Rotel owner manual Activating the RR-1090, Sending IR Commands, Sending Macro Commands

Operating the RR-1090

This section of the manual explains the basic operation of the RR-1090 and most of its standard features.

NOTE: The RR-1090 is pre-programmed with the codes for Rotel surround sound processors stored under the AV1 device button. Rotel CD and DVD codes are stored under the CD and DVD buttons.

Activating the RR-1090

To conserve battery power, the RR-1090 goes into “sleep” mode following 60 seconds of inactivity. Press any button to activate the remote. Labels appear in the LCD display when the remote is active

Sending IR Commands

Instead of using multiple remotes to operate your system, you simply press a button on the RR-1090 to make it the remote control for your CD player or the remote control for your TV set and send com- mands to operate the desired component. Here’s how:

1.Press any button on the RR-1090 to activate the remote (if necessary).

2.Press a DEVICE button to activate the com- mand set for the desired component. For example, press the AV1 button for a Rotel surround pro- cessor. The label for your selected device appears in the center of the display.

3.Press a COMMAND button to send an IR command to the component you have selected. For example, press the VOL+ com- mand to increase the volume on a Rotel surround processor. Basic commands are available on the

large round buttons in the center of the remote and the POWER button . Addi- tional commands are available on the 12 MENU COMMAND keys at the top of the remote, corresponding to the command labels visible in the LCD display. While a COMMAND button is being pressed, the label associated with that command replaces the DEVICE name in the center of the display.

4.Press the PAGE button to see the next page of 12 available menu commands in the display. Up to four “pages” of commands may be avail- able for a particular component. Press the PAGE button repeatedly to cycle through all available groups of commands for that component. See Figure 3.

NOTE: The COMMAND buttons duplicate controls on many different types of components. Their func- tion depends on the type of component selected. Make sure that you have pressed the correct DE- VICE button before sending IR commands.

Sending Macro Commands

Four buttons on the RR-1090 (labeled M1, M2, M3, and M4) can store multiple command macro se- quences – for example, a sequence that turns on the TV set, selects channel 5, turns on the surround pro- cessor, and selects the TV input. A macro sequence is sent by pressing the MACRO button where the macro is stored.

Programming Command Codes

The RR-1090 contains hundreds of command sets for components. Programming the remote involves selecting the command sets that correspond to the components in your system and assigning each of them to one of the eight DEVICE buttons by enter- ing the 4-digit code for that component. This need only be done once during initial setup of the RR-1090.

The easiest way is to find your components and corresponding 4-digit codes from the list of codes at the end of this manual. If your component is not listed, there are alternative search methods for finding the right command set.

NOTE: Programming the RR-1090 is done in a menu- driven setup mode accessed by pressing the MENU button. At any time during the process, you can exit the setup mode and return to normal operation by pressing the MENU button twice in succession.
