Remote Control

Independent Remote Control

The system remote of the HK 970 can control the amplifier and compatible Tuners, CD Players and CD Recorders. The remote In jack of units without an integrated IR receiver must be connected to the amplifier's remote control output jack so that the system remote control can operate them.

The Function Table below will show all functions of the HK 970 and external devices that can be controlled by the HK 970 remote.

Important Notes:

•To remote control a tuner, CD Recorder or CD Player, the appropriate input (”TUNER”, ”CDR” or ”CD”) must have been selected with the source buttons of the remote control (selecting on the front panel is not sufficient).

•Note that DVD players or tape decks cannot be controlled by the remote.

•To control a compatible CD Recorder ”CDR” must be selected as input and the drive to be controlled (CDP or CDR) must be selected appropriately with the ”CDP SELECT” or ”CDR SELECT” buttons.

Operating Conditions

The control unit operates effectively within a distance of 7 meters and an angle of 30° from the amplifier. Using the control near fluorescent lights may shorten this range, as will any dust or dirt that accumulates on the front of the remote control or the remote sensor area of the amplifier. Also avoid blocking the line of sight between amplifier and remote.

The control unit is powered by two AA batteries, included with your amplifier. When you replace weak batteries, replace both at the same time. When the remote is to be unused for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent damage from corrosion.
