IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and
safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation
precautions which you should be particularly aware of.
11. Grounding or Polarization-This video product is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings-All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions-All operating and use instructions should be
followed.
AC POLARIZED PLUG
5. Cleaning-Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
12. Power-Cord Protection-Power-supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommended by the
video product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
13. Protective Attachment Plug - The appliance is equipped with an
attachment plug having overload protection. This is a safety
feature. See Instruction Manual for replacement or resetting of
protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, be sure
the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by
the manufacturer that has the same overload protection as the
original plug.
7. Water and Moisture-Do not use this video product near water-for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. Accessories-Do not place this video product on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video product may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to
the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video
product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding-If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video product
and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This video product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This video product should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have
been adhered to.
15. Lightning-For added protection for this video product receiver
during a lightning storm, or when it is left un-attended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the video product due to lightning and power-line surges.
10. Power Sources-This video product should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company. For video products
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
16. Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact
with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into this
video product through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the video product.

19. Servicing-Do not attempt to service this video product yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
21. Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock or other hazards.
20. Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this video product from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
22. Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
video product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the video product is in proper operating
condition.
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the video
product.
23. Carts and Stands-The appliance should be used only with a cart
or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.
24. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
d. If the video product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
video product to its normal operation.
e. If the video product has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in
performance-this indicates a need for service.

3. Receiving the remote control codes
OPERATION OF REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
1. Remote control
The distance between the transmitter of the remote control unit and
the IR SENSOR of the SR8000 should be less than about 5 meters. If
the transmitter is pointed to a direction other than the IR SENSOR or if
there is an obstacle between them, remote control may not be
possible.
The RC-18SR can learn most of the remote control codes from various
equipment, it learns the full word length of the code it is receiving.
Due to the sensitivity of the receiving LED the RC-18SR may also
“learn” noise from fluorescent lights, etc. which can quickly fill up the
memory of the RC-18SR.
In order to maximize the memory capacity of the RC-18SR please pay
close attention to the following:
(1) Aim the transmitting remote control at a direct line of sight to
the RC-18SR remote receiver eye.
Remote-controllable range
SR8000
(2) Keep 2 inches between transmitting remote and the RC-18SR
receiving eye.

SPEAKERS SETUP
CENTER : Select the type of center speaker with or button.
The home theater system you already have installed should function
provided that there are left, center and right front speakers, left and
right rear/surround speakers and a subwoofer. For best results we
recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical
or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front
sound stage as the action moves from side to side.
Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80 % of the
dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel.
It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers.
Rear channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel
speakers, but they should be of high quality.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT RC-18SR
FUNCTION AND OPERATION
nThe remote control unit provided with the SR8000 is a
“learning”-type, programmable unit capable of controlling
almost any component in your system, as well as the
Marantz D-BUS components (RC-5). The components to be
controlled can be selected with 11 function buttons.

z MODE (operating mode)
This button is used to change from normal operation to the learning
mode, and is used when “learning” commands from other brands of
A/V components. Each time this button is pressed (using a small
pointed instrument, such as the tip of a paper clip) the mode changes
as follows: LEARN →USE →NAME. As the mode changes, the LCD
display will show which mode is currently selected.
x MACRO (for multiple step macro functions)
This button is used to memorize a series of functions. When this
button is pressed, the RC-18SR changes to macro programming
mode, and is ready to learn a sequence of remote control commands.

