REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The following information should be used in place of
the similar pages in the manual that accompanies your
A
VR. In addition to adding an explanation for the
LEARN Button , which is not on the original
remote, it also adds information about the controls that
are used to operate the DVD player. When buttons
ser
ve a function for both the DVD player and the AVR,
the complete description of how the button operates
with the DVD player is found on page 9 of the owner’s
manual included in the DVD player carton.
IMPORTANT NOTE:The RCP 2 may be programmed
to control up to eight devices, including
the AVR and
DVD
. Before using the remote, it is important to
remem
-
ber to press the
Input Selector Button e that cor-
responds to the unit you wish to operate.The RCP 2 is
also capable of operating a wide variety of other prod-
ucts using the control codes that are part of the
remote. Before using the RCP 2 with other products,
follow the instructions on pages 7–23 to program the
proper codes for the products in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of the but-
tons on the RCP 2 take on different functions,depend-
ing on the product selected using the Device Control
Selectors.The descriptions shown here primarily detail
the functions of the RCP 2 when it is used to operate
the AVR and DVD player that comes with your CP
Series System. (See page 10 for information about
alternate functions for the RCP 2’s buttons.)
Before using the remote, remember to install the three
supplied AAA batteries in the compartment on the bot-
tom of the RCP 2, as shown in the diagram below.Be
certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that
are printed on the bottom of the battery compartment.

will select the source shown on the button as the input
to the AVR. Finally,it will change the remote control so
that it controls the device selected. After pressing one
of these buttons you must press the

and the main display will go completely dark. Note that
this setting is temporary, in that regardless of any
changes,
the display will always return to full brightness
when the AVR is turned on. In addition, the
Power
Indicator
2 will always remain at full brightness
regardless of the setting.This is to remind you that the
A
