FEATURES

Digital Sound Field Processing

This unit incorporates a sophisticated, multi-program digital sound field processor. The processor allows you to electronically expand and change the shape of the audio sound field from both audio and video sources, creating a theater-like experience in your listening room. This unit has a total of 10 digital sound field processor (DSP) modes. You can create an excellent audio sound field by selecting a suitable sound field (this will, of course, depend on what you will be listening to), and adding desired adjustments.

In addition, this unit incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded video sources. The operation of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including combined operations of the Yamaha DSP and the Dolby Pro Logic Surround or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder.

What is it that makes live music so good? Today’s advanced sound reproduction technology lets you get extremely close to the sound of a live performance, but chances are you’ll still notice something missing, the acoustic environment of the live concert hall. Extensive research into the exact nature of the sonic reflections that create the ambience of a large hall has made it possible for Yamaha engineers to bring you this same sound in your own listening room, so you’ll feel all the sound of a live concert. What’s more, our technicians, armed with sophisticated measuring equipment, have even made it possible to capture the acoustics of a variety of actual concert halls, jazz clubs, theaters, etc. from around the world, to allow you to accurately recreate any one of these live performance environments, all in your own home.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

This unit employs a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder similar to professional Dolby Stereo decoders used in many movie theaters. By using the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you can experience the dramatic realism and impact of Dolby Surround movie theater sound in your own home. Dolby Pro Logic employs a four channel five speaker system. The Pro Logic Surround system divides the input signal into four levels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (used for dialog), and the rear surround sound channels (used for sound effects, background noise, and other ambient noises). The center channel allows listeners seated in even less-than-ideal positions to hear the dialog originating from the action on the screen while experiencing good stereo imaging. Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of pre-recorded video tapes, laser discs, and some TV/cable broadcasts. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on this unit, the Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder decodes the signal and distributes the surround-sound effects.

This Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder employs a digital signal processing system. This system improves the stability of sound at each channel and crosstalk between channels, so that positioning of sounds around the room is more accurate compared with conventional analog signal processing systems.

In addition, this unit features a built-in automatic input balance control. This always assures you the best performance without manual adjustment.

Dolby Digital (AC-3)

The built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder leads you into a totally new sound experiences.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a new generation of multi-channel digital audio technology, or the newest spatial sound processing format developed for 35 mm film-movies by employing a new kind of low bit-rate audio coding.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital surround sound system that provides completely independent multi-channel audio to consumers. In multi-channel form, Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides five full range channels in what is sometimes referred to as a “3/2” configuration: three front channels (left, center and right), plus two surround channels. A sixth bass-only effect channel is also provided for output of LFE (low frequency effect), or low bass effects that are independent of other channels. This channel is counted as 0.1, thus giving rise to the term 5.1 channels in total.

Compared to Dolby Pro Logic that is referred to a “3/1” system

(left front, center, right front and just one surround channel), Dolby

Digital (AC-3) features two surround channels, called stereo or split surrounds, each offering the same full range fidelity as the three front channels.

Sound of wide dynamic range reproduced by the five full range channels presents listeners much excitement that has never been experienced before. Precise sound orientation by the discrete digital sound processing expands realism that the original movie possesses.

Laser Disc is a home audio format that could benefit from

Dolby Digital (AC-3). In the near future, Dolby Digital (AC-3) will also be applied to DBS, CATV, DVD and HDTV. The ongoing release of Dolby Stereo Digital theatrical films now underway will provide an immediate source of Dolby Digital (AC-3) encoded video software.

Dynamic range (sound scale) of source can be changed so that it will be suitable for the listening conditions.

Output of low bass from any channel can be assigned to either the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to maximize system performance.

Output of LFE can be assigned to either the MAIN

SPEAKERS terminals or SUBWOOFER terminals to maximize system performance.

Dolby Surround + DSP (CINEMA DSP)

Dolby Surround sound system shows its full ability in a large movie theater, because movie sounds are originally designed to be reproduced in a large movie theater using many speakers. It is difficult to create a sound environment similar to that of a movie theater in your listening room, because the room size, materials of inside walls, the number of speakers, etc. of your listening room is much different from those of a movie theater.

Yamaha DSP technology made it possible to present you with nearly the same sound experience as that of a large movie theater in your listening room by compensating for lack of presence and dynamics in your listening room with its original digital sound fields combined with Dolby Surround sound field.

