Setting Up Your LCD Remote Controller
Your new LCD Remote is a powerful controller that you can easily set up to remotely control a
Kenwood receiver as well as all of the IR-controllable audio and video components in your
entertainment system. The remote's macro capabilities make it easy for you to perform com-
plex operations by touching a single button.
Before you can use your remote to control any of your system's components you first must
program it. Programming the remote to control components will be described later in this
chapter.
Installing the Batteries
Before you can set up any remote control unit item, you need to install batteries.
· The batteries that came with your new remote control unit are intended for an operation
check--they may not last as long as alkaline batteries. We recommend replacing them with
batteries for normal use.
To install the batteries:
1. Slide down the battery
cover as shown by the fig-
ure to remove it.
2. Insert four AA(R6) batteries
with the correct polarity.
Then close the battery cover.
When the remote control range reduces or the Low Battery indicator (
) flashes on the
LCD screen, replace all of the four batteries at the same time as described above.
Resetting the Remote
The Remote Control unit can be reset in two ways
To reset the remote without clearing the setups:
· Remove the batteries then reload them again.
This resets the Remote Control unit but the speaker setup and device setup remain
unchanged.
To reset everything and initialize the remote to
the factory condition:
1. Remove the batteries.
2. While holding the
(function up) button and
button
simultaneously, load the batteries.
This operation resets all of the setups made by you.

Changing the RF Transmission Frequency
The RF remote function may be affected by radio interference, etc. If this happens, you can
change the RF transmission frequency.
To change the RF remote transmission frequency:
1. Open the battery cover on the rear.
2. Change the RF switch setting.
After changing remote control's RF frequency, you also must change the receiver's RF recep-
tion frequency.
3. To change the receiver's RF reception frequency.
· Press and hold the RF BAND button (TAPE2/CD2 /MONITOR button) behind the receiver's
front panel door for more than 2 seconds. Each time you do this, the RF reception frequen-
cy switches between RF Band 1 and RF Band 2. Select the same band as the position num-
ber of the remote's RF switch.
Remote Controllable Range
Your LCD remote transmits RF signals to the receiver, and the receiver sends IR signals back
to the remote.
The remote's range is about 20 ft
provided there are no obstacles
(see illustration to right).
The remote transmits an infrared
signal in addition to an RF signal.
When RF operation is not possi-
ble because of radio wave condi-
tions, you can aim the remote
towards the receiver and use it as
a conventional infrared remote
control.
Since the LCD remote uses
infrared signals to control other
A/V components and devices,
aim it towards the respective
unit.
The following factors can maximize the performance of your LCD remote:
1. Position the receiver's RF antenna to achieve maximum RF range.
2. Do not position the receiver near metal (such as heat ducts). Metal can absorb RF signals.

3. Do not install the receiver where direct sunlight or high-frequency fluorescent lighting can
shine directly into the infrared remote sensor. This can limit the remote's operating range.
4. Make sure that the remote's range is not being affected by other radio frequency transmis-
sions.
5. Do not block the IR transmitter on the remote or on the receiver's front panel . Even a brief
blockage of the transmission (such as someone walking by) can cause the communication
and feedback to become temporarily erratic. If this happens, press the CONFIRM/SHIFT
button on the remote and it will resume normal operation (you might need to reenter the
interrupted command).
6. When the remote's operating range gets shorter or the low battery indicator (
) flashes
on its LCD display, replace all 4 batteries:
Programming the LCD Remote to Control Other Components
Your LCD remote can be programmed to control almost any IR-controllable audio-video source
component and television. If the component's code is not already part of the remote's exten-
sive library, you can use the remote's Learn feature to teach the component's commands to
it. You can also use the Learn function to expand the control capabilities of components with
existing codes.
1. Press the MUSIC or MOVIE button.
The display will show:
2. Press `Menu'. The display will show:
3. Press `Setup'. The display will show:
4. Use the
and
buttons to select "01:
IR", and press `Enter'. The display will show
a list of the receiver's input jack sets:
5. Use the
and
buttons to select one
of the receiver's jack sets that has a com-
ponent connected to it, and press `Enter'.
The display will show a list of component
types:
6. Use the
and
buttons to select the
type of component connected to that jack
set, then press `Enter'. The display will
show a list of brands:

7. Use the
and
buttons to select the
component's brand, then press `Enter'.
· If the manufacturer of your component is
not listed, select `Nothing' and press
`Enter. You can program the component's
functions using the remote's Learning
capability (see below).
The display will show a list of control codes
for your component:
8. Select the first control code on the list.
· If the component is a Kenwood component
connected to the receiver via a System
Control cable, select `System'. The remote
will send all commands for the component
to the receiver, which will control the com-
ponent via the System Control cable.
9. Press the remote's AV POWER button.
The remote will send a "power" test signal to
the component. If the component turns on,
the code you selected was correct. If it does
not turn on, try the next code on the list.
Continue until one of the codes works. If
none of the codes work, you can program the
component's functions using the remote's
Learning capability.
· If you entered `System' in step 8, skip this
step.
10. When you have finished step 9 the
remote's LCD display reverts to step 4.
Repeat steps 4 through 9 for each compo-
nent you want the LCD Remote to control.
Changing a Setup Code
If you replace an existing component with a
new one you will need to perform steps 1 -
10 to program the remote to control the new
component.
Deleting a Setup Code
If you disconnect a component from the sys-
tem and do not replace it, you can remove its
control code from the remote.
1. Repeat steps 1 - 6 above.
2. In step 6, select "No Type" or "Delete".
· If you select "No Type", the input will still
appear when you select inputs using the
remote's MUSIC, MOVIE or TV buttons, but
no component is associated with it.
· If you select "Delete", the remote deletes the
input, and it does not appear when you
select inputs using the remote's MUSIC,
MOVIE or TV buttons.
Programming a Function in
a Button (Learning)
Your LCD remote can learn functions from
almost any standard IR remote. The remote
can learn commands to control a component
that couldn't be successfully programmed in
the previous section, and the remote can
learn codes to extend the functions of com-
ponents that were suc-
cessfully programmed.
· The remote can learn
new functions onto
the buttons marked
gray in the illustration:
· The remote can learn
a different set of
functions for each
component that has
been identified to the
remote in steps 1 -
10 of the previous
section). See pages
9 - 14 for the button
layouts of the various
types of components.