Note:
c CLONE
Press a function selector button only once to select the LD player, etc.
Remember, when you press a function selector button only once, the
RC-18SR will not send out a remote control code to instruct the
amplifier or receiver to change to that corresponding input, but the RC-
18SR keypad and DIRECT function commands will provide the
selected component’s specialized remote control codes. Press a
function selector button twice within 2 seconds to change the function
of the amplifier or receiver.
The RC-18SR has the ability to “replicate” itself, downloading all of its
internal pre-programmed and user-programmed commands to another
RC-18SR or RC2000MKII. This button is used when you wish to “teach”
another RC-18SR or RC2000MKII all of the customized commands
you’ve already programmed in this RC-18SR.
v POWER ON and OFF
These two buttons are used to turn the main component’s (amplifier
or receiver) AC power on and off. We provide both ON and OFF
commands so that your A/V system is remote compatible with
external infrared controllers, such as in-wall key pads, and etc.
For example, if you press the LD function button twice within 2
seconds, the amplifier or receiver’s input will immediately be switched
to the laser disc input, and the keypad and DIRECT function
commands for laser disc operation will be activated. Press the CD
function button only once, the amplifier or receiver’s input will not
switch to the CD input, however the RC-18SR keypad and DIRECT
function commands for compact disc operation will be activated.
b SOURCE ON/OFF
This button is used to turn the AC power on and off to any of your A/V
source components that have their own remote control turn-on and
turn-off commands, such as TV, laser disc player, VCR, etc.
We have provided 11 popular function command selector buttons,
based upon the typical input selections available with most quality A/
V amplifiers (or receivers) including popular Marantz models.
n MACRO 1-4
Each of these 4 buttons can be programmed with a “string” of
commands, called a macro, to initiate a sequence of remote codes to
achieve a particular result. For example, a macro button could be
programmed to turn on the main system power, then turn on a particular
source component (such as a laser disc player), then turn on the TV set,
set the TV to AUX video input, and then adjust the surround processor to
the home theater surround decoding mode, then activate the laser disc
player’s PLAY function. This means that by pressing one macro button,
you can achieve the same result as pushing up to 20 buttons in
sequence.
The function button DSS/VCR2 is a little different from the others, in
that when you press this button, the RC-18SR will send out a
command to the amplifier or receiver to switch to the DSS input, and
then the RC-18SR keypad and DIRECT function commands will be
configured for DSS (digital satellite system) control. We have
included DSS commands within the RC-18SR’s pre-programmed
memory for RCA brand DSS equipment. If you have another brand of
DSS, you can “teach” the RC-18SR with the remote control codes of
your equipment.
m DIRECT
⁄
0
LCD window
With today’s high performance A/V systems, it is not unusual for each
component in your system to have dozens of specialized command
functions. If we were to duplicate all of those commands for each
component onto the RC-18SR key pad, we could easily exceed 300
buttons for an entire home theater system, which would result in either
a huge key pad, or buttons of infinitesimal size. The DIRECT command
buttons (4 on each side of the LCD display, 8 total) work with the PAGE
buttons (4 pages for each source component) to provide up to 32
dedicated specialized functions for each of the 11 function input
selectors. Each DIRECT function may also be provided with an alpha-
numeric function indicator visible in the LCD display. You may even
change the displayed name of each function to another name, if you
wish.
The LCD window provides a wealth of information, including function
selection name, DIRECT function names, learning and programming
steps, as well as useful indicators for battery status, and other helpful
indicators. The LCD window features back-lighting, making it easy to
view when the room light is very low.
⁄

Volume up (+) and down (-)
Used to raise and lower the main system volume level. Note that
these buttons are clearly the largest size, and are conveniently
located and contoured for easy operation, even in low lighting.
⁄
2
Ten keypad
Like a telephone key pad, the ten number buttons (0-9) are used to
enter numeric digits. They are useful for finding a specific track on a
CD, or to tune a pre-set radio station, etc. The “0” button performs the
same operation as the “CLEAR” button on the SR8000 main unit.
, PAGE
Used to select any 1 of the 4 pages of 8 functions for each DIRECT
button, as explained above.
⁄
3
MEMO
. FUNCTION
This button is used to program your CD player’s track memory, or to
enter a VCR recording program, and can be used to provide the
MEMO function included with other components in your system.
Press one of these buttons once or twice to select a particular source
component. For example, to set the amplifier or receiver to the laser
disc input, press the LD button twice within 2 seconds. Along with the
source selection, special functions may become available (the
DIRECT keys), as well as activating the transport function keys, so
that you can now directly operate the laser disc player from the RC-
18SR. If you wish, you may even re-program the status indicators in
the LCD window to reflect your own particular function name
whenever that source (function) button is selected.

This button is used to cancel certain memory or programming
operations. It operates differently from the “CLEAR” button on the

Transport control functions
Here are the button names and their functions:
These buttons provide transport commands for your source
components, such as laser disc player, CD player, VCR, audio tape
deck, etc., and are dependent on the function source selected. For
example, when the RC-18SR is set to LD (laser disc) mode, the
transport keys will operate the laser disc player’s PLAY, STOP,
PAUSE, FAST FORWARD, FAST REVERSE, NEXT and PREVIOUS
track functions. Change the RC-18SR function selector to VCR, and
these keys will then operate the VCR’s transport command functions,
etc.

