Remote control

The CD30 is supplied with a Navigator remote control that operates this unit, and which can also operate a matching AR30 or DR30 2.1 receiver and their supplied docking station for iPod, and/or a DV30 DVD player. Always use alkaline batteries.

Important!

The default mode for remote operation is multi-functional control.

To control the CD30 in this mode, first press the CD button on the remote (which also selects the CD source).

To control other functions of an AR30 or DR30, their built-in tuners and DD30 dock for iPod or a DV30, first press the required source (e.g. MP3 for iPod, DVD for DV30, etc.) to select the right mode.

If you do not have an AR30 or DR30, you can lock your remote to CD30 control. This means that you do not need to press the CD button to access CD30 control. Hold down the CD button whilst inserting the batteries to lock the remote to CD30 control mode. To restore the default mode, remove the batteries and allow five minutes before re-inserting them.
