RC2000 Mk

BASIC OPERATION

USE mode:

As supplied from the factory, the RC2000 Mk

is already

permanently programmed with many pre-set commands
common to Marantz and Philips equipment, as well as other
brands of components that utilize the Philips RC-5 remote
control language.

If the RC2000 Mk

is in another mode (

NAME

LEARN

, etc.), press the operation mode button

with

the tip of a paper clip, until the USE indication
appears.

Press one of the function buttons

to change to another component’s
commands, such as

(refer to

Figure 1). If you wish to change the
receiver or preamplifier’s input
selection to the desired source,
press the function button twice.

“

” will be indicated within the

LCD window, and the function
codes will be set to operate the
laser disc player, and if you double
clicked the

button, the preamplifier or receiver’s

input will be changed as well.

Now you can operate the laser disc player. When a
button is pressed, the symbol indicates that a remote
code is being transmitted.

Using the

DIRECT

buttons

D-1

through

D-8

, PAGEs 1

through 4, up to 32 different specialized commands
are available for each

FUNCTION

, up to a total of 320

specialized commands (32 direct commands times 10
functions). Note that for any particular function
selector, not all 32 direct commands may be provided
and/or named as supplied from the factory.

For example, the RC2000 Mk

is supplied from the

factory with 3 pages of

DIRECT

commands for the

(laser disc) function. To change pages, press the page

At this point, you may wish to put this guide aside
temporarily, and begin using the RC2000 Mk

with your

A/V system. If you already have any Marantz components,
or Philips and/or other brands of components that use the
RC-5 remote control language, you can begin controlling
those components with the RC2000 Mk

right away.

Take some time to become comfortable with the operation
of the RC2000 Mk

. We think that its intuitive keypad

layout and easy to read LCD window will permit you to
quickly become familiar with its operation.
If you do not have any Marantz or other brands of
components that use the Philips RC-5 remote control
language, then you may wish to proceed to the next section.
That section will describe the steps necessary to “teach” your
RC2000 Mk

the remote codes from other components.

PROGRAMMING THE RC2000 Mk

LEARN mode:

The RC2000 Mk

has the ability to learn remote codes for

just about any component in your A/V system. If the original
component was supplied with an infrared remote control, its
commands can be learned by the RC2000 Mk

. If you

have another brand of laser disc player, for example, you
can program the RC2000 Mk

with its codes.

For example, we’ll show you how to “teach” the RC2000
Mk

commands from another brand of laser disc player.

Using a sharp point (such as the tip of a paper clip),
press the operation mode button

. Each time you do

this the mode will change from

USE

LEARN

NAME

. Stop when the

LEARN

indicator starts to blink

Place the laser disc player’s supplied infrared remote
controller so that its transmitter window (usually at the
top) is facing the infrared sensor window of the
RC2000 Mk

(at the bottom), about 5 cm (2 inches)

apart.
