The Wave/PC remote control functions

You can use the Wave/PC remote control (Figure 11) to operate some of the basic functions included in the Wave/PC system application window. Aim the remote control at the front of the Wave/PC unit and press the button for the function you want.

The remote normally works up to 20 feet (6.1 m) in front of the radio, and six feet (1.8 m) from either side. Replace the remote control battery when the remote stops operating, or its range seems reduced (normally every year or two). Keep in mind that lighting and other room condi- tions, in addition to battery age, can affect the operating range of an infrared remote control.

Wave/PCsystem audio and your computer system

After installing the Wave/PC interactive audio system, the Wave/PC unit becomes the default speakers for your computer. This means that sounds generated by your computer system are delivered to you through the Wave/PC unit.

Sound sources and quality

When playing an AM/FM radio station what you hear is generated by the Wave/PC unit. How- ever, when listening to a CD, Web Radio station, or a music file, the audio you hear is gener- ated by your computer, not the Wave/PC unit. Because the audio is computer generated, certain factors affect the sound quality. For example, when the computer is busy printing or scanning you may experience audio drop-outs.
