Narrative:
All checks completed all normal. Took off and at approximately 500 ft AGL had the red thrust reverser unlock light come on and the auto checklist came up for the right engine. We declared an emergency followed the checklist and returned to the departure airport with the unlock light still illuminated. We returned without incident and landed as instructed by the checklist.
