User Guide2The RC5400 is designed to control most devices that understand infra-red (IR) remote control signals. Its easy-to-use Touch Screen and itsintuitive interface make it a perfect remote control for every user. The RC5400 is completely customizable and programmable. You canadd devices and functions, re-label buttons, record macros and animateyour macros. Although the RC5400 is pre-programmed for Marantzcomponents, a vast collection of built-in tab guided panels with pre-arranged button art enables you to easily choose the perfect interfacefor any non-Marantz component. The RC5400 easily “learns”com-mands from the vast majority of manufacturers’remote controls.

User Guide16It is best to proceed with customizing in several stages. The first stage is to teach all of your existing remote codes to theRC5400. The second stage is to practice using your home theatersystem with the RC5400. As you gain familiarity with your system,you’ll notice that many operations in a home theater require severalsteps. In the third stage of customization, you will record multiplestep operations as either a “Macro”that you can play back with onebutton push or as a list of numbered steps recorded in a “Help List”device group.In the next few pages you’ll find step by step guidelines on each ofthe three stages. When a more detailed explanation can be foundin the Reference section, we’ve noted the page.1 Gather all of your remote controls in front of you.2 Play with all of the example devices. Compare the devices withyour existing remote controls. Can you use any as templates fornon-Marantz components?3 Use DELETE mode to delete all of the devices that you don’tuse (see page 37).4 Use ADD mode to add the devices for each Marantz compo-nent (see page 35-36). When you are prompted to add with or without RC codes, choo-se “WITH RC CODES”.5 Use ADD mode to add a devices for each non-Marantz com-ponent (see page 36). Choose “WITHOUT RC CODES”.6 Switch to LEARN Mode to evaluate the page layouts of the newdevices.Customizing your RC54001. Introduction2. Cloning All Your Existing Remotes

Repeat steps 4 through 7 untilall of your remote controls have matching devices.8 Switch to LABEL mode to relabel each device (see page 30-32).9 Switch to MOVE mode to re-order your devices, so that yourhome panel is arranged the way you want (see page 39).10 Switch to LABEL mode to relabel any buttons as needed tomatch your existing remote controls. Check all of your devices.12 Switch to LEARN mode and teach the RC5400 all of your non-Marantz components’RC Codes (see page 26-30).13 Switching back and forth between USE and LEARN modes, testall codes and reteach as necessary.Note Should you need to delete a command, use the DELETE mode.Be very careful to NEVER delete the jump tabs; they can onlybe restored with a personal computer (see page 46-47).14 Switch back to LEARN mode. Teach each Device the appropria-te Preamp/Receiver Input (source switching) IR command (seepage 28) as the Device Action.Congratulations! You have completed the first stage of customiza-tion. Take a well deserved break.

User Guide18Customizing Your RC5400If your entire system is new to you, practice using the RC5400 manu-ally for a few days before programming any macros. You’ll find thatyour home theater requires many operations that require multiplesteps to do. You have to decide whether to use a:Macro - The entire operation happens in an automated sequencewhen you touch one button.Help List - The operation happens manually but is prompted by largesequentially numbered buttons with friendly labels on one sequence ofpages linked together.Some multiple step operations require you to make decisions beforeyou proceed. An example is turning on a non-Marantz home theatersystem. Many components turn on and off with a single “Power”but-ton. Before you press a “Power”button, the manufacturer expects youto look at the component to see whether it is on or off. If you want iton and it’s off, you press the “Power”button. If you forget to look, andit is already on, you will turn it off when you press the “Power”button.The Remote cannot “look”at your components to see if they are on oroff. So, if you recorded a macro intended to power up a non-Marantzhome theater, it wouldn’t be very reliable. Here’s an example: Your spouse goes out to the local video store andrents a video tape. When he/she gets home, they pop the tape in the VCR(most VCR’s automatically turn on when a tape is inserted). Your spousetouches the macro button you programmed to power up the system. Therecorded sequence of “power”buttons is played back. Unfortunately, sincethe VCR was already on, it is now off and everything else is on. Yourspouse sees no picture, assumes the macro didn’t work, so he/she tou-ches the button again. This time, the macro turns the VCR on and everyt-hing else off. Frustrating!Marantz builds components that are “macro-friendly”. Instead of asingle “power”button, the remote controls have a discrete “On”and adiscrete “Off”button. With a Marantz system, you can record a Macrothat is very reliable from a series of “On”commands. Take a look atthe example ALL ON and ALL OFF macros preprogrammed in thedefault configuration.3. Complex Operation? Macro or Help...

