CR-340 Remote Control

The CR-340 remote control gives access to all functions available on the front panel, plus some additional functions only available from the remote. It also has controls to operate Arcam CD and DVD players.

Source selection buttons

These operate in the same way as the source selection buttons on the front panel of your AVR100 amplifier.

RDS INFO

Displays Radio Data System (RDS) text information, if available. Press again for station frequency, and again to show station information (the default mode).

5.1

Selects the multi-channel output from a DVD audio player or external decoder source connected to the 5.1 channel input.

SLEEP

Switches the amplifier into stand by mode after a preset number of minutes. Pressing SLEEP once will set the sleep time to 90 minutes. ‘SLEEP MODE’ is shown on the display panel.

Each consecutive press of SLEEP reduces the sleep time by 30 minutes. Sleep mode is cancelled by setting the time to 0 minutes, or by pressing the POWER or STANDBY button.

TRIM Allows direct access to trim the centre, rear and subwoofer speaker outputs. Press TRIM to cycle between channels and use the and arrows to adjust levels.

MODE

Scrolls through the available surround sound modes (Stereo, Pro Logic, and Hall effect). The selection is shown in the display area for three seconds.

DYNAMIC RANGE

Compresses the dynamic range for low-level listening of Dolby Digital sources. The dynamic range may be set from 100% (the default) to 25% (maximum compression) in steps of 25%. The reduction is shown on the display.

CD/DVD functions

The CD/DVD button toggles the remote control unit into controlling an Arcam CD or DVD player: this setting is briefly confirmed by a light at the top of the controller.

CD/DVD lights

These indicate the function of the CD/DVD button at the bottom of the control. They are not related to any function on the AVR100.

The LED only stays on for 15 seconds to conserve battery life. If neither LED is lit this does not mean that the remote control unit is not working!
