Introduction Battery Installation and Recharging Thank you for purchasing the RR-1090 Universal Remote Control. The RR-1090 can replace up to eight infrared remote controls, operating audio or video components from Rotel and other manufacturers. The RR-1090 includes command sets for hundreds of audio/video components plus it can learn additional commands from your existing remotes. Operation of the RR-1090 is simple and intuitive using just a few buttons and a large LCD menu display. The RR-1090 includes 4 AA rechargeable nickel hydride batteries and a 9V DC adaptor/recharger. When the batteries are weak and need to be recharged, a “LOW BATTERY” indicator appears in the display. Key Features

• Simple programming using built-in command sets for hundreds of components
• Pre-programmed to operate Rotel components.
• Teach the RR-1090 additional commands from other remotes.
• LCD display provides simple menu-driven operation with customizable labels for every command.
• Backlighting for ease of use in dark rooms along with optional beep whenever a button is pressed.
• Four MACRO keys send a sequence of up to 10 commands with the press of a button.
• Includes rechargeable batteries and charger.
• Serial cable and software for programming RR-1090 from any Windows® 95/98 computer. Sensible Precautions
• The RR-1090 is rugged, but it is not indestructible. So please don’t drop it!
• Do not expose the RR-1090 to moisture. To clean the RR-1090, use a soft, lint-free damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning solvents.
• Don’t try to take the RR-1090 apart. Disassembly will void the warranty. To install the batteries, turn the RR-1090 over and lift the cover off the battery compartment by pressing the release tab and lifting up. Place the four AA batteries inside (follow the polarity illustrations on the bottom of the compartment) and replace the cover. To recharge batteries, insert the adaptor cable into the connector on the left side of the RR-1090 . Plug the power adaptor/recharger into an AC wall outlet (USA: 120V/60Hz or Europe: 230V/ 50Hz). A “CHARGING” indicator appears in the display while the adaptor is plugged in. Leave charger operating overnight for a full charge. The remote can be operated with the charger plugged in while the batteries are charging. NOTE: You can use conventional alkaline AA batteries instead of the rechargeable batteries shipped with the RR-1090; however, do not use the power adaptor/charger with alkaline batteries. Getting Started See Figure 1 Please review the following controls and features of the RR-1090: IR Emitter/Sensor The IR Emitter/Sensor is located in the top edge of the RR-1090. It sends the IR commands and must be pointed at the desired component. It also receives IR codes from your other remotes during the LEARNING process or when duplicating the configuration settings from one RR-1090 to another.

RR-1090 Device Buttons MACRO Buttons Eight round buttons on the RR-1090 select which command set is active and which component will be controlled. For example, press the AV1 button and the RR-1090 becomes the remote control for your Rotel Surround Sound Processor. Press the TV button and the RR-1090 becomes the remote control for your TV set. Four buttons labeled M1, M2, M3, and M4 provide a special macro function – sending a sequence of up to 10 commands. For example, a macro sequence could turn on the TV set, select channel 5, turn on the surround processor, and select the TV input. To operate the RR-1090, first press the DEVICE key for the desired component. Then, press basic or menu COMMAND buttons to send the infrared commands for that component. NOTE: The AV1, AV2, and AV3 DEVICE keys can be used for any type of component. Basic Command Buttons The POWER button on the right side of the remote plus two large round 4-way buttons and two smaller round buttons in the center of the RR-1090 duplicate the primary functions for your components – power, volume, channel up/down, play, fast forward, pause, etc. The commands for each button vary, depending on the selected DEVICE button. Menu Command Keys and LCD Display At the top of the RR-1090 is a group of 12 rectangular buttons surrounding an LCD display. These MENU COMMAND keys provide additional functions shown by menu labels appearing in the display adjacent to each button. The function of these buttons varies depending on the type of component selected by the DEVICE buttons and the menu page displayed. PAGE Button Each component selected by a DEVICE button can have up to 48 menu commands. These commands appear in the LCD display in groups (or pages) of twelve. Press the PAGE button to advance to the next page of commands, with new labels appearing in the LCD display. Each press of the PAGE button jumps to the next group for that component, eventually cycling back to the original page. Two of the MACRO buttons (M3 and M4) are also used in customizing the RR-1090. Menu Button This button activates and selects between a series of menu screens in the LCD display used for customizing the RR-1090. The MENU button is not used during normal operation. Power Button In addition to serving as a basic command button, the POWER button is also used during the SETUP procedure when searching the database of IR command codes. Serial Connector This 4-pin modular connector on the back of the RR-1090 can be used to connect the remote to a standard DB-9 serial connector on a PC using the supplied cable. Using PC-LINK software supplied with the unit, codes and commands can be uploaded and/or downloaded from a Windows® 95/98 computer to the RR-1090 remote. This allows easy transfer of one remote’s programming to other RR-1090 remotes as well as simplified customization. See the section on PC-LINK software in this manual. English 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 commands to operate the desired component. Here’s how:

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 available 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 function depends on the type of component selected. Make sure that you have pressed the correct DEVICE 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 sequences – for example, a sequence that turns on the TV set, selects channel 5, turns on the surround processor, and selects the TV input. A macro sequence is sent by pressing the MACRO button where the macro is stored.
