Chapter 1
Introducing the SR-525
Congratulations on the purchase of the Smarthome Slimline
Remote ControlSR-525, the easy to use and configure digital
remote control.
SR-525 lets you manage all your infrared-controlled devices,
eliminating the need to search for all your device remotes. All you
need is the SR-525. This remote control does it all for you!
SR-525’s operating concept is based on the combination of a
user-friendly touch screen panel and easy-to-access hard
buttons. The display buttons change automatically to
accommodate the various devices you wish to control. This
unique concept reduces the number of buttons for each device,
which makes it easy to find the functionyou want.
The SR-525 features eight pre-defined, customizable button
layouts for TVs, DSS/Satellite/Cable sources, Tape/Tuner,
CD/DVD players, Surround Sound Amplifiers, LD/VCDs, VCRs,
and other devices. In addition, it utilizes a multi-macro function
that allows you to initiate a chain of up to 25 commands with the
touch of a button.
This user’s guide will help you learn how to use all the
advanced features of the SR-525. It does not explain
how to use the functions for your devices. Please refer
to your devices’ user’s guide for information related to
your TV, VCR, DVD, etc.
