Operating the Remote
Commander
There are two ways to operate the
components on the Remote Commander
(RM-AX1400).
XPRESS operation: You can operate
multiple AV components related to a
specific task, such as “watching a
DVD,” or “watching a digital satellite,”
etc. This is called an “XPRESS
function.”
Single component operation: You can
operate each AV component
individually (page 17).
Caution
Before you operate the Remote Commander,
determine all settings for your components and
necessary XPRESS functions by “AX1400
Remote Editor” on your PC. See the Help file of
“AX1400 Remote Editor” for details.
What is the XPRESS
function?
The XPRESS function is an executable
series of actions that can operate several
AV components by pressing just one
button.
For example, you have to perform the
following operations sequentially to
watch a DVD using a TV, amplifier/
receiver, and a DVD player.
1 Turn on the DVD player.
2 Turn on the TV.
3 Set the appropriate input mode of the
TV.
4 Turn on the amplifier/receiver.
5 Set the appropriate input selector of the
amplifier/receiver.
6 Start DVD playback.
By setting the above actions as an
XPRESS function, you can watch a DVD
by simply pressing one button.
Also, the XPRESS function can memorize
the status of power on/off, input selector
for each component, and send a signal to
synchronize the status which you want
without reference to the component’s
status.
