RR-939 Remote Control

The RSX-965 includes a handheld remote control that does far more than operate the RSX-965. The RR-939 is a full-function pro- grammable remote control that can operate up to 8 audio/video components.

A separate manual, included with the remote, gives detailed infor- mation on programming and using the RR-939 to replace all of the remote controls in your system. This section is intended to provide only that information which pertains to the use of the RR-939 to operate the RSX-965.

Note: Many functions duplicate the RSX-965 front panel controls and are listed here only for your reference. Please refer to the previous Front Panel Controls section of this manual if you need additional information.

To operate the RSX-965 with the remote, make sure that the AU- DIO mode is active by pressing the AUD button on the remote be- fore you start. If it is active, pressing command keys on the RR-939 will cause the AUDIO button to flash red. Once the AUDIO mode is active, it will stay active unless you press one of the other DEVICE buttons to control a different component.

Programming the RR-939

The RR-939 is preprogrammed from the factory to operate the RSX-965. Should the AUDIO command set on your RR-939 not op- erate the RSX-965, it’s possible that the programming had been inadvertantly changed. To reprogram the remote to operate the RSX-965:

1.Press the AUDIO button at the top of the remote while simulta- neously pressing the MUTE button and hold both for at least one second. The AUDIO button will light in red for 20 seconds, indicat- ing that you have entered the program mode. The next step must be done within this 20 second period, or the RR-939 will revert to its standard operating mode.

2.Use the NUMERIC buttons to enter the 3-digit code (001) for the RSX-965 – press 0, then 0, then 1. The AUDIO button will flash each time you enter a digit.

3.Store the code number by pressing the corresponding AUDIO button again. The button will blink twice to confirm the storage of the code in memory.
