Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor  
burn-in  
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas  
plasma displays, SLIM SERIES PLASMA MONITOR can  
be susceptible to phosphor burn under certain circumstances.  
Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display  
of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result  
in phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To  
protect your investment in this Marantz SLIM SERIES  
PLASMA MONITOR, please adhere to the following  
guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the  
occurrence of image burn:  
* Always enable and use your computer's screen saver func-  
tion during use with a computer input source.  
* Display a moving image whenever possible.  
* Always power down the monitor when you are finished  
using it.  
If the SLIM SERIES PLASMA MONITOR is in long term  
use or continuous operation take the following measures to  
reduce the likelihood of phosphor burn:  
* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as  
possible without impairing image readability.  
* Display an image with many colors and color gradations  
(ie. photographic or photo-realistic images).  
* Create image content with minimal contrast between light  
and dark areas, for example white characters on black  
backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color when-  
ever possible.  
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,  
sharply defined borders between colors.  
Contact Marantz service center at 1-800-270-4533 for other  
recommended procedures that will best suit your particular  
application needs.

PDP Monitor burning characteristics  
Regarding the subject titled, we hereby furnish you with the  
following report:  
Therefore, there is less chance of being a cause of difference  
in brightness reduction among the cells. Even when the  
fixed patterns are displayed, they generally last for a few  
minutes. Since the same pattern is less liable to be displayed,  
there is almost no influence toward burning.  
1. Burning  
The fluorescent substance used in the plasma module loses  
its brightness with the lapse of lighting time.  
This deterioration in brightness appears to be a difference  
in brightness in relation to the surroundings, and comes to  
be recognized as burning.  
In other words, the burning is defined as follows: when the  
same pattern (of the fixed display) is displayed for a long  
time, a difference in brightness is caused around the lighting  
area and non-lighting area due to deterioration in the  
fluorescent substance.When the present pattern is changed  
over to another one, the boundary comes to be seen between  
the lighting area and non-lighting area due to difference in  
brightness in the pattern shown shortly before changeover.  
If this condition is accumulated, the boundary or burning  
comes to be seen with the naked eyes.  
If the fixed patterns tend to be displayed for a long time,  
however, there occurs a substantial imbalance between the  
lighting and non-lighting areas, thus causing a difference  
in brightness as a result. In this paper, we offer you some  
proposals of installation, paying attentions to the two points:  
the reduction of difference in brightness achieved by  
integrated lighting time leveling and the method of edge  
smearing to make burning hard to be discerned.  
The result from these proposals can, however, greatly  
depend on the contents of images and the operating  
environment. Therefore, we consider that it is essential to  
take the suitable measures in consideration of the customer’s  
operating environment.  
Example of Proposal 1: The display position is moved  
while the fixed display pattern is  
changed over, or it is scrolled during  
the display.  
Example of Proposal 2: If possible, a pattern of  
2. Secular change in brightness  
The life of brightness, defined as the reduction to half the  
initial level, is more than10 thousand hours on average.  
Conditions: All white (100% white) input at an ambient  
temperature of 25°C.  
However, this life time is not a guarantee value for life and  
brightness. It should be recognized simply as the data for  
reference.  
complementary  
color  
is  
incorporated (for integrated time  
leveling).  
Example of Proposal 3: The fixed pattern and the motion  
picture display are reciprocally  
exchanged, in order to minimize the  
display period of the fixed pattern.  
Example of Proposal 4: During operation, the brightness  
of screen is suppressed as low as  
possible. For the display patterns,  
characters are indicated not on the  
black ground (non-picture area) but  
on the colored ground (mixture of  
R, G, B recommended).  
3. Warranty period  
Burning and faults in brightness and picture elements are  
excluded from the warranty objects.  
4. Cause of deterioration in brightness  
A major possible cause of deterioration in brightness is  
damage in the fluorescent substance due to impact caused  
by ions generated at the time of plasma discharges.  
5. Practical value for burning  
The deterioration in brightness tends to be accelerated up  
to 100 hours in the initial period. In the initial period, the  
fixed display of patterns particularly tends to cause burning.  
The practical value for burning is difficult to define in  
concrete numerals.As described below, you are advised to  
take proper measures to make the occurrence of burning  
as slow as possible.  
7. Proposed countermeasures for the plasma module  
Since the PDP is a display that uses a fluorescent substance  
like the CRT, it is a fundamental phenomenon that burning  
occurs. Unlike the CRT, the PDP gives rise to deterioration  
in the fluorescent substance due to impact caused by ions  
generated during plasma display.  
As a result of the above-mentioned improvements, it is  
possible to extend the PDP lifetime and relieve the effect  
of burning, but is impossible to realize the complete  
elimination of burning so far as a fixed pattern is displayed  
for a long time.  
6. Proposed measures taken to relieve burning  
So long as there is the reduction of brightness in the  
fluorescent substance, it is impossible to avoid the  
occurrence of burning. Therefore, to relieve burning, we  
offer you a method of entering an image input that may  
ensure reluctance to the generation of the difference in  
brightness reduction among the displayed dots.  
The images from TV broadcasting involve a high rate of  
motion picture displays.

