You operate devices using two kinds of buttons:
Touchscreen buttons
Hard buttons - nine buttons below the screen (Home is not pro-
grammable and doesn
’
t count) and five to the right of the screen
(Vol, Channel and Mute).
Using Touchscreen Buttons
Sending commands
Infrared commands are invisible. However, when you send a com-
mand, an animated icon appears at the top of the panel to show
that a command is being sent.
The name of the device you are controlling is always displayed on
the device menu tab.
Using the Hard Buttons
Hard buttons can be operated at any time, even without turning on
the touchscreen. These buttons can be programmed to always do
the same thing regardless of the panel displayed (teach commands
on Home Panel) or they can change their function depending on
which device is active (teach commands only to the specific devi-
ce). For example:
Since Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute are typically
receiver/preamp commands in most home theaters, these direct
access buttons have been pre-programmed to always operate a
Marantz receiver/preamp. Should you own another brand, see the
programming instructions on page 31-32. Menu, 4 Way Arrows,
Channel Up and Channel Down are typically programmed to chan-
ge with the device selected. So when you are operating your DVD
player, you use them to navigate DVD menus and change chapters,
while when you are watching TV, the Menu buttons operate the TV
menus and the Channel buttons change channels.