CURSOR buttons
When the batteries are running low, this indicator will become visible.
At this point, it will not be possible to learn any new remote codes, but
normal remote control operation is still provided (including the use of
any previously learned codes). At this point, you should consider
changing the batteries soon. As time goes on, and the battery power
diminishes further, this indicator will begin blinking. At this point, no
remote commands will be transmitted. This is your signal to replace
the batteries with fresh ones as soon as possible. Eventually, if you
ignore the blinking battery indicator and do not install fresh batteries,
then the batteries may eventually be totally exhausted, and the LCD
display window will be completely blank. However, any previously
learned commands and macros will not be erased from the
microprocessor’s memory.
The RC-18SR is supplied with a full set of RC-5 remote control codes
in permanent (non-volatile) memory. Even if the batteries are fully
exhausted, the RC-5 codes (used for Marantz A/V components) and
learned codes will never disappear.
We recommend that you use a quality brand of alkaline batteries, for
best results and longest life. Newly available lithium “AA” batteries
can even provide longer life than alkaline batteries, and are also
recommended.
Some components feature menus that are navigated with up, down,
left and right direction commands. The cursor buttons can be used to
navigate within on-screen menus, for components such as amplifier
or receiver, TV set, DSS/satellite tuner, etc. These buttons are also
used for certain RC-18SR programming functions.

In the unlikely event that an infrared command cannot be learned
by the RC-18SR, “NG” (no good) will appear in the LCD window,
meaning that the command is not “learnable”. The RC-18SR has
been tested for compatibility with a very wide range of infrared
remote control frequencies and data word lengths, but in some
very rare instances, it may not be possible to learn a particular
remote control command.
Continue to “teach” the RC-18SR the rest of the source
transmitter’s transport function commands, such as STOP,
PAUSE, NEXT, PREVIOUS, FAST FORWARD and REWIND, by
repeating steps 3, 4 and 5 above.

transmitter to the RC-18SR’s 10 key numeric pad ⁄by repeating
steps 3, 4 and 5 above.
7. For each additional function, such as TV, VCR, etc., repeat steps
3, 4 and 5 above. During the LEARN operation, if any button is
not pressed within 1 minute, the RC-18SR will revert back to the
previous operating mode.
5. Using the DIRECT buttons D-1 through D-8 and PAGEs 1
through 4, up to 32 different specialized commands are available
for each FUNCTION, up to a total of 352 specialized commands
(32 direct commands times 11 functions). Note that for any
particular function selector, not all 32 direct commands may be
provided and/or named as supplied from the factory.
6. For example, the RC-18SR is supplied from the factory with 3
pages of DIRECT commands for the LD (laser disc) function. To
change pages, press the page direction or buttons ,:
Page 1:MODE: Side A/B laser disc playback functions
n To make a function button learn a code, switch the input
function then press the button again.
8. After memorizing all desired remote codes, press the operation

At this point, you may wish to put this guide aside temporarily, and
begin using the RC-18SR with your A/V system. If you already
have any Marantz components, or Philips and/or other brands of
components that use the RC-5 remote control language, you can
begin controlling those components with the RC-18SR right away.
Take some time to become comfortable with the operation of the
RC-18SR. We think that its intuitive key pad layout and easy to read
LCD window will permit you to quickly become familiar with its
operation.
If you do not have any Marantz or other brands of components
that use the Philips RC-5 remote control language, then you may
wish to proceed to the next section, which will describe the steps

supplied with an infrared remote control, its commands can be
learned by the RC-18SR. If you have another brand of laser disc
player, for example, you can program the RC-18SR with its codes.
For example, we’ll show you how to “teach” the RC-18SR commands
from another brand of laser disc player.
1. Using a sharp point (such as the tip of a paper clip), press the
operation MODE button z. Each time you press the button, the
mode within the LCD display, the LEARN indicator will begin
blinking.
4. Using the direct function page keys
and
,, set the direct
function to Page 1. Press the D-1 button mon the RC-18SR.
2. Place the laser disc player’s supplied infrared remote controller
so that its transmitter window (usually at the top) is facing the
receiving infrared sensor window ¤ of the RC-18SR (at the
2
bottom), about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

