Rotel Comprehensive Guide to Remote Control and Amplifier Features

RR-927 Remote Control

In addition to the Second Zone functions the RR-927 remote con- trol duplicates most of the functions of the RA-985BX front panel controls. It can also operate all current 900 series remote control- lable components. Depending on the components you have, it may be necessary to reprogram the RR-927 with a new “code” using the procedure described in the “Reprogramming” section. The RR-927 is initially preset to operate the following components:

Amplifier (code A2) – RA-985BX, RA-945, RC-995 Tuner (code B1) – RTC-940AX, RX-950AX, RT-940AX CD Player (code C1) – RCD-970BX, RCD-975 Cassette Deck (code D1) – RD-960BX