The YAMAHA “CINEMA DSP” logo indicates those programs are created by the combination of Dolby Surround and YAMAHA

DSP technology.

Dolby Pro Logic + 2 Digital Sound Fields

Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the rear surround side of the Dolby Pro Logic Surround-decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and emphasize surround-effect in the room, letting you feel much presence as if you are watching a movie in a popular Dolby Stereo theater.

This combination is available when the sound field program No.

2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2channels.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) + 3 Digital Sound Fields

Digital sound fields are created on the presence side and the independent left and right surround sides of the Dolby Digital (AC-

3)-decoded sound field respectively. They create a wide acoustic environment and much surround effect in the room without losing high channel separation. With wide dynamic range of Dolby Digital

(AC-3) sound, this sound field combination lets you feel as if you are watching a movie in the newest Dolby Stereo Digital theater.

This will be the most ideal home theater sound at the present time.

This combination is available when the sound field program No.

2, No. 3 or No. 4 is selected, and the input signal of source is encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) (except in 2-channels).

Video superimpose

If you connect your video cassette recorder, LD player, video monitor, etc. to this unit, you can take advantage of this unit’s capability to display program titles and information for various setting changes and adjustments on your video monitor’s screen.

This information will be superimposed over the video image.

Setting Up Your Speaker System

SPEAKER SETUP

Use of the Center Dialog Speaker Is Recommended

This unit has been designed to provide the best sound field quality with a full seven-speaker system setup, using two extra pairs of effect speakers to generate the sound field plus one center speaker for dialog. We therefore recommend that you use a sevenspeaker setup. A four-speaker system using only one pair of effect speakers for the sound field will still provide impressive ambience and effects, however, and may be a good way to begin with this unit. You can always upgrade to the full seven speaker system later. In the 4 or 5 speaker system, the Digital Sound Field

Processing is still performed, but the main speakers are used for both the main channels and the front effect channels.

When playing back a source with the DSP programs No. 1 through No. 4, or when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded with any DSP program used, if the source contains center-channel signals, dialog, vocals etc. are output from the center channel.

Therefore, if you want to maximize the performance of your

Audio/Video home theater system, it is recommended that you use a center channel speaker.

If for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker, it is possible to enjoy movie viewing without it. Best results, however, are obtained with the full system.

Use of a Subwoofer Expands Your Sound Field

It is also possible to further expand your system with the addition of a subwoofer and amplifier. The use of a subwoofer is effective not only for reinforcing bass frequencies from any or all channels, but also for reproducing the LFE (low frequency effect) sound with high fidelity when playing back a source with the Dolby

Digital (AC-3) decoded. You may wish to choose the convenience of a Yamaha Active Servo Processing Subwoofer System, which has its own built-in power amplifier.

Four Possible Types of Speaker System Configurations Recommended

4 Speaker System 5 Speaker System 6 Speaker System 7 Speaker System

Simplest system.

You can enjoy widely diffused sound by only adding two additional speaker units at the rear.

Good for Audio/Video sources.

By the use of center speaker, center sounds (dialog, vocals etc.) are precisely localized.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to ON.

(See page 20.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to PHNTM.

(See page 30.)

FRONT MIX switch—Set to ON.

(See page 20.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to NRML or WIDE. (See page 30.)

Good for sound fields from 2channel stereo sources.

When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 10, a sound effect matching that of a 7speaker system can be obtained. The addition of front left and right effect speakers produces a more effective sound field.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to OFF.

(See page 20.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to PHNTM.

(See page 30.)

This is the recommended speaker system, providing the best sound effects.

When a normal stereo source is played back with the sound field programs No. 5 through No. 10, using both sets of effect speakers (front and rear), reproduces the most effective sound field. When using the sound field programs No. 1 through No. 4 or when using any program with the

Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, the center speaker provides precise center localization.

FRONT MIX switch—Set to OFF.

(See page 20.)

CENTER SPEAKER—Set to NRML or WIDE. (See page 30.)

11

Speakers and Speaker Placement

Your full seven-speaker system will require three speaker pairs: the MAIN SPEAKERS (your normal stereo speakers), the FRONT

EFFECT SPEAKERS and the REAR SPEAKERS, plus the

CENTER SPEAKER. You may also be using a subwoofer.

The MAIN SPEAKERS should be high performance models and have enough power handling capacity to accept the maximum output of your audio system.

