User manual JENSEN JER-321

[. . . ] Although the RCP 3 operates both products, along with a host of other products you may have added to your system, this manual describes a few differences from the original remotes. The most significant is the addition of EzSet, an automatic speaker-level calibration process that enables the receiver to perform properly without your having to supply additional metering devices or perform a tedious calibration procedure. IMPORTANT NOTE: The instructions in this manual on running the EzSet procedure take the place of Step Four of the Initial Setup process described in the AVR 144 manual. Although you may still calibrate the speakers manually if you so desire, we strongly recommend that you first use the more convenient and simpler EzSet process. [. . . ] To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote, firmly press the ridged depression and slide the cover towards the top of the remote. Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 1, making sure to observe the correct polarity. Figure 1 ­ Remote Battery Compartment When using the remote, remember to point the lens toward the front panel of the AVR 144 or DVD 27. Make sure no objects, such as furniture, are blocking the remote's path. Bright lights, fluorescent lights and plasma video displays may interfere with the remote's functioning. The remote has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lighting conditions. It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either side of the component. If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button on the remote does not cause the AVR Selector or one of the Input Selectors to light up, then make sure the batteries have been inserted correctly, or replace all three batteries with fresh ones. 8 PROGRAMMING SOURCES Programming Sources The RCP 3 remote is capable of controlling not only the receiver and DVD player included in your CP system, but it may also be programmed to control many brands and models of VCRs, DVD players, CD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, cassette decks and TVs. In order to access the functions for a particular device, you first need to turn to that page. This is done by pressing the AVR Button to access the codes that control the receiver, or the Input Selector buttons to access the codes for the devices programmed into the remote. At the factory, the codes to control the AVR 144 and DVD 27 are preprogrammed. If you have other source devices in your system, such as a VCR, or a cable or satellite television set-top box, follow these steps to program the correct codes into the remote. NOTE: When you enter a valid 3-digit code, the Program Indicator LED will change color to green. However, entering an invalid code changes the color of the LED to red. Once you have accepted a code, it's a good idea to try using some other functions to control the device. Sometimes manufacturers use the same Power code for several different models, while other 9 USING EzSET Using EzSet This section replaces Step Four in the Initial Setup section of the AVR 144 owner's guide. An essential step in setting up your multichannel audio/video receiver is calibrating the channel output levels so that they all sound equally loud at the listening position. This sets a baseline, enabling the director to create a desired mood by moving the dialogue, action and ambient sounds around the soundstage, resulting in a more realistic presentation. EzSet takes the guesswork out of the manual process described in the AVR 144 owner's guide, replacing multiple steps with a simple button press. By now you should have connected all of your speakers and sources and your video display. You should have turned on the receiver and used the Manual Setup menus to program each of your speakers as Large or Small. Sit in the listening position with the remote control, and make sure to eliminate external noises for the few minutes needed to run the EzSet procedure. Use the volume control buttons on the remote to adjust the volume to ­15dB. [. . . ] Macros are well-suited for power on and off commands, or to send out a favorite multidigit channel number with one button press, or to have the ability to send out a code sequence to control another device while the remote is operating one device but with more flexibility than the built-in punchthrough controls. Some commands may not be programmed into macros: Mute, Dim, Channel Up/Down, any of the surround mode commands. It isn't possible to program a pause or delay before sending commands after Power On, and the component may not be ready to respond to commands instantaneously after powering on. Simultaneously press one of the four Macro Buttons or the Power On Button and the Mute Button at the same time to enter program mode. [. . . ]
