Using the remote controller with your other AV
components
Entering the manufacturer’s code (RC-518M
only)
If you’re using an Onkyo CD player connected to the HT-R420’s
z
connector, an Onkyo AV component without an z
connection, or an AV component made by another manufacturer,
do the following.
When you operate an AV component, you point the remote
controller at the AV component, not the HT-R420.
1. Determine the appropriate manufacturer’s code
from the list on the next page.
Where several codes are listed, try the first one, and if that
doesn’t work, try the others until you find one that does.
2. Turn on the AV component that you want to be
able to control (e.g., CD, DVD, or TV).
Next you must assign the AV component to one of the remote
controller’s mode buttons. Note that you must do step 4 within
10 seconds of step 3.
3. While holding down the remote controller’s
VCR, TV, CABLE/SAT, or CD/DVD button, press
the ENT button.
For the CD/DVD button, you can enter a CD code or DVD
code, not both. And for the CABLE/SAT button, a Cable code
or Satellite code, not both.
4. Within 10 seconds, use the remote controller’s
number buttons to enter the manufacturer’s
code.
5. Check to see if you can control the AV
component from the remote controller.
If it works as expected, the code has been entered correctly. If
not, go back to step 3 and try again.
Note that with some manufacturer’s AV components, some of
the remote controller’s buttons may not work as expected.
By default, the CD/DVD button is set to code 316, which is for
use with an z-compatible Onkyo DVD player connected to
the HT-R420’s z connector. To control an z-compatible
Onkyo CD player connected to the HT-R420’s z connector,
you must enter code 300. To control an Onkyo DVD player
without an z connection, you must enter either code 301 or
313. The CD/DVD button can be used with only one AV
component.
Connecting your Onkyo CD player, Onkyo DVD player, or Onkyo
cassette recorder to the HT-R420’s z connector allows you to
control it with the HT-R420’s remote controller. Since you only
need to point the remote controller at the HT-R420, you can control
components that are out of sight, for example, in a cabinet. Since
you don’t have to enter any special codes, or do any programming,
z
allows you to control your Onkyo AV components quickly and
easily. See page 16 for connection information.