5. Press and hold the corresponding SIDE-A button on the laser
disc player’s remote transmitter until the head of name blinks in
the RC-18SR LCD window or beep sounds emit. The RC-18SR
changes to the RENAME mode automatically as the next step. A
function name of the DIRECT function button blinks, you can
rename this blinking function name. You input the desired letter
or number with the ten keypad. (See the table in step 3 of the next
procedure for referece.) If you need not rename, press the OK
button or the other buttons except the ten keypad.
6. Now, proceed to program the other commands from the laser
disc player’s remote transmitter to the other DIRECT function
buttons (D2-D8). When you have “taught” all 8 direct functions
for Page 1, press the page direction key ,to go to Page 2, and
you can program more direct function keys.
7. After memorizing all codes to all DIRECT function buttons, press
the operation MODE button z with the tip of a paper clip and
return the RC-18SR to the USE mode. Now, the newly memorized
codes are usable from the RC-18SR.
If you wish, you can re-write the names for each function name, status
name, and the direct function command names as follows:
For our example, you can change the LCD display window indication
from “LD” to “LV-520” (which is the model number for a Marantz laser
disc player). Remember, you can re-name a function selector button
with a new name of up to six characters of letters and numbers in any
combination.
5. Continuing along, re-write the remaining letters “V”, “–”, “5”, “2”,
and “0”. By pressing the cursor keys and , each character is
confirmed in place. When you go to other DIRECT function
pages by using the page function keys ,, characters in the
previous page are also confirmed in place.
The name re-writing operation must be done on a function by
function basis, that is, re-write the names for all of the LD direct
functions, then switch to another function such as VCR, and
begin the re-writing process anew to re-name the VCR direct
function commands. After completing all re-writing of any of the
names, press the OK button within the cursor keys ⁄.
How to re-write the STATUS name:
Using the same steps as outlined above, you can re-write the 9
character status name. During step 5 above, by pressing the up and
down cursor keys ⁄ the left side of the status indicator begins
6
blinking, and you can change its display according to the same
method outlined above, using the 10 keypad character generator.
Remember, to confirm each character change, use the cursor keys
and . As above, when you change the direct function page by
pressing the page direction keys ,, this will confirm the re-written
characters in place as well for the page you just finished re-naming.
You have up to 9 letters, numbers or other characters available for
each status name.
1. Using the tip of a paper clip, press the operation MODE button z
until the NAME indicator appears and begins to blink in the LCD
window.
2. Choose a button that you wish to re-name, in this case, press the
“LD” function button .. In the LCD window, the first character of
the six function character display indicators starts blinking “A”,
which is the first letter of the alphabet if you press “1” button
twice.
How to re-write the DIRECT function button names:
You can change the name for each of the 8 direct function buttons by
using the steps described above to change main function name and
status name. Remember, each main function has 8 direct function
buttons on each of the 4 pages, so you have up to 32 direct functions
that can be re-named, if you wish, for each of the 11 main function
selection buttons .. You have up to 4 characters available for each
direct function button name.
3. Choose the desired letter or number by pressing the 10 keypad
buttons ⁄. Each 10 keypad button has 4 characters attached to
it as follows:
After completing all re-writing of any of the names, press the OK
button within the cursor keys ⁄6, or switch to another function button
(such as CD). If, during re-naming, a button has not been pressed for
1 minute, the RC-18SR will revert to the prior operating mode (USE)
automatically.
If re-writing of all of the desired direct mode functions has been
completed, use the tip of a paper clip to press the operation MODE
button z, and select the “USE” mode. Now, all of the re-written
names are available for use.

How to clear (erase) the memorized codes
(and any re-written names):
The RC-18SR has a high capacity RAM, which ordinarily will allow the
learning of several hundred remote codes (and their associated new
names, if desired). However, due to the fact that some remote codes
occupy more memory space than others, it is possible that the
available RAM fills up completely, and the “FULL” indicator appears
in the LCD window. In this case, it will not be possible to learn any
new remote codes without first deleting some or all of the previously
learned remote codes and/or re-written names. There are 4 ways to
erase learned remote codes from memory:
0 → + → — → SPACE → , → ’ → 0 ........
So, in the above example, by pressing the 10 keypad number 4 four
times, you get the letter “L” to appear in the display (see Figure 4).

