Rotel RR-990 owner manual Troubleshooting, Error indicator

2.Make sure you’ve selected a Complete, Basic, or Custom view for each of the RR-990’s eight Control Panels. (If you’re only using the RR- 990 to replace 5 other remotes, you need only select the appropriate view for five Control Panels, etc.)

3.Turn the Function switch on the RR-990’s rear panel to the On position. One end of an open paper clip makes a handy tool!

4.Select the desired Control Panel by pressing the appropriate Component Selector at the bottom of the RR-990’s LCD touch screen.

5.Press the “Learn” button (top row of the LCD touch screen) for approximately 2 seconds. (The Learn indicator will come on: You’re now in the Learn mode.)

6.Aim the emitter end of the original remote controller (the end you normally point at what- ever component you’re trying to control) at the receptor end of the RR-990 (the bottom of the unit), in a “head to tail” configuration an inch or two away.

7.Continuously press the button on the RR-990’s Control Panel that you want to program with a command code from the original remote.

8.At the same time, continuously press the but- ton on the original remote to generate the sig- nal you want the RR-990 to learn.

9.The RR-990’s Learn indicator will blink to sig- nal you that it is learning the command.

10.When the RR-990 learns that command, the OK indicator will come on to signal successful completion of that cycle.

11.To program other buttons on the same Control Panel, simply repeat steps 7 and 8 above.

12.To end a learning session, press the “Learn” button again. The Learn indicator will go out. (As a safety measure, the RR-990 will auto- matically exit Learn mode if no button is pressed within two minutes.)

13.To prevent accidental erasure, make sure you place the rear panel Function switch in the Off position.

Troubleshooting

Occasionally, the learning process goes awry. (Remem- ber your own school days?) Here are some notes to help if you encounter difficulties:

The Error indicator:

•If you see an Error indicator during program- ming, repeat steps 7 and 8.

•If the Error indicator blinks, the RR-990’s memory is most likely full and you will need to delete some button functions from memory be- fore the RR-990 will be able to learn new com- mands. (See Deleting Individual Function Commands in Section 3 for more details.)

•If the Error indicator shows steadily after sev- eral tries, your original remote controller may use an incompatible data format that the RR-

990can not learn. Occasionally, the original data format can temporarily “freeze” the RR-

990.If this happens, just remove and immedi- ately replace the batteries. This will restore the RR-990 to its original operating status.

•If problems persist, ask your dealer for assis- tance or call your Rotel distributor and ask for Technical Support.
