FUNCTION
These buttons select either the source component that you
wish to operate or the input that will be selected on the
preamp or receiver. This is accomplished by the use of a
single or double click.
To simply operate a source
component without changing the input on the receiver or
preamp, click that source component’s function button once.
To change the input on the receiver or preamp, click twice.
This offers the ability to cue up a particular CD or maybe a
favorite laser disc without changing the source that you are
listening to.
For example, to operate the laser disc player, press the
LD
button once. To set the amplifier or receiver to the laser
disc input, press the
LD
button twice.
Once a source has been selected, the transport function
and PAGE keys will directly operate the chosen
component. If you wish, you may even re-program the
status indicators in the LCD window to reflect your own
particular function name whenever that source (function)
button is selected. In addition, the function buttons can be
programmed to activate a macro.
Here are the button names and their functions:
LD
Laser disc player
TV
Television
VCR
Videocassette recorder
DSS/MD
Digital satellite TV decoder or MD
component
AUX
Can be used for an auxiliary source
component
TUNER
AM/FM tuner, or AM/FM tuner section
of a receiver
CD
Compact disc player or changer
TAPE
Audio tape deck, or digital audio
recorder
DVD
DVD Player
AMP
Amplifier or receiver control functions
Remember, when you press a function selector button
once, the RC2000 Mk
w
will not transmit commands to
change the function of amplifier, only change to operate the
functions of the selected source component.
We have provided 10 popular function command selector
buttons, based upon the typical input selections available
with most quality A/V amplifiers (or receivers) including
popular Marantz models.
The function button
DSS/MD
is a little different from the
others, in that, the remote can be configured for either the
US or the rest of the world. When the remote is configured
for the US, the
DSS/MD
button will switch to the DSS input
on the receiver of preamp and will control RCA / GE brand
DSS equipment. If you have another brand of DSS, you can
“teach” the RC2000 Mk
w
with the remote control codes of
your equipment. If the remote is configured for the rest of
the world (discussed later), the
DSS/MD
button will switch
to and issue MD commands.

LCD window
The LCD window provides a wealth of information,
including function selection name,
DIRECT
function names,
learning and programming steps, as well as useful
indicators for battery status, and other indicators. The LCD
window features backlighting, making it easy to view when
the room ambient light is very low.
!1
Volume UP / DOWN
Used to raise and lower the main system volume level. Note
that these buttons are clearly the largest size, and are
conveniently located and contoured for easy operation,
even in low lighting.
!2
Ten Keypad
Like a telephone keypad, the ten number buttons (
0-9
) are
used to enter numeric digits, useful for finding a specific
track on a CD, or to tune a pre-set radio station, etc.
!3
MEMO
This button is used to program your CD player’s track
memory, or to enter a VCR recording program, and can be
used to provide the MEMO function included with other
components in your system.
!4
CLEAR
This button is used to cancel certain memory or
programming operations.
!5
TRANSPORT CONTROL functions
These buttons provide transport commands for your source
components, such as laser disc player, CD player, DVD
player, VCR, audio tape deck, etc., and are dependent on
the function source selected. For example, when the
RC2000 Mk
w
is set to LD (laser disc) mode, the transport
keys will operate the laser disc player’s
PLAY
,
STOP
,
PAUSE
,
FAST FORWARD
,
FAST REVERSE
,
NEXT
and
PREVIOUS
track functions. Change the RC2000 Mk
w
function selector to VCR, and these keys will then operate
the VCR’s transport command functions, etc.
!6
CURSOR buttons
Some components feature menus that are navigated with
up, down, left and right direction commands. The cursor
buttons can be used to navigate within on-screen menus,
for components such as amplifier or receiver, TV set,
DSS/satellite tuner, etc. These buttons are also used for
certain RC2000 Mk
w
programming functions.
!7
MUTE
For those components (such as amplifier or receiver, TV,
etc.) with a mute function, this button can be used to mute
the sound temporarily.