NOTE:  
Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in  
When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach  
the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this  
monitor will not comform to mandatory FCC standards.  
Attaching the ferrite cores.  
Set the ferrite cores on the both ends of the DVI cable  
(not supplied), and the one end of the power cable (sup-  
plied).  
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas  
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to  
phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain oper-  
ating conditions, such as the continuous display of a static  
image over a prolonged period of time, can result in phos-  
phor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To protect  
your investment in this Marantz plasma monitor, please  
adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations  
for minimizing the occurrence of image burn:  
Close the lid tightly until the clamps click.  
Use the band to secure the ferrite core (supplied).

* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as  
possible without impairing image readability.  
* Display an image with many colors and color gradations  
(ie. photographic or photo-realistic images).  
* Create image content with minimal contrast between light  
and dark areas, for example white characters on black  
backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color when-  
ever possible.  
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:  
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Con-  
tinued operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts  
AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even  
cause a fire hazard.  
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not  
drop.  
3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct  
sunlight.  
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small  
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and  
have it serviced by an authorized Marantz Service  
Center.  
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,  
sharply defined borders between colors.  
Contact Marantz service center 1-800-270-4533 for other  
recommended procedures that will best suit your particu-  
lar application needs.  
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes  
flaws on the surface of the screen.  
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly rec-  
ommended to use a trained,authorized Marantz dealer.  
7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a  
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually  
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.

9 FUNCTION  
The RC2000MKII has the ability to “replicate” itself,  
downloading all of its internal pre-programmed and user-  
programmed commands to another RC2000MKII. This  
button is used when you wish to “teach” another  
RC2000MKII all of the customized commands you’ve  
already programmed in this RC2000MKII.  
Press one of these buttons once or twice to select a par-  
ticular source component. For example, to set the am-  
plifier 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 func-  
tion keys, so that you can now directly operate the laser  
disc player from the RC2000MKII. 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.  
4 POWER ON and OFF  
These two buttons are used to turn the main compo-  
nent’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 con-  
trollers, such as in-wall key pads, etc.  
Here are the button names and their functions:  
LD  
TV  
VCR  
: Laser disc player  
: Plasma Monitor PD4292D  
: Video cassette recorder  
5 SOURCE ON/OFF  
This button is used to turn the AC power on and off to  
any of yourA/V source components that have their own  
remote control turn-on and turn-off commands, such as  
TV, laser disc player, VCR, etc.  
DSS/MD : Digital satellite decoder or mini disc player  
AUX  
: Can be used for an auxiliary source com-  
ponent  
TUNER : AM/FM tuner, or AM/FM tuner section of  
a receiver  
6 MACRO 1-4  
Each of these 4 buttons can be programmed with a  
“string” of commands, called a macro, to initiate a se-  
quence 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 PD4292D, and then adjust the surround proces-  
sor 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.

Note: Press a function selector button only once to  
select the LD player, etc.  
Remember, when you press a function selector button  
only once, the RC2000MKII will not send out a remote  
control code to instruct the amplifier or receiver to  
change to that corresponding input, but the  
RC2000MKII keypad and DIRECT function commands  
will provide the selected component’s specialized re-  
mote control codes. Press a function selector button  
twice within 2 seconds to change the function of the  
amplifier or receiver.  
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 but-  
ton only once, the amplifier or receiver’s input will not  
switch to the CD input, however the RC2000MKII  
keypad and DIRECT function commands for compact  
disc operation will be activated.  
7 DIRECT  
With today’s high performance A/V systems, it is not  
unusual for each component in your system to have doz-  
ens of specialized command functions. If we were to  
duplicate all of those commands for each component  
onto the RC2000MKII 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 in-  
finitesimal 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 10 function input selectors. Each DIRECT func-  
tion may also be provided with an alpha-numeric func-  
tion indicator visible in the LCD display. You may even  
change the displayed name of each function to another  
name, if you wish.  
We have provided 10 popular function command selec-  
tor buttons, based upon the typical input selections avail-  
able with most quality A/V amplifiers (or receivers) in-  
cluding popular Marantz models.  
The function button DSS/MD is a little different from  
the others, in that when you press this button, the  
RC2000MKII will send out a command to the amplifier  
or receiver to switch to the DSS input, and then the  
8 PAGE  
Used to select any 1 of the 4 pages of 8 functions for  
each DIRECT button, as explained above.