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES
Macro mode:
The word “macro” is used to describe a series of specific steps
carried out in sequence. For example, a word processing program
can use macros to carry out common repetitive typing tasks. During
the day to day operation of an A/V system, you might often find
yourself pressing the same combination of remote control buttons.
The RC-18SR features the ability to “learn” a sequence of infrared
commands, and “assign” that sequence to a single button, called a
MACRO button n. Then, when you want to achieve a specific result,
you can activate a macro button to begin sending out a series of
commands. For example, suppose you wish to activate your A/V
system, and watch a movie on laser disc. A single macro button
could send out the following commands in this suggested sequence:
nTurn the main amp power on, then turn the TV power on, then
switch the TV to the AUX video input, then change the amp to the
laser disc (LD) input, then turn the LD player power on, then
activate the LD play command, then set the amp surround sound
mode to Dolby Pro Logic.

Erasing the memory assigned to each function command set:
All codes and names which were previously memorized for each of
the functions (such as TV, LD, VCR, etc.) can be erased.
Press and hold the CLEAR button ⁄4, and press the function button
that you want to erase 2 times. You will see the “FNC - CLR?” (function
- clear?) indication in the LCD window (see Figure 6).
The above 7 step sequence can be programmed into a single macro
button, and can be used anytime you want to watch a LD movie.
Other macro functions could be used for CD listening, or any other
sequence of steps that you regularly perform while controlling your A/
V system.
Figure 6
Macro commands are available when the RC-18SR is set to USE
mode.
To program a macro, first identify which commands you wish to
memorize, and note if any commands must be in a specific order (for
example, before you can activate an amplifier’s surround mode, the
amp must first be turned on).

Before continuing on to the more advanced RC-18SR
programming techniques, you may wish to continue “teaching” the
RC-18SR remote control with any or all other commands for other
components in your system. When you feel you’ve transferred as
many different commands from other components into the RC-
18SR as you’d like, and possibly changed some or all of their
names as well, then feel free to proceed to the next section.

inadvertently changed as well when the macro is played back. The
RC-18SR has a special feature to prevent this from occurring,
allowing you to access the special commands available under each
RC-18SR function button during a macro playback sequence, while
at the same time preventing the amplifier or receiver from constantly
switching its input source back and forth at the same time.
3. Press the command buttons in the desired sequence. When you
press a command button to be learned into the macro sequence,
its name will appear within the LCD window. Every time you
press another remote command, the macro step number
increases one by one.
4. It is possible during macro programming to adjust the timing of the
interval between several macro steps. Using the cursor keys ⁄, the
interval between macro playback steps can be increased or
decreased in 1/2 second steps, over the range beginning at 1/2
second up to 10 seconds. For example, when the indicator shows
“0.5 SEC”, if you press the direction key, the interval time would
change to 10 seconds, then with another press of the direction
key, it would change to 9.5 seconds, etc. Use the direction key to
increase the interval time, and use the direction key to decrease
the interval time.
During the programming sequence, just remember that if you wish to
activate a specific input selector on your amplifier or receiver, make
sure that you press the desired input selection button FIRST.
Subsequent function button selections can be incorporated in the
macro sequence, but on playback, the RC-18SR will only send out a
function selection infrared command to the amplifier or receiver
based upon the first function command used in the macro sequence.
For example, you may wish to have a macro sequence which
activates the laser disc player input on your amplifier or receiver, and
then have additional commands in the sequence to instruct your TV
set to switch to an external video source to receive the laser disc
video signal. During the macro programming, make sure that you
press the LD function selector button BEFORE you press any of the
other function selector buttons in the sequence. You can then
include any of the TV commands by pressing the TV function selector
button, later in the sequence. When this macro is next used (played
back), the RC-18SR will send out the command to change the amplifier
or receiver’s input selector to laser disc input (since its function
selector button was the first one programmed into that macro
sequence), and will not subsequently change the amplifier or
receiver’s input to TV (but will send out any special TV commands that
you included in the macro sequence).
Some equipment may not be able to receive infrared commands in
one-half second steps. If after programming a macro you find that
the sequence was not properly carried out, you may wish to
experiment with different sequence timings to obtain the correct
operation results by using the adjustment method described
above.
Within each MACRO button, up to 20 steps can be memorized.
In the event that you wish to memorize more than 20 steps per
macro, then press another MACRO button n , and follow the
above operations. A maximum of 80 steps can be programmed
this way. However, you will probably find that 20 steps is more
than enough to carry out even the most complex macro
instructions to achieve a specific home theater operating result.
Note:
Programming a macro under a function selector key:
If you wish, you can also program a macro that can be activated by
pressing one of the function selector . keys. The programming
steps are similar to the steps outlined for programming a macro
number button n. The following example shows how to program a
macro under the LD (laser disc) function selector .:
(activate the main amplifier’s power on, switch the source to laser
disc, switch the amplifier’s surround mode to PRO LOGIC, switch on
the television, switch to the television’s AUX video input, power up the
laser disc player, and begin laser disc playback)

