The RC3200 is an intelligent remote control designed to
control virtually all audio video devices that understand
infrared (IR)remote control signals. Its easy-to-use LCD
touchscreen and its intuitive interface make it a perfect
remote control for every user.
The RC3200 is completely customizable and pro-
grammable. Although the RC3200 is pre-programmed for
Marantz components, a collection of built-in pages with
pre-arranged button art enables you to easily choose the
perfect interface for any non-Marantz component. The
RC3200 easily “learns” commands from your original
remote control. See page 15 for more details.
To tame complicated home theaters, the RC3200 will
record your favorite sequences of commands as Macros,
so that dozens of commands are initiated with the touch
of one button. See page 18 for more details.
With the RC3200 Setup Programming Software for PC
you can layout your pages, create and label new buttons
to completely personlize your RC3200. In the future, the
software will enable you to update your RC3200. You can
download the software from www.marantz.com. See page
24 for more details.

3 Learning From Other Remotes
Overview of Learning
If you own any non-Marantz components, you can program
RC3200 to reproduce IR signals from your existing remote controls
via RC3200’s learning eye. To do this, place RC3200 and the
device’s remote control on a flat surface, 1 to 4 inches (2 to 10 cm)
apart.
To learn commands from other remote controls, RC3200 has to be
in Learn mode. Switching to Learn mode is only possible from a
specific device, not from the Home Pages. See “The Mode Button
and the Mode Menu” on p. 10.
Per device you can learn all soft and hard buttons on the RC3200,
except for:
• the Backlight button;
• the Back and FWD buttons;
• the Page Up and Page Down buttons;
• the Mode button;
• the “S” (Status) button;
• the Home button.

The Learn Sequence
1 From the Home page, select the device, e.g. TV, with the but-
tons you want to teach new commands to.
The device screen appears.
2 Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds.
The Mode Menu appears.
3 Tap Learn on the Mode Menu.
RC3200 is now in Learn Mode. ‘Learn’ and the label of the
selected device appear at the
top of the touch screen.
4 Use, if necessary, the Page Up or Page Down button to go to
the next button you want to learn.
5 Press the soft or hard button you want to learn on the RC3200.
T
he Learn label changes to Learning, which means RC3200 is
ready to receive commands froman existing remote control. The
RC3200 will wait for 3 seconds to receive an IR code from
another remote control.
Note When a hard button is pressed to learn, there is no on screen
feedback to indicate which button is pressed.
6 Press and hold the button on the existing remote control you
want to learn to the RC3200.
When the RC3200 receives an IR code:
• You hear a confirmation beep;
• The label changes from Learning to OK.
The Learn sequence has been successful.
When the RC3200 does not receive an IR code in 3 seconds:
• You will hear an error beep;
• The label changes from Learning to Failed.
The Learn sequence has failed. RC3200 will return to Learn mode.
Return to step 5 of the Learn sequence to relearn the button.

Tip You do not have to wait for the OK or Failed to disappear. If you
press another button (soft or hard button), the RC3200 Learn
sequence immediately goes back to step 5.
7 Go to other pages of the selected device with the Page Up and
Page Down buttons. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you have copied
all the commands of the existing remote control.
8 Press Done when you have finished learning commands to the
buttons of your choice.
RC3200 returns to Use Mode.
You can try out the new IR codes or select another device to learn.
Tricks for Remote Controls that are “Difficult”
Replace the batteries in your original remote control. Poor battery
charge in the original remote will still operate original component
from long range, but will corrupt carrier frequency learning.
Change distance. Try increasing distance up to 4 feet. Start in
the normal 1” to 4”, then double the distance to 8” and so on.
Use a short “Tap” instead of a press and hold. A press and hold
is only really necessary when you are learning a button that in
actual operation you would sometimes press and hold (e.g. vol-
ume up and down, fast forward scan). If your system is large
and you are concerned about memory, try teaching most com-
mands as taps rather than extended press and holds.
The “Flicker” technique – rapidly tap the button while learning
(7x per second or faster). This is very useful for difficult volume
up and volume down commands from some manufacturers.
The “Swoop”- Start from 2’ away and swoop the remote towards
the learning remote. Use in absolute desperation, out of sight
from anyone who might see you. Reportedly works occasionally.
The “Flasher” – Hold an opaque object in front of the remote
and remove it then quickly replace it. This is especially useful
when you want to capture one part of a macro from another
remote.
Setting Up Your RC3200