RC2000MKII keypad and DIRECT function commands  
will be configured for DSS (digital satellite system) con-  
trol. We have included DSS commands within the  
RC2000MKII’s pre-programmed memory for RCA  
brand DSS equipment. If you have another brand of  
DSS, you can “teach” the RC2000MKII with the re-  
mote control codes of your equipment.  
F CURSOR buttons  
Some components feature menus that are navigated with  
up, down, left and right direction commands. The cur-  
sor buttons can be used to navigate within on-screen  
menus, for components such as amplifier or receiver,  
PD4292D, DSS/satellite tuner, etc. These buttons are  
also used for certain RC2000MKII programming func-  
tions.  
0 LCD window  
G MUTE  
The LCD window provides a wealth of information,  
including function selection name, DIRECT function  
names, learning and programming steps, as well as use-  
ful indicators for battery status, and helpful indicators.  
The LCD window features back-lighting, making it easy  
to view when the room ambient light is very low.  
For those components (such as amplifier or receiver, etc.)  
with a mute function, this button can be used to mute  
the sound temporarily.  
H GUIDE  
This button is intended for owners of DSS (digital sat-  
ellite system) or similar equipment, to activate the on-  
screen programming guide, used when changing chan-  
nels etc.  
A 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 opera-  
tion, even in low lighting.  
I OSD (On Screen Display)  
Some components, such as an amplifier or receiver,  
PD4292D, etc., feature on screen display for operation  
and/or programming. The OSD button can be used to  
activate the on screen display, or turn it off if desired.  
B Ten keypad  
Like a telephone key pad, the ten number buttons (0-9)  
are used to enter numeric digits, useful for finding a  
specific track on a CD, or to tune a pre-set radio station,  
etc.  
J LIGHTING  
Press this button to activate the back-lit LCD screen and  
back-lit keys independently SETUP mode. A quick  
touch is all that is necessary. The back-lighting will  
remain on for 3 seconds. If you wish, you can even re-  
program the RC2000MKII to shorten or lengthen the  
amount of time the back-lighting is activated when this  
button is pressed.  
C MEMO  
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.  
D CLEAR  
K Channel up(), down()  
This button is used to cancel certain memory or pro-  
gramming operations.  
Press this button to change the tuner, DSS or VCR pre-  
set channels to upward or downward.  
E Transport control functions  
L Transmitter window  
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  
RC2000MKII is set to LD (laser disc) mode, the trans-  
port keys will operate the laser disc player’s PLAY,  
STOP, PAUSE, FAST FORWARD, FAST REVERSE,  
NEXT and PREVIOUS track functions. Change the  
RC2000MKII function selector to VCR, and these keys  
will then operate the VCR’s transport command func-  
tions, etc.  
Infrared signals will emanate from behind this window.  
Simply aim the RC2000MKII towards the component(s)  
you wish to control. You may find that the RC2000MKII  
works fine when placed on a coffee table pointing to-  
wards your A/V system components.  
M Receiving window  
Used when learning commands from other remotes, this  
window is placed at the bottom of the RC2000MKII, so  
that the two remotes are vertically oriented for easy trans-  
fer of remote control information. Later in this guide  
we will show you which of the RC2000MKII buttons  
can be “taught” new commands from other components.

g LEARN indicator:  
Visible when the RC2000MKII is set to LEARN mode.  
Within this display, all operating messages (function  
name, mode names, etc.) are shown. When a particular  
button is pressed (such as a transport command, like  
PLAY), its status will be shown in the display for 1  
minutes. The display will continue to show the source  
function selected continuously, however.  
h NAME indicator:  
Visible when the RC2000MKII is in the learning mode,  
and function naming is being changed.  
i PAGE or MACRO indicator:  
This indicator usually functions in association with the  
PAGE button ,, but also functions as the MACRO indi-  
cator when tne MACRO button n is pressed.  
a Function indication:  
The selected source function is displayed, such as LD,  
TV, etc., up to 6 characters maximum.  
j e indicator:  
Visible when the RC2000MKII is set the beep function.  
b Status indication:  
Installing the batteries:  
The selected status of the present page, or other items,  
is displayed, up to 9 characters maximum.  
The battery compartment is located on the rear panel.  
Please use only alkaline or lithium batteries, “AA” size.  
The RC2000MKII requires four AA batteries. There are  
markings in the battery compartment to show you the proper  
battery orientation. If after installing the batteries, you  
cannot see any indication in the LCD window when a but-  
ton is pressed, re-check to ensure that the batteries are prop-  
erly positioned in the compartment.  
c Direct commands:  
8 DIRECT commands are available in 1 page, up to 4  
characters maximum.  
d Battery indicator:  
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 pre-  
viously learned codes). At this point, you should con-  
sider 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 batter-  
ies with fresh ones as soon as possible. Eventually, if  
you ignore the blinking battery indicator and do not in-  
stall 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 mi-  
croprocessor’s memory.  
The RC2000MKII 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 avail-  
able lithium “AA” batteries can even provide longer life  
than alkaline batteries, and are also recommended.  
e Transmit indicator:  
When a button is pressed, this indicator shows that an  
infrared code is being transmitted.  
f USE indicator:  
For normal operation, the USE indicator should be vis-  
ible.