The problems don’t stop with powering up a system. Often, you willwant to construct a macro to watch or listen to a specific source. Thismay require that both the Television and the Surround Receiver be setto new inputs. Some components have “discrete”commands to selectsources (meaning the command will only have one effect on the com-ponents, like the CD input on most receivers). Other componentshave “toggle”commands (these are commands that require you tolook at the component, evaluate its state and sometimes issue thecommand over and over again). An example of a “toggle”command isthe Input or TV/VCR button found on many television remote controls.You have to look at the TV, decide that it is on the wrong input, thentoggle or scroll through the inputs to select the one you want.Evaluate each of the multiple step operations you would like to recordas macros. If all of the commands in the process are “discrete,”themacro will work reliably. If even one command is a “toggle”command,you should program a help list for the operation instead of a macro.Tip Sometimes there is a reliable way to use toggle type commands in macros.Unfortunately, it will not be written down in your component’s instruction manu-al. You will have to find it through experimentation and imagination. What you are looking for is an “anchor”command that will put your componentin a known state. Once it is in a known state, you can use toggle commandsin your macro. An example for Powering Up DVD Players:Most DVD players will turn on when off when they receive a Play command. Thus a discrete On command is two steps, 1) DVD Play2) DVD StopA discrete off command is constructed by:1) DVD Play2) DVD PowerAn example for Selecting Source on a TV:Many televisions will return to a particular input with either a channel up ordown command or by selecting a particular channel.Thus, to construct a macro that selects the EXT1 input:1) Channel Up (selects the Antenna A input)2) Input (toggles to the Antenna B input)3) Input (toggles to the EXT 1 input)User Guide19Customizing Your RC5400

User Guide21Macros allow you to send a sequence of commands, jumps, delaysand beeps with up to 250 steps using one single touch.Basically, you can assign any button as a macro button. However, it is recommended that you use the reserved macro buttons in theMacro device since they are conveniently labeled with popularMacro titles. However any button can be reprogrammed to be aMacro.In order to plan your macros, you should understand the capabili-ties as follows,Any Button Perform Macros/JumpsYou can program a macro to be played back when a button inthe device page is selected by pressing a button on a devicepage (see page 41).You can program a macro to be played back when a device isselected by either pressing a button on the Home page or byselecting the device via the Device Overview page(see page 42).Macros Perform Jumps to Any Device PageThe RC5400 has the unique capability of jumping to any devicepanel during a macro. You can make any or all of the 250 steps a jump to any Devicepanel. This provides you with the opportunity to give some feed-back to the end user while a macro is being played back. Forexample: you can reveal the CD device panel to show the user thatcommands are being sent to the CD player, then jump to an AMPpanel to show the user that commands are being sent to the amp.(see page 41-42)You can ADD/Create a Status device (located in new devices inthe division named OTHER) and custom label each panel togive the end user more specific feedback as to what the macrois doing. You can then program jumps to each Status panel tooccur during the macro. (see page 33-34)You cannot jump to any Home page, Device Overview andCustomizing Your RC54005. Macro/Page Jump Capability

You are only allowed to jump to Devicepages when programming with the RC5400 stand alone.Macros Send Commands To Your SystemYou can make any or all of the 250 steps send a remote controlcommand to your system. The step is actually just a recordingof the location of any button on any device page. To record anRC command, you simply navigate to the panel and button youwant, then touch it. Thus, all RC commands in a Macro mustfirst be taught to a button location first (see page40-42).You can record a “Device Action”which is what the device but-ton on the Home page and Device Overview page really does(see page 42).Macros Can Delay and Beep Between StepsYou can program a Delay/Beep as any or all of the 250 steps ofa macro (see page 41).You can adjust that delay in 1/10th of a second intervalsbetween 0.1 and 99.9 seconds (see page 41).

User Guide23You will do all of your Macro/Jump programming within a screenthat will appear after you press the MACRO button on the Modemenu. Before proceeding with programming, make sure that youunderstand how to move around in the MACRO mode and how toread the RC5400’s shorthand notation for each macro step (seepage 40).1 Write a list of all of the actions in the operation you want torecord.2 Play with all of the example Macro buttons in Macro device. Areany of these examples adaptable to your purposes? If you haveonly a few macros to program, you may be better off deleting allof them and creating a new Macro device.3 Use DELETE mode to delete all of the Macro devices that youdon’t like (see page 38).4 Use ADD mode to add a new macro device empty of any pro-gramming from the device list (see page 35-36).5 Switch to LABEL mode to re-label your macro device (see page 32).6 Switch to MOVE mode to re-order your macro devices, so thatthe most commonly used Macro devices are near the top (seepage 39).7 Switch to LABEL mode and navigate to the your new macrodevice. Relabel the macro buttons (currently labeled NewMacro) with an appropriate name. The buttons are large so tryto imagine a descriptive name even if it requires a few words.8 Switch to MACRO mode. Tap the “Macro to BUTTON” to pro-ceed.Note If you like to create a macro to the Device button, tap the“Macro to DEVICE” button instead of the “Macro to BUTTON”button.9 Navigate to your new macro device and press your newlynamed macro button to enter the MACRO edit page.

