Using the remote controller
Overview
When you use a remote controller, typically you press one of the MODE buttons that corresponds to the device you wish to control, then
press the operation buttons. For example, if you wish to control the TX-DS575 from a remote controller, first press the MODE AUDIO but-
ton, then press an appropriate operation button. To control a CD player, press the MODE CD button, then press an appropriate operation but-
ton.
First, press the desired MODE button to make sure that the TX-DS575 is set to a correct mode.

Programming the remote controller codes of
other devices into the RC-391M
The RC-391M has two learning functions. One is a normal learning function that enables the RC-391M to learn other remote controllers’
codes. The other is a macro learning function, which enables the RC-391M to learn a series of codes already memorized in the remote con-
troller into one MACRO button.
Programming procedure
Program the codes for each mode (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV).

The button you wish to memorize
RC-391M
1. Place the RC-391M and the remote controller for another
device, with 5–15cm (2–6 inches) apart and the light-emit-
ting parts facing each other.
Note:
• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (51 buttons × 8
modes), although this number varies significantly depending on
the manufacturers and types of the remote controller you wish to
program into the RC-391M. It is recommended that you deter-
mine which button functions have priority for programming.
• If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during
the procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, then the RC-391M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 2.
• If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN
indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-391M exits
Learning mode.
2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button
on the RC-391M (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE,
VCR, or TV), press the ENT button, then release the but-
tons.
When you press and hold down one of the MODE button, the
SEND/LEARN indicator lights up. When you press the ENT
button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the
SEND/LEARN indicator lights up again.
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the RC-
391M, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly,
then the RC-391M exits Learning function. Try programming in
a button of other MODE.
3. Press and release the desired operation button on the RC-
391M.
You may select any button within the rectangle shown in the figure.
When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.
When you release the button, the indicator lights up again.
• Follow the same procedure when you wish to program new
codes into the already-programmed buttons.
• This remote controller uses infrared rays. Most remote control-
ler codes can be memorized using the infrared system; however,
depending on the degree to which the system differs, there may
be some rare occasions when memorization is not possible.
• Some remote controllers use a single button to perform different
functions, with the function code changing each time the button
is pressed. If you are using this kind of controller, please per-
form the “learn” operations for each function individually to
store each function to a button on the RC-391M.
4. Press and hold down the desired button on the remote con-
troller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN indicator
on the RC-391M flashes twice.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly, then lights up.
5. Repeat Steps 3–4 to program other buttons in the same
MODE.
Repeat Steps 2-4 to program other buttons in a different MODE.
6. Press the MODE button to complete programming.
• For instructions regarding the operation of “learned” units,
7. Operate the programmed button to make sure the learning
function works.
please refer to the instruction manual for each product.
• Even after codes have been memorized, please keep your old
remote controller in a safe place. If the memorized codes are
lost when the batteries run down, it will be necessary to memo-
rize them once again using the old remote controller.
• Make sure both the RC-391M and the product’s own remote
controller have fresh batteries. If either of them has batteries
that are wearing down, it may be impossible to store the remote
controller codes into the RC-391M or the product may not
respond properly to the buttons on the RC-391M for which the
remote controller codes were stored into memory.
Note:
The remote controller codes for the Onkyo CD player, tape
deck, DVD player, and MD recorder have already been pro-
grammed into the buttons on the RC-391M. You may program
other remote controller codes into these buttons. If you wish to
restore the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes,
erase the new codes. (See page 35.)

Using a Macro function
What is a Macro function?
A Macro function enables you to program a series of button operations on the remote controller into a single button. For example, you need
to follow the steps below to play a CD player connected to the TX-DS575 without using the Macro function:
1: Press the MODE AUDIO button. → 2: Press the POWER ON button. → 3: Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button. → 4: Press the
MODE CD button. → 5: Use the numeric keys to select the desired song.
This operation will be two button presses away if you program these steps into a macro button.
Programming Macro mode
You may program the desired steps into each of eight MODE but-
tons. The following example explains how to program Steps 1–5
(described above) into the MACRO MODE button under the
MODE CD button (CD mode).
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button you wish to
2
program (in this case, MODE CD button), and press the
MACRO MODE button. Then release the buttons.
When you press the MODE CD button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator lights up. When you press the MACRO MODE button,
the indicator turns off.
When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes briefly, then
lights up again.

2. Press the operation buttons in series you wish to program
into the MACRO MODE button.
Press the MODE AUDIO, POWER ON, CD (INPUT SELEC-
TOR), MODE CD buttons, and a numeric key. When you press
the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you
release the button, the indicator lights up.
3. Press the MACRO MODE button to complete program-
ming.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.
Repeat Steps 1–3 to program other series of button operations
into another MODE button.
4. Check to see if the series of button operation has been cor-
rectly learned.
2
2
Point the remote controller toward the TX-DS575, press the
MODE CD button, and press the MACRO MODE button to see
if the unit responds as programmed.
Transmitting the codes in Macro mode takes a while. During
transmission, point the remote controller toward the device to
be controlled.
Note:
• You may program up to 16 button operations into each MACRO
button. If you try to program the 17th step, it will be ignored.
• If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during
the procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, then the RC-391M exits Learning mode. Resume Step
1.
• If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN
indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-391M exits
Learning mode. Resume Step 1.
• If you erase one of the operation buttons already programmed in
the MACRO MODE button, or if you program a different code
into such a button, the operation button will no longer work. In
this case, program the buttons again to avoid malfunction.
Tip:
The codes programmed into a MACRO button will be
transmitted with an interval of 0.5 seconds. However,
some devices may not be able to complete one opera-
tion in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this
case, press one operation button, press the correspond-
ing MODE button, then press another operation button
to extend the interval between the two operations up to
one second.

1. Open the battery cover and remove the batteries.
2. While pressing and holding down the POWER ON button
and the POWER STNBY button, insert the batteries in the
correct direction.
After inserting the batteries, release the buttons. The SEND/
LEARN indicator flashes slowly.
3. Press the ENT button.
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights up for about ten seconds,
then turns off. All programmed codes are erased and the button
memories return to the factory presets.
Note:
• Proceed to Step 3 immediately after Step 2. Otherwise, the bat-
teries will be consumed quickly.
• If you press any button other than the ENT button in Step 3, no
codes will be erased. In this case, repeat the steps from the
beginning.
