Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the RR-1090 Universal Remote Control. The RR-1090 can replace up to eight infrared remote controls, operating audio or video components from Rotel and other manufacturers. The RR-1090 includes command sets for hundreds of au- dio/video components plus it can learn additional commands from your existing remotes. Operation of the RR-1090 is simple and intuitive using just a few buttons and a large LCD menu display.
Key Features
•Simple programming using built-in command sets for hundreds of components
•Pre-programmed to operate Rotel components.
•Teach the RR-1090 additional commands from other remotes.
•LCD display provides simple menu-driven opera- tion with customizable labels for every command.
•Backlighting for ease of use in dark rooms along with optional beep whenever a button is pressed.
•Four MACRO keys send a sequence of up to 10 commands with the press of a button.
•Includes rechargeable batteries and charger.
•Serial cable and software for programming RR-1090 from any Windows® 95/98 computer.
Sensible Precautions
•The RR-1090 is rugged, but it is not indestructi- ble. So please don’t drop it!
•Do not expose the RR-1090 to moisture. To clean the RR-1090, use a soft, lint-free damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning solvents.

Battery Installation
and Recharging 
The RR-1090 includes 4 AA rechargeable nickel hy- dride batteries and a 9V DC adaptor/recharger. When the batteries are weak and need to be re- charged, a “LOW BATTERY” indicator appears in the display.
To install the batteries, turn the RR-1090 over and lift the cover off the battery compartment 
by pressing the release tab and lifting up. Place the four AA batteries inside (follow the polarity illustra- tions on the bottom of the compartment) and replace the cover.
To recharge batteries, insert the adaptor cable into the connector on the left side of the RR-1090 
. Plug the power adaptor/recharger into an AC wall outlet (USA: 120V/60Hz or Europe: 230V/ 50Hz). A “CHARGING” indicator appears in the display while the adaptor is plugged in.
Leave charger operating overnight for a full charge. The remote can be operated with the charger plugged in while the batteries are charging.
NOTE: You can use conventional alkaline AA batter- ies instead of the rechargeable batteries shipped with the RR-1090; however, do not use the power adaptor/charger with alkaline batteries.
Getting Started

Please review the following controls and features of the RR-1090:
IR Emitter/Sensor 
The IR Emitter/Sensor is located in the top edge of the RR-1090. It sends the IR commands and must be pointed at the desired component. It also receives IR codes from your other remotes during the LEARN- ING process or when duplicating the configuration settings from one RR-1090 to another.
