Preparing the Remote Controller
Inserting the Batteries

2 Insert the two size AA/R6/UM3 batteries.
Be sure to match the + and – ends of the batteries with
the diagram inside the battery compartment.
3 Attach the battery cover.
Switching the remote controller
function modes
Some buttons on the remote controller have two or
more functions. To set the functionality of these
buttons, press one of the six MODE (DVD, CDR, TAPE/
MD/HD, AUDIO, VCR, TV) buttons in advance.
The function mode remains the same until another
MODE button is pressed.
(Details about the functions and the related function
modes are explained in each section.)
Notes
• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of
batteries.
• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller
is not to be used for a long time.
• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from
corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly,
replace both batteries at the same time.
• The life of the supplied batteries is about six months but this
varies depending on usage.
Pointing the remote controller in the
right direction
Point the remote controller toward the remote control
sensor.
Notes
• Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or
inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of
the remote controller.
• Using another remote controller of the same type in the same
room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays
may cause operational interference.
• Do not put any object (such as a book) on the remote controller.
The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake
and drain the batteries.
• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass.
Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote
controller operation.
• If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the
remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.
Press MODE AUDIO first before operating the speaker
setting and sound related operations.
Press MODE CDR first before operating the
z-connected Onkyo CD recorder (see pages 21, 23
and 41)
Press MODE TAPE/MD/HD first before operating the
z-connected Onkyo MD recorder, cassette tape deck
or hard disk recorder (see pages 21, 23 and 41).