preset code) cannot be cloned. Only learned remote control codes
can be cloned. Then the remote control code is learned by “LEARN
mode”. Refer to page 21.

Battery life:
OTHER FUNCTIONS
nBattery life will vary from user to user, if the remote is used
constantly or only occasionally, including the amount of
backlighting usage. We feel that you can expect the
batteries to last about 4 months, based upon 15 remote
control operations per day (every day), and 3 lighting
operations per day (every day). If the remote is used more
often, and if the lighting times are set to longer times than
the factory settings, then the battery life may be shortened
somewhat.
nAs explained earlier in the guide, the RC-18SR’s
sophisticated battery conservation system will advise you
long before the battery power is fully exhausted, and will
further warn you to replace the batteries by simply
becoming inoperative at a certain point. The customized
memory contents and user-adjusted settings will still be
retained in memory. When you install a fresh set of
batteries, the memory contents are protected always,
because the RC-18SR uses the non-volatile memory.
Alkaline (and the newer lithium) types are recommended for
longest battery life.
The Marantz RC-18SR includes the ability to tailor the lighting
features according to your preferences. As supplied from the
factory, the RC-18SR has lighting features (and lighting timings):
The lighting time is set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds
which you can change if you prefer a different lighting time. If you
wish to maximize battery life, you can de-active the lighting
function entirely.
There is also a lighting button ¤, so that in any light situation, you
can activate the backlighting feature. The lighting time in this case
is set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds, which you can also
change. If you wish to conserve battery power, you can de-
activate the lighting function entirely.
RC-5 Shipped destination:
As mentioned earlier in this guide, the RC-18SR is provided with
many commands from the factory with infrared codes conforming to
the Philips RC-5 remote control language (used by Marantz, Philips,
and some other companies). We have provided two different RC-5
command code sets in the RC-18SR, dueto the local requirements of
different markets and the different types of remote control codes
used in those markets. One code set is for North American (USA)
users, while the other code set is for REST users. Your RC-18SR has
been set at the factory for USA (United States) codes. It can be easily
changed, if you wish.
As you become more familiar over time with how you are
using the RC-18SR in your A/V system, you may wish to
consider reducing the lighting time(s) if possible, as this
can help to extend the battery life.
Adjustment of the LCD contrast
nThe LCD contrast can be adjusted as follows;
Set-Up:
Enter SETUP mode of the RC-18SR by pressing the MEMO
and OK buttons. Press the VOL+ to increase the LCD
contrast. Press the VOL - to decrease the LCD contrast.
Press the OK button to end this setting and return the
original operation.
To change the lighting time(s), or the destination setting, please
follow these steps:
n
Select the SETUP mode, by holding the MEMO button ⁄3and at
the same time pressing the OK button within the cursor keys ⁄6.