RC2000MKII Basic Operation  
USE Mode:  
As supplied from the factory, the RC2000MKII is already permanently  
programmed with many pre-set commands common to Marantz and  
Philips equipment, as well as other brands of components that utilize the  
Philips RC-5 remote control language.

USE NAME  
In the unlikely event that an infrared command cannot be learned by  
the RC2000MKII, “NG” (no good) will appear in the LCD window,  
meaning that the command is not “learnable”. The RC2000MKII  
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.

3. “LD” will be indicated within the LCD window, and the function  
codes will be set to operate the laser disc player, press the function  
button again within 2 seconds as well as changing the amplifier or  
receiver’s input to laser disc.  
Continue to “teach” the RC2000MKII the rest of the source trans-  
mitter’s transport function commands, such as stop, pause, next, pre-  
vious, fast forward and rewind, by repeating steps 3, 4 and 5 above.  
6. Proceed to learn the numeric “10 keys” from the source transmitter  
to the RC2000MKII’s 10 key numeric pad ⁄2 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 RC2000MKII will revert back to the  
previous (non-LEARN) operating mode (USE).  
• 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 mode  
button 1 with the tip of a paper clip, and select the USE mode. The  
LCD display window will continue to display the USE indicator, and  
all of the newly memorized codes will be available (see Figure 3).  
4. Now you can operate the laser disc player. When a button is pressed,  
the  
symbol indicates that a remote code is being transmitted.  
Note that for a particular source component, not every button may  
have a command programmed for it. In that case, nothing would be  
indicated.  
5. Using the DIRECT buttons D-1 through D-8, PAGEs 1 through 4, up  
to 32 different specialized commands are available for each FUNC-  
TION, up to a total of 320 specialized commands (32 direct com-  
mands times 10 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 RC2000MKII 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 8:

At this point, you may wish to put this guide aside temporarily, and  
begin using the RC2000MKII with your A/V system. If you already  
have any Marantz components, or Philips and/or other brands of com-  
ponents that use the RC-5 remote control language, you can begin  
controlling those components with the RC2000MKII right away. Take  
some time to become comfortable with the operation of the  
RC2000MKII. We think that its intuitive key pad layout and easy to  
read LCD window will permit you to quickly become familiar with  
its operation.

For any button for which a new code was not learned, the factory  
programmed RC-5 code will still transmitte as usual.  
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 necessary  
to “teach” your RC2000MKII remote codes from other components  
you may have in your system.  
Note: POWER ON/OFF 4 code can be learned regardless of the  
function button selection:  
Programming the DIRECT mode buttons 7:  
The following example will show how to memorize the SIDE-A function  
command of another brand of laser disc player into the D1 direct button.  
1. Using a sharp point (such as the tip of a paper clip), press the opera-  
tion MODE button 1 to switch the RC2000MKII to LEARN mode.  
2. Place the laser disc player’s supplied infrared remote controller so  
that its transmitter window is facing the infrared sensor window of  
the RC2000MKII about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.  
3. Press the LD function button 9 on the RC2000MKII.  
4. Using the direct function page keys and 8, set the direct func-  
tion to Page 1. Press the D-1 button 7 on the RC2000MKII.  
LEARN mode:  
The RC2000MKII has the ability to learn remote codes for just about any  
component in your A/V system. If the original component was supplied  
with an infrared remote control, its commands can be learned by the  
RC2000MKII. If you have another brand of laser disc player, for exam-  
ple, you can program the RC2000MKII with its codes.  
For example, we’ll show you how to “teach” the RC2000MKII com-  
mands from another brand of laser disc player.  
1. Using a sharp point (such as the tip of a paper clip), press the opera-  
tion MODE button 1. Within the LCD display, the LEARN indica-  
tor will begin blinking.  
2. Place the laser disc player’s supplied infrared remote controller so  
that its transmitter window (usually at the top) is facing the infrared  
sensor window of the RC2000MKII (at the bottom), about 5 cm (2  
inches) apart.  
3. Press the LD function button on the RC2000MKII.  
4. Press the play button ⁄5 on the RC2000MKII.

