Device Buttons

Eight round buttons on the RR-1090 select which command set is active and which component will be controlled. For example, press the AV1 button and the RR-1090 becomes the remote control for your Rotel Surround Sound Processor. Press the TV but- ton and the RR-1090 becomes the remote control for your TV set.

To operate the RR-1090, first press the DEVICE key for the desired component. Then, press basic or menu COMMAND buttons to send the infrared commands for that component.

NOTE: The AV1, AV2, and AV3 DEVICE keys can be used for any type of component.

Basic Command Buttons

The POWER button on the right side of the remote plus two large round 4-way buttons and two smaller round buttons in the center of the RR-1090 duplicate the primary functions for your components – power, volume, channel up/down, play, fast forward, pause, etc. The commands for each button vary, depend- ing on the selected DEVICE button.

Menu Command Keys

and LCD Display

At the top of the RR-1090 is a group of 12 rectan- gular buttons surrounding an LCD display. These MENU COMMAND keys provide additional func- tions shown by menu labels appearing in the dis- play adjacent to each button.

The function of these buttons varies depending on the type of component selected by the DEVICE but- tons and the menu page displayed.

PAGE Button

Each component selected by a DEVICE button can have up to 48 menu commands. These commands appear in the LCD display in groups (or pages) of twelve. Press the PAGE button to advance to the next page of commands, with new labels appearing in the LCD display. Each press of the PAGE button jumps to the next group for that component, eventually cy- cling back to the original page.

MACRO Buttons

Four buttons labeled M1, M2, M3, and M4 provide a special macro function – sending a sequence of up to 10 commands. For example, a macro sequence could turn on the TV set, select channel 5, turn on the surround processor, and select the TV input.

Two of the MACRO buttons (M3 and M4) are also used in customizing the RR-1090.

Menu Button

This button activates and selects between a series of menu screens in the LCD display used for custom- izing the RR-1090. The MENU button is not used during normal operation.

Power Button

In addition to serving as a basic command button, the POWER button is also used during the SETUP procedure when searching the database of IR com- mand codes.

Serial Connector

This 4-pin modular connector on the back of the RR-1090 can be used to connect the remote to a standard DB-9 serial connector on a PC using the supplied cable.

Using PC-LINK software supplied with the unit, codes and commands can be uploaded and/or down- loaded from a Windows® 95/98 computer to the RR-1090 remote. This allows easy transfer of one remote’s programming to other RR-1090 remotes as well as simplified customization. See the section on PC-LINK software in this manual.
