Remote Control
The universal remote controller
The Receiver is supplied with a sophisticated ‘universal’
backlit remote control that can control up to eight devices.
It is pre-programmed for use with the Receiver and many
other Arcam products (FM/DAB tuners, CD players and BD
players).
With its extensive built-in library of codes, it can also be used
with thousands of third party audio-visual components –
TVs, satellite and set-top boxes, PVRs, CD players, etc. See the
list of codes at the back of this handbook.
It is also a ‘learning’ remote, so you can teach it almost any
function from an old single-device remote.
Using the remote control
Please keep in mind the following when using the remote
control:
Ensure there are no obstacles between the remote
control and the remote sensor on the Receiver. The
remote has a range of about 7 metres. (If the remote
sensor is obscured, the Z1 IR remote control input
jack on the rear panel is available. Please consult your
dealer for further information.)
Remote operation may become unreliable if strong
sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the remote
sensor of the Receiver.
Replace the batteries when you notice a reduction in
the operating range of the remote control.
Inserting batteries into the
remote control
1. Open the battery compartment on the back of
the handset. To do this, press the catch on the
battery cover as indicated by the arrow on the
catch and remove the battery cover.
2. Insert two ‘AAA’ batteries, as indicated in the
battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover. To do this, locate the lug
on the battery cover into the corresponding hole
on the short edge of the battery compartment.
Now press the opposite end of the battery cover
(with the catch) down so that the cover is flush
with the main body of the remote and the catch
clicks.
Notes on batteries:
Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as
leakage and bursting.
Do not mix old and new batteries together.
Do not use non-identical batteries together –
although they may look similar, different batteries
may have different voltages.
Ensure the plus (+) and minus (-) ends of each
battery match the direction indicated in the battery
compartment.
Remove batteries from equipment that is not going
to be used for a month or more.
When disposing of used batteries, please comply
with governmental or local regulations that apply in
your country or area.
Useful information
Backlight
A backlight comes on for eight seconds whenever a key is
pressed. This helps you use the handset in subdued lighting
conditions.
LED blinks
Short blinks indicate a valid key press.
Multiple short blinks convey information (such as a device
code) or signal the beginning and successful completion of
a programming sequence.
The symbol ‘
’ is used in the manual to indicate an LED
blink.
Timeouts and unassigned keys
Time out – After 30 seconds the remote exits the
programming state and returns to normal operation.
Stuck key timeout – After any key is pressed continuously
for 30 seconds, the remote stops sending IR transmission to
conserve battery life. The remote remains off until all keys are
released.
Unassigned keys – the remote ignores any unassigned key
presses for a particular Device Mode and does not transmit
IR.
Low voltage indicator
When the batteries are running down, the backlight flashes
briefly whenever you press a button.
If this happens, fit two new AAA alkaline batteries as soon
as possible.