5. Press and hold the corresponding SIDE-A button on the laser disc  
player’s remote transmitter until the “OK” indicator appears in the  
RC2000MKII LCD window or beep sounds emit. The RC2000MKII  
changes to the RENAME mode automatically as next step. A func-  
tion name of the DIRECT function button is blinked, you can re-  
name 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 to referece.) If you need not to rename, press the OK  
button and other button 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 8 to go to Page 2, and you can pro-  
gram more direct function keys.  
7. After memorizing all codes to all DIRECT function buttons, press  
the operation MODE button 1 with the tip of a paper clip and return  
the RC2000MKII to the USE mode. Now, the newly memorized  
codes are usable from the RC2000MKII.  
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 combi-  
nation.  
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 ⁄6 the left side of the status indicator begins 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 8, this will con-  
firm the re-written characters in place as well for the page you just fin-  
ished re-naming. You have up to 9 letters, numbers or other characters  
available for each status name.  
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 10 main function selection buttons  
9. You have up to 4 characters available for each direct function button  
name.  
After completing all re-writing of any of the names, press the OK button  
within the cursor keys F, or switch to another function button (such as  
CD). If, during re-naming, a button has not been pressed for 1 minutes,  
the RC2000MKII will revert to the prior operating mode (USE) auto-  
matically.  
1. Using the tip of a paper clip, press the operation MODE button 1  
until the NAME indicator appears and begins to blink in the LCD  
window.  
If re-writing of all of the desired direct mode functions has been com-  
pleted, use the pen tip to press the operation MODE button 1, and select  
the “USE” mode. Now, all of the re-written names are available for use.  
2. Choose a button that you wish to re-name, in this case, press the  
“LD” function button 9. 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.  
3. Choose the desired letter or number by pressing the 10 keypad but-  
tons B. Each 10 keypad button has 4 characters attached to it as  
follows:  
How to clear (erase) the memorized codes  
(and any re-written names):  
The RC2000MKII 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 oc-  
cupy 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:

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).  
Erasing the memory assigned to a particular button:  
Press and hold the CLEAR button ⁄4 and press the button that you wish to  
erase 2 times. The code previously learned by that button will be erased,  
and will then be either empty, or the original factory provided RC-5 code  
will re-appear in its place.

in the display. By pressing the right cursor button , the letter “L”  
is confirmed in the first character space in the LCD window and the  
next character position begins blinking. If you wish to erase a previ-  
ously memorized character, position the cursor over the character  
and put the SPACE character in its place (the SPACE character is ten  
key pad number 0 pressed four times, from the above character chart).  
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 8, characters in the previous page  
are also confirmed in place.  
The name re-writing operation must be done on a function by func-  
tion basis, that is, re-write the names for all of the LD direct func-  
tions, then switch to another function such asVCR, and begin the re-  
writing process anew to re-name theVCR direct function commands.

Advanced Programming Techniques  
All codes and names which were previously memorized for each of the  
functions (such as TV, LD, VCR, etc.) in pages can be erased. Press and  
hold the CLEAR button D and press the < or > button 8 2 times. You

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 mac-  
ros to carry out common repetitive typing tasks. During the day to day  
operation of an A/V system, you might find yourself pressing the same  
combination of remote control buttons often.  
The RC2000MKII features the ability to “learn” a sequence of infrared  
commands, and “assign” that sequence to a single button, called a MACRO  
button 6. 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:

Press and hold the CLEAR button D, 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 but-  
ton, 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.  
Macro commands are available when the RC2000MKII is set to either  
USE modes.  
Figure 6  
To program a macro, first identify which commands you wish to memo-  
rize, 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).

The “M1-00” indication signifies Macro number 1, no steps yet pro-  
grammed. As each macro step is programmed, the “00” indicator will  
advance by one digit-”01”, “02”, etc. After the first macro step is pro-  
grammed, two additional digits (with a decimal in between) become vis-  
ible at the end of the status line, showing the timing value for each step  
(see Figure 10).  
If you wish to finalize the complete erasure process, press the OK button  
within the cursor keys F. If you do not wish to proceed with the com-  
plete erasure process, simply press any key other than OK. Remember,  
the RC-5 codes as supplied from the factory cannot be erased from  
memory, but they can be replaced with different codes as you wish.  
By now, you have learned how to memorize codes from other brands  
of components, including changing the various function, status, and  
direct function names.  
Figure 10  
Before continuing on to the more advanced RC2000MKII program-  
ming techniques, you may wish to continue “teaching” the  
RC2000MKII 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 RC2000MKII as  
you’d like, and possibly changed some or all of their names as well,  
then feel free to proceed to the next section.

