AMP AMP Device Mode

The ADevice Mode button configures the CR102 to control the AVR500/AVR600/AV888. Pressing this button does not affect the currently selected input on the AVR500/AVR600/AV888.

IMPORTANT: The CR102 must also be in AMP Device

Mode to control the following sources: PHONO, MCH (multichannel analogue), AUX, NET (optional network audio), USB, IPOD (for use with the optional Arcam rLead or rDock).

However to control the internal Tuner in the AVR500/ AVR600 (AM/FM/DAB or Sirius if fitted), the CR102 must first be in Tun Device Mode (see later).