Other speakers do not have to be equal to the MAIN

SPEAKERS. For precise sound localization, however, it is ideal to use high performance models that can reproduce sounds in full range for the CENTER SPEAKER and the FRONT EFFECT and

REAR SPEAKERS.

Place the MAIN SPEAKERS in the normal position.

Place the FRONT EFFECT SPEAKERS further apart than the

MAIN SPEAKERS, on either side of and a few feet behind and above the MAIN SPEAKER pair.

Place the REAR SPEAKERS behind your listening position.

They should be nearly six feet up from the floor.

Place the CENTER SPEAKER precisely between the two MAIN

SPEAKERS. (To avoid interference, keep the speaker above or below the television monitor, or use a magnetically shielded speaker.)

12

If using a SUBWOOFER, such as a Yamaha Active Servo

Subwoofer System, the position of the speaker is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR

CONNECTIONS

Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels correctly connected. That means that jacks marked “L” on this unit must be connected to jacks marked “L” on other units. Likewise with the “R” jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the red plug for the “R” jacks and the white plug for the “L” jacks.

For connections with audio/video source equipment, use RCA type pin plug cables with the exception described later.

With speaker connections you must also be sure that the polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the speaker, and connect the minus (–) terminal of the amplifier to the minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or a different color.

Notes on connecting with an LD player equipped with an AC-3 RF output

If your LD player has AC-3 RF signal output jack and no digital signal output jack for AC-3 discrete audio signals, connect the AC-

3 RF signal output jack to this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase).

First, connect the AC-3 RF signal output jack of the LD player to the AC-3 RF signal input jack of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the optical (or coaxial) digital signal output jack of the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) digital signal input jack of this unit.

This connection is necessary for inputting audio signals encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) on the LD player to this unit.

It is also necessary to connect the LD player to this unit’s analog audio signal input jacks regardless of the AC-3 RF signal connection, for playing back an LD source with the Dolby Pro Logic

Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural).

If desired, you can also connect the digital signal output jack

(for 2-channel audio signals) of the LD player to this unit. If you will do so, connect it to the COAXIAL digital signal input jack of this unit, and connect the RF demodulator to the OPTICAL digital signal input jack of this unit.

By this connection, if the input mode of the DVD/LD source is in

“AUTO”, you can enjoy listening to sounds decoded with the Dolby

Digital (AC-3) when you play a disc encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) though signals are input to both OPTICAL and COAXIAL digital signal input jacks of this unit simultaneously (because signals input to the OPTICAL jack take priority of signals input to the COAXIAL jack).

See page 39 for details about switching the input mode.

NOTES

● If, for example, you play a CD on the LD player (which can play a CD also), there is no input to the OPTICAL jack, so the signals input to the COAXIAL jack take priority. In this case,

● switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound surely.

However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off.

When you want to play a source encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) without decoding the Dolby Digital (AC-3), you must switch off the power to the RF demodulator.

CONNECTING TO S VIDEO JACKS

If your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. and your monitor are equipped with “S” (high-resolution) video terminals, connect them to this unit’s S VIDEO jacks, and connect this unit’s

S VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the “S” video input of your monitor. Otherwise, connect the composite video jacks from your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. to the VIDEO jacks of this unit, and connect this unit’s VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack to the composite video input of your monitor.

NOTE: If video signals are sent to both S VIDEO input and VIDEO input jacks, the signals will be sent to their respective output jacks independently.

NOTE: If your unit is the General Model, be sure the NTSC/PAL switch has been correctly set to the standard that your video equipment employs. Other models have no switch and use the PAL standard.

Notes about the Video superimpose

●

If you watch a video source that is connected to both S VIDEO and VIDEO input jacks of this unit, signals of screen display information are output from only the S VIDEO MONITOR OUT

● jack.

When no video signal is input to either S VIDEO or VIDEO input jacks of this unit, signals of screen display information are output from both S VIDEO MONITOR OUT and VIDEO

MONITOR OUT jacks with a color background.

* For the General Model, if the NTSC/PAL switch on the rear panel is set to “PAL”, nothing will be output from either S

VIDEO MONITOR OUT or VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack in this case.

CONNECTING SPEAKER SYSTEMS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any other metal part as this could damage this unit and/or speakers.

NOTE: Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.

CONNECTING THE MAIN SPEAKERS TO THIS UNIT

One or two sets of MAIN speakers can be connected to this unit.