A time figure consisting of only 1 digit can be input by pressing
the figure then waiting for 2 seconds or input “0” before entering a
desired digit. You can set time in the range from 0 up to 60
seconds (More time would use up more battery life than fewer
seconds). “2” is set when shipped from the factory. To set “OFF”
input “0”.
BEEP sound
The beep sounds when any buttons are pressed except the AMP
button.
The beep sound level can be set by pressing the D-6 button. The
display indicates “+” indication and the beeps are sounded by
pressing the D-6 button. The “+” indication is followed, by
another the “+” indication as the beep sound is increased; + →
++ → +++ → ++++
When the “++++” appears, this is the maximum. If the D-6 button
is pressed once more, it will reset to OFF.
“ ” is indicated in the LCD window when the beep sound is set.
Note:
The beep sound is different between the function buttons and
other buttons.
VER
Press the D-7 direct function button to switch between USA and
REST.
If you need to change this function, we recommend that you
make the change before you begin “learning” any new infrared
codes for other brands of equipment in your system.
Note:
The name of the DIRECT buttons will be erased if the USA/REST
version is pressed.

DIRECT COMMAND FUNCTIONS LISTING
Within the RC-18SR LCD window, each of the 8 Direct Function buttons
has 4 character labels attached for pre-programmed remote
commands. These commands can be used with various Marantz A/V
components, or other components using the Philips RC-5 remote
control language.

that are supplied apply to a wide variety of equipment from many
companies. The following list shows the remote code assignments
for the direct function buttons, for each of the 11 main function
selector buttons, as supplied from the factory. You can add or
replace function commands, including re-naming them if you wish, in
order to customize the RC-18SR for your own particular selection of

SURROUND MODES
The SR8000 incorporates digital signal processors (DSP) which can reproduce various surround effects you experience in concert halls and movie
theaters, etc. Nine Surround Modes, are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played.
FEATURES
Surroud mode
1. AUTO
When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, PCM-audio or DTS.
Note:
When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the number of channels for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be
played.
Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro-Logic
processing before play.
96 Khz source matirial can be play back in this mode.
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
2. STEREO
3. DOLBY
Stereo program sources the left and right channels play normaly when PCM-audio or analog stereo is input.
With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 multi-channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96 Khz source matirial can
be play back in stereo mode.
This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic processing can be used on Dolby Surround encoded two channel source material (Dolby Digital two
channels, PCM-audio and Analog stereo). This allows play of the four discrete channels (left, center, right and surround).
Note:
PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
When a signal in another format is input, output will be muted.
This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD.
In the DTS Music mode, the LFE signal is reduced by 10 dB. With DTS music material, you should select the DTS Music
mode.
When playing DTS movie discs select DTS cinema mode for proper reproduction of the LFE channel. The DTS mode cannot
be used when an Analog input has been selected. When the signal in another digital format is input, output will be muted.
4. DTS
Cinema
Music
These modes provide surround effect processing from each input source material.
They will produce theater, concert hall and stadium like atmospheres. Select as your taste desires.
Note:
PCM-audio signals can be processed in this mode when sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
The 96 kHz sampling frequency mutes output.
5. MOVIE
HALL
MATRIX
This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material.
This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left surround speaker and the right channel signal to both
right front and right surround speaker. Addtionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.
6. 5-STEREO
In the source direct mode, the tone control circuite and bass management configuration are bypassed for full range
frequeancy responce and the purist audio reproduction.
7. S-Direct ON
96 Khz source matirial can be play back in this mode.
Notes:
Internal speaker size is setup to front L/R = Large, Center = Large, Surround L/R = Large and Subwoofer = yes automatically.
Tone controls are also defeated.
Caution for 96kHz PCM-audio signal:
Caution for DTS signal:
This signal can be played when a DVD-player or DAT-player
connected to the SR8000 is capable of 96 kHz PCM output. For
details, refer to the player’s operation manual.
The signal can be played when STEREO or AUTO has been selected
for the Surround mode.
Some DVD formatted discs featured copy protect. When use such
disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
This signal can be played when the connected DVD-player, laser-
disc player or CD-player is capable of DTS-digital output. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce noise. If that
happens, set the Surround mode to DTS.
Playing a DTS-CD or DTS laser disc causes the player’s analog
output terminal to output noise. Before playing DTS sources, be
sure to connect the player’s digital output to the SR8000’s digital
input. Be careful when connecting the output of these players to
analog audio input.
Note that the SR8000 has the following restrictive functions built in
to reduce noise emission as much as possible.
If DTS is selected while in the Surround mode, digital input cannot
be switched to analog input. When the analog input function has
been selected, Surround mode cannot be switched to DTS.
While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are playing in another
Surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital
input to analog input.
