1 Replace all your remotes! 2 Begin Basic Setup 3 Search the Database 4 R50 is never obsolete! 5 No more remote clutter! 6 After Basic Setup You need to search the database built-in to the R50 for the "code sets" for each of your components. To do that you need to decide what you are going to label each, the brand name and the category. List your choices here, before you start.

In this screen you actually create the MAIN menu for your system. Put the icons for the most used devices on Page 1. If you install a component that is too new to be in the R50's database, you can use the learn feature in Basic Setup to learn each of the commands you need from the original device remote. Some tips if you use the learn feature: 1. Start with the remotes about an inch apart pointed at each other (head to head) as shown here: You cannot move icons or re-arrange them. However, you can delete devices and recreate them in another position. 9 What's a favorite channel? 2. Put brand new alkaline batteries in the original remote control, even if it appears to work at extreme range now. 3. When the R50 says READY, press and hold the button you want to teach. Release it when the R50 says GOOD. 10 Relabeling and Hiding Before going on to Advanced Setup, spend a few minutes trying all the buttons on each of your devices. If you need to add a command, use the LEARN feature in Basic Setup to correct. This prompts you to relabel when needed. Once you've verified that you have all the commands, congratulate yourself. You've completed Basic Setup and can put all your old remotes away. Teach the rest of your family how to use the R50: simply press the MAIN button to decide which device you want to control, then press the button you want. After familiarizing yourself with what all your buttons do, utilize Advanced Setup to customize your R50. The other menu selections in Setup include: Advanced Setup: Enables you to customize the R50 in a number of ways. You can copy and paste groups of commands like Volume and Mute, setup macros, customize labels, add/hide pages or buttons and you can erase anything you've done. Favorite Channels: Favorite channels are macros that enable you to tune to a channel with one touch. User Settings: Selecting this option lets you adjust how long the screen or the buttons stay lit. Display Tips: Select this option to turn on or off the built in Setup Tips. Setup Tips are the programming manual for the R50. They appear on the screen in context as you setup any option. USA Limited Warranty In most Home Theaters, the sound is controlled by either the TV speakers or the Surround Sound speakers. It is inconvenient to have to press MAIN then TV, then press the Volume up, Volume Down or Mute buttons. Instead, copy the commands from the TV or AUDIO device to all your other devices. Simple Sound means that you simply press Volume Up, Down or Mute anywhere and your sound volume changes. Select Copy and Paste from the Advanced Setup menu to setup Simple Sound convenience. Note: The Copy and Paste feature is not limited to volume and can also be applied to channel or other functions. If you find yourself switching to a particular device frequently to use a group of controls, consider using Copy and Paste for another group, as listed here: VOL - Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute CH - Channel Up, Channel Down and Prev. Channel PLAY - Play, Stop, Pause, Rewind and Fast Forward MENU - Guide, Menu, Info, Exit, Up, Down, Left, Right, Sel NUMBERS - The number keypad including ENT and ./-. POWER ON- The Power On Button only POWER OFF- The Power Off Button only Practice turning off the system by pressing MAIN, selecting a device, then pressing the OFF button. Repeat this with all of your devices. Note that you have to press three buttons for each device to turn it off. Wouldn't it be easier to simply press MAIN, then OFF and watch all of your devices turn off, one after another? That's what a macro does. You specify that when a particular button is pressed, a whole sequence of commands goes out, one at a time. To setup a macro, practice with the R50 first. You need to record each step you make, so familiarize yourself with the routine then try recording it. If the routine is complicated, don't worry. The R50 can record up to 255 steps to one button as a Macro. Just write it down first, so that it is easy for you to record. Remembering channel numbers for all your favorite channels is a chore you don't need. In a few minutes, you can record macros that enter the channel number, the enter button (or the ./- button) just as you do. The R50 can record up to 48 favorite channels. Tip: If you don't see the channel logo for one of your favorites, just use one of the blank colored icons and type in the name of the channel. Remember that through the power of the R50s Advanced Setup features you can re-label any button anywhere. If you want to further simplify your R50, consider Hiding any button you never use. In fact, via the Add/Hide Pages and Buttons feature in Advanced Setup, you can hide entire pages of commands to make finding the right button faster. Anytime you change your mind, simply return to Add/Hide and add the button or page back in.
