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.
Power 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 a power 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 control stops sending IR
transmission to conserve battery life. The
remote control 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
LED flashes five times whenever you press
a button:
* * * * *
If this happens, fit two new AAA alkaline
batteries as soon as possible.
Device mode / Source keys
As the remote can control your Solo
as well as a range of other equipment,
many of the buttons have more than one
function depending on the ‘device mode’
selected on the remote control.
The device mode keys (shown below)
select the source on the Solo. If one of
these keys is pressed briefly, a command
is transmitted to change the source on
the unit.
RADIO Internal DAB/FM tuner
BT Internal Bluetooth input
MEDIA
Network input (e.g UPnP
devices), USB solid-state
device (e.g. pen drive) input
DISC Internal disc player
AV Audio-Visual HDMI input
SAT Satellite HDMI input
PVR
Personal Video Recorder
HDMI input
GAME Game console HDMI input
LINE
Phono jack analogue audio
input
AUX 3.5mm analogue audio input
STB
Set Top Box coaxial digital
input
TV TV optical audio input
Each device mode changes the behaviour
of many of the remote keys to control the
source device appropriately. For example:
in DISC mode 9 plays the previous CD
track, but in AV mode 9 issues the TV
‘channel down’ command.
The remote control remains in the
last selected device mode, so it is not
necessary to press a device mode key
before every command key if all you are
doing is playing or skipping tracks on a
CD, for example.
Navigation keys
The navigation keys steer the cursor in
setup menus or on-screen menus. They
also replicate the navigation functions
of original remotes supplied with other
home entertainment devices in your
system. The OK key confirms a setting.
Volume control
By default, the remote control is set up so
that the volume control and mute buttons
(VOL 5, VOL 6 and MUTE) always control
the volume of the Solo, regardless of
which device mode the remote is currently
set for. This is known as volume ‘punch
through’.
For example, if you are listening to a CD,
you will probably have the Solo in CD
device mode to control the CD player.
You can use the volume controls on the
remote directly to adjust the volume of
the Solo without first having to press the
AMP key to put the remote into AMP
device mode. The volume buttons ‘punch
through’ the CD device mode on the
remote to the AMP device mode.
Volume ‘punch through’ can be disabled
individually for any device mode if desired.
Customising the Solo
remote
The remote control offers a code learning
feature that allows you to copy up to 16
functions from an original remote control
onto the remote keypad. For details of
this, and other customisation features, see
“customising the remote” on page E-22.
