The CR102 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.
O

confirms a setting.

Volume control

By default, the CR102 is set up so that the volume

control buttons always control the volume of the

AVR600/AV888, 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 CR102 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 AVR600

without first having to press A 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.

Useful information

backlight

A blue backlight comes on for five seconds whenever

a key is pressed. This helps you use the handset in

subdued lighting conditions. It may be possible to hear a

quiet tone being emitted from the remote control when

the backlight is on. This is perfectly normal.

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.
Long blinks indicate an invalid key press or entry.
The symbol ‘*’ is used in the manual to indicate a

power LED blink.

Timeouts and unassigned keys

Time out – After 10 seconds the CR102 exits the

programming state and returns to normal operation.
Stuck key timeout – After any key is pressed

continuously for 30 seconds, the CR102 stops sending

IR transmission to conserve battery life. The CR102

remains off until all keys are released.
Unassigned keys – the CR102 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 IR transmit

indicator on the CD102 (the LED under the Power

button) flashes five times whenever you press a button:

If this happens, please fit four new AAA alkaline

batteries as soon as possible.

device Mode / Source keys

As the CR102 can control your AVR600 or AV888 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 AVR600/AV888. If one of these keys is pressed

briefly, a command is transmitted to change the source

on the unit. Also the functionality of the remote control

changes to operate the selected source device. It’s like

having eight different remotes in your hand!

If you press and hold a Device Mode key for about four

seconds, you change the Device Mode of the CR102

without changing the signal source on the AVR600/

AV888. This can also be done by pressing S followed

by a Device Mode key (within two seconds). These two

methods allow you to change which device the CR102

controls without also changing the AVR600/AV888

source, allowing uninterrupted listening.
Each Device Mode changes the behaviour of many

of the CR102 keys to control the source device

appropriately. For example:
In

CD

mode

0

plays the previous CD track.

In

AV

mode

0

issues the TV ‘channel down’ command.