If you use two sets of MAIN speakers, connect one set to the

MAIN SPEAKERS A terminals, and connect another set to the B terminals. If you use only one set of MAIN speakers, connect them to either the MAIN SPEAKERS A or B terminals. Make sure that the jumper bars between the PRE OUT and MAIN IN jacks on the rear panel are in place.

It is also possible to use an external power amplifier if more power is desired. In this case, remove the jumper bars and connect the PRE OUT jacks to the INPUT jacks of a stereo power amplifier with a stereo pin cable—making sure to connect the left and right channels correctly. Connect the MAIN speakers to the speaker output terminals of the power amplifier.

Set the SPEAKERS switch A or B (or both A and B) on the front panel corresponding to the main speakers you will use to the

Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel).

The larger the value, the later the dialog etc. is generated.

This is for making sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers reach your listening position at the same time by delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening position.

2.

DYNAMIC RANGE (Adjusting dynamic range)

Choices: MAX/STD/MIN

Preset position: MAX

* This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded.

MAX: “Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide dynamic range.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged.

In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds like a movie theater.

Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can listen to a source in a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

STD (Standard):

Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater, however, in a level proper for listening to in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard as well because they will be lost among noises in your environment.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) technology also makes it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data.

In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital

(AC-3) is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening.

MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than in the

STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source in extremely low level.

3. LFE LEVEL (Adjusting the output level at the LFE

(low frequency effect) channel)

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB step)

Preset value: 0 dB

* This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital (AC-3) is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the

Dolby Digital (AC-3) contain LFE signals.

Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals at other channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signal level to the level of other signals are adjusted. (See page 6 for details about the LFE channel.)

This unit allows you to switch the input mode only for sources connected to the DVD/LD and TV/DBS input jacks (on the rear of this unit) that input two or three types of signals to this unit.

The following two input modes are provided.

AUTO: For the source connected to the DVD/LD input jacks:

This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the power of this unit. In this mode, input signal is automatically selected by the following order of priority.

1. Digital input signal from the OPTICAL jack

2. Digital input signal from the COAXIAL jack

3. Analog input signal

For the source connected to the TV/DBS input jacks:

This mode is automatically selected when you turn on the power of this unit if the “AUTO” position is selected on “8.

INPUT MODE” in the SET MENU mode. (See page 37 for details.) In this mode, input signal is automatically selected by the following order of priority.

1. Digital input signal from the OPTICAL jack

2. Digital input signal from the COAXIAL jack

3. Analog input signal

ANALOG:

In this mode, only analog input signal is selected even though digital signal is input at the same time.

Select this mode when you want to use the analog input signal instead of the digital input signal.

NOTE: For the TV/DBS source only, the input mode selected on the function “8. INPUT MODE” in the SET MENU mode is selected when you turn on the power of this unit.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SOUND FIELD PROGRAMS

The following list gives brief descriptions of the sound fields produced by each of the DSP programs. Keep in mind that most of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for them was recorded at the locations described using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.

* The channel level balance between the left rear speaker and the right rear speaker may vary depending on the sound field you are listening to. This is due to the fact that most of these sound field recreations are actual acoustic environments.

LEARNING NEW CONTROL FUNCTIONS

(When the lid is open)

This is a learning remote control unit. The shaded keys in the illustration shown right can be programmed to “learn” control functions from other remote control units. By learning keyfunctions from other remote control unit, this unit can then be used in place of one or more other remote control units, thus making operation of your various audio and video components more convenient.

Some of the “learning-capable” keys are originally empty and others have already been preset with functions to control this unit and other Yamaha components. You can store new functions to them (in place of preset functions) as desired.

* See pages 61 to 62 for the learning method.

* See pages 64 to 65 for clearing a learned function (or all learned functions).

NOTE

If the memory capacity of the remote control unit becomes full, no further learning is possible even if some learning-capable keys are not occupied with new functions. If, for example, you store only

Yamaha codes into this remote control unit, up to about 50 functions can be stored. Store new functions to the learnablecapable keys which are useful for you.

Empty keys (

1 , 2

)

These are empty keys. Each key can learn a function from another remote control unit.

For example, the TV key is useful for storing the function of your

TV’s power switch, and the VCR key can be used for your VCR’s power switch.

NOTE

If a key which has a preset function learns a new function, the preset function will not be deleted, but disabled. When the learned function is cleared, the preset function is restored. (For information on clearing a learned function, refer to pages 64 to 65.)

About the lighting of keys

When you press an input selector key, it lights up for about 3 seconds.

