Operating the RR-939B

AUDIO Button

To operate the RX-1050 with the remote, make sure that the AUDIO mode is active by press- ing the AUD button on the remote before you start. If it is active, pressing command keys on the RR-939B will cause the AUDIO button to flash red. Once the AUDIO mode is active, it will stay active unless you press one of the other DEVICE buttons to control a different component.

Programming the RR-939B

The RR-939B is preprogrammed from the fac- tory to operate the RX-1050. Should the AU- DIO command set on your RR-939B not op- erate the RX-1050, it’s possible that the pro- gramming has been inadvertently changed.

To program the remote to operate the RX-1050, set the AUDIO Code = 001:

1.Press the AUDIO button at the top of the remote while simultaneously pressing the MUTE button and hold both for at least one second. The AUDIO button will light in red for 20 seconds, indicating that you have entered the program mode. The next step must be done within this 20 second period, or the RR-939B will revert to its standard operating mode.

2.Use the NUMERIC buttons to enter the 3-digit code (001) for the RX-1050 – press 0, then 0, then 1. The AUDIO button will flash each time you enter a digit.

3.Store the code number by pressing the cor- responding AUDIO button again. The button will blink twice to confirm the storage of the code in memory.

SHIFT Button

The SHIFT button on the remote is used to ac- cess secondary functions on several RR-939B buttons. Press the SHIFT button and then the desired button.

POWER Button

The front-panel POWER switch on the RX-1050 is a master power control. It must be pressed IN for the unit to operate. When it is in the OUT position, the unit is fully off and cannot be activated from the remote control. The POWER switch on the remote functions as a standby switch, activating or deactivating the unit. In standby mode, minimal power is still supplied to memory circuits to preserve set- tings. When the unit has AC power applied and the front-panel POWER button is pressed IN, the front-panel POWER LED lights, regard- less of whether the unit is in standby mode or fully-activated in the main room. In normal operation, use the STANDBY switch to deac- tivate the unit when you are finished listening and leave the POWER switch ON at all times. This will preserve memory functions.

Remote Sensor

This sensor receives infrared signals from the handheld remote control. Make sure you do not accidentally block this sensor with cables or accessories.

Front Panel Display

The large fluorescent display in the upper portion of the RX-1050 provides status infor- mation used in operating the AM/FM receiver (such as station frequency display, band, preset memory, etc.).
