control transmitter and the main unit.  
If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong  
lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.),  
it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work  
correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid  
direct lighting.

Battery replacement  
If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used  
closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both  
batteries with new ones.  
Notes  
Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.  
Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside  
the battery compartment.)  
Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will  
not be used for an extended period of time.  
If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid  
touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with  
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly  
before installing new batteries.

REMOTE CONTROL “LEARNING” FUNCTION  
(U.S.A., Canada and General models of CX-2 only)  
The keys on this remote control transmitter can be programmed to “learn” key-functions from other remote control transmitters  
without losing the preset key functions. By using this feature, this unit can then be used in place of one or more other remote control  
transmitters, thus making operation of your various audio and video components more convenient. Use the included user program  
sheets to indicate a new function learned for each key.  
Note  
There may occasionally be instances in which, due to the signal-coding and modulation employed by the other remote control  
transmitter, this unit will not be able to “learn” its signals.

To Learn a New Function  
Notes  
When you operate the desired component with this remote  
1
control transmitter, TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash  
steadily.  
The originally preset function of a key is still available in the  
USER position if a new function has not been learned to the  
key.  
Successful learning to a key results in the erasure of  
previously learned functions and their replacement by the  
newly learned ones.  
If there is no more room in the memory area for a function to  
be learned, the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator will flash two  
times. In this case, even if some keys are not occupied with  
functions from other remote control transmitters, no further  
learning is possible.  
Set to the “LEARN” position.  
2
Press a key on this unit where a new function will be  
learned.  
This unit  
Memory back-up  
All of the learned functions will be retained while you replace  
the batteries. However, if no batteries are installed for a few  
hours, the learned functions will be erased and will have to be  
learned again.  
Other remote  
control transmitter  
About 5–10 cm (2–4 in.)  
Trouble shooting guide  
If learning cannot be made successfully, or if this remote  
control transmitter does not function even though the  
learning was successful, check the following points:  
* Check whether the batteries of the other remote control  
transmitter are weak.  
3
Press and hold the key (on the other remote control  
transmitter) where the desired new function is.  
Note that even though its batteries may be strong enough  
to operate the component it was made for, they may be  
too weak to transfer signals to this unit. If so, replace the  
batteries of the other remote control transmitter.  
* Check whether the distance between the two remote  
control transmitters is too long or too short.  
Illuminates  
The remote control transmitter’s batteries are too weak if the  
TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator does not illuminate or flash, or  
if the distance or range within which the remote control  
transmitter can be used decreases.  
If either occurs, replace the batteries with new ones.  
* When the TRANSMIT/LEARN indicator stops illuminating,  
the learning is finished.

Repeat step 2 and 3 until all desired functions are  
successfully learned.  
Set to the “USER” position.  
Try operating your components.