When an input selector key in the group of selected memory area (A, B or C) is pressed, the mark of key group (

1

–

3

) which is the same as the mark of the selected input selector key lights up for about 3 seconds.

Example)

About the marks shown on the remote control unit

The marks on the remote control unit signify functions of keys, input sources, etc.

Examples)

(tape):

(disc):

Shows tape deck, VCR, etc.

Shows CD player, LD player, etc.

(radio wave): Shows tuner, TV/BS tuner, etc.

These marks are helpful for storing new functions.

Examples)

• The area B of keys 1 is suitable for storing functions to control your VCR.

• The area B of keys 3 is suitable for storing functions to control your TV/BS tuner.

NOTES

• If the OPERATION CONTROL keys substitute for keys which has no function (empty), no command is carried out.

According to your plan, store functions from other remote control units into an empty area of those keys. (Refer to pages

61 to 62 for the learning method.)

• While playing an audio/video unit, if you want to operate another unit by using the remote control unit (for example, if you want to rewind a tape on your VCR while listening to a CD), you should open the lid of the remote control unit and use the

A/B/C switch and the corresponding keys.

(If you press an input selector key with the lid closed to change the functions of the OPERATION CONTROL keys to the functions for controlling a VCR, the input of currently playing

CD source is canceled.)

About the lighting of keys

When an input selector key is pressed, the pressed key and only the available OPERATION CONTROL keys (which substitute for the keys stored with the preset functions or learned functions) light up for about 3 seconds. So you can know what keys are available at a glance.

TUNER

Conversely, when an OPERATION CONTROL key is pressed, all of the available OPERATION CONTROL keys and the currently selected input selector key light up.

MACRO OPERATIONS (When the lid is closed)

“Macro” is a command which defines a sequence of several operations.

The keys shown in the right illustrations (as “preset macro keys”) are also preset with macros, in addition to individual functions.

Each macro key is preset so that simply pressing it alone will carry out several functions of other keys on this remote control unit sequentially. (To know what key functions are sequentially carried out by pressing each preset macro key, see the next page.)

Macros can be used only when the lid is closed and the

MACRO switch is set to “SLOW” or “QUICK”. (If “OFF” is selected, no macro will function even if the lid is closed.)

Preset macro keys are originally preset with macros. If you prefer, however, you can change the contents of a macro key by storing a desired series of functions on it. You can store up to seven functions onto a macro key. (See page 63 for the learning method.)

Setting the MACRO switch

OFF: In this position, no macro will function even if the lid of remote control unit is closed.

QUICK: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 0.5 second intervals.

SLOW: In this position, when a macro key is pressed, each command is transmitted at 3 second intervals.

NOTES

• A key in which no function is stored will carry out no command.

• If it occurs that this unit will not receive the second command because the internal operation of the first command takes a long time, set the MACRO switch to the “SLOW” position, or add no function or repeat the same command between the first command and the next command.

• If you will program the power on/off switching function of TV,

VCR, etc. as part of a macro sequence, note that it switches the current mode to the other (“on” to “off”, or “off” to “on”).

For example, when you press the macro key, if the power of TV,

VCR, etc. is already on, the power will be turned off even though you may not want it to do so.

• Once you press a macro key, this unit will not receive the command of another key (even if it is pressed) until this unit finishes carrying out all commands of the macro key. Take notice of this especially when the MACRO switch is in the

“SLOW” position.

• Once you press a macro key, you must keep the remote control unit directed at the main unit’s remote control sensor until the remote control unit finishes transmitting all command signals of the macro key.

• You can use the OPERATION CONTROL keys also while using the macro functions.

7. When you finish the learning operation, press the LEARN button.


NOTES

• Newly learned functions will replace previously learned functions.

• If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash rapidly. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with functions from other remote control units, no further learning is possible.

• If the lid is closed while learning and about 5 seconds pass, the

TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator flashes rapidly and the mode before you began learning operations is restored. If this occurs, restart from step 2. However, if the lid is opened within 5 seconds, the mode before the lid was closed is restored.

• There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote control unit, this remote control unit will not be able to “learn” its signals.

MAKING A NEW MACRO

A new macro can be programmed onto any preset macro key in place of preset functions. (See page 58 to know what keys are preset macro keys.) You can make as many as 13 new macro keys. A macro key can learn as many as seven functions of other keys.

NOTE

If you store a continuous command such as lowering of volume level, it will become a short command when it is carried out as a part of macro.
