Setting the Baud Rate
In order for Flash Start to be able to control your Denon or Marantz Professional media device, the
baud rate on Flash Start must be set the same as the baud rate on the device. Consult the
to see the baud rates available on each Denon and Marantz Professional media device with which
Flash Start is compatible.
To set Flash Start's baud rate to 9600 b/s, press the Fast-Forward and 1 buttons at the same
time.
To set Flash Start's baud rate to 38400 b/s, press the Fast-Forward and 2 buttons at the same
time.
To set Flash Start's baud rate to 115200 b/s, press the Fast-Forward and 3 buttons at the same
time.
Note: See the "Basic Instructions" chart on Flash Start's bottom panel for a reminder on how to
change the baud rate. Alternatively, you can download this chart by going to the Downloads tab of
Flash Start Remote Controller's product page at denonpro.com.
Note: If the baud rate is set properly, and your media device fails to receive a command from Flash
Start, the remote's button LEDs will blink three times. After they blink three times, wait one second
and then retry the button you pressed.
Example 2 (Controlling a Computer Application)
To set up Flash Start for controlling a computer application:
1. Connect the included USB cable from Flash Start to your computer. Plug the USB-B end of the
cable into Flash Start's USB port and the USB-A end of the cable into a USB port on your
computer. This is the connection through which Flash Start will control your computer
application, and it will also provide power to Flash Start.
2. Power on your computer and open the application that you would like to control (Groove Music,
Windows Media Player, Apple Music, iTunes, or YouTube).
Note: When Flash Start is recognized by your computer, it will be mounted as a disk drive.
However, Flash Start cannot be used for storing files.