If you had any previouslyprogrammed commands in this button, they will appear for youto edit.10 Working from your written list, navigate to the desired deviceand page to program all of the steps in the Macro (see page 41).Commands - When you touch a button, you will record an RCcommand step (see page 41).Jumps - When you select a device from the Device Overviewwhile holding down the Left function button (now labeled“Device”), you will record a page jump to the first page of thatdevice (see page 42).Device Action - When you select a device from the DeviceOverview while holding down the Right function button (nowlabeled “Action”), you will record a Device Action of that device(see page 42).Delays - When you select a Delay, use the “+” and “-” buttons toset the amount of delay (see page 41).Beeps - When you select a Beep, you will record a beep (seepage 41).Note Use the Page + / - buttons or Page overview to navigate pages;the Tab buttons will not work. If you accidentally record a tabbutton as a macro step, it will do nothing because you cannotalias to a button that jumps. Since it will confuse you to see it inthe Macro Edit window, it is best to delete it.11 Once all steps have been programmed, test your macro by tap-ping the “Test” button on the page.12 Typically you will need to adjust the timing of the macro. SimplyCustomizing Your RC5400

User Guide25putting in lots of delays will make the macro work, but maymake the macro unnecessarily long.Try moving commands, so that a TV command alternates withanother component command before another TV command isissued. To move a command, simply select it and use the and buttons to reposition it within the Macro page.When a delay is added to the macro, the default timing is 0.5seconds. If the macro works with a 0.5 second delay, try a smal-ler delay to shorten the macro.When programming Channel number macros, use 0.1 seconddelays between different digits and 0.5 second delays betweenidentical digits.13 Once you are happy with the macro, press the “Done” button onthe screen to save it.14 Continue to program macros until you have recorded all that youplan. Congratulations! You are now a Home Theater Automator!Customizing Your RC5400

You program the RC (Remote Control)commands by transmittingIR (infrared) signals from your existing remote controls to theRC5400’s learning eye. To do this, place the RC5400 and the device’s remote control on a flat surface, 1 to 10cm (0.5 to 3.6 inches) apart. With each new remote control, you have to find the correct learning distance.It is best to be systematic and teach all of the buttons from one remote control before proceeding to the next. Start with the remotes close together; if you receive a “Failed” message,move them farther apart in one inch increments. Although rare, some component remotes require a very large distance between the sending LED and the RC5400’s learning eye.Test the first command from any new remote control to find thecorrect learning distance. Once you have found the correct learning distance, do not chan-ge it for any other button on that particular remote control.Most commands learn correctly when you press and hold themuntil the “OK” indicator appears. However, sometimes theRC5400 will say “OK”, yet the command will not operate thecomponent properly. If this occurs, try re-teaching the commandwith a brief tap. After a short delay the “OK” indicator will appe-ar. Test the code. If this improves operation, continue to use the“tap” technique for all other buttons on the remote. The only but-tons that you MUST use the press and hold technique for arebuttons that you will press and hold when you are operating thecomponent (i.e. Volume Up/Down, Scan, etc.).The following buttons can be programmed: Soft buttons (opera-tion page buttons, device buttons) and Hard buttons.User Guide26Reference1.

Instead of tapping a button on the Touch Screen,press the Device button you want to program.Programming Hard Buttons Globally And/Or Locally Per DeviceThe Hard buttons are defined as the five hard buttons on the rightside of the Touch Screen (Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down,Mute) and the nine buttons below the Touch Screen (except theHOME button, since you cannot program it). WARNING It is possible to teach commands to the LEFT and RIGHTfunction buttons below the Touch Screen. However, only via aPC, you can re-program the buttons to “Ahead” and “Back”so do not re-program these keys without considering careful-ly.User Guide28Reference

User Guide29ReferenceHard buttons can be programmed with a global function for all devi-ces and/or for a device specific (local) command for a particulardevice. When a command is taught to a hard button from the Homepage, it will be issued as long as the active device does not have alocal command. When a command is taught to a hard button from a device page,it will only be issued when that device is active, even if a commandhas been taught globally. Local learning overrides global learning.For example: One could program the CH+ & CH- buttons as theChapter +/- command when the DVD is active. Now, if you programthe TV channel +/- globally (and any device other than the DVD isselected) the TV channel +/- commands will be issued.Programming a Hard Button Globally1 Press the HOME button to navigate to the Home Page.2 Complete steps 1 to 9 in “Programming Touch Screen buttons”on page 27.

User Guide44Warning To use the Remote Control with Radio Frequency (RF) you needan Marantz RX-77 RF Extender. This is an optional accessory for the RC5400.By default, the RC5400 uses infrared (IR) signals to operate devices. This means that you have to point the RC5400’s IR sending eye towards the devices you’re operating. IR signals have an operating distance of approximately 10 meters (33 feet).You can choose to operate devices using Radio Frequency (RF)signals instead of IR signals. RF signals can, unlike IR signals, gothrough obstacles like furniture or walls.The RF signals sent out by theRC5400 are picked up by the RX-77RF Extender. The RX-77 translatesthe RF signals in IR signals andsends the IR signals to theappropriate devices. Therefore, theRX-77 has to be placed near thedevices you’re operating with theRX-77’s sending eye pointed to the device. Your devices will always receive IR signals either directly from theRC5400 or from the RX-77.Changing the IR / RF SettingsAll devices are set up by default to work with IR signals. To be ableto operate one or more devices with RF signals, you have tochange the RC5400’s IR/RF settings for those devices.1 Tap and hold the Mode icon in the Lower Tool Bar morethan 3 seconds.
