Operating the RR-1090
This section of the manual explains the basic operation
of the RR-1090 and most of its standard features.
NOTE
: The RR-1090 is pre-programmed with the
codes for Rotel surround sound processors stored
under the AV1 device button. Rotel CD and DVD
codes are stored under the CD and DVD buttons.
Activating the RR-1090
To conserve battery power, the RR-1090 goes into
“sleep” mode following 60 seconds of inactivity. Press
any button to activate the remote. Labels appear in
the LCD display when the remote is active
Sending IR Commands
Instead of using multiple remotes to operate your
system, you simply press a button on the RR-1090
to make it the remote control for your CD player or
the remote control for your TV set and send com-
mands to operate the desired component. Here’s how:
1. Press any button on the RR-1090 to activate the
remote (if necessary).
2. Press a DEVICE button to activate the com-
mand set for the desired component. For example,
press the AV1 button for a Rotel surround pro-
cessor. The label for your selected device appears
in the center of the display.
3. Press a COMMAND button
to send an IR command to the component you
have selected. For example, press the VOL+ com-
mand to increase the volume on a Rotel surround
processor. Basic commands are available on the
large round buttons
in the center
of the remote and the POWER button . Addi-
tional commands are available on the 12 MENU
COMMAND keys
at the top of the remote,
corresponding to the command labels visible in
the LCD display. While a COMMAND button
is being pressed, the label associated with that
command replaces the DEVICE name in the center
of the display.
4. Press the PAGE button to see the next page
of 12 available menu commands in the display.
Up to four “pages” of commands may be avail-
able for a particular component. Press the PAGE
button repeatedly to cycle through all available
groups of commands for that component.
See
Figure 3.
NOTE
: The COMMAND buttons duplicate controls
on many different types of components. Their func-
tion depends on the type of component selected.
Make sure that you have pressed the correct DE-
VICE button before sending IR commands.
Sending Macro Commands
Four buttons on the RR-1090 (labeled M1, M2, M3,
and M4) can store multiple command macro se-
quences – for example, a sequence that turns on the
TV set, selects channel 5, turns on the surround pro-
cessor, and selects the TV input. A macro sequence
is sent by pressing the MACRO button where the
macro is stored.
Programming Command Codes
The RR-1090 contains hundreds of command sets
for components. Programming the remote involves
selecting the command sets that correspond to the
components in your system and assigning each of
them to one of the eight DEVICE buttons by enter-
ing the 4-digit code for that component. This need
only be done once during initial setup of the RR-1090.
The easiest way is to find your components and
corresponding 4-digit codes from the list of codes
at the end of this manual. If your component is not
listed, there are alternative search methods for finding
the right command set.
NOTE
: Programming the RR-1090 is done in a menu-
driven setup mode accessed by pressing the MENU
button. At any time during the process, you can exit
the setup mode and return to normal operation by
pressing the MENU button twice in succession.
