Mode mover

If your home entertainment setup contains devices of

the same type (e.g. two TVs, perhaps from different

manufacturers) you can still control both those devices

with the CR104. You simply need to reassign an unused

Device Mode key.

NOTE
Before using Mode Mover, make sure both the source

and destination Device Mode keys are unlocked (see

next section).

Example: To use the

z

key to control a

second TV

1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks

twice: * *.

2. Press

9

9 2.

3. Press the Device Mode key for the type of device

you want to control (e.g. for a TV, press a).

4. Press the Device Mode key you want to use (e.g.

z

).

5. Don’t forget to set up the CR104 to control the

second device, using one of the methods from

‘Controlling other devices’ on page E-14.

Note that volume punch-through is not applied to a

Device Mode that has been copied using Mode Mover.

However, volume punch-through functionality can be

restored when you have used Mode Mover, by copying
-

, + and @ from the AMP Device Mode to the

same physical buttons on the new moved Device Mode

using the last example shown in Key Mover.

To restore a moved Device Mode key to its

original state

1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks

twice: * *.

2. Press

9

9 2.

3. Press the Device Mode key you want to restore

twice.

Locking/unlocking a specific

Device Mode

When you first unpack your CR104 and insert the

batteries, for your convenience it is able to control

certain Arcam components automatically (e.g. DVD

players, Amplifiers, Tuners and CD Players). We achieve

this by preprogramming specific Arcam device codes

onto the relevant Device Mode keys, then locking

the Device Modes so you don’t reprogram them

inadvertently.
If you want to override these locked default settings – to

control a third-party CD player, for example – you will

first need to unlock CD Mode before setting up the

CR104 using one of the methods described at the start

of this guide.
Here are the factory default settings:

Device Mode

Default status

Default Arcam

codes

BD

2010

Alternative codes are available for multi-room solutions,

or in the case of code clashes with other manufacturer’s

products.
For example:

AMP

(system code 19)

1954

You will need to change the system code on the product

you wish to control, as well as the CR104.

NOTE
The

AMP

Device Mode can only be used to control

Arcam amplifiers like the AVR500, AVR600 and

AV888, either on its default or alternative IR system

codes.

To toggle a Device Mode lock setting:

1. Press the Device Mode key you want to unlock

(e.g. c)

2. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks

twice: * *.

3. Press

9

8 2.

<

The power LED blinks twice when being locked,

and blinks four times when being unlocked.

<

If you enter an invalid key sequence, the power

LED gives one long blink and returns to normal

operation.

While the Device Mode key is locked, the Direct Code

Setup and Move Mode functions are not available.

Copy a key between Device Modes

It is possible to copy functions between Device Modes.

However, remember that button functions are Device

Mode specific and therefore effectively ‘punch-through’

to the original Device Mode when copied over.
The following example copies the AVR500/AVR600/

AV888

DIRECT

function from the CR104

AMP

device

mode to the shifted function of the # button on

AV

Device Mode.

1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks

twice: * *.

2. Press

9

9 4.

3. Press the Device Mode key of the function you

want to move (e.g. A).

4. Press the function key you want to move (e.g.)/

DIRECT

)

5. Press the key of the Device Mode you want to

copy the function to (e.g. a)

6. Press the S button graphic
7. Press the key you want to copy the function to

(e.g. #)

If you prefer to copy the key to the main function of the
#

button instead of the ‘shifted’ function, omit point 6

in the above example.
