Using the remote control
CR-389 Remote Control
The CR-389 remote control gives access to all functions 
available on the front panel of the A70. It also has 
controls to operate Arcam CD players, AM/FM tuners and 
DAB tuners. The remote control transmits Philips RC-5 
type codes.
Source selection buttons 
These operate in the same way as the source 
selectors on the front panel of your integrated 
amplifier.
Volume and   (mute)
Press + to increase volume or – to decrease the output 
volume of the amplifier.
Press   to mute the speaker connections and preamp 
outputs. Both tape outputs and the headphone socket 
remain active. Mute is disabled either by pressing   
again, or by adjusting the volume. 
You can use the remote’s volume control in conjunction 
with the SELECT button to adjust balance, tone and 
amplifier settings.
TUNER
These buttons are used to control tuner functions.
Note that the FM/DAB lights indicate into which mode 
you are switching the remote control. The lights only 
illuminate for five seconds to conserve battery power.  
If neither light is illuminated this does not mean that 
the remote control is not working!
NOTE: Remember to install the two supplied AAA 
batteries before trying to use your remote control!
Do not place anything in front of the IR receiver on 
the left of the A70, or the remote control may not 
work. 
CD controls 
These offer basic controls of Arcam CD players
SP1 and SP2
These buttons allow you to select and deselect the main 
(SP1) and secondary (SP2) sets of speakers attached to 
your amplifier (see page 6).
Power/Standby
Toggles the amplifier between standby mode and full 
power mode. The power indicator light next to the power 
button on the front panel is red if the amplifier is in 
standby, amber while the amplifier is powering up (this 
only takes a few seconds) and green when the amplifier 
is powered up.
DISP (display)
Cycles through the settings ‘Bright’, ‘Off’ and ‘Dim’. 
Turning the display ‘Off’ generally gives a slight 
improvement in sound quality.
SELECT
Performs same function as the SELECT button on the 
front panel. It allows you to use the remote’s volume 
switch in the same way you use the control dial on 
the front panel – to adjust various amplifier settings 
(see page 8).
Note that pressing + corresponds to turning the 
Control knob clockwise, –  to anticlockwise.
ENTER
Performs the same function as the ENTER 
button on the front panel (see page 6).
