2 Way Remote Operations

Understanding the 2 way remote system

This commander operates under a 2 way remote system. With the 2 way remote system, the component responds to signals sent from the commander by sending additional signals (information about the status of the component, text data, etc.) back to the commander. Thus, operations are performed as a result of communication between the commander and the component.

When using a home entertainment system comprised of several components compatible with the 2 way remote system, please restrict 2 way remote system operation to a single component. Generally, the 2 way remote system is turned off on all components except for the amplifier/receiver.

If you would like to turn off the amplifier/ receiver's 2 way remote system, refer to "Setting up the 2 way remote" in the operating instructions supplied with the amplifier/ receiver.

Operation example

When a 2 way component is connected to the amplifier/receiver with a Control A1/A1I cord

When operating the 2 way CD changer directly

Notes for the 2 way remote operation

• To ensure good communication conditions, carry out the 2 way remote operation from directly in front of, and close to the component.

• Do not move the component during the 2 way remote operation.
• The commander receives and displays data transmitted from the component. Communication errors may occur if the commander's transmitter/ receiver section is not directed properly toward the component's IR receptor. Be sure to point the commander's transmitter/receiver section towards the component's IR receptor.
