TUNER

These buttons are used to control tuner functions.

Note that the FM/DAB lights indicate into which mode you are switching the remote control.The lights only illuminate for five seconds to conserve battery power.

If neither light is illuminated this does not mean that the remote control is not working!

(UP and DOWN)

Perform the same function as the buttons on the front panel (see page 7).

ENTER

Performs the same function as the ENTER button on the front panel (see page 7).

SELECT

Performs same function as the SELECT button on the front panel. It allows you to use the remote’s volume switch in the same way you use the control dial on the front panel – to adjust various amplifier settings (see page 7).

Note that pressing + corresponds to turning the Control knob clockwise, to anticlockwise.

Source selection buttons

These operate in the same way as the source selectors on the front panel of your C30.
