OTHER FUNCTIONS
The Marantz RC-18SR includes the ability to tailor the lighting
features according to your preferences. As supplied from the
factory, the RC-18SR has lighting features (and lighting timings):
The lighting time is set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds
which you can change if you prefer a different lighting time. If you
wish to maximize battery life, you can de-active the lighting
function entirely.
There is also a lighting button
¤0
, so that in any light situation, you
can activate the backlighting feature. The lighting time in this case
is set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds, which you can also
change. If you wish to conserve battery power, you can de-
activate the lighting function entirely.
RC-5 Shipped destination:
As mentioned earlier in this guide, the RC-18SR is provided with
many commands from the factory with infrared codes conforming to
the Philips RC-5 remote control language (used by Marantz, Philips,
and some other companies). We have provided two different RC-5
command code sets in the RC-18SR, due to the local requirements of
different markets and the different types of remote control codes
used in those markets. One code set is for North American (USA)
users, while the other code set is for REST users. Your RC-18SR has
been set at the factory for USA (United States) codes. It can be easily
changed, if you wish.
Set-Up:
To change the lighting time(s), or the destination setting, please
follow these steps:
n
Select the SETUP mode, by holding the
MEMO
button
⁄3
and at
the same time pressing the
OK
button within the cursor keys
⁄6
.

LAMP - Lighting function ON or OFF and TIME
Press the D-5 direct function button, and you can then set the
time (in seconds) directly using the numeric key pad
⁄2
buttons.
A time figure consisting of only 1 digit can be input by pressing
the figure then waiting for 2 seconds or input “0” before entering a
desired digit. You can set time in the range from 0 up to 60
seconds (More time would use up more battery life than fewer
seconds). “2” is set when shipped from the factory. To set “OFF”
input “0”.
BEEP sound
The beep sounds when any buttons are pressed except the
AMP
button.
The beep sound level can be set by pressing the
D-6
button. The
display indicates “+” indication and the beeps are sounded by
pressing the
D-6
button. The “+” indication is followed, by
another the “+” indication as the beep sound is increased; +
→
++
→
+++
→
++++
When the “++++” appears, this is the maximum. If the
D-6
button
is pressed once more, it will reset to OFF.
“ ” is indicated in the LCD window when the beep sound is set.
Note:
The beep sound is different between the function buttons and
other buttons.
VER
Press the
D-7
direct function button to switch between USA and
REST.
If you need to change this function, we recommend that you
make the change before you begin “learning” any new infrared
codes for other brands of equipment in your system.
Note:
The name of the
DIRECT
buttons will be erased if the USA/REST
version is pressed.
Battery life:
n
Battery life will vary from user to user, if the remote is used
constantly or only occasionally, including the amount of
backlighting usage. We feel that you can expect the
batteries to last about 4 months, based upon 15 remote
control operations per day (every day), and 3 lighting
operations per day (every day). If the remote is used more
often, and if the lighting times are set to longer times than
the factory settings, then the battery life may be shortened
somewhat.
n
As explained earlier in the guide, the RC-18SR’s
sophisticated battery conservation system will advise you
long before the battery power is fully exhausted, and will
further warn you to replace the batteries by simply
becoming inoperative at a certain point. The customized
memory contents and user-adjusted settings will still be
retained in memory. When you install a fresh set of
batteries, the memory contents are protected always,
because the RC-18SR uses the non-volatile memory.
Alkaline (and the newer lithium) types are recommended for
longest battery life.
As you become more familiar over time with how you are
using the RC-18SR in your A/V system, you may wish to
consider reducing the lighting time(s) if possible, as this
can help to extend the battery life.
Adjustment of the LCD contrast
n
The LCD contrast can be adjusted as follows;
Enter SETUP mode of the RC-18SR by pressing the MEMO
and OK button. Press the VOL+ to increase the LCD
contrast. Press the VOL - to decrease the LCD contrast.
Press the OK buttons to end this setting and return the
original operation.