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 ⁄6, 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 sec-  
onds, 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.  
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 experi-  
ment with different sequence timings to obtain the correct operation  
results, by using the adjustment method described above.  
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 func-  
tion button selections can be incorporated in the macro sequence, but on  
playback, the RC2000MKII will only send out a function selection infra-  
red 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 RC2000MKII 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 re-  
ceiver’s input to TV (but will send out any special TV commands that  
you included in the macro sequence).  
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 MACRO2 button 6 , 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:To AMP button is not include the above functions buttons.  
Programming a macro under a function selector key:  
If you wish, you can also program a macro that can be activated by press-  
ing one of the function selector 9 keys. The programming steps are  
similar to the steps outlined for programming a macro number button 6.  
The following example shows how to program a macro under the LD  
(laser disc) function selector 9:  
(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 tel-  
evision, switch to the television’s AUX video input, power up the laser  
disc player, and begin laser disc playback)  
Note: To memorize the cursor button F, press and hold the  
LIGHTING button J before pressing the cursor button.  
When programming macro steps, note that the following but-  
tons would not normally be included in a macro sequence,  
and are therefore not available for inclusion in a macro:  
MODE 1, MACRO 2, CLONE 3, PAGE 8,VOLUME A, MEMOC,  
CLEAR D and LIGHTING J.  
To check to see which MACRO buttons 6 have been programmed with  
macros, at the beginning of the macro learning sequence the four numeri-  
cal (1 through 4) indicators at the bottom of the LCD window will show  
a box around the number for each MACRO button that already has a  
macro assigned to it (see Figure 11, which shows that only MACRO but-  
ton number 1 has a macro assigned to it).  
1. Press the MACRO 2 operation mode button with the tip of a paper  
clip.  
2. Press the LD function button 9.  
3. Press the following buttons:  
POWER ON, LD, AMP, direct function D-5 (PRO LOGIC selector)  
in page 1, TV*, SOURCE ON, direct function D-4 (VIDEO input  
selector) in page 1, LD*, SOURCE ON, and PLAY.  
4. Press the MACRO 2 button with the tip of a paper clip. The  
RC2000MKII will revert to the normal mode and save the macro  
under the LD function button.

In the event that you wish to revise a programmed macro sequence, search  
the step number you wish to change by using the cursor button and ▼  
⁄6, and then re-enter the new command. If you memorized different com-  
mands than have already been programmed, then the previous macro se-  
quence will be erased and re-written over with the new sequence. To add  
the new command, press the MEMO button at your desired point. To  
delete the sequence, press the CLEAR button at your desired point.  
During macro programming, if a button is not pressed within 1 minutes,  
the mode will automatically revert to the original mode (USE).  
When you have completed the macro programming sequence, press the  
MACRO 2 operation button with the the tip of a paper clip. The “END”  
indication appears in the LCD display window. When you release the  
MACRO button, all indications will revert to the initial status.  
There is one more important point to note about programming a macro  
sequence. During a macro sequence, you may include more than one  
function selection button to access some transport and/or other commands.  
Depending on the macro sequence, this might result in the amplifier or  
receiver’s function selection to be inadvertently changed as well when  
the macro is played back. The RC2000MKII has a special feature to  
prevent this from occurring, allowing you to access the special commands  
available under each RC2000MKII function button during a macro play-  
back sequence, while at the same time prevent the amplifier or receiver  
from constantly switching its input source back and forth at the same  
time.

For a complete home theater system, with numerous components from  
many different manufacturers, you may find that you have stored dozens,  
even hundreds of different codes, along with specialized names, macros,  
etc. We have provided a very quick and simple procedure that allows you  
to download the entire customized memory contents of one RC2000MKII  
remote control into another, fresh RC2000MKII.  
Note that this sequence will operate a Marantz CD player (or any other  
CD player equipped with the RC-5 remote control language). If you  
have another brand of CD player, you may wish to check its owner’s  
manual to see if direct track selection is possible via remote, or if the  
macro sequence needs to be adjusted according to the programming steps  
required by your CD player.

5. It the source RC2000MKII’s memory contents are at or near full  
capacity, the copying process will take about 3 minutes. After com-  
pletion of the copying (cloning) process, press the CLONE button  
3 on both RC2000MKII’s with the tip of a paper clip, and select the  
OFF mode.  
Toclone(duplicate) the memory contents of one RC2000MKII  
into another RC2000MKII, please follow these steps:  
1. Place the source RC2000MKII (the one with all of the customized  
commands, names, macros, macro sequences, and the like) with its  
infrared transmitter window L facing the infrared sensor M of an-  
other “fresh” RC2000MKII (5 cm, or 2 inches apart).  
2. Press the CLONE button 3 of the source RC2000MKII with the tip  
of a paper clip, and select “CLONE TX” (clone transmit) mode (see  
Figure 20).  
Then, you’ll have two identically programmed RC2000MKII remotes,  
one of which can again be used as your system’s primary remote  
control, and you’ll have the added confidence of knowing that in the  
event of inadvertent programming (or memory contents being cleared  
somehow), you can simply retrieve the “backup” RC2000MKII that  
you’ve safely tucked away, and within minutes restore the program-  
ming contents of the original RC2000MKII with your customized  
configuration.