Overview
A macro allows you to send a sequence of commands using one
single button. You can for instance, switch on your TV, select the
external input, switch on your surround receiver, select the DVD
input, switch on your DVD player and begin play. All this can be
done be pressing a single “Watch DVD” button on your RC3200.
Basically, you can assign any button as a macro button. However, it
is recommended that you use the reserved macro buttons in the
Macro Group since they are conveniently labeled with popular
Macro titles. However, any button (except those on the Home
pages) can be reprogrammed to be a Macro.
Making Reliable Macros
If your entire system is new to you, practice using the RC3200
manually for a few days before programming any macros. You’ll
find that your home theater requires many operations that require
multiple steps to do. You have to decide whether to use a Macro or
simply teach everyone how to do the procedure manually. Some
macros will behave very inconsistently and are extremely frustrating
to casual users. An example is turning on a non-Marantz home the-
ater system.
Marantz builds components that are “macro-friendly”. Instead of a
single “power” button, the remote controls have a discrete “On” and
a discrete “Off” button. With a Marantz system, you can record a
Macro that is very reliable from a series of “On” commands.
However, many other brands turn on and off with a single “Power”
button. The RC3200 cannot “look” at your components to see if
they are on or off. So, if you recorded a macro intended to power
up a non-Marantz component with a toggle power command, it
wouldn’t be very reliable. Here’s an example:
Your spouse goes out to the local video store and rents 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 spouse
touches the macro button you programmed to power up the sys-
4. Macro Planning
Setting Up Your RC3200

tem. The recorded sequence of “power” buttons is played back.
Unfortunately, since the VCR was already on, it is now off and
everything else is on. Your spouse sees no picture, assumes the
macro didn’t work, so touches the button again. This time, the
macro turns the VCR on and everything else off. Frustrating!
Sometimes, the problem is not with a toggle type “power” com-
mand, but a toggling “input” command that scrolls through multiple
tv inputs. There are some great tricks below, but sometimes, when
there is no secret trick, you must simply leave the toggle type of
command out of the macros and teach everyone in your family how
to do some things manually.
Secrets of Great Macros
Sometimes there is a reliable way to use toggle type commands in
macros. Unfortunately, it will not be written down in your compo-
nent’s instruction manual. You will have to find it through experi-
mentation and imagination. What you are looking for is an “anchor”
command that will put your component in a known state. Once it is
in a known state, you can use toggle commands in your macro.
Powering Up DVD Player Macro:
Most DVD players will turn on when off when they receive a Play
command. Thus a discrete On command is two steps,
1) DVD Play
2) DVD Stop
A discrete off command is constructed by:
1) DVD Play
2) Delay (amount of delay varies with brand and model)
2) DVD Power
Setting Up Your RC3200

Selecting Source on a TV Macro:
Many televisions will return to a particular input with either a chan-
nel up or down 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)
The Ultimate “Watch DVD” Macro
Another secret of recording great macros is to automate processes
that typically frustrate casual users. An example is the typical reac-
tion of a casual user when faced with an older DVD that refuses to
play until a menu is navigated. Typically, the menu can be
bypassed by programming the last few steps (after the DVD player
is turned on) of your “Watch DVD” macro with this sequence:
1. Stop
2. Delay (amount varies with brand and model)
3. Stop
4. Delay (amount varies with brand and model)
5. Play
Almost all DVD players will skip the Menu and begin playing the
Movie directly with this macro!
Time the Power On Delays
As you start acquiring ideas about what multiple step processes
you would like to record as macros, write down the steps. Practice
them manually and try them when all the components are OFF.
Often you will find that extensive delays are necessary immeadiatly
after a component is powered on. When you actually record your
macro, you must enter the correct amount of delay at the time of
progamming. The RC3200 does not enable you to correct the delay
time, you must reprogram the entire macro. Thus, you’ll keep more
of your hair if you time things carefully and write them down first.

5. Recording Macros
Remember, you can assign any button as a macro button.
However, it is recommended that you use the reserved macro but-
tons in the Macro Group since they are conveniently labeled with
popular Macro titles. However, any button (except those on the
Home pages) can be reprogrammed to be a Macro.
1 Navigate to the second Home page by pressing the Home but-
ton, then using either the Page Up or the Page Down buttons.
2 Select the Macro group of pages by tapping the Macro button.
3 Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds.
The Mode Menu appears.
4 Tap Macro on the Mode Menu.
A message screen appears instructing you to select the button
that will trigger the macro. RC3200 is now in Macro Mode.
5 Tap Next.
The Macro pages reappear so that you can pick the button that
you want to issue a macro.
Setting Up Your RC3200
Tap the Macro button on the second home page to

Delays Use delays to compensate
for the dead time when a
component first powers up
and will not respond to
another IR command.
Additionally, short .5 second
delays make channel
macros more reliable.
Beeps Use beeps to signal that the
macro is finished.

TIP By tapping several Delay buttons, the duration of the delay will
be increased.
