and up to ten years after the batteries go “dead.”
Setup Using Preprogrammed Codes
Each of the Source Selection Buttons can be programmed to operate a par-
ticular audio or video component in your system. The AUD button is used
exclusively for control of the P-2000 and cannot be re-programmed. More
detailed information can be found in the section “Operation”.
More than one setup code number may work with a given device. You should
test the functions for each of the code numbers that work with your device to
determine which one operates the most functions of your particular unit.
Note:
Some devices, such as CD players and DVD Decks that do not
have a POWER button on their original remote controls, may not shut
off during the programming process as described below. For these
devices, it may be necessary to rst store the setup code number and
then test functions like PLAY, STOP, etc., to determine if the correct
number has been selected.
If your system has more than one VCR for example, any available Source
button can be used to select that device. Use the steps below to program the
remaining seven source buttons (TV, VCR, SAT, CBL, CD, DVD, and AUX) to
program the remote control for your devices.
To program using Three Digit Codes:
1.
Turn on the device you would like the remote control to
operate, either manually or with its original remote control.
2.
Find the three digit setup code number for that device from
the tables on pages 41-44.
3.
Press the corresponding Source button for the device and the
MUTE button on the remote control simultaneously.
The red LED and the selected Source button will illuminate.
Note: The source button and LED will remain lit for approximately
10 seconds to indicate that the remote control is ready to be pro-
grammed. The following steps must be performed while they are lit. If
the lights go out, simply start again by pressing the Source and MUTE
buttons to re-enter the setup mode.