Other Functions  
The Marantz RC2000MKII includes the ability to tailor the light-  
ing features according to your preferences. As supplied from  
the factory, the RC2000MKII has a lighting features (and light-  
ing timings):  
1. 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 defeat the lighting function entirely.  
There is also a lighting button J, so that in any light situations, 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.  
3. Press the CLONE button 3 of the learning (receiving) RC2000MKII  
with the tip of a paper clip or a similar object, and select “CLONE  
RX” (clone receive mode). Then press the PLAY button E.

RC-5 Shipped destination:  
As mentioned earlier in this guide, the RC2000MKII 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 RC2000MKII, according to 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 (US) users, while the  
other code set is for REST users. Your RC2000MKII has been set at the  
factory for US (United States) codes. It can be easily changed, if you  
wish.  
4. Press the source RC2000MKII’s transport control PLAY E button  
to begin the infrared data transmission sequence. If you wish to  
duplicate only 1 to 8 function’s memory, press function button(s)  
you wish before pressing the PLAY button. Now the “LEARN”  
indicator starts to blink. (see Figure 23)

After all bars are lit up on both displays, “TX OK” (transmission OK)  
will appear in the source RC2000MKII’s LCD window, and “RX OK”  
(reception OK) will appear in the “cloned” RC2000MKII’s LCD win-  
dow, confirming the end of the copying process (see Figures 24 and 25).

Please be sure that, during the copying process, neither RC2000MKII is  
physically disturbed (ideally, they should be placed on a table or other  
surface, and not hand-held during the copying process). If, for some  
reason, the copying process was interrupted, the “clone” RC2000MKII’s  
LCD display window will indicate “RX NG” (reception no good). Sim-  
ply begin the clone process anew by repeating the above steps.  
Note: The cloning is available between the same remote control  
unit series only therefore the RC2000MKII cannot be cloned by  
RC2000.

Direct Command Functions Listing  
Press the D-5 direct function button, and you can then set the time (in  
seconds) directly using the numeric key pad B buttons. 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 (which would use up more  
battery life than a lower figure, such as 3 or 5 seconds). “2” is set when  
shipped from the factory. You can set “OFF” to input “0”.  
BEEP sound  
Within the RC2000MKII LCD window, each of the 8 Direct Function  
buttons has 4 character label attached for pre-programmed remote com-  
mands. These commands can be used with various MarantzA/V compo-  
nents, or other components using the Philips RC-5 remote control lan-  
guage.  
You can easily replace the factory-supplied remote command codes with  
different codes from other brands of equipment. Most functions that are  
supplied apply to a wide variety of equipment from many companies.  
The following list shows the remote code assignments for the direct func-  
tion buttons, for each of the 10 main function selector buttons, as sup-  
plied from the factory. You can add or replace function commands, in-  
cluding re-naming them if you wish, in order to customize the  
RC2000MKII for your own particular selection of A/V components.  
The beep sounds when press any buttons.  
The beep sound level can be set to decrease or increase 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 the “+” indi-  
cation as the beep sound is increaded; + ++ +++ ++++

Battery life:

Battery 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.  
As explained earlier in the guide, the RC2000MKII’s sophisticated  
battery conservation system will advise you long before the battery  
power is fully exhausted, and will further warn you to replace the bat-  
teries by simply becoming inoperative at a certain point. The custom-  
ized 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 RC2000MKII use the non-  
volatile memory. Alkaline (and the newer lithium) types are recom-  
mended for longest battery life.

