8 Before Using the TX-NR901 The Worldwide model has a voltage selector for compat-ibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area. If it isn’t, use a small screwdriver to set it as appropriate. For example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts, set the selector to “120V.” And if it’s between 220 and 230 volts, set it to “220-230V.” Notes: • The batteries should last for about six months, although this will vary with usage.• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing the batteries.• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries.•If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.•Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.To use the remote controller, point it at the TX-NR901’s remote control sensor, as shown below. Notes: • The remote controller may not work reliably if the TX-NR901 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing.•If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the TX-NR901 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-ler may not work reliably.•Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-ently, thereby draining the batteries.• The remote controller may not work reliably if the TX-NR901 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing.•The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-cle between it and the TX-NR901’s remote control sensor. Setting the Voltage Selector (Worldwide model only)Installing the Batteries 1 To open the battery compartment, press the small hollow and slide off the cover. 2 Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6) in accordance with the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment. 3 Put the cover onto the remote controller and slide it shut.FM75OUTOUTOUTOUTLOUTPHONODIGITALINPRE OUTDIGITALOUTOPTOPT2123412FRONTSUBSURRRLAUDIORLCDTAPERLAUDIO VIDEO S VIDEOMONITOROUTRLINININININININZONE 2DVDVIDEO 1VIDEO 2VIDEO 3VIDEO 4AUDIO AUDIO VIDEO S VIDEO13GNDSURR BACK/ ZONE 2RLINAC INLETCOAXRZONE 2REMOTECONTROLRS232I R12V TRIGGER OUTINCENTERETHERNET(Net -Tune)RLMULTI CHINPUTFRONTSUBSURRSURRBACKCENTERRLAMANTENNACOMPONENTVIDEOYPBPROUTPUTINPUT 1YPBPRINPUT 2YPBPRVOLTAGESELECTOR220-230V120VTX-NR901MODEL NO. / SURRBACK/ ZONE 2SPEAKERSFRONT SPEAKERS LRL RSURR SPEAKERSCENTERSPEAKERRLVOLTAGESELECTOR220-230V120V Using the Remote Controller30˚ 30˚TX-NR901Approx. 16 ft.

94 Using the Remote Controller with Other Components —Continued You can teach the TX-NR901’s remote controller new commands simply by transmitting commands from another remote controller one at time. For example, by transmitting the Play and Stop commands from your CD player’s remote controller, the TX-NR901’s remote con-troller can be taught to transmit those commands when its Play [ ] and Stop [ ] buttons are pressed in CD mode. Note: • The following buttons cannot be taught new com-mands: [LIGHT], [CUSTOM], [MACRO], [MODE], [INPUT], [ZONE 2], and the scroll wheel button. Learning Commands from Another Remote Controller 1 Press and hold the [CUSTOM] button for more than three sec-onds. The remote controller enters Custom mode. 2 Roll the scroll wheel to select LEARN, and then press the scroll wheel. 3 Roll the scroll wheel to select the the remote controller mode you want to teach a new command, and then press the scroll wheel. The following remote controller modes can be selected: DVD, TV, VCR, CBL, or SAT. 4 On the TX-NR901’s remote con-troller, press the button you want to teach the new command. If you press a button that cannot be taught a new command, the message “RETRY” appears and you should press another button. 5 Point the remote controllers at each other, about 2 to 6 inches (5–15 cm) apart, and then, on the other remote controller, press the button whose command you want to learn. When the command has been learnt successfully, “OK” appears on the dis-play. You may need to press the button several times.If the command is not learnt success-fully, after the message “FAIL” has been displayed, the mode select display reappears (step 3), and you should try again. 6 To teach the TX-NR901’s remote controller more new commands, repeat steps 3 through 5. Press the [CUSTOM] button when you’ve finished. 7_Appendix_En Page 94 Monday, September 8, 2003 4:03 PM
