performance tests. Only then can a product feature the
THX Select logo, which is your guarantee that the
Home Theatre products you purchase will give you
superb performance for many years to come. THX
Select requirements define hundreds of parameters,
including power amplifier performance, and pre-ampli-
fier performance and operation for both digital and ana-
log domains. THX Select receivers also feature
proprietary THX technologies (e.g., THX Mode) which
accurately translate film soundtracks for home theater
playback.

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.

Using the Remote Controller with Other Components
You can use the TX-NR901’s remote controller (RC-
549M) to control your other AV components, including
those made by other manufacturers. To do this you can:
• Enter a remote control code for the component that
you want to control (e.g., DVD, TV, VCR).
•Learn commands directly from the other component’s
remote controller (see page 94).
•Use the Macro function to learn a sequence of actions
(see page 95).
•You can also edit the remote controller modes (see
page 97).
By entering the appropriate remote control code for each
of your components, you can control each component by
selecting the relevant remote controller mode: DVD, TV,
VCR, CBL (cable), or SAT (satellite).

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.