2) Error Processing  
• When the communication interval is vacant for more  
than 4 ms, thereafter a received Command 1 will be  
recognized. If, at this time, meaningful data cannot  
be recognized, that data will not be recognized (as  
valid data).  
• An ACK will not be returned unless the receive data  
error, the check sum error, and the receive data are  
all taken in.  
Check sum  
Command 1  
Command 1, along with command 2, is a number used to  
distinguish each command.  
In the case of ACK, when the lower order 4 bits is FH (as  
in 3FH and 7FH), this indicates that the commands and  
data of the supported equipment have been received. When  
the lower order 4 bits is BH (as in 3BH and 7BH), this  
indicates that unsupported commands and data have been  
received.  
Communications Flow  
External equipment  
e.g., Personal computer  
Plasma monitor  
Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2  
Unit ID 1 and unit ID 2 are numbers used to identify the  
equipment that is to be connected.  
60H is used for the plasma monitor and 80H is used for  
external control equipment such as a personal computer.  
Running Sense  
Running Sense  
Running Sense  
1) Unit ID 1: Indicates the equipment sending the signal  
2) Unit ID 2: Indicates the equipment receiving the signal  
Command 2  
Command 2, along with command 1, is a number used to  
distinguish each command.  
Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK  
1) The check sum described below and RS-232C odd  
parity are used together for a check of the received data.  
The check sum is the lower order 8 bits of one frame of  
sent or received data comprising the sum total of  
Command 1, Unit ID 1 and 2, Command 2, Data  
Length, and Data.  
The plasma monitor regularly transmits a Running Sense  
command at an interval of approximately 1 second.  
(Running Sense command: 1FH 60H E0H 88H 00H E7H)  
This command is used to recognize optional equipment.  
The return of an ACK is not required when external equip-  
ment such as a personal computer has been connected.  
Note that destruction of this data is recommended when it  
is taken in.  
When various commands are to be sent from external equip-  
ment such as a personal computer, the plasma monitor is  
always receive enabled.  
Note that when an ACK has not been returned from the  
plasma monitor in 1.5 seconds, a resending of the com-  
mand is recommended.

Limited Warranty for the Marantz SLIM SERIES PLASMA MONITOR  
and brown outs, damages that occur during shipping  
or transit, or damage which is attributed to acts of God.  
Who is covered?  
You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty serv-  
ice.  
10) Incidental or consequential damages resulting from the  
product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of  
incidental or consequential damages, so the above ex-  
clusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you  
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights  
that vary from state to state.)  
What is covered?  
1) Warranty coverage begins the day you purchase your  
Plasma Television, and continues for a period of one  
year.  
2) Marantz America will provide in-home warranty re-  
pair.  
3) Marantz America will incur all labor charges for re-  
pairs during the warranty period.  
4) MarantzAmerica will incur all freight charges for war-  
ranty repairs, both to Marantz and the return to the cus-  
tomer.  
We suggest keeping all packing materials for any ship-  
ping that might be required.  
5) All parts, including repaired and replaced parts are cov-  
ered only for the original warranty period.  
11) Commercial or institutional use.  
12) Any other cause which does not relate to product de-  
fect.  
13) Burns or residual images upon the phosphor of the  
tubes.  
Note: Pixel defect  
Plasma is one of the most advanced technologies for con-  
sumer products. The panel is made by high precision tech-  
nology, however some pixel defects may be found on the  
Plasma display panel. We are trying our best to control the  
quality in order to reduce the number of defective pixels. It  
is almost impossible to have zero pixel defects, even using  
the most advanced technology. This is not a problem only  
for Marantz, but all Plasma manufacturers. Therefore we  
have to note that the warranty does not cover the Plasma  
display panel for pixel defects. We appreciate your under-  
standing.  
When the warranty on the product expires, the warranty  
on all replaced and repaired parts also expires.  
What is excluded?  
Your warranty does not cover:  
1) Labor charges for installation or setup of the product,  
cleaning, adjustment of customer controls on the prod-  
uct, and installation or repair of antenna systems out-  
side of the product.  
Before requesting service:  
Please check your owner's manual before requesting serv-  
ice. Adjustments of the controls and hook up guidelines  
discussed there may save you a service call.  
2) Improper installation, removal or maintenance, or fail-  
ure to follow instructions supplied with the product.  
3) Reception problems caused by signal conditions from  
cable or antenna systems outside the product.  
To get warranty service:  
Repair must be performed by an authorized service center.  
If you do not know of a Marantz authorized Plasma Tel-  
evision service center, contact your dealer. If your dealer  
is an authorized service center, they will arrange for repair.  
If your dealer is not a Marantz authorized Plasma Televi-  
sion service center, they will direct you to an authorized  
service center. You can also call 1-800-270-4533 for an  
authorized Marantz service center in your area.  
4) Repair, attempted repair or modification performed by  
anyone other than an authorized MarantzAmerica serv-  
ice center.  
5) Any product, on which the serial number has been de-  
faced, modified or removed.  
6) Warranty is void if purchase was made from anyone  
other than an authorized Marantz dealer.  
7) Warranty is void if purchased from outside The United  
States of America.  
Optimum performance:  
For optimum performance and picture quality, the Plasma  
monitor is only guaranteed up to 6,230 feet above see level.  
8) Warranty only valid in the United States of America.  
9) Damage due to lightning or power line surges, spikes
