ENGLISH ON SCREEN INFOMATION MULTI ROOM SELECTOR The Multi Room Selector is a function which allows you to listen to the same or a different source in a room other than the room in which the SR8000 is located. To use this function, a multi room remote unit and remote control signal receiver available from your Marantz dealer are necessary. The operations possible with the multi room function are explained briefly below.
5.SLEEP TIMER When a function selector button or surround mode button is pressed VIDEO: Displays the current video source. When DSS/TV, LD, DVD, VCR or AUX is selected with the function selector, both AUDIO and VIDEO shows the same name. AUDIO: Displays the current analog audio input source. DIGITAL: Displays the current digital input source. SURR-MODE: Displays the current Surround mode as follows; AUTO, DOLBY, DTS CINEMA, DTS MUSIC, HALL MATRIX, MOVIE, 5-STEREO , STEREO, S=DIRECT, or 6CH-INPUT.
ENGLISH REMOTE CONTROL UNIT RC-18SR FUNCTION AND OPERATION n The remote control unit provided with the SR8000 is a “learning”-type, programmable unit capable of controlling almost any component in your system, as well as the Marantz D-BUS components (RC-5). The components to be controlled can be selected with 11 function buttons. OPERATION The provided remote control unit (RC-18SR) is a system remote controller.
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 RC18SR 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.
ENGLISH d Battery indicator: When the batteries are running low, this indicator will become visible. At this point, it will not be possible to learn any new remote codes, but normal remote control operation is still provided (including the use of any previously learned codes). At this point, you should consider changing the batteries soon. As time goes on, and the battery power diminishes further, this indicator will begin blinking. At this point, no remote commands will be transmitted.
USE Mode: As supplied from the factory, the RC-18SR is already permanently programmed with many pre-set commands common to Marantz and Philips equipment, as well as other brands of components that utilize the Philips RC-5 remote control language. 1. If the RC-18SR is in another mode (LEARN, etc.), press the operation mode button z with the tip of a paper clip, until the USE indication appears. 2. Press one of the function buttons ., to change to another component’s commands such as LD (refer to Figure 1).
5. ENGLISH Press and hold the corresponding SIDE-A button on the laser disc player’s remote transmitter until the head of name blinks in the RC-18SR LCD window or beep sounds emit. The RC-18SR changes to the RENAME mode automatically as the next step. A function name of the DIRECT function button blinks, you can rename this blinking function name. You input the desired letter or number with the ten keypad. (See the table in step 3 of the next procedure for referece.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Macro mode: The word “macro” is used to describe a series of specific steps carried out in sequence. For example, a word processing program can use macros to carry out common repetitive typing tasks. During the day to day operation of an A/V system, you might often find yourself pressing the same combination of remote control buttons.
3. ENGLISH 4. inadvertently changed as well when the macro is played back. The RC-18SR has a special feature to prevent this from occurring, allowing you to access the special commands available under each RC-18SR function button during a macro playback sequence, while at the same time preventing the amplifier or receiver from constantly switching its input source back and forth at the same time.
4. Press the MACRO x button with the tip of a paper clip. The RC18SR will revert to the normal mode (see Figure 16). Figure 16 Figure 12 5. USE To execute the new macro sequence, press the appropriate MACRO button (1 through 4) that you chose at the beginning of the above programming sequence. (see Figures 17, 18, and 19) Figure 17 2. 3.
After all bars are lit up on both displays, “TX OK” (transmission OK) will appear in the source RC-18SR’s LCD window, and “RX OK” (reception OK) will appear in the “cloned” RC-18SR’s LCD window, confirming the end of the copying process (see Figures 24 and 25). To “clone” (duplicate) the memory contents of one RC-18SR ENGLISH into another RC-18SR or RC2000MKII, please follow these steps: 1.
n Battery life will vary from user to user, if the remote is used constantly or only occasionally, including the amount of backlighting usage. We feel that you can expect the batteries to last about 4 months, based upon 15 remote control operations per day (every day), and 3 lighting operations per day (every day). If the remote is used more often, and if the lighting times are set to longer times than the factory settings, then the battery life may be shortened somewhat.
ENGLISH DIRECT COMMAND FUNCTIONS LISTING Within the RC-18SR LCD window, each of the 8 Direct Function buttons has 4 character labels attached for pre-programmed remote commands. These commands can be used with various Marantz A/V components, or other components using the Philips RC-5 remote control language. You can easily replace the factory-supplied remote command codes with different codes from other brands of equipment.

ENGLISH SURROUND MODES The SR8000 incorporates digital signal processors (DSP) which can reproduce various surround effects you experience in concert halls and movie theaters, etc. Nine Surround Modes, are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played. FEATURES Surroud mode 1. AUTO When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, PCM-audio or DTS.
The surround mode is selected with the surround mode buttons of the SR8000 or the remote control unit. However, the sound from the speakers depend upon the relationship between the selected surround mode and the input signal. They are as follows; Output Fluorescent Indicator LED Indicator Surround Input Signal Mode L/R LS/RS C SW Encoded Mode status (14seg) Ch. Status AUTO Dolby Digital (5.
