ENGLISH

Continuing along, re-write the remaining letters “V”, “–”, “5”, “2”,
and “0”. By pressing the cursor keys and , each character is
confirmed in place. When you go to other DIRECT function
pages by using the page function keys

, characters in the

previous page are also confirmed in place.
The name re-writing operation must be done on a function by
function basis, that is, re-write the names for all of the

direct

functions, then switch to another function such as VCR, and
begin the re-writing process anew to re-name the

VCR

direct

function commands. After completing all re-writing of any of the
names, press the

button within the cursor keys

⁄6

How to re-write the STATUS name:

Using the same steps as outlined above, you can re-write the 9
character status name. During step 5 above, by pressing the up and
down cursor keys

⁄6

the left side of the status indicator begins

blinking, and you can change its display according to the same
method outlined above, using the 10 keypad character generator.
Remember, to confirm each character change, use the cursor keys
and . As above, when you change the direct function page by
pressing the page direction keys

, this will confirm the re-written

characters in place as well for the page you just finished re-naming.
You have up to 9 letters, numbers or other characters available for
each status name.

How to re-write the DIRECT function button names:

You can change the name for each of the 8 direct function buttons by
using the steps described above to change main function name and
status name. Remember, each main function has 8 direct function
buttons on each of the 4 pages, so you have up to 32 direct functions
that can be re-named, if you wish, for each of the 11 main function
selection buttons

. You have up to 4 characters available for each

direct function button name.
After completing all re-writing of any of the names, press the

button within the cursor keys

⁄6

, or switch to another function button

(such as CD). If, during re-naming, a button has not been pressed for
1 minute, the RC-18SR will revert to the prior operating mode (USE)
automatically.
If re-writing of all of the desired direct mode functions has been
completed, use the tip of a paper clip to press the operation

MODE

button

, and select the “USE” mode. Now, all of the re-written

names are available for use.

How to clear (erase) the memorized codes

(and any re-written names):

The RC-18SR has a high capacity RAM, which ordinarily will allow the
learning of several hundred remote codes (and their associated new
names, if desired). However, due to the fact that some remote codes
occupy more memory space than others, it is possible that the
available RAM fills up completely, and the “FULL” indicator appears
in the LCD window. In this case, it will not be possible to learn any
new remote codes without first deleting some or all of the previously
learned remote codes and/or re-written names. There are 4 ways to
erase learned remote codes from memory:

Erasing by button(s)

Erasing by DIRECT button(s)

Erasing by function(s)

Erasing all memory contents (complete erasure)

••

Note that the factory-programmed RC-5 codes are not stored in
RAM, and are therefore not erasable.

For any of these memory erasure options, you must first set the RC-
18SR to LEARN mode.

Erasing the memory assigned to a particular button:

Press and hold the

CLEAR

button

⁄4

and press the button that you

wish to erase 2 times. The code previously learned by that button will
be erased, and will then be either empty, or the original factory
provided RC-5 code will re-appear in its place.

LOW

USE

NAME

Press and hold the corresponding SIDE-A button on the laser
disc player’s remote transmitter until the head of name blinks in
the RC-18SR LCD window or beep sounds emit. The RC-18SR
changes to the RENAME mode automatically as the next step. A
function name of the

DIRECT

function button blinks, you can

rename this blinking function name. You input the desired letter
or number with the ten keypad. (See the table in step 3 of the next
procedure for referece.) If you need not rename, press the

button or the other buttons except the ten keypad.

Now, proceed to program the other commands from the laser
disc player’s remote transmitter to the other

DIRECT

function

buttons (D2-D8). When you have “taught” all 8 direct functions
for Page 1, press the page direction key

to go to Page 2, and

you can program more direct function keys.

After memorizing all codes to all

DIRECT

function buttons, press

the operation

MODE

button

with the tip of a paper clip and

return the RC-18SR to the USE mode. Now, the newly memorized
codes are usable from the RC-18SR.

If you wish, you can re-write the names for each function name, status
name, and the direct function command names as follows:
For our example, you can change the LCD display window indication
from “LD” to “LV-520” (which is the model number for a Marantz laser
disc player). Remember, you can re-name a function selector button
with a new name of up to six characters of letters and numbers in any
combination.

Using the tip of a paper clip, press the operation

MODE

button

until the NAME indicator appears and begins to blink in the LCD
window.

Choose a button that you wish to re-name, in this case, press the
“

” function button

. In the LCD window, the first character of

the six function character display indicators starts blinking “A”,
which is the first letter of the alphabet if you press “1” button
twice.

Choose the desired letter or number by pressing the 10 keypad
buttons

⁄2

. Each 10 keypad button has 4 characters attached to

it as follows:

10 keypad button

Press, press again, press again, etc.

So, in the above example, by pressing the 10 keypad number 4 four
times, you get the letter “L” to appear in the display (see Figure 4).

Figure 4

You use the cursor buttons and

⁄6

to move to the next

character in the display. By pressing the right cursor button ,
the letter “L” is confirmed in the first character space in the LCD
window and the next character position begins blinking. If you
wish to erase a previously memorized character, position the
cursor over the character and put the SPACE character in its
place (the SPACE character is ten keypad number 0 pressed four
times, from the above character chart).
