INTRODUCTION Thank you for placing your confidence in Rotel. We’re sure you’ll find our RR-990 Remote System Controller a significant improvement over conventional remotes in overall convenience and ease of operation. It’s a comprehensive one-remote solution to coffee table clutter without the “multi-button madness” imposed by most other remotes. 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.
1 – BASIC ORIENTATION Out Of The Box Remove the RR-990 and the package of 4 AAA batteries from the packing material. Turn the RR-990 over and slide the cover off the battery compartment by putting your thumb on the arrowhead and pushing in the indicated direction. 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! Otherwise, you could inadvertently damage the RR-990.
Playing Around: Viewing Modes Custom Screen Configuration Take a moment to get familiar with RR-990 now. As we’ve already explained, the RR-990 gives you three ways to view each component’s control panel: Standard, Basic, and Custom. 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.
Look at the Standard Edit screen and notice that the Component Selectors at the bottom are all blinking. The only item not blinking is the icon associated with the component Control Panel you are about to customize. 3. Touch any button you think you won’t need. It will disappear and you’ll hear a double beep in confirmation. 4. Made a mistake? Don’t worry - just press the same point on the LCD touch screen again and the button will reappear accompanied by a single confirming beep. 5.
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 RR990 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.
Continuous Control Codes: • Occasionally, one of the buttons on an original remote controller generates a very long command code or continuously generates a shorter command sequence over and over again. (This sometimes happens with “Volume Up” and “Volume Down” commands for example.
Creating Macros A “macro” is simply a series of individual commands triggered by pressing one button. Macros make operating a complex home entertainment system much easier. For example, think of what you go through to play a videotape: You turn on the TV, turn on the VCR, select the TV input connected to the VCR, and, finally, put the VCR into Play mode. (This assumes, of course, that there’s a tape already in the VCR.
Using Macros Once you’ve created your macro “dream world,” you can use each one easily by pressing “Macro” at the top of the screen and then the appropriate “initiator” button described in step 5 above. All the commands contained in that macro will be transmitted to the appropriate components without a second thought on your part! Convenient, isn’t it?
