Quick Start Guide

1 Load the Batteries

2 Press Main to Start

3 Select what you want

4 Special features on screen

Turn the R50 over. Open the battery cover on the back by pressing the release and pulling back
the cover. Remove the cover.

When you press the MAIN button, you can see the most frequently
used devices in your home theater.

Press any of the Screen Buttons to select the device displayed on
the screen.

Once you’ve selected the device you want to operate, the title bar
displays the custom title you create for the device.

Setting Up Your R50

Observe the + and - polarity indications inside the battery compartment.
Place the four AA Alkaline batteries into their positions in the battery compartment, observing the +
and - polarity indicators on the
batteries.
Now, replace the battery cover by
inserting the hinged end in first,
then snapping the cover back into
place.

Press either of the PAGE buttons to see other Screen buttons for this
device. Any of the buttons can be custom labeled.

Press either of the PAGE buttons to see any other available choices.

5 Navigate Menus

6 Enter Numbers

7 Play, Stop, Pause...

8 Change Channels

9 Simple Sound

Now, all the buttons on the R50 control the selected device.
The 4 way cursor buttons enable you to navigate on-screen guides
and menus with ease.

The Number keypad will enter numbers for the activity you’ve
selected. Thus, for watching Cable TV, you use the number keypad
to enter channel numbers, while when listening to CD, the number
keypad enters track numbers.

The transport buttons (Play, Stop, Skip-, Skip+, FF, REW and Pause)
operate when the selected activity requires them (for example, if
you watch CABLE TV with a TiVo type of DVR, these buttons will
control the built-in DVR, while if you are watching a DVD, these
buttons will control the DVD player).

The Channel and Previous Channel buttons will change channels
when you have selected an activity like Watch CABLE TV or
Watch SAT TV .

The Volume and Mute buttons always control the sound regardless
of what screen is displayed. This is setup by using Copy and Paste
to copy the commands from your TV or Audio system to the
Volume and Mute buttons on all of your other devices.

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.

Press and Hold the MAIN button for three seconds to enter Setup
Mode

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.

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.

The other menu selections in Setup include:

Some tips if you use the learn feature:

Your
Label

1. Start with the remotes about an inch apart pointed at
each other (head to head) as shown here:

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.

You cannot move icons or re-arrange them. However, you can
delete devices and recreate them in another position.

7 Simple Sound via Copy

8 What’s a Macro?

9 What’s a favorite channel?

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.

Practice turning off the system by pressing MAIN, selecting a
device, then pressing the OFF button. Repeat this with all of your
devices.

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.

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

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.

2. Put brand new alkaline batteries in the original remote
control, even if it appears to work at extreme range
now.

Now, use the UP and DOWN cursor buttons and the SEL button to
select Basic Setup, then Search the Database.

VCR

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.
