Playing Around: Viewing Modes

Take a moment to get familiar with RR-990 now.

1.Press each of the component selectors quickly. You’ll hear a confirming “double beep” and the center portion of the screen will change as you select a different component. Notice that each selector has a hidden icon that appears only when you’ve activated the Control Panel for that component. Also, notice that each component’s Control Panel takes up almost the entire center portion of the screen.

2)Now, press and hold the active component se- lector (the selector with the visible icon) for about two seconds. You’ll hear a single con- firming beep (if “beep” is enabled — see be- low) and the control panel will change to show only essential buttons. This is the Basic view- ing mode we spoke of earlier. Press and hold the same component selector again until you hear another beep and you’re back to the Com- plete mode view. It’s your choice.

The RR-990 will remember the view you’ve chosen for each individual component’s Control Panel. This lets you select, for example, a Complete view for your VCR, a Basic view for your TV, and a Custom view for your laserdisc player, etc.

To “Beep” Or Not To “Beep”

You can turn off the confirming beep by simply press- ing the component selector a second time immedi- ately after selecting the component. To reinstate the beep, just press the same selector once more!

NOTE: Look for the “beep” icon in the upper right hand corner of the POWER control. If it’s there, the beep is enabled; if not, it isn’t.

Custom Screen Configuration

As we’ve already explained, the RR-990 gives you three ways to view each component’s control panel: Stan- dard, Basic, and Custom.

Let’s look a bit more closely at the Custom viewing mode.

You may have noticed that the Standard mode was very complete — perhaps too complete for your use

while the Basic mode just didn’t provide quite enough flexibility for your system.

The Custom mode gives you the opportunity to con- figure each of the RR-990’s eight component Con- trol Panels to suit your exact needs. The Custom view option lets you delete just the buttons you decide are unnecessary from that component’s Standard Con- trol Panel. Here’s how:

NOTE: You must begin to customize a Control Panel from the Complete viewing mode.

1.Press the Component Selector for the compo- nent Control Panel you want to customize. (If “beep” is enabled, you’ll hear a double beep as you switch to the desired Control Panel.)

2.Hold the appropriate Component Selector for approximately six (6) seconds. The following things will happen as you do:

The “Beep” icon will disappear from the Power button.

The Basic screen will appear accompanied by a beep (notice that the beep icon has re- appeared).

The Standard screen will reappear accompa- nied by a beep.

A Standard Edit screen will appear accom- panied by three beeps.
