Using the remote controller Overview When you use a remote controller, typically you press one of the MODE buttons that corresponds to the device you wish to control, then press the operation buttons. For example, if you wish to control the TX-DS575X from a remote controller, first press the MODE AUDIO button, then press an appropriate operation button. To control a CD player, press the MODE CD button, then press an appropriate operation button.
Using the remote controller Controlling an Onkyo CD player Note: First connect an Onkyo CD player using the connection. 1. Press the MODE CD button. 2. Press the desired CD operation button.
Using the remote controller Controlling an Onkyo MD recorder Note: Make sure that you point the transmission part on the remote controller toward the sensor area on the MD recorder. MODE MD MD operation buttons Numeric keys, ENT button 1. Press the MODE MD/AUX button. 2. Press the desired MD operation button.
Programming the remote controller codes of other devices into the RC-392M The RC-392M has two learning functions. One is a normal learning function that enables the RC-392M to learn other remote controllers’ codes. The other is a macro learning function, which enables the RC-392M to learn a series of codes already memorized in the remote controller into one MACRO button. Programming procedure Program the codes for each mode (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV).
Programming the remote controller codes of other devices into the RC-392M See page 39 for information on how to erase the learned codes from all buttons. Erasing a learned code SEND/LEARN indicator You can erase a learned code. You cannot erase preset codes. • Erasing a code programmed in a button MODE buttons 1. Press and hold down the corresponding MODE button and press the ENT button, then release the buttons. When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights up.
Using a Macro function What is a Macro function? A Macro function enables you to program a series of button operations on the remote controller into a single button. For example, you need to follow the steps below to play a CD player connected to the TX-DS575X without using the Macro function: 1: Press the MODE AUDIO button. → 2: Press the ON button. → 3: Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button. → 4: Press the MODE CD button. → 5: Use the numeric keys to select the desired song.
Using a Macro function Macro Direct Learning function A series of remote controller button operations can be memorized into the MACRO DIRECT button for one-touch control. Note: You can program only one series of button operations into the MACRO DIRECT button. 1, 3 1 Tip: The codes programmed into a MACRO button will be transmitted with an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code.
Using a Macro function Erasing a learned remote controller button operation from the MACRO MODE buttons 1, 2 1 1. Press and hold down the corresponding MODE button and press the MACRO MODE button, then release the buttons. When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights up. When you press the MACRO MODE button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes once. 2. Press the MACRO MODE button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.
Using a Macro function Erasing all codes and operations programmed in the buttons 1 This procedure will erase all remote controller codes for the other devices and all macro operations that have been programmed in the RC-392M (see pages 34, 36 and 37). 2 2 1. Open the battery cover and remove the batteries. 2. While pressing and holding down the ON button and the STNBY button, insert the batteries in the correct direction. After inserting the batteries, release the buttons.
Troubleshooting guide If a problem occurs while you are using the remote controller, first try to operate the front panel controls on the main unit to make sure that it is not due to a malfunction (or worn out batteries) in the remote controller. Trouble Cause • • No power. • • Power on but no sound. • • • No sound from the center speaker, or very minimal sound. Pressing the ON button on the remote controller does not turn on the power to the main unit.
