Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the RR-949 Universal Remote
Control. It is designed to operate all current Rotel prod-
ucts as well as a wide range of popular audio and video
components from other manufacturers. You will find that
the RR-949 Remote Control is a significant improvement
over conventional remotes in overall convenience and
ease of operation.
Please take a few moments to read this user guide. You’ll
find the time well spent as it will significantly shorten
your search for remote control sanity.

Some Preliminary Precautions

• The RR-949 is surprisingly rugged but it is not
indestructible. So please don’t drop it — particularly
not on a concrete floor! With normal care, the RR-949’s
low maintenance design will let you enjoy its conve-
nience for years to come.
• When the RR-949 needs a bit of cleaning, use a soft,
lint-free damp cloth.
• Above all, don’t try to take the RR-949 apart. There isn’t
anything inside you can fix anyway and disassembly
will void the warranty.

Battery Installation

Remove the RR-949 and the package of 4 AAA batteries
from the packing material. Turn the RR-949 over and lift
the cover off the battery compartment by compressing
the release tab and lifting up.
Place the four AAA batteries inside (follow the polarity
drawing on the bottom of the compartment) and replace
the cover. MAKE SURE you install the batteries correctly!
Using the RR-949
The RR-949 can replace up to eight different remote con-
trols. Stored in memory are control codes to operate your
specific audio/video components, selected from hun-
dreds of models in the RR-949’s extensive database. Pro-
gramming the RR-949 to operate your components takes
just minutes and need only be done once. See the PRO-
GRAMMING section of this manual for easy to follow in-
structions.
