81 RQT6035 Home Theater Expanding your home theater system Operating other Panasonic DVD equipment with the remote control By changing the remote control code, you can operate other DVD recorders and players manufactured by Panasonic. Most of the DVD recorders and players manufactured by Panasonic use the same system for their remote controls, so if you operate them in the same place, the controls can be confused by the differ- ent pieces of equipment. Use the following procedure to change the remote control code to solve this problem. Use “1”, the factory set code, under normal circumstances. Be sure to set the same remote control code on the main unit as you did for the remote control itself (➡ page 82, ACTION—Set Up— Remote Control Code). Preparation Switch [DVD, TV] to “DVD”. Change the code on the main unit. Press [, POWER] and the numbered but- tons corresponding to the code you want to set, [1], [2], or [3], at the same time. Note The following display appears on the unit’s display if its code and the remote control’s code are different. Change the remote con- trol’s code to suit the unit. The display disappears after about 5 seconds. The unit’s remote control code TV CH TV/AV PROG / CHECK TOP WINDOWFRAME SKIP STOP VCR Plus + REC TIME SLIP CM SKIP V. S . S .
